I ACTUALLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS
WHAT IS AKIMOTO YASUSHI THINKING?!
WHAT IS UP WITH THIS PLAN?!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
MY MIND IS TOO BLOWN TO COMPREHEND THIS
WHAT IS HAPPENING???

P.S. WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE?
P.P.S. SNH48? REALLY?!?

CAPSLOCKING BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO EXPRESS MY RAGE AND CONFUSION

I totally predicted this:

I think we'll get to see some girls transferring out of AKB48 to other groups eventually.
Maybe even one massive re-shuffle among all 48 groups?  :lol:  :panic: You never know, Aki-P may wake up bored one day, haha.

 :lol: :lol:

But yeah, craziness. Some epic shuffles, some wtf ones... Will write elaborate comments later.

Post by: almond on August 24, 2012, 02:34:21 PM
There were several conflicting and overlapping lists, but here's what I have from twitter. This is probably at least half misinformation.

Team A
Takahashi Minami - AKB leader
Shinoda Mariko - captain
Nito Moeno
Yokoyama Yui (+NMB)
Kasai Tomomi
Yamamoto Sayaka
Watanabe Mayu
Oshima Ryoka

Team K
Oshima Yuko - captain
Kitahara Rie (+SKE)
Kotani Riho (+NMB)
Mitsumune Kaoru
Miyazaki Miho
Masuda Yuka
Nagao Mariya
Matsubara Natsumi

Team B
Umeda Ayaka - captain
Kojima Haruna
Oba Mina
Iwasa Misaki
Fujie Reina
Kashiwagi Yuki
Minegishi Minami
Ishida Anna (+SKE)

SKE
Kitahara Rie (+Team K)

NMB48
Yokoyama Yui (+ Team A)

HKT
Ota Aika

JKT
Takajo Aki
Nakagawa Haruka

SNH
Miyazawa Sae
Suzuki Mariya


There was also a report of a graduation in October of Sato Natsuki, Kobayashi Kana, Chikano Rina, Suzuki Mariya and Sato Amina, but given that there was also a report of Mariyannu moving to SNH, I don't know wtf is going on.

Revised list courtesy of Yahoo:

Takahashi Minami - AKB leader (unclear if part of team or not)

Team A
Shinoda Mariko - captain
Yokoyama Yui (+NMB)
Otani Riho (+NMB)
Iwata Karen
Nakamata Shiori
Kasai Tomomi

Team K
Oshima Yuko - captain
Kitahara Rie (+SKE)
Abe Maria
Muto Tomu
Akimoto Sayaka
Matsui Jurina (+SKE)

Team B
Umeda Ayaka - captain
Ishida Anna (+SKE)
Kojima Haruna
Oba Mina
Ichikawa Miori
Kato Rena

SKE
Kitahara Rie (+Team K)

NMB48
Yokoyama Yui (+ Team A)

HKT
Ota Aika

JKT
Takajo Aki
Nakagawa Haruka

SNH
Miyazawa Sae
Suzuki Mariya


Grad announcement seems to have been a hoax. Muto Tomu is probably a typo and should have been Mitsumune Kaoru.


Also, prediction - they've announced 6 people today for each team. It'll probably be at least 6 a day and increase the total to 18+ members. Also predicting announcement of new stages for erryone.


EDIT - fixed my own typos lol

seriously... what the f*ck is this...
this is just.. too much
it's still day one, and tomorrow we will hear another "you don't want to hear"
I think there will be more SKE members that move to AKB, maybe kinchan and matsumoto rina (judging from anna moving to AKB)

I don't think they would actually do it, WOULD THEY? They can't take Takamina out?! Major members are major members, it could still ruin AKB no matter how popular the members are. It's too much of a change..!

I think the AKB list is fully out. I wouldn't be surprised to see shuffles of SKE (and maybe even NMB) tomorrow. Perhaps announcement of full Team H and new Team KIII as well.

This is absolutely shocking. Don't know what to say about this, and this is only the first day. We'll get more and more (most likely unpleasant) announcements for the next two days.


The new era really, really has started, even before the concert ends and Maeda's departure.

everyone go to tumblr or twitter or anywhere you can here about akb48.... reshuffle is happening oh and yeah it is still not on tokyohive...

there is no announcement about takamina graduating but she is kind a representative of akb48 but if she is still member or not there is still no announcement about that and about the graduation on october its just a rumor no official evidence i think togisaki san will be posting an email at google + JUST TO CLEAR THAT......

Pretty much this. Shuffle happened before, so it was only a matter of time..


I hope this is the end of Warota, with Harugon going abroad. Anyway, still waiting on an actual, honest to god, official source. I wanna know if these graduation rumors are true or not.

Team Ogi was retweeting the asahi_nmb48 tweets about the Ogi Pro members, so...

Also, Takamina's made a statement. Anyone wanna translate?

