Takamina has officially graduated from AKB yesterday.
I first saw her in Shin Domoto Kyoudai when I had nothing but negative preconceived ideas about AKB. But with time I came to like her a lot. She's a really hardworking and cool girl with a huge desire to learn and improve. And I have a lot of respect for all what she did for her group. I also liked her interactions with Kinki and the rest of the Domoto Brothers Band.I hope she will be able to do the things that she loves now that she's a solo act.
Also, I'm really glad that her last TV appearance as an AKB member was on Kinsma. It's the show that handles people's stories and emotional moments with the most respect and dignity, and Nakai is the most trustworthy MC. I'll be waiting for her future appearances on smap and kinki shows.
