Author Topic: [News] SKE48 Mass Graduation (Read 11376 times)

Just announced at the theatre, a long list of SKE48 girls will be graduating:

Kuwabara Mizuki
Takada Shiori
Hiramatsu Kanako
Akaeda Ririna
Ogiso Shiori
Ueno Kasumi
Hara Minami
Kobayashi Emiri

Yagami Kumi was re-announced as well...

Seems like the rumour I posted here from some interview was true: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20753.msg1136757#msg1136757

Hmm... The only major surprise in that list is Ogiso Shiori. Definitely didn't expect that.

Biggest disappointment is Shiitan... One of the top favorites since day one. I was hoping she could stay on as team S leader, but I guess that ship has sailed.

Sucks to see Ririna go too, but I can't blame her. She doesn't really have a bright future in SKE48.

Mizuki and Kanakana are first gen and mood makers so it also sucks to lose them, but I can live with it. It's the way things go.

edit: Oh, completely missed Haramina. Didn't expect that either...

Seems like the 9 graduates will be getting a song together as a c/w for "Choco no Dorei"

How sad!!!

And!! What about Sonata from AKB0048? Her voice actress is Kumiin, right?

Sonata's voice actress will be replaced by new one?

Season 2 has been completed already, so no worries there. Furthermore, she won't graduate until spring so she can still participate in a possible second No Name single release.

As far as 0048 goes, we might not even get a third season. If we do, it'll be very easy for the writers to 'graduate' Sonata in the show or write her out some other way. I doubt they'll replace her, it's more likely they'll add a new character altogether. But this all getting way ahead of things.

SKE 9 member graduation partial translation

Hara Minami here. I’m graduating from SKE48 as well.
After being promoted to a Team and entering senbatsu as well as other activities I’ve gained many experiences. Because of these experiences, I can then move closer towards my dream. Right now I’ve made my decision to graduate. I will not forget the memories I’ve had and the times spent with everyone here. As well as the SKE family who helped me grow
I hope I would be able to spend my time happily until I graduate.

Ogiso Shiori here.
I became 20 last year. It’s a major life transition, and so I thought a lot about it. I want to broaden my horizons from now on and so I’ve decided to graduate.

Akaeda Ririna here. I’m in my 2nd year in high school. I’ve also thought a lot and decided to graduate.

Yagami Kumi here. Once again, I’m greeting this way. As announced previously, I’ve decided to graduate. I’m determined to start over from scratch, I think there are still a lot of things. I’m determined to get over it. Please continue to support me.

Kuwabara Mizuki

I’ve decided to graduate as well. SKE was originally a first step towards my goal, please continue to support me for my second step towards my dream.

Yuasa
Everyone will be graduating this spring.

Ogiso! KanaKana! Mizuki!

9 all together. Have this happened before in the 48 groups? (well, aside from SDN)

It's reminiscent of when Ohe Tomomi, Komatani Hitomi, Tojima Hana, Nakanishi Rina and Narita Risa announced their graduation at the last A4 show. They were all first gen members so it had a big impact.

Time.

+ an eager new generation:

Kidding aside, I expected it to be much worse. I figured there would be at least one more big name in that list (maybe even a Matsui).
I also expected more of the older girls to go; Deguchi, Seira, Mieko, etc. Don't get me wrong, it sucks hard to lose so many awesome girls in one go.

Shiitan~~~

Damn, and I was hoping to see her more active in the group this year... this hit me hard.

Early members like Ogiso, Mizuki and KanaKana leaving too. Ogiso was really pushed in mag shoots in 2012, really didn't think she'd grad so early. And Hara. I was expecting her to be one of Team E's aces soon, as E are starting to be shown more now.

They had to announce Kuumin's grad again too. Like I wasn't already thinking about it every day.

But maybe I should be glad with such a mass grad, that not all my SKE faves were wiped out.

aruka · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2013, 03:37:59 PM »

Been anticipating it since the rumors.

And yeah, Ogiso is unexpected. Just why?

Good bye, y'all!

Thank you for being SKE's force all this time... hoping for the better future in front of your steps.

Not what I wanted to wake up to and it seriously hurts. I'm gonna miss all these girls from the bottom of my heart.
