Kasai announcing her graduation doesn't come as much of a suprise, as many speculated this after she announced her solo single. Goodbye and good luck to Masuda Yuka on her final performance. This setlist looks very interesting, another shuffle concert like last years and some of the performances sound very promising indeed. I'm highly looking forward to the DVD release so I can watch it.
