    Why are we not worried about Asuka's graduation as we are of the older members? She's been doing this as long as Maiyan or Nanase. We worry about the former for their age: mid-20s seems to be an idol's expiration date. But can't we also worry about the length of time as an idol as well?

    It'll be 7 full years at the end of August that she's been in Nogizaka. Is 7 years enough and is it time to do something else as well? Asuka has achieved much if not more than the front members as she went from Unders to Center, from back to front, over her Nogi career. Can she feel that she's done all she can and that their are more opportunities/challenges outside Nogizaka than in it? I think Ikoma felt that way and it was why she graduated.

    Anyhow, just thinking on a lazy Saturday...

    Ikoma had reached the limit of what she could achieve within Nogizaka46. Besides that, it was pretty clear she had a broad interest in other things as well, and she decided to chase it.

    Asuka's growth on the other hand isn't over. She is still a rising star, and to throw away that momentum now by graduating would be a waste. I think she will stay for at least 2 years.

    I am not maintaining that Asuka should graduate. I am making an observation that we often talk of potential graduates by their age. Rarely do we mention their length of time in the industry.

    Yes, it would be a waste for her to graduate any time soon. She is almost 20 so there are still a few years left in her idol career! She can go until she's 25, too! See I am judging her by her age. But in terms of idol accomplishments, she's done it all -- what more is left? If she feels like it she could pursue one of the acting or modeling opportunities handed to her.

    Asuka doesn't strike me as the one to say, "I want to make a Nogi song a nationwide hit!" Something Maiyan has said. Nor does she seem to be the one to say that she'll lead Nogi to the best future possible, which feels like a 2nd or 3rd Gen would say. Still, as a 1st Gen, she's got 7 years which is a lot in idol years.

    Perhaps, we don't know yet, because we focus on her elders. Asuka will surprise us in ways we don't anticipate.

    In addition to her age, she's also only been in the focus of the fans for half the time Maiyan has. And close enough the same for Nanase.
    Maiyan 7 years, Nanase ~6, Asuka 3~4.

    I believe she mentioned a few years ago that she can't see herself doing anything else but an idol, that she enjoys while she is on stage, and that is her motivation on staying with Nogi. However, as we all witnessed, a lot of opportunities has opened for her in a short amount of time. We won't know if her motivations/interests changed now until she mentions it (or when she suddenly announced her grad haha).

    For an idol who thinks that she is not good at anything, has little motivation than her colleagues, doesn't like fan services, and prefers to always be alone, she's doing pretty good.

    I don't think we have seen the best of her yet, and her biggest moments are yet to come. And I believe she is motivated and committed to Nogizaka. After all, it's the first place she feels where she belongs and where her heart is.

    Have been lurking around here since early of this year, but because today is Asuka's birthday I decided to post my first comment.

    Asuka chan tanjoubi omedetou!!

    Hope she will be more successful from now onwards.

    Also hope for her movie to be successful and I will definitely go to watch it in the cinema.

    I'm looking forward to receive her birthday mug and t-shirt this saturday.

    Happy 20th birthday Ashurin!!! :ome:

    Never been a perfect time to celebrate, right in the middle of Jikochuu's first week of sales!

    And since she's now a legal adult, is it safe to say to spray some champagne? [hehe]
