Oh? No one starting this thread? I am first then. Who's ur center prediction? And who's in and out senba?

Also from the teaser it's gonna another dance-based song, so we not gonna got slow or ballad song...

Also we got two dome as the venue for this tour. I am really Happy!!!! But to think they put Kyocera as the encore concert it's a bit... smell

It seem they planning to introduction the new gen on summer, couldn't wait!!!

 

Predictions

- Mio or Karin center. Mio has high chances since she was front in IWTC.
- Kirako back to senbatsu.
- Rika first senbatsu
- 3ki center: Reina, cause she is the only 3ki who has not centered yet.
- BACKS center: Akipo, Marinosu or Nagisa(most likely since it seems they have plans for her)

 

Judging by the title, this is likely another upbeat/energetic song.

I guess my hope for a Sakurazaka 1ki center is unlikely to be true. But I hope Koike will be at least back to the Senbatsu.

I wonder if they will give the center position to a complete new girl. We will see. I wouldn't mind seeing Hono centers another one. It has been quite a long time since she last centered.

 

Me too^^ but I am afraid that's gonna be her graduation single.

When the title come out, I also think Mio and Ten cause both of them really reprentative of young generation. The thing abt Karin, there's someone on X noticed that udagawa was a street on Guuzen no kotae MV, so that's maybe a hint.

Nagisa might be the Backs center, it's a right time for her. Girl really good at dancing, singing, and her expression getting better each time.

Now that fuu and ue gone, I hope Miichan back to senba

 

This is not prediction BUT my own desire for this come back
1st row: Hono TenRin (Center) Hikaru (4)
2nd row: Airi Mio Shizu Miu Rena (5)
3rd row: Rika Itoha Zono Matsuri Yu Reina (6)

 

I noticed there's a lot of people who want TenKarin w-center. They've been paired a lot lately, so it's possible. Personally, I've been waiting for their w-center or unit for 5 years now, so I really hope it happens this time

My predictions for center: TenKarin, Hono, Mio.
My hopes for senbatsu: Hikari, Inori.
My hopes for BACKS center: Akipo, Marino or Hikari if she doesn't enter senbatsu.
I also hope for 2ki song! Please!

 

Now that Miichan announced, I'm hoping for at least a final senbatsu spot or a backs song center.

 

If 4ki are not going to participate, there's still time for Mio or Odakura to center a 3ki song (if Mio is not the senbatsu center). I hope Miichan gets a center too, though I don't mind if it's a unit song (final senbatsu spot and a unit song?).

 

Looking at the saku 3rd gen and hina 4th gen pattern, Saku 4th gen will def introduce at 2nd album or if they gonna realese 12th single on june. I am not really catch up to saku lately, has Odakura recovered? She and Mio is the only one who not centering a proper song.

Mii def will get a grad song, but I really hope she back to senbatsu for the last time

 

Someone in these forums, recently mentioned something about Udagawa generation having to do with the year 1998. Based on this I would expect (and wish) Hono to be the center and nothing else. For me, if it'll not be Hono, it will be Mio according to the "course of things" regarding our youngest girl (but she definitely could wait for another single)... Any other outcome will be a surprise for me - but not big and not unwelcome, believe me!

I would also expect Rika to be - finally - in senbatsu, she definitely deserves it and Odakura being given the center of the 3rd gen song. This last thing will complete the "circle of balance" withing the 3rd gen, at least before the new girls arrive.

 

I get the feeling Mii will be in the senbatsu in the middle 3rd row with a backs center, or not in senbatsu but with a back center and unit (although this is just my wishful thinking that they will grant her wish of a unit with her beloved 3ki haha)

Honestly I've reached a stage where i'm never hoping for a center anymore, i'm just excited to see what they do next! I do hope, as much as i love her, that they chose someone else to center so not keep it too repetitive. I think a back to back center opportunity is fine as long as they switch it up after. Another Karin or Hono center would be nice as it's been a while, and this year might be the last time we get 2ki being so dominant in senbatsu, so i want them to be featured as much as possible.

Hoping for a banger anthem that isn't too dance heavy but still powerful (no dance breaking lol). A B-side thats a little rebellious and one that embodies miichan's character for a nice send off.

 

Nogizaka back to Endo (4ki ace)
Hinatazaka back to Nao (2ki ace)
Sakurazaka... you know it

 

Yap, everyone on twitter guess it would be Run center. She's been appeared a lot on my tl recently, it seem that's going to be true. I am not going complaint, but really I want someone else for center... please

 

Hoping for at least a RunRin w-center then. It has been a while since the last w-center so it's not impossible.

 

Personal center predictions:
Mio / Run/ Hono

 

Senbatsu will be revealed at January, 19th Soko Saku.

Congratulations Runrun!

3rd row: Ishimori Rika, Murai Yu, Matsuda Rina, Ozono Rei, Mukai Itoha, Murayama Miu
2nd row: Yamashita Shizuki, Tamura Hono, Moriya Rena, Taniguchi Airi, Matono Mio
Front: Yamasaki Ten, Morita Hikaru, Fujiyoshi Karin

 

Disappointing lineup tbh. The Ten - Hikaru - Karin front is a bit stale at this point. I really thought they'd give center to Mio or at least have Hono or Rena again.

 

I guess most of us saw it coming after Nao and Ensaku came back to center. Still, it is a disappointing lineup. I´ve accepted that Sakurazaka now has way too many fixed senbatsu spots and formations are now very predictable but I still had hopes for at least a w-center(last one was in 1st album). I was in denial but knew that Runrun would come back to center, S&F changed their strategy with aces. They now give them one center and then the next one will come only after 3-4 singles later, and yet, for me, Runrun center comeback doesn´t feel as fresh as Nao comeback.

I think a Hono center would be perfect since this song is funky just like Nagaredama. At least Rika got in so there is a win.

And talking about album, in my opinion, this line up would fit an album better than a single. Especially since it´s a 2ki front after a while.
