Graduation announcements thread

Myao was a next gen ace...

 

For how long was Myao a next gen ace? She was dropped from being a senbatsu staple / option after Poniteru. Some may say its because she dropped to UG in the sousenkyo that year but then again, peope like Kato Rena and Yuria performed much worst in the past but were not dropped after sousenkyo that year.

So yes, Myao got some push, but not really that much (has she ever been a front row senbatsu? not sure), and was dropped quite too soon (relative to other pushes).

 

2 years.

Hebirote.

She didn't drop to UG. She made it to senbatsu that year. It's cute how you seize every opportunity to bash on Renacchi tho. Stay classy.

 

Not her too omg. Her performances are really good, she did Cross and Blue Rose really well. I just noticed her name getting crossed from HS result (yeah, I'm late) and my worst expectation hit like this. The fact that it's stated that she had difficulties with balancing studies and her pulling out without last HS or grad stage really tell the seriousness of the situation. Best of luck to her studies.

 

My bad, Myao actually made it to Hebirote. And bashed Kato Rena? Lol. I like her push and I do like her in senbatsu. I personally preferred her over Paruru and would have liked it if she received the Paruru push instead.

Still, it can't be denied that management gave her a lot of leeway and pushes compared to other pushed members.

Anyway, getting OT, sorry mods.

 

If a girl can't combine school and AKB for some years, why couldn't she take a pause from AKB and then come back after school?

 

11 or 12 to 19 if I'm not mistaken.

 

can't they go hiatus for a while?

 

Rara just came back from a school related hiatus.

Although for girls with less of a foothold in their group, grad would be the option that makes more sense.

 

Japanese universities are pretty well-known for having brutal entrance exams, but not being that hard once you're already in, lol.

Speaking of school-related hiatuses, wasn't that the reason Hiiwatan gave for her hiatus, too?

 

Many took hiatus because of school related matter but rarely for years. So yeah, who holds the hiatus record now? Haruppi?

 

Aikawa Maho, if not limited to 48G.

 

Ok, I see. I just think if a girl wanted to take hiatus for a while for complete the studies it would be good for both her and AKB. She have trained a lot and AKB must have invested in her training so why wasting it all because she have to graduate?But of course not for a long period, maximum one year.

 

Umeda Ayaka was out injured for 15 months early on iirc.

 

The I*ZONE gals.

16th gen KKS Umemoto Izumi will withdraw from AKB48. Her last HS event is on 2018/11/25; she won't have a graduation stage.

 

This and Homma Maï are a mystery to me.
Their performance record can be counted on one hand and when they do, they can't do a full stage.
I remember them being terrible when the 16th gen was introduced, and in Izumi's case she looked terrfied on stage.

They aren't really performing that's one thing, and I wonder if they are taking lessons ? and here I mean extra lessons
It's a question to never see these girls on stage while one of the purpose of AKB48 is to whatch your idols grow. And these 2 are invisible.

So why do they keep them ?
Back in 2012, the mangement cutted some kenkyusei, with the reason of too many, they were judged on their skills.
These 2 are known to be very bad and don't seem to improve a lot, yet they are still members.

Anyway they are brave to have auditionned and in Izumi's case to have stayed that long.
