AKB48's Kashiwagi Yuki expresses her gratitude with her watermelon of victory!

allkpop


While the main event of the night during AKB48�s 3rd Senbatsu General Election may have been the fight for first between Maeda Atsuko and Oshima Yuko, the real Cinderella story was of 3rd place winner Kashiwagi Yuki.

Kashiwagi was never expected to break into the elite 7, which has been held by Maeda Atsuko, Oshima Yuko, Shinoda Mariko, Watanabe Mayu, Takahashi Minami, Kojima Haruna, and Itano Tomomi for the past two years.

---

She originally applied for the Team A and Team K auditions, but her mother didn't want her to travel to Tokyo alone, and she was later rejected by Tsunku during the Morning Musume 8th Generation audition. However, that never stopped her, as she continued coming back to audition to fulfill her dream of becoming an idol. Her mother finally came with her to Tokyo, and that's where she was finally accepted during Team B�s auditions. Now she�s the 3rd most popular member in Japan�s top girl group, showing that hard work truly does pay off.

---

Many AKB48 fans are annoyed that she made it to third in both the early results and final results, passing Team B's ace Watanabe Mayu and other fan favorites from the elite 7, but true Kashiwagi fans are nothing but happy for her.

The General Election Tallying Event has finished!!


The long day and long two weeks are (finally) over.


First, everyone, thank you so so SO much for �3rd place� T_T


Honestly, I�m really surprised.


Until now, I have relied and depended on other members a lot.


This time, to receive this fantastic rank�


It�s not that I think I should change, but that I should have a little more self-confidence!


And regardless of the rank, I�m proud to be a member of AKB!!


And,


Everyone, thank you so much for the warm comments ^^


�This is the result of Yukirin�s hard work!�


That�s not true!


This is thanks to everyone who has felt the way I do and has cheered me on.


Just as before, even more than before, I�ll make a great effort


So that I can have everyone think,


�I�m glad I cheered for her�


I�ll do my best even more!


What�s important is (whatever happens) from now on ^^


Please look after me in the future as well


PS: When I got home, my mom prepared me a watermelon, which I love ^^
