【SUREL】190910 - Yui Yokoyama - English vers.

● Important Story ●

This time, for all those who have supported Yui Yokoyama, for all those who have supported AKB48, sorry for the inconvenience. 

I could not immediately say about this, and I felt anxious during that time. 

I am really, really sorry.

This time, my picture from 3 years ago/more than 3 years ago was scattered.

At that time, I consulted with the manager and my parents several times about graduation, thinking it might not be suitable for idol work. 

It was a difficult time, because I could not control myself well and it was painful.

I can hold back my work, and I can only think of leaving just because I was not chosen Team 8 Senbatsu.

The following year until now, I continue to work hard for group activities.

From then on, I began to be serious about my words and actions. 

I really love Team 8 and from now on I want to guide my juniors and do my best for AKB48. 

However, the photos from 3 years ago was spread and as a result I betrayed everyone who supported me. 

Then, it is also a distraction for the members and all related people around them. 

I can only think of my past reflection on myself. 

I am very sorry for betraying the trust of the people who are my fans.

I will leave the decision to the staff regarding my future activities.
