How do you guys feel about the "Super KKS" ?
Girls like Meru, Mio, Kojimako, Nana, Miki, etc. who get tons of spotlight and even a unit of their own, despite them being relatively new to the group.
Are they that talented they deserve it already?
In the case of the just-promoted AKB kks, I would say yeah. They're plenty ripe and this Team 4 formation will do them some good. ...Hopefully.
Is it because there aren't any open slots in the teams? If so, they would have been promoted already?
Well, HKT's KIV should be happening any minute, so they'll be official pretty soon. For the AKB ones... see next statement.
Is it unfair to recently promoted girls like Morikawa Ayaka, etc. who don't get to do anything?
AKB's in terrible shape for new girls currently. Getting thrown into a team with 20+ girls who can't perform all at once, how can you possibly shine? Unless you've already got some popularity going you basically become a dedicated under.
It really stinks, and it's kind of an F you to the girls who have been promoted to teams that Nana, Mako and friends are getting their own team.
Bottom line: Being a not-immediately-popular kenkyuusei is an uphill battle in these groups now,
ESPECIALLY AKB48. Talk about a huge challenge.
