    Well, here are my "predictions" for 2014. This is just for fun, don't take it too seriously. :p

    --HKT will release 2 singles

    --A new gen will join the group towards the end of the year

    --There will be a shuffle with the subsequent formation of 3 new teams, each one with a mix of 1st, 2nd and 3rd gens; Captains will be Natsu, Minazou and Rikopi.

    --Lovetan will graduate

    --At least one girl from the 3rd gen will leave the group

    --Tonkotsu Mahou Shoujo Gakuin and Odekake will be released on DVD

    --That guy from Kore Kara will be attacked by a swarm of deadly bees

    --Aruaru YY Terebi wll come back from the dead (and someone will sub it)

    --Team H's new stage will be delayed again

    --Hilary will be a concurrent member on one of the new teams

    --Haruppi's concurrency will be canceled and Okapan will be a concurrent member on Team K

    --Murashige, Natsu and Tani will rank on the sousenkyo

    --People will still come to Stage48 to whine about Haruppi losing center

    ^ HARUPPI SHOULD BE CENTER D<!!!111oneleven
    ...
    ...
    X'D you asked for this DreamingPebbles, I'll be sure to post this once 2014 hits too.

    Hopes:
    I sure as hell hope Shige ranks... and gets to center a unit in the upcoming stage
    Shige gets to be second row again in Senbtasu
    Haruppi keeps her concurrency

    prediction:
    she won't get to center a unit in upcoming stage
    Meru remains center
    Haruppi's concurrency will be cancelled even though it's quite successfull
    Sombeody else will get a concurrency (Mio?)

    fear:
    shige won't rank Q_Q;
    Haruppi won't be Team H center in upcoming stage, Sakura will

    Hopes

    - Team H get their original stage, with all new original songs
    - Lovetan and Sasshi won't both center a unit in team H original stage
    - HKT girls will have to participate less in AKB handshake events, giving them more time to concentrate on HKT things and more time to practice.
    - HKT releases 3 singles
    - Not all their a-sides will be annoying kiddy songs
    - HKT A- sides will be better than Suki Skip and Melon Juice
    - No shuffles or some random AKB girl getting a kennin position
    - HKT senbatsu and positions will make sense
    - They won't kick Chiichan out of senbatsu
    - 3rd gen gets the same amount of promotion as 2nd gen.
    - KIV will be created
    - The words "Haruppi" and "struggle" won't be used in one sentence anymore.
    - Odekake ends and gets replaced with a much better show


    Fears and Predictions

    The exact opposite of what I hoped for happens, like in 2013!! :fp:

    Hopes

    - That the group will take a more mature direction and hopefully the selection of Yamamoto Mao was the first sign of that.

    - That we will get a "cool" single centered by a first gen.

    - That they will start releasing 3-4 singles a year instead of just 2.

    - That Yamamoto Mao will be a senbsatsu member for a single next year.

    - That they get at least one more regular show (non local).

    - That Sakura will break into AKB48 senbatsu and more HKT girls will rank in the next election.

    - That Sasshi wins the election again.

    Fears

    - That the management will continue to focus on HKT's loli image. If that's the case then I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see several graduations next year. The 1st gen aren't exactly getting younger.

    - That the group has stagnated. If you look at the sales of the first and second singles it's about the same.

    I'm skipping the predictions section since it's not really my thing.

    Annya rank at Sousenkyo
    Team H Original Stage
    18nin Senbatsu
    Gui Gui Senbatsu to be formed with Annya as Center

    Prediction
    More HKT girls will rank in Sousenkyo
    Someone graduating
    An AKB member will have a concurrent position in HKT

    Fear
    Mass Graduation
    Less 1st gen member in Senbatsu

    Let's try some fun :)

    HOPES:
    Team KIV formed in the January stint of the tour
    Team H original stage starts in the spring
    Riinu centers a song in the Original Stage
    Riinu centers a unit in the upcoming tour
    Riinu stays in the senbatsu for the next singles
    Daijobu senbatsu have a special song on the next single
    Sakura breaks into Senbatsu at the sousenkyo
    Haruppi will be UG center at the sousenkyo
    Natsu/Aoi will rank at the sousenkyo
    Soko de Nani wo Kangaeru ka will rank high on RH (top 50?)
    Harutan will be the ACE of the KKS (and of Team T) after meru will be in KIV


