    With 2018 coming to a close. It's time to do the yearly tradition for Stage48 (which I also put for other groups as well for stuff that you want to only happen with that group).

    So what are your Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for 2019 for Nogizaka46?

    If I am to be honest :

    Hopes :

    - Minami stays in fukujin all-year round
    - Matsumura and Yamashita out of fukujin
    - no Maiyan, Ikuta or Minami graduation
    - Yakubo Mio gets in senbatsu
    - no pushed 4th generation center - I would rather prefer 3-4 4th generation members in senbatsu
    - Yuuki center

    Fears :

    - Minami out of senbatsu
    - pushed 4th generation center with no other member making senbatsu
    - the above-mentioned graduations

    Predictions :

    - Minami stays in senbatsu but falls to third row
    - pushed 4th generation center with no other member making senbatsu

    4th gen song around summer single
    kubo fukujin or at least back to senbatsu even 3rd row / center preferably 3rd single
    stop the 3rd gen senbatsu push and only keep the top 5-6 members in
    forget center, just give me another Ikuchan solo
    go back inside the studio for next nogibingo (4th gen bingo if possible)
    if not, i want 1st gen vs 2nd gen vs 3rd gen vs 4th gen battle

    Fears:
    ikuchan the next big name to graduate

    Prediction:
    asuka solo or w-center
    maiyan graduation
    more graduation, at least 8

    5th album, all 4 generation to have a song
    if we know management too well, they will airdrop a 4th gen/s whether senbatsu, fukujin or center
