Really sorry to see Arisa leaving, she is a wonderful girl

But she has grown up since first auditioning,
And best wishes to this intelligent and beautiful young
woman as she continues to follow her path ...

The AKB48 Official Newspaper is running a survey on their google+ https://plus.google.com/114901599093908880416/posts

So anyone with google+ accounts, feel free to respond and give them your thoughts!

They separated the questions by group, so you can answer for each one, the questions are:

1. Are you happy with ---48 right now? (where --- is for each group) (Egs/ you can put していない for no or 満足しています for yes)
2. Do you have an oshi team?
3. Are you for (賛成) or against (反対) a shuffle?
4. Opinions.

edit: HKT are missing question 2, so remember to re-number 3+4 to 2+3, unlike me...

Oshima Team K will start performing a revival of K4th "Saishu Bell ga Naru"

The shonichi (opening date) will be 20th February 2014.

(this is only 4 days before the upcoming shuffle...)

This means that yesterday's (12th Feb) performance of Team K Waiting Stage was the final one as no other Team K shows are scheduled until the 20th.
