Graduation announcements thread

Tbh she was my best bet for first keyakichan to graduate, she always seemed to be very serious about her studies and I'm assuming that's the ultimate reason she decided to leave. Best wishes for her.

 

Tomochin has since then been graduated, but almost five years after this post, and Miichan - the remaining original (1st generation) member of AKB48 - still hasn't announced graduation yet...what's with the holdout? (Then again, she was part of AKB48 since she was only 13 years old...)

That's two members Keyakizaka46 are about to lose after Zuumin, and that's the second Sakamichi graduation announcement in about 50 hours (after Nanase from Nogi, which was a really big matter)...

 

Nah bruv, that's not really how it went down. 2013 was the first year where members had to submit their entry to the SSK themselves rather than just automatically being in it and things weren't really worked out like they are today where you can have members not enter and it isn't automatically a grad flag. Back then, coming up to the deadline anyone who hadn't already entered and was an older member had grad rumours. Sayaka was one of those and as there wasn't a Team K show in the short time coming up to deadline she announced via blog, she was rather bounced into doing it that way.

And yeah, it was anti-climactic. I think all of us who've watched 48 group for a long time could practically recite the start of a grad speech, with it's attendant moment of anticipation and dread when they step forward and start to say "Watashi wa...." etc with all it's attendant pauses and dramatic silences

But that's not really the case. Sakamichi come off mostly as upper class girls whereas AKB (especially in the early days) come off as mostly from working class/middle class families. Nogizaka members are like the girls from a fee-paying boarding school whereas AKB girls are the type of girls from the public school you actually went to or girls working in the conbini on your street.

 

if nogi has theatre, they would make the announcement there as well..or maybe not because they are classy and didnt like to spoil live events mood with disappointment news.

 

so many BUTThurts.i wanna reply to raveen because he seems like to use sarcasm although i think he really meant what he said but nevermind. never cross in my mind that a grad announcement in blog will make such a huge deal..lmao

 

didnt you see my dislike? there are 5. i dont know how you english speakers interpreted my words, but i wrote normal things. and i want to reply to raveen.
did you read his comment or not??

 

You've seen the like/dislike ratio on my last few posts on this thread right? If you venture an opinion that isn't complimentary then be prepared for people not to like it. Goes with the territory.

 

its only a matter of presentation guys, no need to bicker about something so trivial

 

Mods? Mods? Where y’all at?

 

Isn't Nogi exist because of AKB?
So more "classy" right?

 

Every single thing that happens in an idol group is carefully calculated by a panel of executives who are filtering every action through a lens that looks like this: $
(except for when girls go rogue on Showroom which hasn't been screened by management for content lol)
No one should kid themselves that any action an idol group takes is "natural" or "unnatural" - it's all calculated. Image is also a calculation.

I think I've said this before, but since AKB and Sakamichi are in direct competition with each other, it wouldn't benefit either side to be an exact copy of the other, so over time their images have been growing further and further apart to appeal to different fanbases. The effect of this divergence can be pretty clearly seen even on this forum. Nogi is gonna do what their image dictates, and AKB will do what its image dictates, and that they may be different shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

 

raveen's comment is sarcasm dude..or not. same with my comment after that.. maybe you just overreact to my reply because you didnt really understand his 'jokes'..maybe we should stop here too..
