With 2018 coming to a close. It's time to do the yearly tradition for Stage48 (which I also put for other groups as well for stuff that you want to only happen with that group). So what are your Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for 2019 for STU48? Last 2 years 2018 - 2017
Hopes - They give Cuca a youtube channel so she can make covers again. - Cuca in senbatsu (or undergirls centre) - No grads - More STU girls make it in SSK and Takino and Ishida rise in ranks - Or a Janken win - More attention given to units Fears - Any grad - only one single in the year - more delays for the boat Predictions - 2 singles this year - 1 or 2 grads - Team formed by end of the year (maybe 2, since they have enough members)
Hopes: Boat !!!! Team SII, Team TIII, maybe Team U Nice sales for 2nd single More girls ranking in SSK CUCA's Youtube channel SetoBingo season 2 Fears: The delay curse catches the 3rd single The boat launch is delayed again Predictions: 2 singles A few graduations Boat !!! + 2 Teams
Hopes : Naachan or Honotan or Miyumiyu win that singing contest thing STU gain more fan Good MV and good song for the 2nd single Big concert Fears : Less variety show Predictions : New variety shows Team SII and TII formed Boat delayed until late 2019 or maybe 2020
Hopes: SETOBingo season 2 STU gains more fan STU gets more television appearance 2 singles (no more delays) 1 or more concert Boat!!! Yumirin and Chiho ranks up, more STU members rank in Management keeps pushing Isogai Kanon/putting her in the front line/good position No graduation More jobs for the units Teams!!! Fears: Any graduation Management drops Isogai Kanon More delays More natural disasters Chiho drops in rank, Yumirin is the only ranked member Sales for the next singles aren't good Predictions: More jobs for the units STU keeps getting more regional works More people start to recognize and appreciate STU
Hopes: -Ishida Chiho A-side center and makes a big jump in ssk ranks - Cuca senbatsu and revival of her youtube channel
Predictions: Yumirin center of every STU48 single of this year, at least one member graduating due "studies". Another year without the ship. Another year without Team SIV. Fear: Yumirin center of every STU48 single of this year, at least one member graduating due "studies". Another year without the ship. Another year without Team SIV.
aren't they already have like 5 team or whatever they called it as thematic unit https://twitter.com/STU48_official_/status/1089136892954570752
Hopes: 2 Singles in one year The Boat Proper units or at least more concrete units instead of gimmick groups Kokoa gets a center (let me dream ) Fears Boat gets delayed again, or canceled in favor of a shoreside theater One-Single-A-Year Syndrome Kaze wo Matsu tanks Younger members graduating from the group The tourism board pulls its support or stops featuring them in advertising Predictions: Proper unit formation by mid-year The Boat by the end of the year More participation by members that haven't been in the spotlight too much as of now. Fingers crossed about the boat, honestly. Became kind of a meme but not having a theater is really handicapping them compared to the other 48 Groups and the extra punch such a unique one would give them could be a decisive advantage.