    PREDICTION:
    Team KIV formed in the January stint of the tour
    Team H original stage starts after the summer
    HKT will release 3 singles
    Meru stays center
    Riinu out of the 3rd single
    A new tv show will start (hopefully Ebi Friday night style with no Sasshi as MC)
    Haruppi will pass Sakura at sousenkyo
    Sasshi will be #1 again
    Sasshi will almost never appear at HKT theater for the whole year
    Maichan get officially promoted to Team H
    Nako and Miku will be in the 3rd single senbatsu


    FEARS:
    The mysterious drafted girl get promoted to team H and stole a senbatsu spot
    Some random low ranked AKB girl get kennin, show up once a month at theater and stole a senbatsu spot
    Riinu out of senbatsu for good
    Aoi lose her position in senbatsu
    Sakura lose positions in sousenkyo
    Some super painful graduation (Chiyori?)
    Naopon will change her catchphrase
    Nako will remain center and a new rioting starts @S48 between Meru-Haruppi-Nako fans about the center

    Hopes
    - Sasshi wins the Sousenkyo again
    - HKT members able to get into the Janken Senbatsu 2014
    - Sakura's Sousenkyo rank remains strong
    - another Kennin
    - more HKT girls rank in the sousenkyo'14 (it would be funny if Nako manages to rank on her first go ^^)
    - 3 singles/year for HKT like sister groups/N46
    - Naopon & Akiyoshi get back into Senbatsu; and Miku follows Nako as 3rd gen representative
    - Original stage with more genki, fierce, fastpaced songs rather than too much cutesy
    - Aoitan becomes an unit center
    - KIV announcement in the first half of 2014 with Iichan or Rikopi as captain
    - Management finds a balance between 1st/2nd/3rd gen which more or less please all fans to end this pointless generation 'war' among fans

    Fears
    - Management's choices of Senbatsu girls
    - More fishy/staged contests ( Lotte, Magic Gum)
    - Original stage gets postponed, contains few unit songs with a lot of members (I want more 2-3 membered songs)
    - DRAFT Girl isn't able to live up to the expectations
    - no KIV formation followed my frustrated KKS graduations

    Hopes
    • - Haruppi center DUH
      - Team H ori stage performed in first quarter of 2014
      - 3rd gen ginormous exposure/push
      - Sasshi would stop being considered the HKT representative for everything 48 senbatsu related
      - So they can finally grow Sakuruppi as the next WMatsui, SayaMilky without restrictions
      - As many singles as they can release, nothing cute or generic, something fierce
      - An HKT solo concert that's not part of an AKB tour
      - MioMeru switched to Uma/Ama Kuchi centers, replaced with Sakuruppi
      - Sakuruppi enter at least one AKB single that's not 100+ senbatsu
      - Sakuruppi in UG for the election
      - More HKT girls besides Kami7 (especially from 3rd gen) get recognition in the 48G
      - HKT gets to properly participate in all end of year festivals/events/countdown shows and major media promo
      - Nako makes it big
      - "The words "Haruppi" and "struggle" won't be used in one sentence anymore." so
      - Stage fans can coexist peacefully

    Fears
    • - None, there's always next year

    preach :)

    I think only when Sakura or Haruppi get popular enough to get the 2nd sister group position will people stop seeing Sasshi as sole representative. Just like Rena not getting into AKB senbatsu until much later than Jurina, along with Sayaka and Milky's situation. Either that or till Sasshi graduates or gets transferred back to AKB for whatever reason.

    That's one of my fears.

    Maybe I'm paranoid, but sometimes I wonder about this too. What if AKS decides that HKT isn't doing enough money and just closes down the group? It happened to SDN...

    Hope:
    First: Real Undergirl songs. Put whoever you want in senbatsu, but the common B-side must have 16 different, non-senbatsu girls. There's enough people in HKT to do this.

    Second: Different songs. Hatsukoi Butterfly, Suki Suki Skip, Melon Juice, Wink wa Sankai... Do you know what these songs have in common? EVERYTHING. Some variety would be nice.
