If you pay attention to any sort of AKB48 news, you may have noticed that the 10th year anniversary event has recently passed. Here’s a translation of when Akimoto Sayaka starts crying. As touching as it was, the members reactions were also pretty funny.
The transcript is courtesy of AKB Memorist. If I find the actual Live On Demand episode, I’ll try and sub it. Here’s the text:
Sayaka: *crying*
秋元才加 → 号泣
Takamina: “Sayaka’s crying. Your timing is so awkward!”
高橋みなみ「才加が泣いてる。タイミングがおかしいのよ」
Sayaka: “I’m sorry. I just thought about how happy I am” *more crying!*
秋元才加「ほんとごめん。ほんとに幸せだなって思っちゃった(号泣)」
Takamina: *laughing*
高橋みなみ → ｗ
Sae: “This is really ugly. Please, don’t spread this around. For the sake of AKB, and for the future of AKB.”
宮澤佐江「ほんとブサイク。ほんとにもうこれ絶対明日流さないでください。AKBのために、未来のAKBのために」
Sayaka: “I’m graduated! Please don’t worry”
秋元才加「もう卒業してますよ、安心してください」
Other members: *laughter*
メンバーたち → ｗ
Takamina: “You’re like the guy that says, ‘I’m wearing'” **
高橋みなみ「はいてますよ、みたいになっちゃってるｗ」
Sae: “You’ve got it backwards though. So close, so close”
宮澤佐江「逆だったね、惜しい惜しい」
I know Sae-chan said not to spread this around, but couldn’t help myself. Sorry!

** This is a reference to Japanese comedian, Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura. You may have seen him already, as he has appeared on AKBingo before. Here’s a really hilarious Youtube video, with English subtitles, of his act:
