We have been active as a unit dedicated to the virtual space "XR World", but this time we jumped out of the virtual world and held our first real meeting.
At the event, before revealing the identity of the center, the results of a survey of 70 fans gathered at the venue were announced. 3rd place was Maho Omori (7 votes), 2nd place was Kisei Sato (17 votes), 1st place was Kankai Tokunaga (27 votes), and it was revealed that Yuki Kashiwagi also received 2 votes. Laughter ensued.
It was announced at the performance, and when the avatar SURRY started singing "Yume de Kiss me!" in the video, Tokunaga joined as a real member, as many fans expected. Tokunaga, who was linked to the video of SURRY, sang and danced in the middle of the applause and clapping.
Tokunaga introduced himself by saying, "In AKB48 SURREAL, I'm Kankai Tokunaga, also known as REMI, who plays the center SURRY." "I never thought that the day would come when I could join such an amazing group and become the center, so I'm full of anxiety, but I'm really happy," she said with a smile.
He said that he had been preparing since summer, and said, "I've been nervous because I wanted to say it to everyone, but I'm happy to finally be able to unveil it in front of everyone."
From now on, Tokunaga will act as REMI as SURRY in this project. AKB48 SURREAL's special live "Wagamama Metaverse" performance will be deluxe edition from tomorrow 16th, and REMI as SURRY will appear for the first time in a double encore.
