Event / Concert Kojimatsuri ~Kojima Haruna Thanksgiving Festival~ (17/02/21-22)

O wells, at least she get to perform in the other day

Edit: Looking at the members list again...it's pretty dope lol

 

It's interesting how Sashi Jurina Sayaka don't even make the top 15 does that mean their fans consist of less gamers or they just don't care?

We have seen NHK and love night/horror drama rankings vary from SSK rankings but this is the most different one yet.

 

this is akb only

 

ahh my bad. thanks for letting me know

 

Going ahead to predict a shuffle here. Okada Nana to Team A, she's going to be the next Acchan/Mayuyu/Paruru.

 

They already have Sakura for that.

 

Oh have they already rewritten Sakura's personal history such that she's listed as being recruited to AKB48 right from the start of her idol career? Which AKB generation is she now a part of?

 

Well... Sakura is in team A with her kennin membership? That and Kimi wa Melody's MV was all about saying Sakura is management's idea of the next Acchan

 

No one is talking about kennins tho?

 

Man you really do have to fight about everything, don't you? Why get so worked up?

It's facts that Sakura is in Team A, has one of the biggest pushes at the moment, got the center in several singles recently, always has a good position, is the star of a few AKB dramas and so on. She's basically the star child of the AKB group right now. While Mion (the supposed next center for AKB) has a pretty good push too, it still doesn't compare to Sakura's.

Believe me, I'd love if Naachan was given an even bigger push, but I'm not sure I can see it happening. Especially not with both Sakura and Mion standing in her way. Sakura is perfectly lined up to take over for Paru (she already has if you want to draw the parallels with Majisuka).

 

Who's fighting over here? I just think AKS would want to avoid the situation where the face of the group suddenly decide that she want to have nothing to do with the group any more the way a former face of Team K suddenly pulled out from AKB to focus on herself.

 

Sayanee? Jurina? Funny, both are still PROMINENTLY featured in AKB media.

Also, their reasons were to focus on their respective groups, NMB for the former, SKE for the latter. The fact you tried to make it appear as a selfish reason speaks volumes......

 

Well, management don't seem too bothered, Sakura is the center of team A at the moment...

 

AKB48 is the flagship group and sister group members are constantly featured in AKB singles so I don’t see what’s so funny about ex-kennin members being featured in AKB media. They are afterall promoting their own group while they are at it. It is the extra burden of being an AKB member like appearing in AKB only concerts that they want out. So yes management should be worried if Sakura suddenly decides that she wants to be HKT only (at this point a move that would only benefit her career). Anyway according to the latest group photo, Sakura isn't even the center... It's Yui.

And where did I say that they are being selfish? Anyway I was only thinking about Jurina and I said focus on herself (instead of SKE) cause it’s not like SKE is doing anything at all nowadays, it is practically nothing but a Jurina vehicle at this point.

 

When you said she left to focus on her self, when she (Jurina and Sayanee both) made multiple staements they did it in support of their groups.

Also SKE spinning their wheels is the fault of group's management. It is not her fault they force everything on her. Just like it is not Sakura's fault for the opportunities she is presented with and ultimately takes advantage of.

It was an expression. Sorry if it went over your head. It was not literally funny.

 

Did you forget about Paruru's graduation already? there's always that risk when you invest into a girl.

Also, Sayaka and Jurina were more like placeholders until Mion emerged and they were still marketed as their respective group's ace.

 

There's always a risk but some things are less risky? Sakura is more likely to declare allegiance to HKT only then Naachan graduating? This is becoming the annoying age old argument about whether kennins are considered full members. Sorry mods, wasn't expecting this.

 

Actually, I don't know the current situation on it, though I know Naachan was having some health issues around the last election. If her health worsens she'll most likely have to graduate AKB48 for her own well being, so from that logic she's also a bit of a risk herself

 

Depends what you're talking about. Yuihan is the center of A7th, and thus also M.T. ni Sasagu, but both Yasashii Place and Set me free were SakuParu WCenters, with Sakura being solo center in the dance segments. But I don't think what people really care about is who the actual center in group songs is. They mean the face of the team, the ace, the most promoted member. The most credible home-grown ace candidate in Team A right now is Megu, and she's still not being pushed very strongly. Hiwatan also has a chance but .... eh. Yukarun, Kayoyon, and Annin don't fit the part, and everyone else is right out.

As for importing a center from another team, Naachan doesn't fit Team A's image. Yuiri does, but I'd rather those two not be separated.