高橋みなみさん「たぶんきっといま会場のみなさんとわたしたちは同じ気持ちで、困惑しているのですけども・・・・。今回また組閣が行われました。いろんな変動がありました。見ての通りです」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「兼任になるメンバー、移籍のメンバーたくさんいます。この状況は誰も知りませんでしたが・・・東京ドームというこの場所はゴールであり、新たなスタートラインです」(続く)
(高橋みなみさん続き)「新しく何かを始めなければいけないと思います。その形がこの組閣だったのではないでしょうか。今回、チーム4がなくなり、元の形に戻りました。それはもっともっとみんながもまれたほうが成長できると思ったからだと思います。まだ始まったばかりです」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「ですが、誰もマイナスにはとらえていないと思います。ただ、まだ理解していないだけです。なので、いまこのように並びました。兼務のメンバーもたくさんいるし覚えることも増えてくると思います。ですが、新しくAKB48が生まれ変わり、前に進むためにこの形になりました」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「どういうふうにまとめていいか思いつきません。ですが、新しい道は続きます。こうして、チームA・K・Bそして姉妹グループが新たな形になりました。もっとパワーアップして、今いるこの場所が安心できる場所だったかも知れませんが、そこにいては成長は止まってしまいます」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「この形になって、また新たなAKB48、そして48グループとして生まれ変わりたいと思います。どうぞこれからも応援してください。よろしくお願いします(場内拍手)」 ※ファンの人たちの驚き、メンバーの動揺を一所懸命落ち着けようとしている様子が感じられました。

But this shuffle, just, I can't believe it :lol:

About the graduation, I think it's just a rumor.
Let's all think positively that it's just a damn rumor :lol:

if that's true...then who'll be team b's ace?

Obviously, it's either Kashiwagi or Kojima
It'd be nice, wouldn't it? :P

@ bunny_rabbit : i think paruru or yukirin. personally, i prefer yukirin. she's popular. #3 in election (with very slight margin from mayu) and she's team b original member..

Well, I guess it gets interesting from here,huh? :P

A couple of my faves are in Team K now like Haruu, Matsubara, Amina, Yuko, & Maeda...

Should be fun to see the dynamics between the new teams. :thumbsup

Also, Takamina's made a statement. Anyone wanna translate?

高橋みなみさん「たぶんきっといま会場のみなさんとわたしたちは同じ気持ちで、困惑しているのですけども・・・・。今回また組閣が行われました。いろんな変動がありました。見ての通りです」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「兼任になるメンバー、移籍のメンバーたくさんいます。この状況は誰も知りませんでしたが・・・東京ドームというこの場所はゴールであり、新たなスタートラインです」(続く)
(高橋みなみさん続き)「新しく何かを始めなければいけないと思います。その形がこの組閣だったのではないでしょうか。今回、チーム4がなくなり、元の形に戻りました。それはもっともっとみんながもまれたほうが成長できると思ったからだと思います。まだ始まったばかりです」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「ですが、誰もマイナスにはとらえていないと思います。ただ、まだ理解していないだけです。なので、いまこのように並びました。兼務のメンバーもたくさんいるし覚えることも増えてくると思います。ですが、新しくAKB48が生まれ変わり、前に進むためにこの形になりました」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「どういうふうにまとめていいか思いつきません。ですが、新しい道は続きます。こうして、チームA・K・Bそして姉妹グループが新たな形になりました。もっとパワーアップして、今いるこの場所が安心できる場所だったかも知れませんが、そこにいては成長は止まってしまいます」
(高橋みなみさん続き)「この形になって、また新たなAKB48、そして48グループとして生まれ変わりたいと思います。どうぞこれからも応援してください。よろしくお願いします(場内拍手)」 ※ファンの人たちの驚き、メンバーの動揺を一所懸命落ち着けようとしている様子が感じられました。

Here are some things Takamina said :


Yeah, something like that. Not too sure :D

But it says 'New Cabinet Making Presented For Tokyo Dome Concert'

CABINET ? O.O

Weirdest thing is the new captains imo. Keeping Sayaka in team K but making Yuko the captain? Guess Umechan is my new fave captain then.

Don't get the wrong idea, but are you sure that this is really true? We clearly don't have enough evidence to prove it, you may find it in Twitter and in Tumblr but we don't really know if it is true or not. This doesn't prove anything yet.

I will have to agree with saeyukilover, it's just a rumor and usually all will be revealed in tokyohive.

And besides, with this whole arrangement with the teams would lose a lot of fans and it would actually bring a huge downfall to AKB(maybe it woul)

If it were true, I don't like this at all, I hate changes that's happening this year 2012.

And not to mention, I will agree with kahem; I really disagree with all the changes.

In a second I lose my TwinTower, my OTP, I lose Sae to Shangai, I lose my Team K trio. Everything just ruined in few seconds!!! I don't even..... I think my AKB48 fandom ends right here at this moment. It was nice 1,5 years.... Well, I always cared about Team K and Sayaka and Sae anyway.... but.... just what is there to fangirl over now??? Part of my life was taken away  :ptam-hbk:

What is this, I don't even...

This is insane. Some I can't make any sense out of.  :? Some are pretty exciting and intriguing. :twothumbs
The captain changes are pretty solid. Mariko for Team A (oh goodness you can't forget about that epic speech), Yuko for K (she's #1, what do you expect) and Umecchan for B (taking advantage of momentum from #16th in senbatsu, and Yukirin never even acts like a captain (not that that's a bad thing))
Team compositions are nice. A and K are great already, B has potential.

The GROUP changes are what bothers me. I'm all good with Rie's SKE position, the image is just right. But the rest? wtf. Akicha and Sae especially. They could lose their places in senbatsu when Japanese fans won't have constant connection to them. Generally, I'm worried about their chemistry with all the other members. Sasshi worked it out with HKT, so I guess Aika has it in the bag. JKT and SNH is gonna be a hassle, learning another language and all.

Conclusion? Aki-P does what he pleases. :P

I think this is obviously a permanent transfer. Just look at Akicha's expression at the front page of this thread.
We all know that Aki-P said that the study abroad program is for members who wish to apply, and I think with that expression, Akicha didn't apply to study abroad or maybe she did apply but not to Jakarta. CMIIW.

