[GENERAL] The Sakamichi Series group thread

yes, bunshun usually have reported so many rumors out of nowhere but im prettty sure you should know that there are many big scandals that have been proven and they started and reported by bunshun too. although i dont think this keya rumor gonna spark any public interest unless miracle will happen. this gonna be buried in time.

 

Bunshun is sensationalist crap from the street. Lowest of the lowest. Take their stuff with mountains of salt.

 

I know some of their stories are true but it's only when it comes to 'breaking the dating rules' scandals. None of all that they said abt keyaki has been proven true. The last one was about Suzumoto graduating and that she was going to study in Malta. Suzumoto graduating was already on fans mind so it wasn't a surprise they made that assumption but studying abroad? In her blog she never mentioned studying abroad was the reason. Alas! Bunshun lied. So all those articles are made to create hatred towards this group and I am afraid ppl are buying into it.

 

Unfortunately, there are many impatient jp fans who believes this story after what Keyaki has went through without a single release for a whole year and they think graduations so sudden adds things up. It's Bunshun you have the freedom to believe it or not. However, 5ch is not credible so fans think kenshusei rumor is BS. Bunshun has not even picked up that rumor or investigate in it because it's total bogus.

^ Not much time to speculate (~27 hours until the announcement), so any guesses? Members are going to be sent to the three groups that we have right now (Nogizaka46, Hinatazaka46, and maybe most importantly, Keyakizaka46 after the Techi withdrawal)? Or the formation of a fourth female Sakamichi group, which could be rumored to be Sakurazaka46?

 

The news says 'group assignment' and I read somewhere that the captain of each Sakamichi group will be there so they are probably being sorted to the 3 Sakamichi groups.

 

Basically a Sakamichi Draft
Hoping Manatsu picks Moriya Rena or Sato Rika For Nogi
And Kumi picks Ozono Rei and Kosaka Marino for Hinata
The remaining ones should be picked by Sugai haha

 

just looked each of them and there three that caught me in the first impression.
Yumiki Nao - definitely an "ok girl, you are hired in this agency" type of. So polished look.
Moriya rena - also name that often been mentioned here(?). Warm smile that somehow remind me with reika. Yeah boys, a must hire.
Kuromi haruka - another reika vibe. striking one. Guess there something wrong with me.

 

If it's gonna be "D-day", fingers crossed for Sato Rika and Hayashi Runa (team purple of course)
Don't know how the selection process will be, many going to one Sakamichi, few to the other, a whole new group. Just be done with it.
Whatever happens, good luck to these girls.

 

It's finally happening! Soon we can also get announcement of Keyaki's 9th single.

 

Hours left until it starts?

 

It's 8 pm JST tomorrow so I assume less than 22 hours left.

 

Although I still think it's far too soon for Nogizaka46 to have new members, I hope all the girls can enter the group of their liking.

 

My picks are Kosaka Marino for Keyaki and Sato Rika for Hinata. But I think Hinata will get the most members, and they will implement a senbatsu system from the next single.

 

Hinata senbatsu system is inevitable.
Hinata will probably get 6 girls from this KKS and 6 for keyaki as well

 

I wonder how this KKS draft will affect these three groups, hina is currently doing well, Nogi is in stable condition despite three of their memebes are graduating and two of it are 1st gen and lastly keya which in pinch right now..

 

So excited.

I honestly think majority will go to Hinata & Keyaki. Neither groups will ever reach Nogi sales and become million sellers unless they get more numbers. And there's nothing the company wants more than good ole $$$.

 

I know very little about the girls, and I hope they can go in the group they love, whatever that is.
I just would like to have dancers in Keya though. Our choreos riquire a lot of energy and with Mon, Shiichan and Techi out, experience would also help a lot.
Whatever happens tomorrow, good luck and have fun to the new members.

Since the announcement of the kenshuusei placement showroom I've been curious about the kenshuusei members. I was wondering how old they were and so I wanted to put all of the Sakamichi members in an ordered list by birth date. Some interesting things I didn't realize:
Yoshida Ayano Christie is one of the top 10 oldest members. Each of the three sister groups has one of the three youngest members. Tons of 97s, 98s, 99s, and 01s, which isn't surprising but what is surprising is the number of 00s. Only 5, including a kenshuusei member. Also, Tenchan is younger than the next youngest Keyaki member (Takeyui) by 3.5 years. Must be lonely. Hopefully some of the younger Kenshuusei members like Yamaguchi Haruyo and Morimoyo Mari will go to Keyaki. Might be a good idea also since, not counting Nogi 1st gen, the average age of Keyaki is actually more than a year older than Nogi (20.69 vs. 19.5). When a major theme of your group is youth rebellion and young people standing up to adults, its probably not a good look when the average age of your group is higher than the age of adulthood.
