SKE48 announces 26th single for January

The Japanese idol group announced their 26th Single “So-Yu-Toko Aru Yo Ne?” during a Showroom LIVE on 29 October 2019. The single comes with a huge surprise, SKE48 founding member and top star Matsui Jurina will not be included in the senbatsu of the title song. It is the first SKE48 Senbatsu without Matsui Jurina since SKE48 was founded. Center becomes Team E member Suda Akari.

Senbatsu:
Team S: Inoue Ruka, Nojima Kano, Kitagawa Yoshino
Team KII: Arai Yuki, Ego Yuna, Oba Mina, Soda Sarina, Takayanagi Akane, Takeuchi Saki, Hidaka Yuzuki, Furuhata Nao
Team E: Asai Yuka, Kamata Natsuki, Kumazaki Haruka, Sato Kaho, Suenaga Oka, Suda Akari, Takahata Yuki

須田亜香里センターになるということがSKE48にとって終わりではなく始まりになるよう、ポジションがセンターだからというわけでなく、最後列端の時と変わらぬ姿勢で、感謝の気持ちを忘れず努力を楽しみます！
皆様、ご指導、ご鞭撻、楽しむ準備、よろしくお願いします。#SKE48 #ソーユートコあるよね pic.twitter.com/ZMqqLGpvoo
