I was there 10 years ago. It is incredible how 10 years already passed. I remember this being a moment of strong emotion and I was very moved. There was this big atmosphere in the air as one of the big senpai of the group graduated. I was only 20 yo back then. Ah, sometimes time has a way to pass so fast....
She got a nice voice as a 5th Gen but there is so much great singer when she joined e.g. Ai-chan etc and strong personality e.g. Mako-chan and cute character by Konkon. I think this is the reason that she did shine a bit later after Ai-chan graduate. I still like her because she did shine differently from others and this make her special. Gaki-san, Daisuki!
Totally agree about her voice, I first noticed that in her solo for Onna ni Sachi Are but I still love Aichan just as much as Risa-chii. All my favourite graduated one by one..at least OdaSaku is here
I love her voice because that low pitch is unique among idols. Ai-chan is a more stable singer but overall Gaki is my favorite member, she was the best leader material and i love her personality
