    Well, Goofing with Sasshii and Michan ... I guess they still keep each other informed about talented junior members, rumor has it that they did that since back when Miichan was Team 4 captain.
    Comparing notes about their kohai ... there's a clip in The Time has come where Sasshii compliments one of Miichan's 'charges', she would not have done that if she didn't receive information about that junior member I guess.

    I like the idea of prominent, veteran members grooming their kouhai to be their legacy representatives. Makes the group seem like it has some internal structure. Is Yahagi particularly attached to one of the seniors?

    Most frequent is to Miichan.

    In eito it seems there is also similar things. The senior members frequently help the juniors in dance and singing.

    well that's neat, I like miichan a lot. Makes sense with her being Team K and all.

    From what I understood the whole Senpai - Kohai dynamics permeates the whole of Japanese society, at schools, at the workplace, so of course it is present in AKB ..... somewhere in 'The Time has Come' you see a clip where the kenkyusei are told were they can sit that they have to keep certain chairs free for their senpai etc. etc. and they are all diligently taking notes.

    It permeates Asia mostly (and by Asia I mean East+Southeast Asia).

    Yeah I remember that scene. Also in the HKT documentary, after the 2nd gen debuted there were so many of them they had to do their makeup in the practice room because the first gens were in the dressing room.

    Moeka might be a fast rising member but she's still in the newest gen so she's got a lot of senpai to respect and to learn from.

    Yeah, you see that in TTHC as well, al kenkyusei huddled together between some lockers, waiting ... while Team 4 is getting ready in the dressing room, the kenkyusei stating they will have to clean up the dressing room while the member are performing then get changed together.
    But remember, those Minegishi Team 4 members where all senkyusei not that long before that .... it's a two way street, it seems its expected of team captain to take their team members out to diner and pay for them.
    except for the first gens I guess they all had to go through it (and Miichan is the exception to the first gens, as she was a kenkyusei for a short time as well and would still be expected to behave as a kouhai)
    The first gens had another difficulties to surmount ...

    Moeka is too strong. Adding her to my favorites list feels like it was inevitable

    I wonder years down the track they'll try to pit Moeka vs Akari (HKT) just as how there was that Mayu vs Sasshi thing

    Profile of the "Savior of AKB48" in ModelPress.

    "AKB 48 Yahagi Moeka Solo Concert ~ Everyone gathers together" and the first time in history, as the member, the fastest solo concert as a member. What is the reason why the newcomer with the expectation that made it succeed now is said to be "the savior of AKB48 "?

    I sure hope some senior members are teaching her how to cope with the level of stress this kind of hyperbole might bring.
    The girl is just 16, and she's basically being told the future of AKB depends on her, that's just setting her up for failure.
    I hope her senpai help her to be level headed about it.

    ^ agreed
    though if its any assurance, she seems to take it in her stride
    seems to be the type who relishes the challenge and want to prove herself (I think!)
    not much seems to faze her and she does it flair
    usually takes some degree of self-confidence to do so
    which is unusual for a Japanese girl her age

    I am not much for "fisher" types but I really like her confidence (which is backed by skill - as evidenced by her singing as well as err.. fishing abilities :hehe:)
    One to oshi now if not in the near future

    Well, she seems to be on good terms with Miichan and they are both in the same team, Miichan has of course experience in coaching/supporting the up and coming talents with Team 4 and while she's no longer Team K captain that might just give her the opportunity to nurture future talents in the group/team.
    (I'd like to think that might be Miichan's biggest contribution to AKB, as I think she performed best as Senpai to the wild bunch that was Minegishi Team 4)
