AKB48’s Kashiwagi Yuki performs in her hometown for the first time

Four and a half years ago, Kashiwagi Yuki joined AKB48 and climbed her way to becoming Team B’s captain. She and her mother packed up their entire lives and moved to Tokyo so that Kashiwagi could fulfill her dreams. However, during her time in AKB48, she has never gotten the chance to perform in her hometown of Kagoshima.
Kashiwagi was initially excited that AKB48 would be heading to Kagoshima on their nationwide tour this year, however, she learned to her disappointment that Team 4 would be performing there instead of Team B.
AKB48’s management, however, once again showed how much they care for the members, as they sent Kashiwagi to Team 4’s concert as a surprise guest!
Kashiwagi blogged that she sang “Yokaze no Shiwaza” and that all of the fans in Kagoshima cheered so loud that she wasn’t even able to hear her own voice, making her feel extremely moved.
She wrote, “It’s been 4 and a half years since I moved to Tokyo for AKB. This was my first time singing a song in my hometown of Kagoshima!! … Singing in Kagoshima was a dream of mine x_X <3 <3 I was really moved to be able to achieve that dream today T_T T_T”.
