Because she's call Takaragi Tsubasa unlike the other AKB members who name is their nickname in real life.

None of the current members (successors)
actually share their names with the old AKB members. They seem to go by their stage names for all intents and purposes, but presumably they had real names before they inherited the AKB names.
Tsubasa appears to be a former idol who retired and became manager, so it makes sense that the current members refer to her by her old stage name, while she introduces herself by her real name.
At least, that's my take on the matter.