Despite this fact, I still want and hope Akicha to go back to AKB48 since simply it's the group where she belongs.

MODERATOR NOTE: CHILL OUT

The shuffles have happened before, so this one was just a matter of time. Something big was going to happen at Tokyo Dome, because AKB always goes big. It's ok to be upset, but seriously, this isn't really a shock at all. Have faith, AKB & Company aren't run by some small-time idiots.

The girls that are going abroad almost assuredly asked to go. They couldn't possibly send them against their will. I doubt these are permanent moves, also. It'd be a hell of a thing to make girls move abroad for good.

Save for "Saeyaka", it's going to be business as usual for the other "pairings" or whatever. Seriously.

WTH??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I've said it before and I'll say it AGAIN!!!! Akimoto Yasushi does  NOT understand WHAT FANS want!!! He does whatever he wants!!!!! That is why I'll always hate the guy!! (sorry but these are my feelings!!
Kasai Tomomi to team A. I like that, but I'm sure she is upset about it.
Takamina GM?!?! I'm happy, she deserves it, but I'm sure that is not what she wants. Adding more pressure on her??? Aki - P?!?!!?
Minegishi Minami...... Transfered AGAIN?!?!?!!?! I still remember like it was yesterday when she cried because she was transfered. And leaving Takamina and Kojiharu.......... Damn......
Kojima Haruna transfered..... GOD?!?!?! Separated from Takamina.... I'm worried about Takamina, first Maeda grad. and now this!!!!!!!! AGHHH!!
Oshima Yuko new captain. Okay she deserves it, but again not what she wants. More pressure on her too. What, now we expect Oshima and Takamina collapsing on stage?!?
Why Akimoto Sayaka is not the captain anymore.. You can't tell she she doesn't deserve it!!!!
Kashiwagi Yuki... Can't say I'm disappointed she is not the captain anymore.....
Umeda Ayaka new captain.... Nothing to say about it... Don't really know the girl..... BUT I'm happy for her... Ganbarre!!!
Shinoda Mariko new captain... Finally some spotlight on her!!!
Watanabe Mayu transfered.... well I don't like her, but I'm sad she will be separated from Yukirin, cuz I know they are close....
AND finally.... The biggest S**T off all!!!! Akicha transfered to JKT48?!?!! Are you kidding me. It's hard enough to sing in english...... and now she is transfered to Indonesia?!?! And Miyazawa Sae to SNH48???/ This is...... I can't..... China..... SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!!?
Akimoto Yasushi..... GET A BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: almond on August 24, 2012, 04:54:57 PM
Interesting thing I noticed.

If you take out Takamina (who was moved to Queen of All) and the girls not in (or transferred out of) AKB, you get something very interesting:


K - Oshima Yuko
A - Watanabe Mayu
B - Kashiwagi Yuki

----
A - Shinoda Mariko
B - Kojima Haruna
K - Itano Tomomi

----
A - Kasai Tomomi
K - Kitahara Rie
B - Minegishi Minami

----
A - Yokoyama Yui
B - Umeda Ayaka

K - Akimoto Sayaka
----

First we have the girls evenly divided between the 3 teams to spread out popularity levels.

Then we have what I refer to as the "oh crap, all of Team A got voted and everyone else was SKE" shuffle:

K - Sato Amina
K - Kuramochi Asuka
B - Shimazaki Haruka
K - Masuda Yuka
B - Iwasa Misaki
K - Nakaya Sayaka
K - Nakata Chisato
K - Miyazaki Miho
K - Nagao Mariya
B - Fujie Reina
K - Kobayashi Kana
K - Maeda Ami
A - Tano Yuka
B - Katayama Haruka
K - Muto Tomu
B - Ishida Haruka
A - Matsui Sakiko
B - Yamauchi Suzuran
A - Nito Moeno
B - Oba Mina
B - Ichikawa Miori
B - Oya Shizuka
A - Sato Sumire
B - Komori Mika


I find these things interesting XD

Also of note is that girls in the "gaps" between the A-K-B pattern were moved - #4 Sasshi ->HKT, #10 Sae -> SNH, #17 Akicha -> JKT (off slightly in the order, but probably the only to apply)


tl;dr - the election decided the shuffle. Management, I'm on to you

As for team A. It's sad everyone is gone & only Takamina and Mariko remain the same!! T_T

Mayu new team A ace (kinda saw that coming)

So many changes though, itll take awhile to get used to. The team stages will def feel different.

(yes, I should be working)

Senbatsu line up, using GIVE ME FIVE as the most recent real senbatsu lineup (not the push all the new girls one):

Team A - 5 members (Mayu, Mariko, Takamina, Kassai, Yuihan)
Team K - 4 members (Yuko, Tomochin, Jurina, Kitarie)
Team B - 3 members (Yukirin, Kojiharu, Miichan)
SKE - 2 members (Jurina, Rena)
NMB - 1 member (Sayanee)
HKT - 1 member (Sasshi)
JKT - 1 member (Akicha)
SNH - 1 member (Sae)

(Jurina counted twice due to double duty)

I've been thinking the same as almond-san -after I spent some time to chill my head and heart from this shocking news- this shuffle was done to balanced the popularity level...
now the question is : will it works or not? I guess time will answer that question...

as for the members who got transfered to another country, I think -and hope- it's just a temporary as the part of "student transfer" program...

