[Discuss] The AKB48 Predictions Thread

[MikeyB]

I'll throw my hat into the ring then.
Some crazy stuff i'd find interesting, but wouldn't necessarily want, to happen:
- A reshuffle between groups and teams
- A new concept sister group, like rural, touring, kids or even acting... and so on
-  JNY48- All male sibling group in collaboration with Johnny's
- Sister group for Nogizaka
- An en mass graduation of some kind
- And the best for last... New and Original stages for all teams, including sister groups!

i like this. reshuffle most likely will happen during the tokyo dome concert.

-mayu chan is going to make even more pv's(?)
-Itano tomomi might be graduated by some random/boyfriend reason e_e
-Acchan is going to have an american boyfriend

Announcement at the concert tomorrow: Aki-P has bought Tokyo Dome.
He'll call it the "AKB48 Arena" where instead of 250 people, 50.000 people can view the stage performances

Adds 2 giant pillars on every side of the stage just to make fans feel more at home.

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 Team Surprise
-SKE team shuffles Jurina, Anna to AKB
-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

I may be psychic. Also all of my joke ones are being knocked down as super false

I'm debating whether that whole big worldwide +1 feature from the election counts as my election prediction...

[WindCaliber]

Time to make my own predictions!

-Mayuyu will make it to the quarter finals of the janken tournament.
-A senbatsu member announces graduation within 6 months.
-Akicha and/or Sae and/or Harugon/san/ka decide to stay longer than the 6-12 months.
-Kasai WILL get a PB within 12 months!
-Oshima Yuko will be injured or have something to do with exhaustion before the year is up.
-SKE48 will face a serious scandal.

Aki-p 10 year predictions.

On November 23rd, AKB48 appeared on a special live broadcast program on the Mihama, Chiba bayfm station.

8 members of the group including Oshima Yuko (24), Shinoda Mariko (26), Takahashi Minami (21), and Kojima Haruna (24) appeared on the special program that is produced and broadcast once every fall.  The program opened with a talk on “10 years later” between the group’s executive producer Akimoto Yasushi (54)  and the members.

Akimoto predicted that Shinoda and Kojima will remain in AKB, and that Oshima will become an actress.  He also stated that, “Takahashi will spend her working life with AKB by becoming AKB’s general manager,” and that she would gain recognition for her work just as former Yomiuri Giants player and manager Nagashima Shigeo (76) has for his contributions to the team.  “Manager” Takahashi responded with, “I am ‘Mr. Position!’”

-Kasai WILL get a PB within 12 months!

-A senbatsu member announces graduation within 6 months.

[lusobr]

With the end of the year just two weeks away and inspired by the Kouhaku I predict the order in which the 1st gen members will graduate.
1- Itano
2- Minegishi
3- Kojima
4- Shinoda
5- Takahashi

I think Itano graduates next year and the rest in a spam of 3 years. I don't think Takamina will stay with AKB as a GM for ever as Akimoto Yasushi predicted (wishes). I think her ambiton won't let her as much as she loves AKB.

I also predict the fandom to freak out over every single incoming graduation, no matter how long the girl has been on the group or how stale her career has become on AKB.

I also predict that every girl Akimoto Yasushi loves and tries to push I will not like and every girl he leaves on the sidelines will be my favorites. Not much of a prediction honestly, more like a statement of difference in taste.

[SomethingWild]

- Matsui Rena for Team S Captain
- Nakanishi Yuka for Team E Captain

- Second generation AKB will graduate before first generation AKB.

[jafeijai]

- Second generation AKB will graduate before first generation AKB.

This'll probably boil down to Yuko vs Takamina graduation

[Kid_Alpha]

-All of SKE doesn't participate in the 32nd General Elections.

Probably the most ridiculous thing ever but who cares?

[Yuling]

He'll call it the "AKB48 Arena" where instead of 250 people, 50.000 people can view the stage performances

Actually, a new theater for AKB wouldn't surprise me at all... Obviously not the tokyo dome, but I could see them going for something bigger.


My prediction... It's a bold prediction, one that is likely wrong. But I predict Erena Ono is coming back into the fold. No idea why, just feel it in me bones.

Eh, that's like 2 and a half.
Time for some more predictions!

- An SKE member wins the Janken tournament.
- Yuko's graduation is announced by the end of this year.
- Yuihan solo single! 

[Mage77]

Kawaei Rina will win the Janken tournament.

I dunno if that's even a bold prediction at this point.

[SomethingWild]

- Matsui Rena for Team S Captain
- Nakanishi Yuka for Team E Captain

SO CLOSE, just had the teams mixed up 

Kawaei Rina will win the Janken tournament.

Or Iriyama.

Adding to that, I predict Kawaei will outrank Paruzaki the next Senbatsu Sousenkyo.

[kuro808]

I predict Aamin to win Janken.

[Jul3]

I'd mentioned this on twitter before, but since everyone else is posting janken predictions here...

I predict Tashima Meru for Janken Queen.

edit: Now that the official blog mentioned Rena Nozawa is participating, I kinda want to change my prediction to her!

[Melchizadek]

I may as well do this too:

I predict the Janken winner will be Matsumura Kaori.
