A last goodbye for Yuko - Kyo made no Melody

Everyone of you will know by now, but Oshima Yuko graduated from AKB48! She's already doing different things like being in BRASIL and commenting on the Fifa World Cup!! (Our queen is awesome like that)


I wrote about her graduation concert and about her final theater performance, but there's one thing left I didn't write about: her graduation song!

It is called ''Kyo made no Melody'' and is included as the main B-side in every edition of AKB48 36th single ''Labrador Retriever''. I'm sad we don't get an Undergirls song this time (because voting singles Undergirls tend to be pretty cool) but it's also nice to have the last Yuko song.
Kyo made no Melody is a graduation song with a beautiful melody, though it is a bit upbeat, especially compared to other graduation songs. It probably isn't the best one out of them, but it's a nice change from the other songs. Yuko mostly sings alone, but the participating senbatsu/ ori-K members included also take part from the second verse on to the end. I really think Yuko's voice fits this kind of songs. Of course she doesn't have the best voice on the planet, but I really like it (though I guess I'm in the minority).





In the video, we at first see some kind of documentary where Yuko walks through a building.



She meets this guy and starts talking with him for a bit..


But finally Yuko goes out again, where it's raining. And look closely, she's at the AKB48 Cafe & Shop!


The three left first gens appear and take a walk with Yuko..


Wait? Takamina is talles than YUko? Something's wrong! LOL


Oh, they are at the theater..
Yuko: Nyan Nyan, you look good!


The camera work is a bit odd.. It seems to be on purpose so that it's more personal?


FANS!



The girls then arrive at a Theater/ concert hall.


Seems like this is the venue where they held their first concert!



The nostalgia...


Yuihan appears!!


With a funny looking camera xD


The photos look interesting xD


Yuko, stop looking like a gangster :P


Paruuuuu!!


So the weather isn't nice.. it's windy!



Other members appear: Kitarie, Ricchan..


And Mayuyu..



Why do I get the feeling this looks a bit like Instagram.. xD


Mayuki!!


Mayuki!! Yeah, the cameras are all weird..


Group shot. There are now even more girls..


So now they are at the Tokyo Dome City Hall!


Juriiiinaaa!! With a very cute camera and the brightest smile ever!


Like a mother with her child.. :)


I don't understand how they don't catch attention and how there aren't any fans..


Mako!


Okay... so they are waving a random dude ..


Cute Ricchan with Yuki


Tokyo Dome! I wonder, will they perform at Tokyo Dome again this year??


That Mayu smirk ;D


Ricchan, are you going crazy?




Yeah, some of the photos are pretty funny!


Beautiful Yuko pic *-*


This is so sad.. Yuko and Takamina saying goodbye..


That little camera xD


Rino is so beautiful, I don't know why everyone calls her ugly..


That smile and those smiley eyes <3


Yuki looks as if she did something bad..


Takamina, pls... :D And Sasshi doesn't give a fuck..


A random dude.. Finally someone who wonders what's up with the girls xD


YuiParu!


Why is Paruru so tall?


Ganbarou Nippon!!! (sadly they lost the first game :/)


Beautiful flowers.. with Yuko.


After all this is her graduation song, so it needs Yuko close-ups!



That's such a beautiful picture *-*


Everyone os here with Yuko <3



But Yuko walks away..


She will graduate.. No, she already graduated.. Damn, why?


So pretty *-*


Kissing monster.. And even Nyan is doing her pout


Cute!



A very cute Mako!


Yuko, what are you doing??


Poor Miichan xD


Oh, Rie is already crying.



YuiParu again!



Yuko + No3b


So now they are taking pictures of all of them?


KojiYuu!!! And Takamina, OMG! XD


So cool!!!  Look at Mayu and Jurina!! ^^


Soooo, who are these people?


Guy: Surprise, surprise!


Yuko: Huh?


Yuko: OMG!!!


Sae-chan!!!!! :D


And even more people: Mocchi, Natsumin & Ume-chan.


And Kana!


Tomomi, a pregnant Megumi and Yuppai.


It's a 2nd gen/ ori Team K reunion!!!!


Megumi's baby is blessed by Team K!!


Nacchi's there! And even Kaoru, OMG!!! So cool, haven't seen her in a while :)


And there's Nonti, haha :') Sooo nice, to see all of them in this video!


And here's Sayaka. It's sad that she wasn't at the meeting, but she's still in the video!!


Still the best singer!


Sae, what are you wearing??
Ohh, everyone is just soo happy, that's cool!


Yuko's graduation is all about flowers..


:'(


See, Yuko even gives away flowers. One for Jurina.


One for Paruru.


And one for Mayuyu. The new gens, I tell you!



Now this makes me sad.. We will never see her again smiling in an AKB video.. :(


Like always, Takamina is crying at a graduation..


Haha, Yuko!


A last Yuko shot!


And a last group shot (with Takamina crying).

*after a few minutes of crying*
Damn... This made me realize again how awesome Yuko is, so I'm even more sad now that she graduated.. The whole video is about the members having a good time, it's so positive. This really fits Yuko's personality and I'm happy she got such a happy video (haha). The other graduation videos were all so sad, so this one sets itself apart from them. I also love that so many 2nd gen members (+ Mocchi) appeared in the video. Especially people like Kaoru and Nacchi, who don't do that much with the AKB members anymore (would have been amazing if Erena were there btw). Im just a little bit sad, that they weren't shown even more here. Like, they only appeared at the end and I really enjoyed their scene so much. Another thing is the documentary in the beginning. Okay, it's beautiful and all, but after the first time it gets a bit annoying to watch it everytime, so I just skip it.. xP But yeah, it's still a great video!

All in all, Yuko's graduation song really marks a different yet awesome graduation song/ video.
But now excuse me, while I go crying a bit more. Okay, I'm joking, but it is sad to realize she already graduated...
Well, let's look forward (Mae shika Mukanee)!
I can't wait to see more of the new generations!
