Five months later, February 2009
The success of Oogoe Diamond firmly cemented their position in the idol market as now people flock at Akihabara to see AKB48 perform daily. The single also marked the official debut of Jurina and Ayumi as they received many new fans just to watch those two perform. 
During the five months Ayumi grew accustomed to her role as idol. Since they were the newest team, they were the last to perform around 7 o'clock until 9 when they have to pack everything and leave. It was a fun experience. She really got to know her teammates as they now built a sisterly bond with one another. She enjoyed performing on stage, singing with captain Urano and talking with Mayu, Rino and Natsumi who became her close friends here. She really felt like she finally found a place where she really belonged and the fact her teammates were so supportive made it all better. 
It was the month of February where the echos of love filled the hearts of many young students as they all prepared to send their love letters towards their not-so-secret crush. Nearing the age of thirteen love isn't something she was worried about not that it matters. She dreams somewhere along the way in the journey of life she finds a boy of her own. She found it hilarious that Jurina have several love letters. The hot-headed girl proceeded to rip them all out and made a big fuss about the entire day. Eventually the girls waved goodbye to Mizuki before taking off the Akihabara. 
"Wow you're serious you're telling me little Jurina-chan had a whole set of love letters!" Mayu laughed. 
"That's not the whole story she ripped them all out and cursed a storm, she nearly got herself detention because of that. You should've seen her she was lively" Ayumi added making her teammates laugh even her harder. 
"That totally sounds something she would do!" Sasshii laughs holding her stomach to calm down her laughter. 
"Careful Ayu-chan she has a growing fan base I feel bad for the poor boy whose heart she breaks" Yukirin adds. 
"I told you to shut up about that now I'll never hear the end of it!" Jurina shouted embarrassed as the girl laughed. Suddenly Akimoto appeared as he gave them patted the two rookies on the head. 
"I think we had enough teasing girls, the senbatsu elections are about to begin and you all can't be late so let's save the chit chat for later" he reminded them.
"We wouldn't want to miss to election shall we" Urano reminded the girls as Team B arrived towards the main auditorium as the other teams were in their respective teams. Team B sat in their respective seats. Akimoto observed all the teams were already seated so he began speaking.
"Konichiwa it's a pleasure to see all of you again I'm sure all of you are excited for our next single: Juunen Zakura. As you know it's been about four years since our group has debuted and I and now most of our original members are finishing their final years in high school. Make you wonder how everything will be in ten years. That is the question that has been brought up to my mind lately, our newest addition are only middle school students. I wonder how both girls will be when they grow up. Will they still be here as idols or they move on to other endeavors to pursue another career and that what I want the theme is this song will be."
"Now then onto the current senbatsu elections our main three centers are Atsuko Maeda, Jurina Matsui, and Ayumi Tanaka." Akimoto announced as Ayumi stood up in shock.
"E-Eh I actually get to be in the center this time" Ayumi stammered out in shock.
"Well naturally I choose the two of you, you're both our newest rookies and this single was inspired by how you two will grow up in the next ten years. As for Maeda she had the highest votes, her appearance in the last single help boost our reputation so she will star as the group's main center."
