    Shocking. So first gen of AKB (Miichan), SKE (Jurina), and NMB (Mirurun) will end the same year.

    Sakura is not the last of 1st gen members from her team, while Miichan, Jurina, and Mirurun are.

    can't say i saw this coming. i really thought she'd stick around for at least a year or two more. wishing her the best in her future endeavors though!! and well now i'm even more worried for nmb, seeing as they just lost a rising star and an important first gen, and now they're losing their last first gen who's a big name.

    NMB really has had a rough couple of years for graduations, that said it'll be interesting to see where the group goes after Miru is gone - lots of newer girls with potential, and I'd personally like to see more of Nagisa. While we still have her.

    Regarding Shiroma Miru graduating I'd mentioned how she was someone who should start thinking of the future in a long worded rant in the thread about a possible SSK for 2020, noting how unless she was suddenly going to become some absolute center for NMB there was really nothing left for her to accomplish in the 48 groups outside of possibly being voted into Kami 7, Top 3 or Winner in a SSK (assuming they ever brought the event back) since she was already last of a founding generation and had gone as far as Media Senbatsu in one SSK.

    As she seems to want to stay in showbiz I wish her a lot of luck in her future activities whatever those might be and I hope she meets her personal goals. I admit to being surprised she's graduating when she is though. I thought for sure she'd be around the rest of the year announcing it sometime in Autumn and graduating next Spring. Now for the love of all that is good in this world NMB please stop announcing graduations for a while. Give us six months before the next one, I beg you!

    Jurina left SKE, Miru left NMB...now if Sakura (and Nako) also left HKT after IZONE contract ends for whatever reasons...that would be quite hard blow :^^;:

    If Yukirin graduated, AKB would be screwed imo

    Miichan indirectly said this is why she's waiting to have her graduation concert. In a column she wrote a while ago, she addressed the question "why haven't you graduated yet?" that she gets asked so much.

    She said she knows her gradcon will probably be the last opportunity for most original members to appear on an AKB stage (with the exception for Mayu, who will hopefully appear at Yukirin's gradcon too). For Miichan's gradcon, I expect the following members to at least make an appearance:

    Kojima Haruna, Takahashi Minami, Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi, Shinoda Mariko, (her 1st gen mates) Oshima Yuko, Miyazawa Sae, Akimoto Sayaka and maybe Umeda Ayaka (were with her in Team K after 2009), Sashihara Rino (Sasshi + Miichan + Yukirin have been the super seniors for the past few years so they seem really close), Kojima Mako and Nishino Miki (her Team 4 babies). I'm not so sure about Watanabe Mayu since she's left the entertainment industry and wasn't as close to Miichan as she was to Yukirin. I'd also love to see Ono Erena (they were also in Team K together) but she hasn't shown up for anything so I doubt it very much.

    Miichan basically said that she believes her graduation concert is the last opportunity for old gen AKB48 fans to come to a concert and see their old favourites, and hopefully find new gems among the current members.

    Yukirin doesn't seem to have any mind of graduation and recently said she might even like to be an idol in her 40s, so we're probably good on that front. It'll either drastically increase the chances of Mayu appearing (if that germaphobe rumour is true, in a few years she might be okay with going out when COVID has settled), or decrease them massively (because she won't have been out in entertainment for so long).

    I'm looking forward to AKB48 being able to hold big concerts again and Miichan's gradcon will surely mark the true end of an era.

    otoh, there are still lot's of clips of Miichan and Mayuyu clowning around together on YouTube, so there was a connection. (Miichan did get her much wanted kiss in the end ;) )
    (and Mayuyu was in Ogi Pro as well)
    but, yeah, chances of Mayuyu appearing are slim

    ow, I'd like the whole original Minegishi Team 4 with all the graduates, not just Miki-chan and Mako-chan, to perform Seijun Philosophy

    And the start of a new, even if it isn't as glorious as it once was

    BEJ48 has dismissed Wang YuLan and Liu YiFei with only a day's notice... their last day of work was the stage today.
