    Nao just probably got tired of not getting shit from the group.

    She has been in the group for over 2 years and hasn't been promoted at all.
    And the only song she's ever participated in was because she got the position through janken.

    Her sister has been in SKE for 7 months and she's already done more than her.

    Shame on management.

    Indeed.

    A kks graduating wouldn't normally be that big of a deal but it's not like AKB has a surfeit of members at the moment. One has to ask are management deliberately running AKB into the ground or is it just incompetence?

    these days the management/Staff-San do made mistakes/bad decisions (Okinawa SSK), those KKS should be promoted already...wth is going on?

    i expect more members will graduate and they need more members to fill the theater :^^;:

    I think the best they could do is:

    Mass graduation of AKB members from 1-15 gen and D1 and D2, with last activity on March 2018. 16th gen is unaffected, and will appear as unders for sister group performances. Then AKB announces hiatus, while Team 8 continues. The main AKB will continue on its hiatus until 17th, 18th and 19th gen members have been recruited. As a result, all the events afterwards will only be participated by Team 8, SKE, NMB, HKT, NGT and STU members. There won't be an AKB Group SSK, in its place is a Major Idol SSK organized by Tokyo Idol Project and Sasshi where major idol groups other than 48G will participate.

    I don't know what you are thinking but AKB will never go on a hiatus LOL. Every other sister group can go on hiatus BUT AKB. AKB is like the foundation to all the other sister groups' (members).

    Your fantasies are sure interesting. Do you still hope that Yahagi Moeka will make a surprise appearance as 16.5 gen? Just curious :awesome:

    So Nomura Nao announced grad... smh. I read on her thread lately that she wasn't doing much Showroom compared to last year and that she looks more sad & depressed. Probably she gave up on being idol a while ago. This is the 2nd member of Draft 2nd gen to graduate after Kira... and both of them are quite popular (I mean if we speak of Draft 2nd gen level, they both got some attention). sigh -_- Management is just taking forever to promote them. not surprised they grad :/

    @x_AozoraKataomoi_x Your idea is a bit crazy and it won't happen LOL but I do think management should do something, a big change. Like why not promoting Team 8 as a group right now since they have so much potential & rising popularity. Meanwhile AKB just keep getting grads, and slowly dying... so maybe they can use Team 8 to perform in theater more, and have a Team 8 senbatsu as AKB a-side... meanwhile they need to do something about the lack of members in AKB... either reduce the teams or something, because there's no way they can even do a shuffle with so little members. 16th gen aren't enough (are they even ready).

    Speaking of Yahagi Moeka, yeah I wish she could join the group. She's the only girl who actually got my attention during 16th gen audition :(

    For anyone who wants it as a reference, these are the members who didn't enter SSK and (still?) haven't graduated or announced graduation:

    Team A: Iriyama Anna
    Team K: Muto Tomu
    Team B: Kashiwagi Yuki
    Team 4: Murayama Yuiri
    Team S: Goto Risako
    Team N: Yamao Rina, Yamamoto Sayaka
    Team M: Kinoshita Momoka
    Team BII: Yagura Fuuko
    Team H: Kodama Haruka, Komada Hiroka
    Team Kaigai: Chikano Rina

    Muto Tomu and Murayama Yuiri have justified their absence so they aren't probably graduating soon, as well as Chikano Rina since she doesn't enter SSK since becoming a JKT member.

    Yeah the worst is that there are girls that we do expect to graduate in the next months or next year (like Annin, Tano, Takeuchi Miyu, Shiichan, etc.), but they didn't announce yet, meanwhile girls that we don't expect to graduate (new gens, KKS) are announcing grad. so what will happen in the end if so many new gens graduate and the older gen also leave (because it's normal for them) the group will be even more empty. there's no way they can keep 4 teams tbh. not possible.

    My dream outcome would be distributing actual Team 4 members through A, K, B and promoting all kenkyuusei to Team 4 along with a guidance senpai, someone who could still benefit from that (KitaRie and NGT is the textbook example). If it still lacks numbers, do a couple more kennins (preferably Eitos) or introduce a new generation.
    My nightmare outcome would be a mess of kennin and transferring members from sister groups.

    What if management actually hate these draftee members? Unlike normal audition, the members instead of management picked them so management had no say, but then by the clever plot of never promoting them, they can force them to graduate themselves! It all makes sense now :evil:

    (I was not being serious)

    Just remember that the staff had no say on only the final selection.
    They still ran all the previous steps in the draft process.

    Management won't outright admit that they want to pick for themselves. They have more 'expertise' on picking who has the potential of being a high/mid/low tier member. Maybe we should trust them more.

    Yeah, management has been knocking it out of the ballpark with their picks/decisions the past few years.

    [hehe]

    Sorry, that was a meatball and I just had to swing. :D

    Feels to me like Nomura Nao graduating is the straw breaking the camel's back, at least for me.
    Lately AKB has been less and less interesting except for their major yearly events and the management decisions have been getting worse and worse, but with Nao's grad and D2s still not promoted, after seeing how hard she tried to become a good idol, I just feel dead towards AKB. Even Naachan isn't going to be able to save it unless it does a complete and immediate 180 as far as promotions and new material, which isn't going to happen. After reading about Nao's grad it just dawned on me that AKB is sinking, I don't care as much as I used to and even though I still like their music, I might not spend much time paying attention to the personnel side of it anymore.