Post by: kuronekosan on August 24, 2012, 05:31:00 PM
OMG!!!!! I was enjoying my Friday night, thought I'd read some fanfics, and then BAM!!!  :shocked This! THIS!! This heart-attack, stroke inducing bit of news hits me like a bullet train!!  :banghead: Ugh...  :badluck: Shock aside, I think we can see where they're going with this. The reshuffling definitely has something to do with Maeda's graduation. Probably to ensure the popularity of AKB48 doesn't die out. They'll need to fill in that void with better quality performances and appealing members so fans won't lose interest. It'll definitely need some getting used to, but it's happened in 2009, so we'll survive.

The abolishing of team 4 may be due to the fact that they're ALL juniors. Like before, some senior members were transferred to the THEN new team B. Remember? They had seniors to guide them. But team 4 does not. So by doing this, Aki-P is probably hoping that they'll gain more. Each team will have seniors to guide them, whilst also having newer and "fresher" members. As for your favourite pairings being split up.....well look at it this way. It's not like they've graduated. They're still in the 48 family and we'll still be able to watch them.(I hope) And if they're such good friends like everyone says they are, then they'll still keep in touch no matter the different schedules and distance.

For senior members switching teams....Watanabe Mayu in team A? Wow....Are they grooming her to be the next ace? But the current Centre, Oshima Yuko is in team K and she's doing just fine. The best conclusion I can come up with, is that they are trying to even out the groups. Making sure there are enough popular members to interest fans in each team, while also having juniors that can be guided by their seniors. Like making sure everyone has an equal opportunity to shine? Since each group is equally divided in terms of skill and popularity? That is, if they can grasp it.

And the captain positions? Well, I'm guessing he's giving other members a chance to shine. For me, I think that the previous captains fulfilled their roles wonderfully. I don't know why some think that Kashiwagi Yuki isn't captain material. Testimonies from other members clearly proves she's a great leader. With the re-shuffling of the groups, it means that new leadership should also be elected in order to bring about a dramatic change. At least, I think that's what he's planning. With the previous captains, the teams will not have that "RESTART" that Aki-P is aiming for. So a COMPLETE change is inevitable.

I'm especially shocked with the transfers OUT of AKB48 though. THAT was the most shocking. If they're transferred cause they applied for the overseas study, then I'll respect their decision. But what's up with Oota Aika moving to HKT??!! Was it requested?  Or is it some sort of back up for Sashihara over there? As for Takamina....well, only time will tell. Aki-P is DEFINITELY forcing fans to pay attention to the WHOLE 48 family. Not only AKB. What else could he gain by sending popular AKB members to newer groups such as JKT or SNH? That is, if the raging fans don't give up on AKB entirely. A bold but risky move as always. Sigh. I can't wait to see what happens on the last day of the concert.(Sarcastic)  :fainted:

One thing's for sure. 2012 is the year of change. 2013 will determine whether it's for better or worse....

What interest me more is the possibility of Takamina becoming part of management. I always thought that it would be nice if a member is included in management after their graduation or something. Now it might have been the case that we get one while Still being a member! The "Cabinet" she mentioned also interest me immensely. I believe this will bring a different perspective to management as well, which is always a good thing.

As for the reshuffle itself, I do not think it perfect, but not really unacceptable, as it is stated that it happened before, & was probably no less painful to members & fans as is this one. There were many surprise, especially some of the transfers to foreign sister groups, but hopefully it will all end up well. My hope is that the three transferred are on a study abroad program, & that it last no more than half a year.

I am really excited to see Ishida Anna in Team B thou; Anna never taking off is one of the biggest surprise to me within all AKB (the other being Sumire), & hopefully this move will help re-jump-start her carrer, as she is still only 16 & have potentials.

It probably really tough for the Team 4 members to have their team disbanded entirely. However, Team 4 always felt somewhat out of place for me; by having the youngster of Team 4 spread out between the original teams, this reshuffle offer future growth & stability to the original teams, instead of heading down a pathway of potentially having a Team 4 Goliath towering over the dwarfing & aging original teams. I do felt it is a bit unfair for Yuko to be named captain thou, as she do wished to graduate; hopefully Sayaka can be reinstated soon.

Hopefully, this will all lead to the betterment of AKB as an organization.

I'm wondering if, assuming new stages are going with the shuffle, we should start thinking of girls as not "Team Captain" but rather "Stage Captain".

Takahashi Minami was captain of A6
Shinoda Mariko will be captain of A7

Akimoto Sayaka was captain of K6
Oshima Yuko will be captain of K7

Kashiwagi Yuki was captain of B5
Umeda Ayaka will be captain of B6

Perhaps he'll be shuffling after each stage now. I think that would be really interesting.

^LOL! Nice catch!  :lol:


Let's see... For my own piece of mind to get a better picture of the new teams.

Team A
Like: 7
Neutral: 10
Don't like: 5
Score: +2

Team K
Like: 4
Neutral: 13
Don't like: 6
Score: -2

Team B
Like: 7
Neutral: 9
Don't like: 7
Score: 0
 
So yeah, based on first impressions by the member list only I'd say New New Team A is my favorite by far at the moment.  :thumbup


Just realized the future of French Kiss may be at stake too!  :panic:

If you take out Takamina (who was moved to Queen of All) and the girls not in (or transferred out of) AKB, you get something very interesting:


K - Oshima Yuko
A - Watanabe Mayu
B - Kashiwagi Yuki

----
A - Shinoda Mariko
B - Kojima Haruna
K - Itano Tomomi

----
A - Kasai Tomomi
K - Kitahara Rie
B - Minegishi Minami

----
A - Yokoyama Yui
B - Umeda Ayaka

K - Akimoto Sayaka
----

First we have the girls evenly divided between the 3 teams to spread out popularity levels.

