Sayaka Yamamoto's comments last January 13 for AKB's Coming of Age Day ceremony drew mixed reactions from the public. When she was asked about her thoughts on being able to drink alcohol now that she's become an adult, Yamamoto said: "Our senpais did say that 'we're going to have to get these new adults wasted', so I'm preparing for that".
On the reader's column "koe" of Asahi Shinbun published on the 20th, there was a comment there that was made about Yamamoto's statement entitled "[Getting wasted] worried as to how that will be done". The contributor talked about the hazards of being dependent on alcohol and also went on to say, "It seemed to me that these idols are too careless with their comments. To think that they have a huge influence on the youth".
Because of this, various opinion have been voiced out on the Internet, as some fans have defended Yamamoto by saying, "This person is worrying too much", "Don't take it seriously", while others said, "If she's aware that she's a part of this national idol group then she shouldn't have said that", "It's fine when you talk like this amongst yourselves, but it's a different case when you say this to the media, and during the seijin-shiki at that".

Mayu Watanabe and Haruka Shimazaki, along with other AKB group members, were at the Kanda Myoujin shrine in Tokyo on the 13th for their annual "Coming of Age Day" photo shoot. 26 total members from the AKB group were present at the event, the most since they started doing this in 2011.
Watanabe comments: "I want to have momentum this year. I want people to think 'Wow, looks like it's Mayuyu's time!' this year. This will be a make-or-break year for AKB. I hope all of us can come together and work hard as one".
Shimazaki comments: "I took inspiration from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and tried to be original with my Kimono. I'm not really good with interpersonal relations so I want to deepen my relations with others through drinking".
