    A bit late here I know, sorry.

    Hopes

    That Keyakizaka46 just keep doing what they have been doing, musically. I'm in my 40s and I've never come across a pop group before where I like so much of what they do.

    Techi is touched by genius and is the heart of the group. I'm a big fan. But it would be interesting, and probably a good idea, to see Keyakizaka experiment with a new centre. My picks would be Naako, Mona, Suzumon, Zumiko or Neru.

    I wish Aki-P would stop starting new 48 sister groups. Also, scrap TPE48 and MUM48. And give JKT48, BNK48 and MNL48 more freedom to do their own thing, and find their own identity separate from AKB48. Being producer of even one group would give him more than enough to do wouldn't it? He's spreading himself thinner and thinner.

    I wish management will give the girls in Keyakizaka proper holidays. Like, five or six full weeks off every year where they have NO group-related commitments at all. They need to have some downtime.

    And I wish they would scrap or at least loosen the love ban. Maybe make it only apply to girls under 20. It's cruel, patronising and totally at odds with Keyakizaka's message of doing your own thing and living your own life. It really makes me angry!

    I hope Kanji Keyaki don't have a drama serial this year. Their dramas have not been their best selling point.

    I would like to see some photo-books with more than one member.
    Combis I would like to see are:
    Dani, Naako and Yone-san,
    Risa and Aoi,
    Zumiko and Pon
    Techi and Memi

    I would like to see a significant increase in Keyakizaka's foreign fanbase this year - at least +50% - and I would like to see management do more to show that they realise that that fanbase exists. Like, why can't I buy all of their songs on MP3 here in the UK? WHY?!!

    Finally, I hope that I will be able to improve my Japanese language skills this year. Although I say that every year . . .

    - I want Risa first row again hihi

    - Let Yuukanen parallel each other again.

    - Graduation, pls no
    - Member scandals
    - Pressured Techi
    - Hiatuses
    - Angsty songs, bc I need my girls to start smiling ahaha
