Atsuko Maeda: "Enough is enough" says Ariyoshi about her tense AKB days Sakurai: "The drama heel"
When Sakurai Sho (38) aksed "Do you feel that you were on edge back then?" She recalled, "I really was. I could tell that the people around me had seen that I was the 'tense Atsuko Maeda'. When I sensed the atmosphere of adults coming to ask me how I was doing today and if I was okay, I was even more upset. The result was that my mind was even more disturbed. "No, I'm not angry. I always said I'm not angry, but people think I'm angry again and ask me about it," she explained with a smirk, continuing the negative cycle of frustration.
Takahashi, who now is the closest of all the members, said, "I felt like the poison was finally released after graduation. At that time, they used to celebrate members' birthdays with surprises, but Atsuko's birthday was never a success...".
"One year, Atsuko had a live concert on the day of her birthday, and Tomochin (Tomomi Itano) said, 'Let's do something! So the staff took her to Disney's MiraCosta, and we decided to surprise her there.
As we all were in a big room waiting I got a call saying "Maeda-san is here but she won't come out of the car" After some conversation she came along and we said "Happy birthday" but she said "I'm going home". While crying Itano Tomomi said "I thought she would be happy"".

11. I was watching this and I thought Tomochin was a good kid
[+2,729, -49]
12. Tomochin, poor thing...
[+2,420, -50]
13. The members accept this kind of thing and get along well with each other, and it seems like they're letting her off the hook because she's Atsuko Maeda, but I don't have anyone around me who's this strange...
[+2,788, -12]
14. I wonder how many more years she can stay in the entertainment industry
[+1,855, -15]
15. Well, she was the top of AKB in their prime.
That's quite a task.

I feel sorry for Tomochin.
But she's got a motherly vibe now, and she seems to have lost her edge!
