Ex AKB48 center Maeda Atsuko made an appearance at AKB48 concert held in Sapporo Dome on the 31st July 2013. This is the first time she’s returning to the group since graduating one year ago. Once known as the “Eternal Ace”, her entrance drew Acchan calls from the 30,000-strong audience, moving her to tears as she said “Everyone, it has been awhile. This is Maeda Atsuko.”
