It’s the end of an era for Hinatazaka46’s first-gen members!
Kumi Sasaki, Mirei Sasaki, and Mana Takase made their last-ever TV appearance on Music Station (Feb 14), and honestly? It was emotional.
Decked out in their classic uniforms, the group gave a stunning performance of Sotsugyo Shashin Dake ga Shitteru.
But this wasn’t just any stage—it was a full-on goodbye moment for the OGs.
Before stepping into the spotlight, each of them shared their thoughts.
Sasaki Mirei admitted she was nervous but wanted to make it a Valentine’s Day to remember.
Takase Mana soaked in every second, and Sasaki Kumi? Ever the leader, she thanked Music Station, the fans, and even the absent members.
Class act!
The cameras knew what was up, zooming in on the three graduates throughout the performance.
And fans? They were NOT okay.
Social media exploded with messages of love, nostalgia, and (of course) debates over whether they got the grand farewell they deserved.
Then came the final moment—Kumi turned to Music Station host Tamori and asked for his continued support of Hinatazaka46.
And just like that, the first-gen chapter officially closed.
Hinatazaka46 moves on, but this farewell? Yeah, it’s one for the history books.
