Souda Sarina (Sarii) / 1st Generation

looking at the photos its seems that they dont try to hide it, in fact they look like a married couple. Good for Sarina tho, she's 28 possible to be graduating anyways.

 

You know what's funny:

If AKB48 went and released their next single with her as CENTER and it sold very well (say close to 2 mil).

And because of that, the public even began to listen to them again.

I know FOR A FACT you wouldn't have ANYTHING negative to say about this.

 

Jesus, try to hide your ugly sexism just a little bit.

 

Bwahahahaaa good one.

You think the public give a shit about 48 group? You think Japanese fans are gonna be all "Yass Qween Slay" over this? Bwahahaha

Says the guy with a bikini photo as his avatar

 

Woman* and they're my favorite members (well, WAS in Azumarion's case). I don't go around calling women in their late 20s-early 30s grannies. THAT is what is sexist. My avatar isn't.

Nice try though!

 

Old idols are grannies. Older members get called obasan all the time.

And you call me sexist like I should be offended by that

 

She will graduate soon from her age alone, so I won't complain this time.

 

Saw some posts in 5ch saying that she is showing no intention to leave according to mails, wich is a fucking pain in the ass considering it could open a lovely senbatsu spot to 10th gen members.

 

There's a transcript of the speech she made at today's birthday theater stage at this link:
https://akb48-blog.net/speech/sodasarina-28-seitansai/

Basically she said that she intends to continue in the group, she didn't mention recent 'events' but she did give thanks to members and fans for their support.

 

She should continue, she's a great member!

 

Great at dating johnnies.
Ito + Mirei was very possible without her, but now i am not so sure.

 

They have to be.
Churi and Jurina are gone, even without this scandal, Sarina is 28, Minarun, Akarin are already 29.

 

It's bizarre to me she's still in the group, people have been fired from these groups for less.

 

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm happy that now there's a free senbatsu spot for a prettier member.
Her visual look just isn't it...

Maybe she didn't care, if she's getting bunshuned.
Maybe the management doesn't care either...

 

Just announced graduation (not a surprise given recent events). Date of her last activity is TBA. She will perform on stage and in musicals in future. Tokyo Sports article:

Ok I clearly missed the scandal, but I'm sadden to see her go. I love older idols (maybe because Sally is the same age as me lol). But I understand her decision (if it was her choice idk). I hope she has a good career afterwards.

 

Didn't she mentioned one week ago, she'll stay even with the "scandal"?
Now plottwist?

 

Regardless of recent events, I think that this is a good moment for her to graduate if this is what she wants. I checked and she joined SKE in 2013, so 8 years ago, and she's 28 years old now. However it's always sad for me to see someone leave when I know their name/face because there aren't that many sister group members that I know currently...

Actually, I recently finally watched the drama AKB Love Night, and Sarina's episode might be my favorite of all (my full review of her episode is under spoiler here), I really liked her story and she did well with the acting (especially one scene that I really liked). I wish her good luck in her career as musical and stage play actress!

 

I think that it was a case of more like "I'm not gonna announce my graduation on my Birthday Stage"

Welp, expected... here's goes one of my remaining oshis, i will keep an eye on her activities.