Then we have what I refer to as the "oh crap, all of Team A got voted and everyone else was SKE" shuffle:

K - Sato Amina
K - Kuramochi Asuka
B - Shimazaki Haruka
K - Masuda Yuka
B - Iwasa Misaki
K - Nakaya Sayaka
K - Nakata Chisato
K - Miyazaki Miho
K - Nagao Mariya
B - Fujie Reina
K - Kobayashi Kana
K - Maeda Ami
A - Tano Yuka
B - Katayama Haruka
K - Muto Tomu
B - Ishida Haruka
A - Matsui Sakiko
B - Yamauchi Suzuran
A - Nito Moeno
B - Oba Mina
B - Ichikawa Miori
B - Oya Shizuka
A - Sato Sumire
B - Komori Mika

I think I dehydrated a little. jesus christ.
I'm not unhappy with the shuffle-- i think that's how akip can maintain akb always "new" but getting used to this is gonna be hard. i no longer have a favorite team. i'm quite happy for mayuyu being in team A!

Just yesterday before falling asleep i was thinking about the reshuffle and thinking Kaoru suited team K. akip heard my prayers!!!!

- surprised hirata rina didn't get promoted. she's a sweetie.
- SNH sounds like a better idea than JKT, but Akicha's and Harugon's efforts will be much more appreciated there, honestly.
- happy for Marina! like i said the first time i saw her performing, she's good stage presence. I WANT TO THE MORE OF HER.
- team 4 disbandment was needed. they were a mess, i got really disappointed. :/

now let me die in a corner cuz i have way too many bitter feelings about this.

Thinking about it, and I'm really trying to look at this positively now. I'm kind of excited for the new teams... It's also been revolving around my head lately after finding this news. I mean things like, "How well is Yuko going to lead as Team K's new captain?" or "How well Umeda Ayaka going to lead Team B?" or "How well is Mariko going do as Team A's new leader?" or "How are the music videos for Team A/K/B going to work out?" Oh, but members other than Jurina and Watanabe Miyuki being in two teams/groups is interesting as well. This will definitely get me to support other groups as well, eventually.

Before, I was just plain upset (silently crying mentally and causing myself a huge headache), thinking, "What the hell is going through Aki-P's head right now?" Somehow reading posts on this topic here and watching a few of AKB's documentaries like "The Future 1mm Ahead" made me feel better about it...

But for some reason, I feel really concerned for Paruru, even if she's still placed in a team... I don't think there's anything wrong with her right now that should make me worry, but I guess she would be considered my ex-Team 4 oshi...

Besides that, they'll still be making music videos that include all three teams somehow, right? So I think it'll be fine this way as well.

One last thing though, the only part I'm still upset about is Sae and other members, like Akicha, transferring to overseas sister groups and the said members graduating in the fall. (Or so I've heard...)

BUT OTP MUST NOT AND WILL NOT FALL. WE MUST KEEP SUPPORTING THEM. :fainted: :pleeease: :farofflook:

...SKE shuffling... I really hope it's not going to break my heart further. (Although I'll adapt.) I hope it doesn't affect Jurina too much either, she's had a lot of stress hasn't she?

Ah, the good old "shuffles making everyone go t-rex" announcement.

Goes to Team B list... sees Umechan captain. ooook... getting pulled between feelings of joy and sadness. :nervous
Ah, Yuki is still there. Mayuyu sent to Team A. doh! :doh:

Looks at overall groups (throws away emotions).
Team A looks much stronger. Lotsa next-gen talent there.
Team K still has the main core at least. I think they'll rebuild faster than the others.
Team B gets shafted again, losing Mayu and Yuka. :cry: They also got a load of members I don't like in some way or another (probably a lot of ppl thinking that). At least they got a nice hopeful batch of Team 4'ers.

Aki-p did say some time ago "yeah, you could just stay like this and turn average. But you can also reset and go to the next level".
So even though I'm crazy about the Mayu/Yuki pair-up, it may be better for them to continue in individual areas. And it's not like they'll be away from each other long, they'll probably be in a lot of future singles/shows/stuff together.

All this member cross-grouping is making it complicated.

Also, Yui in NMB stuff. Massive laughter attack imminent. :D

I'm excited, for the most part. I think this will liven things up a little bit. The new Team A is so overpowered. :lol: So many awesome girls in A, can't wait! Team K looks interesting, too. Kaoru is a terrific addition. This Muto Tomu girl is also a rising star. Good that she's in, too. The new Team B looks very diverse. They could be VERY interesting. It really does feel like an upgrade all-around except for no Sae.

Sae to SNH is one thing I'm not happy about though. I think it's a waste of her time and talent. Akicha and Harugon to JKT is also a waste of time, but I'm not a Harugon fan and Akicha's sourpuss attitude at the senbatsu sosenkyo really put a damper on my fandom of her, so meh. :sweatdrop: The exchanged members so far are kinda cool I guess, with one exception that I'm SUPER excited about: Kitarie to SKE. I love Kitahara so much, but I feel like she hit a wall inside of AKB. There was just no room or way for her to really express herself. This move to SKE opens up a huge door for her. I'm VERY happy about this. It gives her another dynamic to thrive in and I think she could do very well in SKE. I am very hopeful this will be fruitful for her because she more than deserves it.

