Do you know: when TKMN eventually graduates, AKB48 will be left with ONLY TWO of the original Founding Mothers
Kojima Haruna is already 27, how many more years has she got left? And team captain Miichan; her big scandal was years ago, but is she still so stigmatized by it that one day she might decide staying on isn't all that worthwhile?
Acchan's gone, so are Akimoto Sayaka, Oshima Yuko, Mariko, both Kasai & Itano Tomomis....
