Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012/13

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

^ Maybe she'd be in French Kiss instead of Asuka?

That would be horrible though .. because I like Asuka quite a lot.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

well, don't worry about it because the reason why Asuka is in FureKisu is because of Watanabe Pro xD So I think she would still be safe in a parallel universe where Yonechan would've been senbatsu in Iiwake. Maybe she would've been transfered to SDN?

This is way off topic, sorry.

But I have a prediction now: The single line ups will resemble GIVE ME FIVE! and selection 6 will become a permanent thing.

Another prediction: Takamina out of Kami7, Sashihara in. (I hope it's not Taka though, but Haruna has always been more popular...)

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

i like sashi but i like all the kami 7 except for yukirin and mayu but yeah...
about takamina getting out of kami 7 i dont think so...
coz i cant imagine takamina out of kami 7 (probably coz she my oshi but...)

takamina in the last three years of the lucky girl ranking got bottom three in a row
but this year takamina got first in akbingo lucky girl ranking out of 140 girls!

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

It would be a very sad day for me as a fan to see Takamina drop out of Kami7 She works so hard and loves the group so much giving her all to everything she does...

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

I would hate to see her drop too but it's not the end of the world for her. She will still be in everything I'm sure. Sasshi will probably rise though and the rest will stay the same.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Kind of hoping Nogizaka46 will invade during the 2012 Request Set List .. for some drama.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

I hope that Sashihara grows out her hair again. With short hair she looks like a person I used to hate and I can't be her fan anymore lol

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

^ But .. she looks soo cute with short hair.

Who's that person you used to hate btw?

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

It's a distant cousin of my father who used to work in my house as housekeeper. She was incredibly annoying and wouldn't shut up all day yapping and yapping and invading my personal space. Blergh.

I think longer hair also allows for more elaborate or cuter hairstyles that help her stand out more, but that might be just because I'm really appalled by her resemblance to this person and can't stand seeing her with short hair xD Ahhh the woes of being an idol fan...

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

I see ...

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

I definitely (especially in light of their most recent singles) see the group doing really, really well in the coming year. Even better than in 2011. My biggest fear is that some of my favorite girls that are now getting older, will graduate from the group before I have the opportunity to see them perform in person.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Hopes
Tomochin slays with her 3rd Single and ranks 3rd in Senbatsu this year
Yuko Oshima takes the throne from Maeda Boring Atsuko
I don't want Atsuko at Third Place too
Kojiharu out of Kami 7
Sayaka and Chiyuu back in Media Senbatsu
Yui out of Senbatsu
As much as I love NMB48, Senbatsu elections should be AKB48 only this year
New Stages after Elections
Kato Rena gets promoted into Team B
Oku Manami returned to AKB at the end of the year

Prediction
Same release pattern as usual (I actually think it's perfect the way it is now, you get a consistent flow of releases nicely spread throughout the year)
Slight Team Shuffling - Bring Oota Aika back to Team B!!!
SDN48 gets reformed with some AKB48 members while maintaining most of SDN48 Senbatsu
Mass graduation of the less popular girls
Disbandment of Team 4 - Not that I do not like the girls, I just do not like the Idea of a Team 4, it just seems like an excuse for the management to milk more money out from the fans. I want the Team 4 Girls to get shuffled into the other Teams.

Fears
None, with AKB48 it's all these excitement and surprises that makes it really fun being a fan of theirs. I'm prepared for everything they throw at us to be honest.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Just curious (I'm new to the site... and the AKB fandom in general) but why does everyone hate Sasshi so much?

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

^Probably because she's pushed a lot.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Oh, I see! I thought it might have been because she predicted AKB's popularity would go down after 2 years and she'd talked about planning her future and everything... I guess the pushing makes a lot more sense but still.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

I support this though I don't see that happening.

Unlikely.

Woah! Team 4 got some strong support here I wonder why they say about this.

You can talk to yic17 about that, he'll definitely give you an essay on this one.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Probably better to ask in the why do you hate my oshi thread. Though you can ask about why members feel this way about any member.

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

What are you guys talking about??? I didn't know there's anyone in the world who does not like Sasshi ...

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Hmm we are not going to seem team 4 disband, though I do agree that there are problems with it, for starters it being called a team when thier members are stil perfroming in other stages as unders and still not having a full compliment of members vey much seems stuck in 'no mans land' atm.....

 

Re: Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for AKB48 in 2012?

Biggest hope is that wish they could come to the states to hold handshake events or even concerts~
doesn't matter where in the u.s. please just come.
last time they were her was like in 2009..
