Yokoyama Yui promoted to Team K, Suzuki Shihori is back!

   Announced at the AKB48 Tokyo Aki Matsuri concert, 9th gen Kenkyuusei Yokoyama Yui was promoted to Team K. Her promotion was to fill the empty spot left behind by Ono Erena's graduation from the group on the 27th last month.

   Yui has come a long way to being a full-fledged member, she auditioned for SKE48's Team KII but was rejected in the 3rd round.

   Also during the concert, the 11th gen Kenkyuuseis made their appearance. Ex-Kenkyuusei (7th gen) Suzuki Shihori, who left the group on August last year, is one of them.

   Shihorin left the group last year on 31 August, just a week after she was promoted to the New Team B in AKB48's Budokan Concert. The reason for her leave was that she was "half-hearted" and felt that she could not continue with her "naive way of thinking," while her peers were desperately trying to achieve their dreams. She decided to graduate so she could figure out her own dream by herself and work directly towards it.

Unfortunately I can't find any videos with Shihorin. Sorry about that.
