    Ota Aika is captain. She is also a 3rd gen AKB member, one of the last few standing. She is pretty much guaranteed a spot in the HKT48 senbatsu until she graduates (which won't be long the way she and Sashi have been talking).

    She really doesn't have anything to gain from being in the sousenkyo. She could enter and rank somewhere between 32 to 48 like she always does.

    Or, she can step aside, and say "go vote for my kouhei!" and through doing so she will be able to raise the status of someone else. Her action of just not entering means that she granted the gift of ranking in to someone who otherwise wouldn't.

    Ota Aika knows better than anyone what it is like to feel unappreciated in AKB. She knows what it is like to have hope snatched away from her and go from feeling like she was going to be on top to being cast totally aside.

    No.... more than that... she knows what it is like to be regarded as equals, partners, best pals with someone, to say that they will be together forever.... and then see that pal rise to superstardom while she is left alone with nothing to do. That wounded her and that wound festered and stirred up in her regrettable emotions and ultimately forced her to run away and find a new purpose before it could heal.

    And now she is captain and she can see that same pain inflicted on those around her... and this is really the only thing she has the power to do about it.

    I have a feeling that Anai just got drunk and forgot that she was supposed to submit her application...
    Ota though? She has been planning to do this since last year and her hesitation was simply disappointing all those who she knew wanted very much to show their support for her.

    But, she said it herself... if you really want to support Ota Aika, choose someone else deserving among her team who needs all the help they can get (anyone but Sakura or Mio) and give them the push for Aika's sake.

    People are speculating anything from a grad or transfer, to resigning as captain or even a shortcut for her new movie.

    The last option is the winner! Though no mention of a movie or any other reason, just a bobcut.

    Oh Aika. Why did she have to make it so dramatic?

    From the hairsalon's insta:

    On 755 she and her fans are now kinda laughing off the other rumours together lol.

    About her actually graduating, at her seitansai she said that she wanted to leave behind a strong Team KIV for the future so I always guessed she'd wait until after a shuffle that integrated some new 4th gens into KIV. (Which is quite far off still.)

    I believe it's because it's a big deal to herself and her fans, having sported twin tails many a time, it's a part of her image. Or at least was.

    Perhaps I'm mistaken, and she wanted to scare everyone into thinking she was graduating. Which I still feel would be ridiculous as she's in a great position right now with her permanent senbatsu position and leader of a team. She can only get bored or fed up to want to leave, and I believe that neither are the case for now.

    The hairstyle doesn't really look all that different from her last one. Her hair is still shoulder length...

    On the other hand, wth is she wearing?! A transparent summer dress over a white t-shirt and torn-up denim shorts? o_O

    I mean, really, the idea that anyone would even make, sell or buy a completely transparent dress is mind-boggling to me. I mean unless it is meant to be some sort of nightgown for a particularly daring girl who wants to be sexy by showing off her lingerie while still being somewhat warm?... in which case its kind of like wearing one's underwear and bra on the outside of one's clothes.

    Lovetan looks so cute and thin in Odekake 176. she fits right in with the younger member (actually her and naoko are about the same age). I wonder if she will appear in more odekake episode?
