why do you want Mio's kennin to be over? Just curious

 

I think it's enough with only one thread for the whole 48G. I quickly saw that many posts took up the issues in all sister groups at the same time. My post was placed in a random thread because of that.

 

so you don't think I should make an "Anai Chihiro hopes, fears and predictions for 2015" thread?

I don't have any interest in reading about hopes fears and predictions for the other groups and I bet there are a lot of people who don't care about hkt predictions either.

 

Hopes:
- HKT48 gets a Team T or Team TII
- 3 singles a year instead of 2
- Sakura centers an HKT48 Single
- A kennin from NMB48

- Anai Chihiro graduates

Predictions:
- HKT48 4th Generation

 

Hopes:

- More than 2 singles a year
- Original stage for at least Team H
- Boss gets to be senbatsu, at least once
- Boss and Akiyoshi get a subunit or something, they work so well together
- The rise of Aramaki Misaki

Fears:
- The first "big" graduation(s) will happen
- New ridiculous kennin something like "Watanabe Mayu, HKT48 Team KIV kennin"
- Sasshi doesn't win sousenkyo

Predictions:
- HKT will get an "edgier" kind of Aside. I wouldn't say "dark" or "cool" as y'all like to say, but something à la Kataomoi Finally.
- Sakura will rock Sousenkyo and keep rising
- Debut album
- Captain will keep getting more beautiful and sexy everyday
