Hopes, Fears and Predictions for AKB48 2013?

I hope to be able to dl AKB48 songs, concerts, pics, LOD, from the playstation store. Or purchase concert videos (tokyo dome, kohaku) on a vita game card.

I guess the alternative is to copy the dvd and upload it to content manager. [think]

SDN48 with a lineup of 2-6gen members plus recent grads would be effn awesome and will rival sister groups. Is this wise? Who cares??? [party] (Aki-P sure dosen't)

I think it would be cool if a Chinese and Indonesian member was introduced to AKB48 or a sister group. Then it would be a true member exchange program.

 

Adding to my prediction list:

*SKE48 team shuffle after election
*Mass graduation in AKB of 2nd-6th gen members
*SDN48 is revived with a line up consisting of recently graduated/transferred members from AKB/SKE and new members

*Okada Nana, Omori Miyuu, and Kojima Mako are promoted.
*Yuihan is the next soloist to debut (actually this is more of a hope but I still feel like it could happen)

Appoximately 2-6 months after her graduation. Can't wait. Tomo Bride.

 

I think SKE's shuffling will take (if it does) at the Budokan concert. The 9 girls will have left by then, and it's a big venue... big announcements are coming down for sure.

Probably all of the groups will announce something during those concerts. Graduations, new singles, albums...

 

I totally agree - the announcements this year are going to be huge, simply because we've had so much change all ready, that management needs t react for one, and also because they like trolling and being annoying lol

But its sure to be a very interesting year!

 

I agree. I think this year is what will make or break AKB48 and sister groups. Hoping for the best! They've so far proven to NOT be another Momusu, so I'm sure they'll pull it off again. Akimoto is a very smart guy. He'll find a way.

I fear AKB will flop completely. But doubt this.

I hope that though it's been a rough year so far, it somehow surprises us all by opening an unexpected and new chapter better than the last.

 

Prediction list:
Another 2nd gen member will follow Sayaka
AKB's sales will continue to decline after the general elections
SKE/NMB team shuffling
Someone from HKT will also hold a concurrent position in AKB

Hopes:
Akicha breaks into senbatsu again and Rena breaks into kami7
New AKB48 drama

Fears:
Scandals, scandals and more scandals which will result to graduations

 

I HOPE i'm wrong ... but i can't see a good year for AKB48 :/
I'm sorry for something ...

 

Ah, the year is one-third over. Let's see how far we've gotten.