I think tomorrow, SKE is going to get it as seen from that seemingly unintentional edit of Ishida Anna on the SKE web site. I really love Team S and Team KII and would prefer they didn't get shuffled, but if it happens, then it fucking happens. 2009 proved that Team Shuffles can bring new life and energy into these groups. While it's not what I want it may not be a bad thing, and ultimately, I'm all for whatever keeps these groups alive and well and interesting for as long as possible. We have a terrific set of girls in these groups and team swaps don't change that. :thumbup

Edit: Oh, and as for Team 4 disbanding, as much as I love love LOVE some of the Team 4 girls I'm not sad to see that happen at all. Team 4 was shafted form beginning to end. Them being absorbed into AKB for real will be a good thing.

Change is always a little threatening, but I still love the AKB48 empire personally, so I'll roll with the punches and see what happens.

I prettied up the first post, to make it easier to read, and find the placement of members.

Anyway, I used to favor A/K over B, because Mayu alone couldn't save B for me. However, it looks like A will be the odd one out this time, even with two of my Oshi Trinity in there. B is looking pretty good overall, and K is just stacked. It'll be interesting to see what happens with SKE tomorrow (if anything, but dat Anna pic), and what they could possibly announce after this. New stages sure would be dandy, though. MaYui unit, I WANNA BELIEVE~

To pursue her dreams. To move forward and take on a new challenge.

What is the point of sending members overseas? HOW DO THEY EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER.

To guide the others into becoming better idols. Teach them how everything works. JunLin in Morning Musume caught on quickly enough. I'm sure Akicha and Haruka will receive a warm welcome.

What is the point of going back to three teams instead of sticking to 16/team?

Having regular unders for the same stage will improve the quality of the performances and it won't tire them out as much. For example, Oshima Ryoka subbed in pretty much every stage every day. That's rough. By having three oversized teams they won't have to rely on random KKS as much, because the regular team members can sub for each other in case someone's absent.

Yukirin gets replaced, Takamina general manager? What does that even mean, managing duties?
That's not really the responsibility of a performer.

Takamina has moved beyond being a performer. She's the backbone of a 300 member group. She's an entertainment figure as well. This new position, whatever it entails, will surely benefit her in her future career, whatever it may be.

Was it stated? I can't say because I wouldn't know, but it would have to be more solid than "maybe she asked for it for the study abroad thing.."

Yeah, but.. How do they talk to each other?

I thought that was the point of having multiple teams and kenkyuseii? Also, I don't think this point is really valid, because if there was a Team 4, they would have to divide the theater shows 4 ways instead of 3, so moot point :|

I actually was thinking of this, too. I think this is a foreshadow of her future career with AKB.

1. Yes, Akicha commented on G+ (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=20339.msg1084038#msg1084038)
2. Yes, there will be language barrier at first, of course. However, there are interpreters, body language and I'm sure they'll receive plenty of training. Millions of people move abroad every year.
3. I don't really understand your argument. I mean, there are more girls focusing on a single stage right now. 23 people in a team means that 7 of them can be absent without any problems. 23 girls can focus on their respective stage so the performances should become better. In addition, even the current kenkyuusei will have less shows to learn.

Just saw it right before your post, LoL. :D

Although I always doubt the validity of these kinds of posts because they're monitored(she can't exactly say that she doesn't want to do it), but I'll just take this for it's face value, I guess :|

What I meant was that, you said that members can rest if needed, but what I'm saying is that they technically had an extra day of rest with Team 4 because of Team 4's theater shows. But now that there is no Team 4, each team has to go an extra day to fill in the gap, which I believe offsets the "7 people can rest" argument.

I didn't feel it was like that, I like having conversations about things like this  :on lol:

Post by: SomethingWild on August 24, 2012, 10:19:54 PM
Yeah, we'll never know the real truth behind everything. Blog posts and G+ posts may not contain the full truth. However, we know for a fact that Akicha has been to France twice, she's been to the USA and Macau. Let's just say those trips are what inspired to travel abroad once again and to take on this challenge. She's a bit of an airhead, but I think her 'my pace' character will prevent her from stressing out too much. I think she'll do fine. And Haruka is there too, so they won't be completely alone anyway.

Btw, by "being absent" I didn't mean rest. The top girls are usually away doing other jobs. Anyway, my point is that some of the kenkyuusei have to perform every day, regardless of which stage it is. With this new system that will be less of an issue because you have 'back-ups' build into the team already.

I get your point now. In that sense, yes, in some ways having a fourth time means less theater performances for some of the girls. I guess my point was more related to the kenkyuusei who have to do all the shows. To them, it doesn't matter which team is performing since they should be able to perform in all the stages. So yeah: build-in subs specific to a team/stage + less teams(=less stages) = better performances and less kenkyuusei stress. That's how I see it anyway, haha.

I find it interesting that also people were transferred out to HKT, SNH, and JKT, only NMB and SKE tranferred into the home group. You'd think after the wild success of WMatsui that they'd know that a struggling sister group needs its aces shoved into the AKB home fanbase to get on its legs. New Ship was moving in that direction, too, but with this shuffle, they're still basically isolated from the rest of the franchise.

This... At first I was shocked - though I was expecting the shuffle - but then I thought a lot about it, and I came to think about this as a new challenge for all 48 family. This will be fresh, new, and they will have to strengthen their bonds within new teams... I hope they will succeed.

Team 4 disbanded... I quite like a few members, but this team felt out of place to me, if to be really honest, so I think their addition to A K B teams is a pretty good thing.

Akicha and Harugon to JKT...... It might work out... Maybe.

Sae in SNH......... I have no comments about this one... But, she might be good addition from their POV, coz she's the genki type, she will be something like Sasshi in HKT..

