DiVA’s Miyazawa Sae celebrates birthday with live concert

On August 13th, AKB48 sub-unit DiVA celebrated the release of their newest single “Cry” by holding a live event at Ai Chikyuu Haku Memorial Park.

August 13th was also member Miyazawa Sae’s birthday, and so despite the intense heat, 2,300 fans gathered for this special event.

While the four members were on standby for their next number, “Namida Surprise” started to play instead. The other three members – Akimoto Sayaka, Umeda Ayaka and Masuda Yuka – collaborated with their huge fanbase to surprise Miyazawa by celebrating her birthday together.


Touched, Miyazawa thanked everyone and said, “This is the first time in my life that this many people have celebrated my birthday. I’m so thankful for all the fans who cheer on DiVA and myself, even when people should put the utmost attention on themselves on such a hot day like today.”

After the live, the girls greeted their fans off by stamping an item of their fans’ choice. This portion of the live was called ‘Osukina mono ni Stamp Pon!!‘ (We’ll stamp whatever you like, PON!), and the stamps they pressed were personally designed by the members themselves. DiVA will be holding another event like this on August 20th at Chiba Makuhari Messe and on September 17th at Senri Serushii in Osaka.
