Event / Concert AKB48 Group Unit Janken Taikai 2017 (17/09/24)

Announced on Photolog.
Members: Takahashi Mau, Kado Yuria and Nishimura Nanako
Unit name: Rupurenon
(Supposedly, it's French for "given name", and should be romanized as "Le prenom"...?)

Anyway, posting a full transcript of the Photolog entry before it gets archived:
"We are announcing our Janken tournament unit! KadoMauNanako here!
The unit name is 『Rupurenon』.
Rupurenon means "first name" in French, the three of us are a trio who frequently gets their kanji (of their names) read the wrong way. (laugh)
So we chose it with the intention of saying "Please remember our name".
Also, why the French?
Well, it appears Kado-chan likes France (laugh)
Let's give our best at the Janken tournament"

Anyone can list eligible members who still don't participate at any unit?

Otaki Yuria will be going Solo.

If Momoka wasn't graduating, Otaki Yuria and Momoka should've went as a duo LOL

Seems to me that besides Jiina, Juri, and Miyupon (to a certain extend) most of the other solo members are fairly less known so I wouldn't be surprised if they found no one

 

If *Nikoniko (Kubo Satone, Obata Yuna, Matsuoka Hana, Yamamoto Ayaka) Wins, then the tournament is confirmed RIGGED. That team just seems to be so convenient for a push.

Then again, they probably are just good friends since they have performed together. But we'll see.

 

^Is there such coincidences that they all happen to be their group's next gen pushes AND are from different groups AND good friends? Kubo Satone and Matsuoka Hana I might understand but Obata Yuna and Yamamoto Ayaka rarely ever before together (unless I'm missing something here)

 

Team8 going all in. I am not a big fan of this decision but the team spirit thing is kinda cool.

People will call it rigged if any popular/known team wins, so meh.
I am really curious about who sits out. Would be like a really big grad flag..

 

Well girls who are going solo are the ones who're most serious/desperate about this because they see a chance to promote themselves. On par with the ones going as generations/teams aka group pride. Not that other units aren't serious, they just give me more of a join-for-fun vibe.

That being said my thoughts on the new units:
- Sugawara and Rara: my 7D2 babies ~
- Kocchan: she's been working super hard on SNS and showroom and youtube so I hope she can finally get rewarded.
- AKB 16th gen and Team 8: This is bound to be an interesting battle.
-SKE 6th gen: With Yumechi and Rion's grad their sense of genmates is stronger than ever and I hope they can do something to leave a 6th gen legacy. The video on twitter said somethingn about a solo concert and I hope they can do it.
- Akarin and OgiYuka: Akarin always has a good eyes for draftees (she was on the team that drafted Sally back then) so great to see them together. Discounting Sakura-Sayanee-Yuihan unit and Sasshi-Yukirin-Miichan unit they actually are the next power team regarding SSK results.

Ehhh...I thought Kanon is with Aoi?

 

Sorry for any mistakes

 

Kato Minami, Yabuki Nako, Shiroma Miru will be a unit (Announced Via Katomina Showroom)

 

It's not Sakamoto Erina, It's Sakamoto Marin.. She going for duo with Atsume Ayaha.. The team name is 'Fluffy'

 

It says "work in progress" for a reason hmm, changed, anyway

 

This...this is so random but....

Two of my favorites...does even Miru and Nako pretty close?
Never seen them together except when they are Undergirls for last year.

 

Announced on Miharu's Showroom that Nishigata Marina and Nara Miharu will enter as a pair.
They are still discussing on what official name to choose, will report back if they settle on one by the end of the stream.
The unit name is Gachapiyo, quite predictably.
Further update:

Meanwhile, Mita Mao, Tanigawa Airi, Hayashi Momoka, Azuma Yuki, Koga Narumi will enter as 5-member unit nyamm (the name comes from the initials of the member names, by the way)
