    can't lie... i normally forget them after a while.. well, for Sakamichi i do... their's just too many likable women in the group.. i'ts hard to stay attached to just one for me...

    with 48 group though, it's a lot harder to forget them.. i tend to not mesh well with most the members, their p(personalities are a bit too extreme for me...so when the ones i like graduate, it gets difficult to find someone to root for

    If Karin-chan is any indication, you never really graduate from Sayuringo Gundan. I expect to see her show up in their SHOWROOM specials. But if they are recruiting... I think Yakubo Mio-chan is perfect.

    I know it's tough to all KTK-oshi but graduating could be the better path for her to take. I don't see 'her turn' or her breakthrough coming in Nogizaka. She's not high on my top favorite list but I like Kotoko more than some of the more prominent members. I would have loved to see her center UG or a surprise Senbatsu call for her. If Iori made it once, why can't she, right? Well, same question for most 2nd gen. With 3rd & 4th gen it became much harder.

    I just recently knew of her radio show so that's a good thing. Hope she can further explore and more opportunity opens up for her.

    As to who would go next. Like KTK, few are still young. Asuka, Hoshino, Chima, Wada. But they are 9 years already in Nogizaka. Junna & Rena's situation is not far from Kotoko. Except maybe for the younger top Senbatsu members like Asuka & Hori, anyone from 1st and 2nd gen I think could announce graduation at any time now. Ikuchan getting more and more busy is something I give a close watch, I mean who knows. I understand if it happens but that woundn't make the impact any less. That's just the way it is.

    I think Junna's and Rena's situation is far from Kotoko's. The only similarity between them is because they never enter senbatsu. Junna regularly starring 2-3 stage play a year, which is imo, for membef with her popularity is quite good. While Rena hold 2 tv show with her name on it, regulary appear on that quiz show, and also have a radio show. So, despite never become senbatsu member she's pretty busy atm. I think the only member that have same situation with Kotoko is YAC.

    Yeah that's what I meant with the possibility of announcing graduation. They can just move on and focus with their outside gigs.

    It could be. But i think they will have a bigger chance if stayed in the group for a while.

    Sad to see my Nogi oshi graduate.. I saw a picture of her before I even got into Nogi and thought, who is this beautiful actress, and only later found out she was an idol. She doesn't have that 'idol' personality, but that made her even more relatable and likeable to me.

    Such a shame that she never hit it big in Nogi, but I really want her to pursue a career as an actress. Such a waste if she decides to leave the entertainment world - her innocent, pure aura is a rare find.

    Guess that's why she wasn't there during Senbatsu announcement. I wonder if she's even part of the single. With her coming graduation, I hope she'll get the respite she needs and recover well. I just wish her all the best in whatever she does in the future.

    So the day really comes. Kotoko graduating :(((

    Seems like she'll be part of N46 though. Hopefully she'll get more jobs from now on. Recently I have been watching Love Live. Then I am imagining what if Kotoko becomes a seiyuu? Her voice is nice, she can be expressive when it's about anime, and not to mention those visual can really bring her to places. Nowadays seiyuu is almost equal to idols, so I am just hoping one day we can see more of her again, again and again

    Just trying to keep this thread alive. She got nice behind the scene photos in her IG. She posts quite regularly too. Really happy she tried opening IG. Even Karin said "Can Kotoko do Instagram? Let's watch her warmly"

    ps now that she's graduated my excitement for Nogi is much more lower. The piles of works I need to do because of the pandemics don't help either

    Happy 22nd birthday Kotoko! :ome:

    OT to Kotoko: Yeah, that's right, Stage48 has been having some occasional hiccups over the past couple of days or so.
