Time: Night
Place: Live venue

A short black haired male with a pair of crimson eyes stood in front of the audience. Finally, at last.. they had entered the last slot of the event. Yes, it's none other than Sakura's farewell speech. He took a step ahead of his members. They just finished sung the last song...

His crimson orbs scanned the venue, audience... and lastly, his members. He noticed the disappearance of light purple haired male, "... Yupe-kun probably had gone to the backstage... Nevermind,". He then fixed his focus on the audience.

"How funny... Last time, I gave speech to my graduated member, thanking him for everything. This time... I'm the one who bid farewell to my group,".

The hall was in dead silence. Sakura's expression gradually changed into unreadable ones. It's hardly to read what's he's thinking at that time. "What's this indescribable feeling? Is this what Yupe-kun felt at that time?".

He closed his eyes before took a deep breath, "Focus, Sakura! You can do it!". Sakura turned on the microphone  and began his speech.

"First and foremost... I want to thank you for coming here tonight. This garduation ceremony was supposed to be held on last January, a few days after my birthday. But, due to some circumstance... it got postponed to this day. Still, thank you for stick around with us till the end,". He paused.

"To tell the truth, it was so hard to make this decision. I meant, I had been with AlbaNox from the start... for almost two years... It's not a short period. There were a lot of things had happened on that period. First album released, Yupe-san's graduation, Emu-san's joining the group, one man live and many more... Good ones, bad ones, happy ones and sad ones. These were the countless memories that had been create together for the past two years!".

Everyone looked at the floor. No one dare to raise their head because they wanted to hide their gloomy face. "I... I... I actually wanna stay with AlbaNox forever!!! As Boss!!! As the red leader! However, I won't able to do so... There's some circumstance that forced me to make this choice,". Sakura then continued to give speech.

Tears already formed in the members' eyes. They're too absorbed in their feelings that they can't quite catch their leader last speech. Sakura's soft gentle voice made it more emotional. But, they knew that it's full of sincere feelings.

"So.. yeah... Here I am, standing on this stage for the last time as AlbaNox member. I... Sakura, as person who's in charge of 「AlbaNox」red member as well the leader... officially graduated today. I'm not longer an Idol.. but I'm really grateful if you all continue to support me doing another activities,".

Sakura turned around, faced his members, "And please continue to support AlbaNox from now and on too! I... myself will always support my members,". Sakura then bowed to the audience.

"Once again, thank you very much for attending my graduation ceremony tonight! Really... without you all, I won't able to stand here tonight. Thank you very very much! Yours sincerely, Sakura,". The speech ended. But, Sakura didn't know what awaits him at that time.

*sing* "Happy birthday to you~". The short male turned back. Light purple haired male came out from the backstage while holding a cake.

"Happy birthday to you~". The other members and audience joined him too.

"Happy birthday dear Sakura-kun~". Together with Yupe, the members slowly walked towards him.

"Happy birthday to you~". Yupe brought the cake close to Sakura's face. "You guys... Seriously... I... I'm really happy... Thank you... Thank you very much!". Sakura can't hold his tears and started to cry. This birthday surprise is too much for him.

"Sakura-kun, here,". Uto handed him a piece of tissue. You can see that the others also wiped their eyes too. "Thanks,". Sakura wiped his face. "Saa, Sakura-kun... Please make wishes!". Said Yupe. "Un!". Sakura closed his eyes and made wishes. He then blew the candles.

Everyone clapped their hands. "Congratulations on your birthday, Sakura-kun!". "Thank you for being alive!".

They then took a picture together. It's their tradition to conclude the event. Yupe also joined the photo session. Sakura AlbaNox Graduation event had ended.