Talking about HKT addition... Poor Lovetan... She dropped lots of spots in Senbatsu, and now she's out... At least she and Sasshi will be together...

About teams... I will copy someone (sorry for not remembering the person's name) and do it like this:

Team A

Like: 7
Neutral: 10
Dislike: 5

Team K

Like: 8
Neutral: 12
Dislike: 3

Team B

Like: 8
Neutral: 11
Dislike: 5

So, um, my favorite team is Team K, if by members I like, and other two are neutral so far... But my favorite team was always Team K, because of Yuko-sama...

Now, about separate members..

Takahashi Minami - I'm really glad she was finally acknowledged as the person AKB48 and its sister groups always leaned on. Now she is officially the leader of AKB48, and to tell you the truth, even though I'm happy, I'm also concerned. I mean, now she has this huge burden on her shoulders - and she always had one, as the unofficial AKB48 leader and also Team A captain - but now that burden might be bigger, as she's now the leader officially. At least she won't be burdened by the captaincy, though I don't think she won't be involved in it. But still, now she can share the leadership of Team A with Mariko. But that's only my opinion that she won't stay away from leading the team together with our troll.

Shinoda Mariko - I think it's good that she was finally promoted to being a captain. I sincerely believe she deserves this position as the 1.5 gen member. She did a lot good things in AKB48, and her speech at Elections was inspiring and touching, brave and encouraging. I think we might expect to have stronger Team A than before, having Mariko as the captain, and Takamina as the supportive captain. Two strong and leading personalities are always better than one. I think the same about Team K, but about that later. Anyway, I'm really happy for Mariko. I just hope her modeling won't interrupt too much with captaincy, as she really missed out lots of theater performances before.

Iwata Karen - I think it's a good addition, as she suits Team A image, imho. However I look at it, she's not that cute to be in B, or not that strong to be in K, so yeah, Team A suits her best.

Iriyama Anna - You know, she was one of my favorite Team 4 members before MG3, and now... She might be between top 3 members of that team!!! Yeah, she made a huge leap forward in my rankings, and so I'm happy she was added to Team A. Again, like Karen, her image suits Team A the best, so um... I'm happy!  XD

Oshima Ryouka - I somehow thought: if she ever to be added to some of the teams, that's Team K or Team B. Team A decision surprised me, yet in a good way. In K we know her usually taking Yuko-sama's spot, but of course, she's no way near that good as Yuko-sama. In B... She might take Okuchan's position (as Shihorin suits better Harugon's, but about that later). But that did not happen. I somehow never thought about the shuffle thing, so... It's a good surprise, as I don't need two Oshima's in Team K, and there is only one Oshima in my heart  :wub:

Kasai Tomomi - I'm puzzled a bit. I started liking her in Team B, yet I think she does not fit the kawaii image, except her voice. And even though Team K is her home, she did not fit there imo, coz she just doesn't have that strength.. Or that's what I think. Yet in Team A.. It might be good, but... I would have placed her in NMB... *gets shot by Tomo~mi fans* But yeah, within AKB48 boundaries, Team A might be the best choice.

Kikuchi Ayaka - Now this one... I would have left Ayarin in Team K.. Imo she fits the tsuyoi image, but oh well.. Still it's better than Team B, though Team B is her home... But really... Team B is too cute for her (and for Masuda Yuka, but about her later), and Team A... Well, we'll see what future brings..

Sato Sumire - I think it's a good choice, as imo Suuchan might bring mature image very well, and even better than kawaii.. But who knows, I might be wrong. She was pretty good in Team B, and I liked Triple Sato conbi in it, now it won't be this way.. Well, let's wait for what the future will bring us...

Sato Natsuki - Now this is a NO. I would have loved Nacchi back in Team K... Why?!  :banghead: Well, at least it's double Sato team, but still.... *sulks in the corner, as she wanted NacchiNatsu awesomeness...*

Nakatsuka Tomomi - Yes, I think it's the best team for her, she suits Team A imagine imho, so let her be. I like this choice.

Nakamata Shiori - Despite her awesome acting in MG2, I still think she suits Team B best... But oh well, I might be wrong, and she might pull the sexy and mature image well... After all, this new shuffle might bring different definitions of new teams, so maybe she fits the new image of Team A...

Nito Moeno - Same as Chris.. I really think this team suits Moeno the best. But we'll see.

Matsui Sakiko - FINALLY. A team she deserves to be in. Her piano skills, mature image and gentleness really fits with what I have in mind about Team A. So I like this addition, and I hope this will bring the best of her.

Yokoyama Yui - She never was that good in Team K, as she lacked the strength and genkiness... I think she suits Team A, and her case is like Maeda's, showing not that much emotions... Yeah, Team A is her team... Imo... And addition to NMB...  :doh: :doh: :doh:

Watanabe Mayu - And this is... N.O. I really want Mayu back in Team B, where she truly belongs... But I understand her being pushed instead of Acchan (or our theories might be wrong, and Yui is the one pushed..), so her addition here might have been a necessity. But if it was a necessity to add something from the top three (like someone deduced), then I'd rather had Yukirin here, but about that later. On the other hand, Mayu seems to be going for the mature image now (though her songs and especially PVs are not that mature - but I have nothing against her, she's one of my favs in now ex-Team B, and I like her singles so far, but I think about them as cute and fun, not mature and adult like), so maybe this is what she needs. Future will tell.

As for other Team A members, I have no comments, I'm not that interested in them to comment about them. Whether they fit this team or not... We will see...

