    I hope that too, and don't forget Haachan and Yonechan! They both have a really good voices. I'd really like to see Yonechan and/or Guusan in an AKB single this year.

    I'll cry if anymore people leave Team B! They are perfect how they are setup now (Narupee should come back ;_;).

    I just adore Acchan, but I have to agree that she doesn't need to be in the front of everything.

    Hopes:
    - B4 will be even BETTER than B3, as impossible as that seems
    - Team B gets more attention. There IS a third team in AKB48, people
    - AKB48 keeps prospering, even more so than 2008. Yes, Oogoe Diamond was their highest selling single, but I want them to take over the whole idol business as the top group, higher than Morning Musume
    - Kouhaku 2010!
    - AKS stops releasing stuff by themselves, and let King Records do it. I hate limited releases that force deputy service usage
    - No graduations by any of my top 10 members
    - SKE48/HKT48 don't mess with any AKB48 singles. Release your own
    - Even better sounding singles/songs, such that the world has never before such high musical quality
    - Cheaper products -__- DVDs for $200 are not cool. I want to support them, but reasonable price please
    - Aki-P drops the idol groups all over Japan idea. I thought that was completely stupid when I heard it. You'd over saturate the market for idols.
    - Ayarin DOESN'T get promoted. If she does, not to Team B
    - Single with handshaking event during the summer
    - Mayuyu gets more popular. Top 5 in Mixi!

    Fears:
    - Acchan graduating? Life would end :cry2:
    - The economic recession affects AKB48 in some way
    - Anything bad happening to Mayuyu
    - Most of this is covered in my hopes, in what I wrote that I don't want something to happen

    Predictions:
    - Jurina grows up, looks even better than now, the wota grow crazy over her
    - Acchan retains her #1 position
    - SKE48 gets their own stage after Party

    I've got a few minutes until my dinner has finished cooking so I guess I'll take a spin on this ride...

    Hopes

    - Mikachii's leg heals up and she stampedes onto the stage for B4 and blows everyone away
    - Unreleased stuff gets released
    - Team B (Mikipomu, Yonechan, Tanamin especially) get more love
    - Foreigner love- let us download LODs, sell us CDs & DVDs directly or via a foreign-friendly retailer
    - Tokyo real estate prices crash due to the global financial crisis and AKB48 can afford to move into a theatre that doesn't have two stupid pillars in the way :lol:

    Fears

    - Miichan graduates ('cause we'd lose Tatami :p)
    - B4 turns out craptacular
    - All the other doom & gloom other people mentioned that I don't want to in fear of it happening

    Predictions

    - Another girl will usurp Acchan's dominance of Team A
    - Team B won't get any love
    - We'll continue to get slugged with news of releases/graduations/recruitments at the very last minute
    - Tatami and/or HIROKI will do something hilariously embarrassing that will entertain us thoroughly

    Ooo, yeah. I don't really care for Kinjirareta Futari, but it'd be cool with Rie and Sasshi singing it, I think. And I like the idea for Team Kenkyuusei covering a Himawari stage since Team K/B and SKE48 already covered previous stages from regular teams.
