[Discuss] The AKB48 Predictions Thread
« on: January 01, 2012, 02:16:13 PM »
The new year has started, but what will happen in the future?

This thread is for both serious and wacky predictions (which could even turn out to become reality haha) about everything related to the 48 empire. Correct prediction = bragging rights!  :lol:


I predict:
- 2012 will be make or break for Kasai. If the rumors are true and she's not in the senbatsu for the upcoming AKB48, then things are looking grim. I doubt we'll ever get that PB.
- Something has to happen with Watarirouka Hashiritai. Mayu going solo has to affect the group + Wasamin's going solo/different agency. The girls are all growing up, so their super cutesy image will become awkward sooner or later. One option could be to add Mtasubara and Nonaka and change the image of the group or form a new group.
- First SKE48 sub-unit! I'm thinking Akane center, no Matsui involved.
- Kashiwagi Yuki 2nd PB
- Graduation candidates: Mariko, Katayama, Sato Natsuki, Chisato, Kobayashi

Wacky? don't mind if I do :D

Realizing the marketability of AKB's girls, Macallan launches a campaign to enter the Japanese  market, complete with Tomochin, Acchan, Mariko, Kojiharu, & Oshima in a CM for their whiskies XD

We've now got the SKE kissing PV.  I predict AKB to top this with a PV in which 2 main members are shown waking up in bed together with the clear implication that they have slept with each other :lol:

And Yuko and Mayuyu will get their own sub unit.  OSR48 (I think this is what they called their proposed Oshiri sisters group when they were joking around once) XD

Serious predictions though...

I think that Maeda Ami's gonna get a real boost in the next year.  I feel like she's been getting a lot more attention and I'm wondering if she'll either be put into an exisiting sub-unit or maybe be given a new sub-unit to lead.

An announcement that Takamina will be getting a solo single.

Sukeban Girls get actual movie.
Yui get's an IV/PB.
MINT will be back for a 3rd song.
Majisuka Gakuen gets spin-off. Main characters are Team Fondue and some SKE + Nogizaka46 members. Will probably be pretty bad. :P
Mayuyu gets solo debut.
Aki Matsuri makes comeback, is awesome.
New theater Stage setlist.
A popular gen 1 member is getting married.

Acchan, Tomochin, Rena, Yuko, Yukirin will have to miss some events/stages due to health issues at least 3 times.

Acchan got her solo single around June again.

Kawaei and TakaJuri got promoted.

Some unexpected girls graduate, Mariko still stays by the end of the year.

Here's a mix of serious and wacky, but I won't say which are which:

-HoriPro finally gets a "permanent" subunit with Kasai Tomomi as center.

-Since WH(7) are getting older, SKE48 will have a new cutesy subunit with Kimoto Kanon as center.

-SKE48 will have their first Senbatsu election.

-Kureha no Station will win the SKE48 Request Hour for the 3rd year in a row.

-After her 18th birthday Fujie Reina will film her 3rd IV. It will be called "Barely Clothed Girl".

-Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2012 will be released. It will be sung by every girl under the xxx48 umbrella and have a 30+ minute long PV.

-At a concert called "We absolutely swear there won't be any surprises at this one. No, really!", Acchan will announce her graduation.

Predictions:
-Sakura single is in the vein of 10nen Zakura - upbeat song, but touching drama in the PV
-SDN is revived with new members including at least one AKB girl
-Part of the election votes come from G+
-At least one of the new AKB stages opens
-SKE team shuffles
-The summer song this year has to do with ribbons and everyone is wearing the Takamina hair
-Takamina finally cuts her effing hair like she promised to, but doesn't like it and puts extensions in after a month
-Mariko does not graduate, however online fans predict her graduation every five minutes. Mariko enjoys trolling the fandom.
-DiVA does a shittastic remix of Kimi wa Pegasus and/or Return Match
-AKB is given their own team at Kouhaku to balance the numbers out. Somehow they still win.
-Honmayan gets a spinoff

- Takamina manages to not have the ribbon in her hair for an entire month.
- Nacchi and Nacchan finally get a push.
- 2nd Rumi PB/IV.
- The revival of NacchiNon.
- Yui signs with OtaPro (finally).



New theater Stage setlist.
AkiP's already working on original Team N stage :D (source: G+)

- Yui quits showbiz and marries me, and we live happily ever after
- Amp kindly invites me to the wedding, which eventually leads to my marriage to Takamina. There are bows everywhere.
-Yuko and Takamina start saying "If we were allowed to date" instead of "If I were a man" about their respective girlfriends.
-Ichikawa Miori successfully turns into a lemon. Aki-P writes a song about it and the first fruit is center of an AKB single
-Every single person but Takamina goes solo in AKB
-Takamina and Yuko are paired together for the first round of the next Janken tournament. Somehow they both still lose.
-Aki-P does a reverse senbatsu election where the people with the least amount of votes win. An obscure 15th gen who no one remembered becomes center.
-AKB announces tour plans literally everywhere but North America. They are well received in Africa.

What are you implying? :shilivid:

- AKBingo gets the boot, and we get some new awesome show to replace it.
- Another bikini-rich PV this summer.
- My wedding reception with Yui is crashed by an angry & drunken Mayu, who proceeds to kick me in the balls, and vomit in the punchbowl, before finally passing out and collapsing on the cake.
- Another 1/48 game, this time on PS3, and set in the USA and/or France, with FMV replacing the slideshow.
- Ume will rub Masa's bald head, for good luck in the next election.
- AKB photobook featuring feet.
- Someone from SDN goes into porn.

-More photobook releases this year.
-Shawako a solidified top SKE senbatsu member from here on out.
-More original-sounding AKB singles this year. Probably will stick to a similar theme but I think effort will be made to make them stand out a bit more.
-S4 by late summer.
-AKB or a sister group will travel to a country other than Singapore this year. Aki-P still hasn't given up on selling that concept, as recent interviews have revealed. I can see it happening for marketing if nothing else.
-More video games, maybe on a console and more interactive as others have said.
-Shawako's rank at the AKB senbatsu election will go up even further.
-SKE subunit will happen.
-Something to replace SDN48. Subunit with 20-somethings?

Might add more later. This is taking too long. :lol:

Hmm, I'm not so sure. She is getting pretty old in comparison to the rest of the girls. I think Ue Kara Mariko may have been planned to be her last "hurrah".

From Yonpara:
Quote
August 12th, 2012: Kitahara Rie will meet her soulmate (of her previous life) from 160 years ago.
Kitahara Rie will also appear in a future film as a female swords-user.
Oshima Yuko will receive a dance offer from Jay Jr., in Brazil.
Yokoyama Yui will be featured in a CM for Belgian cakes.
November 17th, 2012: Sashihara Rino will pick up a gold ring close to her house. If she delivers it to the police station (as lost and found), she will have the chance of meeting that 'special someone'. The person who lost that ring is A.H.
There will also be a Sashiko Legend that will come about this year; Sasshi will challenge at something and people will want to copy that
