^Knowing it’s Maachan it will definitely be something unexpected but perhaps it’ll be a song to make everyone smile or energetic.

Yeah tbh I don't really associate specific songs with Masaki like I do with Oda or some other girls, that's why I was wondering I guess.

Come to think of it I guess I'd like to hear if she ever mastered "WHAT IS LOVE?" on the piano. Imagine if she started singing it by herself at the keyboard with a bluesy lowkey feel and then little by little the rest of the group joined in with energy and emotion....

Ah.... I was really hoping, hoping I wouldn't see this thread title, even though it wasn't very realistic. At least my work switched how they do holidays so now I should be able to take off that Monday. It's been years since I've been to a concert, but I can't miss this.
Masaki's the first MM girl to have a 10 year history to graduate since Sayumi, right? I do hope this means she'll get a true solo grad song.

The Japanese gov. set a goal for everyone to already have their 2nd dose by November 2021. By December, I'm hoping things will get better so the concert can be filled up a little more.
I think Budokan is the right place, because it is where her gen mates Kudo Haruka and Iikubo Haruna graduated. It has more meaning to her than any other venue.

She does have a pretty memorable line with Miki in that one.

This fact surprised me the most about her graduation. For an unknown reason, my memory of the 10 gen wearing the chick costumes in Pyoko Pyoko Ultra is still very clear. It is hard to remind myself that that was 10 years ago! And despite that, Maachan is still very young. It will be sad to not be able to see her in MM again, but I am really looking forward for what she will bring in the future.

If someone else has the time and interest to go through it, this channel…
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCmzGalBi5FGUWMElT-XzPQ…might be a good source of information between now and the big event. It already has comments from Yuiri Murayama (AKB48) and Sanma Akashiya.
I don't have the time. Not for the foreseeable future. I'm dealing with stuff.

Masaki's message to fans on twitter.
Summarized translation by Chanting Lee on twitter
(among other things, it seems Masaki chose Budokan for her grad. So the earlier announcement meant a concert in general was planned either way, though not specifically the venue.)Twitter thread begins here:

In summary:
Thanks for coming to our event! Did you have fun today? I certainly did!!
I've been surrounded by beautiful flowers one after the other since joining MM (meaning the members). I met Tanaka Reina-san, who loves deeply and is super hard working.
Michishige Sayumi-san, who is full of love for MM. Both of them started new paths, which brought forth both happiness+sadness in me. It was also during this time my idea of MM started to change. I met a lot of juniors since, and MM has taught me different types/ways of love.
But 3 months from now, I'll be leaving these flowers behind, and MM's Sato Masaki won't be there anymore.
Here, I want the fans to promise me 1 thing.
Please stay away from me for a while & support the current MM (I'm a little worried abt Ayumin).
This is my wish!
Sorry for being selfish.
I want to start anew, and this might be very different from MM's Masaki. I also don't know if it'll go well or not... So I won't say "please follow/support me!"
Although it's rather selfish of me, I decided on my graduation to properly separate myself from Tsunku+MM. I want the remaining 3 months to be of no regrets - with the members & with Tsunku's songs.
I wanted to say goodbye to MM in Budokan - the stage where I debut and really love. I will do my best with the remaining time! I'm really thankful to have met you all today. Thanks for coming.
