I just watched the 1st episode of the new AKB show and it feels unfair to see Zukki compared to 2 "monsters" of AKB history. Who would ever feel like they are enough if compared to Acchan? Even Nana and Yuiri would come up short, and they are two of AKB senior members. Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it means expectations and chances for Zukki are there and she just needs to take them, but I hardly trust mngmnt and it feels more like they didn't want to risk more popular members. I don't think the path AKB took with this whole thing is the right one, but I hope Zukki will manage to navigate through it as best as she can.
