Umeta Ayano (Umetan) / 13th Generation

Bumping this thread to get more Umetan love.

She's only updating her G+ every couple of weeks at the moment, which I find slightly worrying... but her theater performances still look good and I'm still totally in love with her.

 

I noticed that in the Boko no Taiyou stages too, it's also evident when they wear the tight white school shirts at the start of the stage.

Now if only some gravure mags would be her some shoots she'd definitely grow in popularity

 

Umetan just announced her graduation at today's stage! https://twitter.com/s_egg/status/798131586843623424

 

DEVASTATED.
Oh my god no
Goddamnit.
I am literally just full of sad and negative emotions at this.

Ahhh no I really like Umetan. Just like Aigasa Moe I can't blame her though Will we see more 13th gens leaving now? She's been #2 in B's shows whenever Yuria is not around too.

 

One more member gen 13, so sad But no surprise, Umetan isn't popularity

 

I reckon we will see other 13th Gens announcing. If you look at who is regularly utilised and included from the gen, it's a wonder more of them haven't gotten sick of being skipped over and announced already.

She's a fantastic performer, great singer, she was absolutely lovely and stunning when I met her... but as usual that isn't enough.

 

It's already hinted since Uchiyama Natsuki announced graduation. Now all last row members of Seijun Philosophy have graduated.

To think she announced it at the same time as Kurokawa Hazuki...

EDIT: I realized that Haako will graduate first Umetan's last activity date is on March.

 

She's all of those things but selling handshakes is a central part of the job and for whatever reasons it just didn't happen for her. I think maybe because when she started she was shy and quiet she didn't get any initial push.

But she's blossomed and improved so much over the last couple of years, she's just so good, her singing voice is nice, her dancing is great and she's so damn pretty, it feels unfair that she just didn't get any kind of a break. Just one gravure job (or something) could have gotten her noticed, just look at the recent success of Yuttan of HKT but (it seems like) the theater girls of AKB just don't have anyone in management promoting them the way management of HKT does (if feels like even the theater girls there have a chance).

I feel kind of sick after hearing this news.

 

Such a waste. But it's better to leave instead of becoming too stagnant. AKB doesn't have more to offer her and they're not really interested in getting anything from her.

 

Such sad news again I like her just as much as I like Moechan and they're both so talented! It's a shame they never got anything.
The end of 2016 is getting sadder and sadder with these announcements! But I understand her just as much as Moe, if you never get a chance you get frustrated and don't want to waste even more time.

I just wish her all the best after graduation in whatever she chooses to do! Good luck Umetan!!

 

I reckon she is in third year of High School, just like Kurokawa, right?

Then she make a right decision. Congraduation!

 

well i wish her the best of luck in her future.

the 3rd row of Seijun Philosophy is over....

On another note, why did Aigasa's graduation get noticed by natalie.mu whereas Umetan's graduation did not?

 

But Haako's wasn't covered...

 

Umetan graduated yesterday. The 13th gens (including Moe) appeared, and Naachan, Mikichan, and Nozawa Rena all showed up and did backdancing for Idol Nante Yobanaide. The 13th gens performed Sakuranbo to Kodoku and everyone did Give Me Five.

And now today Ryoka has announced grad as well. 13th gens dropping like flies
