Obata Yuna (Yunana) / 7th Generation

The amount of gravure jobs she got went down a lot. Jonishi Rei was a rising star at the same time until the gravure ban and now she's ground to a halt. If you're a magazine editor and your picking non-bikini girls then your going to pick Nogizaka or Keyakizaka first because those groups are more popular than SKE.

Do I think Yuna will be like Naanya? I don't know but it's a possibility. Or she could go in some completely different direction, we'll just have to wait and see.

It's a damn pity for SKE though.

 

Yay, another 10 years of Jurina's center

 

17 years old is always a paranoia period for graduation announcements.
My guess is school.

 

glad I wasn't the only one thinking that

 

Guess the sign is out since management decide to include maya in akb singles as ske "new gen" representative rather than yunana.

 

From SKE48 website: http://www.ske48.co.jp/news/?id=1549977319

Her official social media will cease on 3/31 and her last activity will be the SKE48 HS event on 4/6.

 

Yeah, but she was constantly pushed (she got two SKE centers!) and had everything to become a household name?
It feels weird to just throw everything out the window just like that.

And this is not the first time it happens with SKE.
Mizuho? Harutamu? Ami?

Right now, their best bet is to focus on Ryoha again and throw a bone to Nao. What's the point in pushing new gens if they end up leaving so soon?

 

Ahhh wad a waste .... among all she had the best potential to be the NEXT one ..... I too agree the ban had some effect ... for HKT, Miku would surely rise higher if not for the ban and for SKE , I find she has the great potential but ..... alas.... wad a waste .... this is the time when I feel urghhh wasted ... the timing ......

 

whaaat she didnt even get teary eyed or stopped smiling for a second she must really hate her job or something

 

I'm so sad about this graduation ._. tbh I don't know that many new gens of SKE and most of the SKE girls I knew and liked are gone long ago. I was trying to find a new SKE fav in the end of 2015, after Rena graduated (my SKE oshi) so for the first time I watched a SKE KKS stage back then, and I noticed 3-4 girls I found good and the one that impressed me the most was Yunana since she had so much energy and a great smile, and it was so enjoyable to see her perform. when she got pushed as SKE future center and ace, I was so happy for her and satisfied with management's choice. everything was going right.

Now suddenly she's graduating ._. I mean I noticed that they didn't include her in AKB senbatsu anymore (not sure if this is a result of her wish to graduate or one of the causes...). She's only 17 and she's just so perfect to represent SKE, she's so fresh, full of energy and cute. what a loss, seriously ._. I guess she has reasons... I wish her the best of course... why does this always happen to SKE though, all these early and unexpected graduations of members with potential.

Sigh.

 

Kuumin, Manatsu...

Ryoha's great, I hope they do go back to her. And now that Nojima's won the singing competition they should push her a bit stronger within SKE and hopefully they'll keep pushing Oka too.

 

wow
sudden announcement
hatin young member going

 

Yo wtf? lolol. Like girl u had a fantastic career coming up in SKE honestly. She was being pushed. People liked her quite a lot too. And she's great as an idol. I'm honestly shocked lol.

 

i'm shocked,didn't expect it at all
2019 is coming for my oshis

 

No grad single

 

OMG why, just why. Yunana was doing good, great. She got to center twice, ranked well in sousenkyou. SKE48 was on the right track pushing new gen (going back to Jurina center for more than one time was a mistake though, I mean she didn't really have to center Ikinari now did she) in their lineups. Now who to replace Yunana? Yunana was the best choice. Rara is another good choice, but she just went back from her hiatus. Ryoha or Nao? I think at best they can be transitional center until they find another. Kiina was another good choice (well for a front row) but she graduated. Miyo I guess then? Kano would be good in senbatsu, but low chance on them making her center. Perhaps, someome in 9th gen would be great, but that needs time. They should stop making Jurina center and rotating others for center until they find another gem like Yunana. Perhaps Suda and then Nao to center this year SKE48 singles, then next year perhaps Ryoha wcentering with a new gen or something, or let's say Rara? And then keep making new gen center, rotate between new gens until new new gen rises.

 

I've always thought Rara would graduate before Yunana, but damn. Now my deepest hope for SKE to get Yunana-Rara wcenter single is gone. I feel damn sad.

 

Giving handshakes to old pervs doesn’t seem like fun.

 

I wonder if it keeps happening to pushed girls, is there a possibility for systematic bullying within the group?

 

Well I don't think all is happiness, we are talking about FEMALE teenagers. Competition and envy must be huge inside the group (any 48 group) we will never know the actual reason, but if she is happy then all we can do is support her and also wish the best for the group (Oka or Maya)
