I had almost forgotten we got 18 new girls in the group.

Here's hoping they get a special Draft Stage or something.
Yuiri could produce that as well.

 

That powerful Team K 3rd draft lineup. One can't help but post it twice.

 

, !!!
Fixed

 

No refusals from HKT. 4 did the center test at Fukuoka today, and Yueru at Tokyo.

 

Basically no problem coming from group which draft <10 girls here. Only AKB and NMB.

 

I freaked out for a moment because I didn't recognize Otake Hitomi (B) without a ponytail. Then I remembered I can actually read her name

Does anyone know the average time girls are Kenkyuusei? I know some have gotten promoted really fast and others have been stuck for years...

 

There is no way of knowing that.
It all depends on how much a team needs the members and how prepared the KKS are, I suppose.

Some girls get promoted super fast (Azuma Rion was promoted after just 18 days as KKS) and others spent years (Oya Shizuka was the butt of the joke after spending over 2 years as a trainee).

When it comes to draftees is not different.

 

I'm betting on Yahagi Moeka, Abe Wakana, Ando Chikana, Watanabe Akari, Tsushima Yunako, Nakamura Mai and Shiotsuki Keito to be promoted quickly.

 

Watanabe Akari definitely since there're actually spots available in H. N should have someone too since there are two spots but IDK if it'll be Abe Wakana since I don't really know much about her. BII has a spot too but Shiotsuki Keito over Yamamoto Mikana? AS IF!

NGT girls won't get promoted so fast as well. They're probably waiting for Gen 2 and shuffle.

 

I actually had no idea about this :O Considering the fact that she's still in AKB now despite not being one of the more popular members, I feel it shows her determination & how much she likes being an idol~ I think I should pay more attention to her

 

Yeah, I think she got the most cheers when she was promoted during the 2009 Shuffle.
She was the last 5th gen KKS, and most of the 5th and 7th gen had already been promoted!

But then again, the same happened to the D2 girls.
Drafted in May 2015 and not promoted until September 2017 (except for Hiwatan).
No wonder we lost Kirara and Nao on the way.

 

Shiichan is 4th gen KKS..

 

All of you forget Wanchan.

I thought she would never be promoted and left before that, but she made it.

 

Nakamura Mai's promotion depends on STU actually forming teams first lol

There's part of me that expects that won't even be until after their current "tour". But who knows. I could see her or other draftees being promoted alongside the rest if they get a chance to perform soon but I wouldn't count on it otherwise... Though there is the point that the non-draft girls in STU aren't even listed as KKS on the official site, even though there are no teams yet. Just listed as Gen 1 (including Nana). But with 35 members (after Mami graduates) I'm more inclined to think they'll just promote everyone at once.

 

Oops, my mistake.

Still, most of the 5th, 6th and 7th were promoted before her.

 

they have 35 members? lmfao that's like two teams already.

 

Lmao team 8

The STU48 draftees are starting SR again from tomorrow onwards. Let's see when the others do too.

She had an (alleged) scandal that held her back.
