- Maeda Yuuka, Mano Erina, and Mitsui Aika will not be present

Handshake events for singles are nothing new since there are always at least a few of them to promote the new single, and while the number of members in the group might be a bit too large for an area I am glad to see that they decided to split them up into teams since it will give them a chance to promote more effectively.

Yuuka will most likely be absent due to her recent graduation announcement and it’s understandable why she would decide to skip this event since many fans have expressed that they will try to encourage her to remain in the group, but she will still be part of promotion in other ways (for example shows on TV and radio). Mano is most likely busy with her stageplay so it’s understandable, while Mitsui is probably absent due to her injury.

Hopefully fans in the area can check out the events (most likely FC only) and buy a copy of the single to support Mobekimasu.
