(NEWS) AKB48 Shuffle at AKB48 12th Anniversary

Well, each of the teams got some Kanto members, so I believe they plan on these to be in the theater more regularly, and the ones from more distant prefectures to just come in every now and then

 

I saw a lot of comments about new Team A say that priority are clear and are Mion and Yuiyui, but in fact Kururun is already a center, Manaka is already a center, Kurena, Kotone, Zunchan also, Rei and Erii are ace in progress and, for sure, I forgot some 8 member.
The idols who I listed here can center a group not just a Team and
with all this first quality members for me you can't really say in what direction the future wind can go.
TeamA stages will become the ultimate idol battle royale LOL

 

One thing for sure is when there is senbatsu work there won't be Team A stages...
Like half the fucking team is going to be in it.

 

Team A says hi.
Beside Okabe and Oguri all other eitos need at least 4 hours of Shinkansen/Train ride, or have to fly to Tokyo.

 

The ones living in Tokyo to attend uni are Gyoten Yurina (kennin 4), and Hirose Natsuki (graduating). All the others still live in their respective hometown (which is not necessarily the prefecture capital).

@Rurouni 's post already wrap it up perfectly. So expect the Theater godess to still perform in nearly all stage, and Kanto eitos plus several older non-kanto ones who have some free time becoming under in other team performance. Especially for team A.

So team A still need to recruit more girls at D3. The other teams maybe just need 1 or 2. I think A may recruit up to 4. I wonder if one of it is Yahagi.

After D3 and seeing potential graduation, I think the management will decide how urgent to have gen 17 audition. And how big it will be.

 

wow Team A gather all super star and super rookie on their team, hope this will ended well
all those ego, Okabe really have very difficult job to united them..especially for the center, having 2 center never good for the team

 

I agree with you there. Komi suits team A. I think Moekyun and Zukki should of been put in Team K being the energetic performers/great dancers that they are.

 

I have a feeling that this is the beginning of them phasing out Team 8. They'll still be a thing, for now, but I bet they start gradually becoming less and less active as Team 8, stop replacing graduated members, until they announce that they've been dissolved.

 

hope not like Paruru x Sakura rivalry because that's really an issue when they together in team A
both of them always labeled as next ace/center from their group/team, not being center in the new team..feels wrong

 

Forgot to address this, but I don't think so. Even when they need to do bigger effort to gather eitos, the total number of T8 performances still greater than the A/K/B stage. Only Team 4 and KKS stage can match/over them in number (CMIIW), the rest is special stage.

 

Pay a visit to Team 8's thread and read the last six pages. That's all I have to say.

 

After I was comparing:

Team A = Manchester United
Mion = Lukaku
Yuiyui = Rashford

United's match tonight against archrival from same City Manchester Derby:

United lost 1-2,

Lukaku: missing passes caused 2 City's goals.
Rashford: scored a goal but United still lost the match.

Is it an omen?

 

I read the first six pages and Team 8 has actually already been dissolved in 2014

 

I think most people are talking about Mion and Yuiyui being the priority now (not the near or distant future) and about singles moreso than stages. I don't think the other members you mentioned are senbatsu candidates for singles much less center candidates but I'll defer to you that they're promising even though I don't know who they are. The stages might also not be as much as a battleground since many in the new roster will likely be absent most of the time (yuihan, katorena, annin, etc.)

Interesting point about spreading out the geographic location of the team 8 members -- rka is very sharp to note this.

Anyway, we'll see how the shuffle affects the next single -- probably business as usual but it'll be interesting to see where mion and yuiyui are positioned (and whether there would be slightly less SG). At least front row for mion and at least middle 2nd row for yuiyui are probably the minimum expectations.

 

I like this shuffle, the first one that I liked.
All Team 8 kennin... very smart this decision.

 

Its the implication of what may be coming that makes it exciting

 

The implication of not having Hana, Rika, Ayaka in AKB --> very exciting
The implication of not having Sakura and Nako in AKB --> kind of not exciting for me
The implication of having all eitos in other team --> exciting
The implication of having team songs --> very exciting

What else? I just do not dare to put new team stages there.

 

I like the Team 8 move. I don't think it means phasing out the team though.

Wrote that a few months ago, and I would call this that big push. AKS is acknowledging that eitos are some of AKBs best prospects and wants everyone to see them all as part of AKB proper so they can fit nicely into future AKB plans without any USvsTHEM tensions (when the great eitos inevitably take over AKB).
