Single Nogizaka46 24th [Yoakemade Tsuyogaranakutemoii] (2019/09/04)

I think Momoko will sub Reika after Grad.
Her extended rest is definitely the reason.
Putting her in under with less busy sched would help her

 

Miona experienced the same and imagine at that time she's alone, but slowly crawled back to front row. I believe Momoko and Sayu will get W-Center for unders (If their health condition wouldn't disrupt), but also there are many that can replace them.

 

This is actually the truth. 3rd gen original front row is Zukki-Momo-Kubo. But you can't close your eyes on your money makers, right?

 

Well, let's admit that typical management/fans faves as centers/aces are pretty similar at least.

 

Yeah I agree but that case is a bit different.

Momoko started as center with Yodachan. But Yodachan from center position gained even more popularity and is now a stable ace of Nogizaka, while Momoko started being surpassed by other 3rd gen girls and now even got an undergirl position.

Miona's position has never been stable but she's always been 2nd gen top member.

 

Nope . Some fans want Zukki over Yoda

 

I'm still see Momoko as management fav while Yoda is fans fav.

 

Except for what I would call the "Maiyan-Miona" switch, the senbatsu is pretty much what I expected. All my favs (Minami, Yoda, Kubo, Umezawa) somehow managed to stay in, so it's fine by me. One of my top 3 4th gen got in (Ayame) so I can accept that too. What I will however applaud is the reduction of the members in the senbatsu. Because have they increased it again, we might've as well removed the whole senbatsu system as a whole, it was getting ridiculous. Though, I would have still wanted less fukujin as well if we were at it, but meh.

Also, lmao people complaining about a company being interested in making the most amount of money possible. That's like, you know, the definition of the word.

 

Agree with you, including nanase this 4 kind of have the same aura.. I can't really describe it but i always think that nanase, asuka, sakura and yoda kind of have similar image that suit nogi image really well. I can see sakura being nogi ace in the future.

 

Some, not most, and despite that, the one that got center position is Yodachan, just like Asukachan and now, Sakura.

A management fav demoted from "fukujin" position and now even from senbatsu despite being a popular strong HS seller and not another "Ikomachan" situation? Hmmm, I disagree.

To me it's like they're not trusting in her as much as they were doing at the beginning, which would hurt a lot. Especially cause to me she's not the girl who has a confident personality.

Mod edit:Merged double post.
Wait for a reply or 24 hrs before posting another one.

 

Failed is a pretty strong word imo
She 's one of 3rd gens Top seller
Her being in under is more of a health concern and rest more than anything

 

Need put Naachan on this. And yeah I saw something in line among these girls.

But each are still have notable difference.

 

This move by management is still fine. Time is catching up with 1st gen very fast. It's a fact we should accept. Perhaps we'll get another song from 4th gen with a new center. Clearly they're following the 3rd gen pattern. I also hope for a new UG center.
Momoko will be fine. She will be back next single.

Yup. Yoda still got the edge. Many still focus on Momoko and her push but we shouldn't forget Yoda was also center.

 

Although sakura kind of look like asuka but personality wise i think she more similar to nanase maybe because she didn't really particpate much in nogi show and till now she only show the shy, girl next door kind of image like naachan, the one that people want to protect type of girl.

 

Being chosen as initial ace from management cause you're the one they see as the most potential is different than being a management's fave.

Ikoma-chan has always been blatantly a management's fave, Nanase, Asuka-chan too (they're fans faves too).

Momoko is not one of the members I would consider management's top favourites. I'm pretty sure rn they prefer Yodachan over her.

 

I agree .
-Ikoma have never been a great HS seller despite 5 consecutive centre position
- Momo is different ; She started as a good HS seller to a great HS seller
That growth in sales is something Ikoma never have.
But if we're doing hypothethicals ; If momo is healthy ; Kii would be the one sent to unders.
- possible sub for Reika would be Momo or Ranze after Grad.

 

so many new gen girls dropped but maichun is still there lol

 

Fuck me sideways my girls are all in the backrow now. Truly Heavy Rotation stuff: perma senbatsu ousted, Maiyan 2nd row, Ikuta awkward 2nd row.

Management really knows how to stir shit up. Who are these unknowns standing in front? Is Momoko sick, and if she isn't, is she crying? Is Sayunyan sick, and if she isn't , is she graduating? Is this their way to break the "stalled popularity growth" that AKB is facing now after reaching their peak? What's wrong with putting only two 4th gen instead of three, or maybe put some of them in the 2nd or back row? Will the legendary 10th gen in Nishino's solo MV have 11 members in the front row? Will the next single's name be "Sacrifice" or "Time To Say Goodbye"? What's the current salinity level in Nogizaka Building water system?

Things are interesting now. I hope this chaos - if it actually exists - keep going, 'cause it's the only way my Manattan will ever get a center lol. And it's hella fun.

Welp, at least one thing mgmt keep is one thing straight, their (kind of) promise to promote 2nd gens. No one got in, but no one dropped (even from their position, Hori's still front while everybody get pulled, excet Reika who's graudating), which is a plus in this situation. But the thing about 2nd gen is their other members, not Hori, because one can even say that Hori is not someone who got caught in the trainwreck of the 2nd gen.

 

Somehow I feel this senbatsu formation reminds me with earlier nogi era

Triple center with compotition one talented girl (ikuta -> kaki), one manajemen push (ikoma -> sakura), and one little girl (hoshino -> ayame)
