Event / Concert The 3rd AKB48Group Draft Kaigi (18/01/21)

I always thought that they would make a rotation for the 8 kennins. Recently, team stages are performed less frequently (maybe like 3 or 4 times) too. I can understand 2 or 3 girls but K went out with 5.

Oh wow, only 13 left (out of 68)? I feel bad for them now.

 

NMB drafted in a total of 16 girls, more members than its 5th generation (N and BII 5, M 6)

 

Same (Kind of glad they aren't showing them, hate seeing that).

But hope they don't give up and try again for either these groups, or another group out there.

 

Most fans in the SR comments agreed on at least 3 girls and after 24 was picked it was a bit like... should we really go again? And then people persuaded others to keep going lol

 

Blame HKT and SKE

STU maxed out for 5 girls too.

 

This. Wtf HKT could use more members.

Miharu has now been through two drafts and not been picked twice, and I hear she's been through almost 10? auditions on top of that. She's the only one I'm disappointed didn't get picked.

 

I'm worried about the fact that it's K too. You know damn well, Aki-P is gonna murder these girls with dance routine for the new stage (if it's not revival). Are those 5 good performers?

 

Here's all the girls for all teams

 

I guess for the 13 that didn't get picked, quite a few of the girls who didn't pass the last draft passed other auditions to one of the groups later. They could keep trying (Though if I were Miharu I'd probably give up)

 

I’m happy that we got so many girls, but really, the last 13 could have been used somewhere.

I hope Sasshi keeps her word and gets that Meru oshi to =LOVE.

Now, if only they gave the draftees a song in the next single just like the KKS get songs...

 

I’m so glad Osawa Ai got drafted to team m. The whole draft she stayed positive and kept waving to the camera until she was called near the end. I didn’t have any favorites going in, but her attitude stuck out to me.

 

Yeah, I know :/ I think it's because they know they're currently the least favourite Team in AKB48 and even second least favourite among JPN48 teams, and they wanted to get a few new good ones. #45 has K as her oshi team, so it would be a shame if she hadn't got in.

 

I blame SKE too. At first people in S showroom sort of agreed on 3 at least and then when it went to the actual vote they stopped at 2. I was totally wtf. And the vote difference was 1%.

 

Ange Reve could use these girls. They have been adding and losing members release after release since they left.

 

16 new girls for NMB. It's like a whole new generation.

 

=LOVE is already large on its own.

 

And well, at the very end my personal 1st choice was picked. I am sad for HKT48, since many girls wanted to get in but the fans decided to stop drafting.
Overall, mixed feelings.

 

Still.
The more the merrier!

All the groups needed new girls EXCEPT for SKE.
They still have 13 KKS waiting to be promoted, while the other groups have promoted theirs and the numbers are still low.

 

Looks like the people will get to pick where the 10th Annual SSK will be this year. Two Words,

TOKYO DOME!

 

AKB missed on Watanabe Akari? I hope she become so good in HKT that she can replace Han* to represent her group in AKB senbatsu

What is that VTR talks about? cancelled SSK replacement?

EDIT:

Well, they ask for it! Let me know when the details to vote comes.
