In case you haven't noticed yet: It's goodbye to Meetan, Cindy, Nonti and Yukarin  :oops: I predicted this would happen!!

I'm at loss for words at the moment...

The core of my Team B fandom is based on the Yuki/Sasshi/Moeno combi and they have TOTALLY split up!  :cry:

Based on a first glance at the names, 'new' Team A might be the best...

^Yeah, I finally got around learning the names and faces of most of the Team B members.. and now we're overloaded with a bunch of promoted Research Students  :nervous

First thoughts on the new teams:

Team A:
- Still has the Acchan/Kojiharu core
- Still has Takamina, Mariko, Akicha and Chisato  :heart:
- Excellent new additions in the form of Mocchi, Sasshi and Natsumi!
- Bunch of cool Team B members, even Love-tan is added.
- No one I really dislike!

Conclusion: Most excellent.

Team K:
- Still had Sae and Sayaka
- Still has Oshima and Erepyon
- Excellent Team B addition in the form of Moeno and Kohara
- Team A additions in the form of Tomochin, Minegishi and Fujie.. not sure if they fit in. I mean, Tomochin was really at home in Team A. She really fitted the part, song wise and fashion wise.

Conclusion: Team K took some big hits by losing Mocchi and Kasai!! Not to mention Meetan and Nonti!

Team B:
- My precious Yukirin is the leader! Mayuyu still here as well.
- More Kasai/Yukirin pairing in the future.
- Amina and Kitarie from Team A are excellent.
- Sumire will get popular!
- A bunch of girls I really don't like are here as well...  :oops:

Conclusion: Yay for Kasai/Yukirin pairing, but I doubt whether that'll be enough to make this team epic.

So yeah.. Team A for the win!

Team B might end up being my favourite Team wise as they seem like they could work better as a whole.
It's a shame because the thing that made me love Team K so much isn't there anymore in any of the teams T_T

^No official reason has been given yet.

However, I think Aki-P just wants to mix the old with the new;
- There are 12 promoted research students, which are nicely divided over the three teams; each team gets 4
- Each team now has some "big names"
- Nice excuse to permanently get rid of the older girls

Team B lost pretty much everyone, only 3 of the originals are left! Team A has 6 originals and Team K has 5 left.

TBH, I don't even care that they shuffled the teams. It's probably for the best in the long run. But the way they did in, in front of a massive audience is just cruel. In addition, some of these girls have been together since the beginning and they are taken away from their closest friends, that's making me kind of sad.

From what I've been reading, Tomochin and Minegishi took it really hard. Even newer girls like Amina almost fainted  :(

Btw, isn't it ironic that they're dream was to play at the Budokan and that something like this happens just when they fulfill that dream. No happy memories there..

Well it was part of the budoukan concert wasn't it? So we might have to wait for the DVD release to see it properly...

I don't think I want watch it after what I've heard(apart from maybe the kenkyuusei being told cuz they'd be happy :D)

That's some crazy shit...may take me a while to get over this. I don't even know if this can be considered good ro bad news but as long as Takamina is still around then I can't complain.

Actually I like it! - It's fresh, it's new,  it's interesting, it brings tension and excitement. Aki-P still is sort of a god!  :D :P

^You're just saying that because they left Acchan alone  :P But yes, It'll be interesting for sure! Crazy, but interesting.

They are in SDN48, still 'AKB' to me although rather far 'out-of-the-picture' for now, e.g. hoping they will release stage DVD's (and Amazon is prepared to send them overseas :) )

Akipi is a jerk?



I don't want to say much about this.. Just, I'm in shock.

Takamina being Team A capitan was pretty obvious. Don't know why people say they're glad Acchan wasn't picked, because Acchan has zero chance to be captain.

Sayaka captain of Team K was obvious too. Yukirin in B was not, I would have said it would be Mayu.


Haha, sux.

^Maybe Aki-P is a genius?

Mayuyu may be the face of Team B, but Kashiwagi is the older and more reliable one.. I think  :lol: Anyway, I think the whole 'leader' thing is a bit stupid. On the other hand, it might add to Yukirin's status. In that sense, I like it.  :lol:

doinkies' reaction to this news, told in chronological order:

*reading articles on Google Reader, finds a new IntlWota article is posted*
*reads the article that says AKB48 team lineups will be shuffled*
doinkies: bwuh? :shocked
*goes to Stage48 thread*
*reads thread*
doinkies: AKIPISADOINKAKIPISADOINKAKIPISADOINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

*a half hour later*

doinkies: Well, there are some positives to this...Sumire and Ayarin were promoted along with some other kenkyuuseis, Sae and Sayaka are still in Team K together and Takamina and Sayaka are Captains! It also might make fans notice some of the lesser known members and appreciate them better.
But I wish Amina was still in Team A especially after hearing about how she fainted.  :(
And I'll miss Meetan  :( :(
*reads Meetan's blog and notices that in her new blog entry for her fans under 18 and thus aren't able to see SDN shows, she says that "it seems like something fun will be happening with SDN?"*
doinkies: ...moar exposure for SDN48 outside the theater perhaps?  :w00t: at least that's what I hope or else I'll go AKIPISADOINKAKIPISADOINK again...

So yeah.

AKB48 shuffles its teams

Mon, August 24, 2009 (12:33am EDT)

This weekend, AKB48 performed three concerts at the Nippon Budokan. At the end of the third show, it was unexpectedly announced that the rosters of the group's three teams are being shuffled. The changes include the addition of twelve kenkyuusei members and the transfer of four members to SDN48. The three captains will be Minami Takahashi (Team A), Sayaka Akimoto (Team K), and Yuki Kashiwagi (Team B). Teams A and K will have a total of 17 members each, while Team B will have 16.

Kayo Noro, Megumi Ohori, Yukari Sato, and Kazumi Urano have been removed from the AKB48 lineup, though they will continue their activities with SDN48. Noro has been appointed as the SDN48 captain. AKB48's new team lineups will officially take effect in October. The group also repeated the announcement that they have scheduled some overseas concerts. They will reportedly appear at the New York Anime Festival next month, and have scheduled a mini-concert on September 26 and a solo concert at Webster Hall on September 27. However, New York Anime Festival has not yet officially announced their appearance. Then on October 5, they will perform at an opening event for the media convention MIPCOM in Cannes, France.
