She will graduate on December 8, 2015, AKB48's 10th anniversary.

Yokoyama Yui will be the next General Manager, taking the role following Takamina's graduation.

[DSQueenie]

Yui doesn't come across as the leader type, even as the A captain. Then again I haven't kept up with AKB.

[AyuHikaru]

My girl is finally graduating. Guess I can stop caring about AKB

[Rm88]

So it's basically just Mayu for me at this point.

[erilaz]

Yeah, once Takamina leaves, all my favorites will be gone from AKB48, but at least I've still got Sae floating around elsewhere in the *48 family.

[Denki]

Only a few weeks left until Takamina graduates.

Apparently, her graduation was delayed.

Her final concert will be on March 26-27, 2016 (location unknown) and her final AKB48 theater performance will be on March 28, 2016. She will be producing 8 stages that will take place this february.

Lol. Tbh my interest in AK$ has waned just from finding out she was graduating in the near future, so I can understand then wanting to hold on to her for a little longer.

... ??? So it just sucks to be those guys who bought high-priced tickets & travel arrangements/etc to what should have been her final stage?