Oshima Yuko-sama - At first I was OMG yes, go girl, Yuko-sama rulez, and etc. But thinking about this decision more carefully... I hope she will be okay.. I mean.. Yuko-sama wanted to graduate.. That would be devastating for AKB48, loosing two aces and No.1 queens... For me it's okay either way, as I'm going to support my oshimen no matter what. But for Yuko-sama herself... She has lots of acting works, CM shootings, appearances in variety shows and other TV shows, also lots of photo shoots and other things. In addition, not only being AKB48 ace, Team K ace and one of the main and most important members, she now will be the captain of Team K. I just hope it won't be too heavy of a burden for her... I think she can lead Team K, and this Team K might be the best of all three teams (she will have Akimoto Sayaka's support in leadership, or that's what I believe in, and Sayaka was an amazing captain, but about that later  XD), adding Yuko-sama's personality, abilities and charisma. Of course, I'm guessing from what they let us see, but I believe in Yuko-sama's leading abilities, just I'm afraid of her health... You know, I don't want her to overwork... This might turn into Yuko-sama worship comment rather than thoughts about this shuffle, so I'm gonna stop here and move on with other members  :grin:

Akimoto Sayaka - For me she will always be one true Team K leader. Don't get me wrong, I love Yuko-sama to death, and I'm kinda happy for her position, but Sayaka... What she had was this position. That's all. Out of Senbatsu, not being promoted much, I just felt like she's being pushed away. And her scandal didn't help. So I was happy when she got back her captaincy. And now she lost it again. Yet I believe she will support Yuko-sama as Takamina will support Mariko. She's a great and wonderful person, that we all love. And even though she will be without her twin tower (that's one of the worst things for Team K, imho), I believe she and Yuko-sama will nurture the strongest and best-dancer team we've ever seen *puts her hopes up*

Itano Tomomi - She stays in K, and I think it's great. She's more pushed to the front than she was in A, and she's getting more lines. I just hope that with new members coming she won't be pushed to the back... But she is one of the main pillars of Team K, so she should be fine. I think Team K suits her best.

Kitahara Rie - Mhm.. I'm not sure about her... I like her addition to SKE, as she has that genki aura in her, but Team K... We'll see.. I would have left her in Team B.

Kuramochi Asuka - Mochi's back to her home, and I think it's a good choice, though I would have left her in Team A. But oh well, this seems a good option too, so let's wait for what the future will bring.

Kobayashi Kana - I'd rather see her in Team b, but I know she belongs with Team K. Nuff said. She just has to be in the same team with Sayaka, nee?  XD

Sato Amina - What...is...this...? I... Yeah, these were my first thoughts when I saw her name being mentioned under the Team K. For me she was not that good in Team B. And I REALLY do not see her in Team K. I would have sent her back to Team A. Like, swap her with Sato Natsuki. Yep, that looks more fitting. But like I already said, these new teams might bring different definitions and images, so who knows. Yet I hope Team K stays to their original status - being the best dancers and the strongest image giving ones.

Shimada Haruka - Now this is a good choice. She really fits K imho. Her genkiness, her actions and her looks. Everything leads to her being Team K member. When I was thinking about what member might go to Team K after Jurina goes back to SKE48 fully, I thought about Shimada. She is even better than Rumi-chan (sorry Rumi fans, I have nothing against her, really. I just liked her better in Team B), so yeah, I'm happy with this addition.

Suzuki Shihori - I'm sorry for those who like her, but she's my one of the least favorite members, so I do not care about her placement. I just hope she doesn't ruin Team K... She was better in B... And instead of replacing Okuchama, she should replace Harugon. Or that's what I think should be. But it won't happen, she's in Team K...  :banghead:

Nakata Chisato, Nakaya Sayaka - ... I would have left them in Team A. They are neutral in my list, but I just had to mention that I do not imagine them doing tough or fast K dances. Yeah, I start loosing hopes Team K will be the strong one...

Masuda Yuka - One of the best things that happened was her addition to K. She belongs here, as she was out of place in Team B. She might do well in Team A, based on Himawari and her duo with Takamina, but I think her home is and always will be K. So I'm happy for her.  :yep:

Matsui Jurina - you know, when she was put in Team K, at first I thought what the hell. But after watching the LODs I understood she's a perfect K member. Well, she has that personality who lets her to connect to different types of people fast, and I think she might have found some bonds with some of the K people. I really am not against her in this team, I just wish her the best, and I think she still suits S the most. Now if SKE48 were to be shuffled... I don't want Rena-sama to be in KII, and I also don't want to see Jurina in KII... But if we deduce by election results, they won't be in the same team, IF SKE will be shuffled.  :panic: Let's hope it's not gonna happen. Jurina, Rena, FIGHTING!  :jphip:

Matsubara Natsumi - The same as Yuka. She belongs in Team K, and I'm happy for her. She's an amazing dancer, she can always pull any dance well, so I'm happy she's back. I just hope she won't be pushed away, yet that's likely to happen. She is one of the less prominent and promoted members... And she didn't even rank... I felt so sad for her.. Let's see what this shuffle brings her.

Miyazaki Miho - Team A was..average for her, imo. She lacked something to be there, maybe the maturity. Or the poise. And Team B... Even though she's crazy, she lacks that cuteness level Team B possesses. But then again, Team K requires the strength and good dance skills. I wonder if she will be able to pull it off... Let's hope for the best.

I'm not too fond of the promoted members. And others are neutral. I just hope they won't ruin K's image...

Umeda Ayaka - WHAT?... WHY?... Wait... Yeah, at first I was shocked and mad, as she's an amazing dancer and sends strong vibes, but then I thought about it and understood it's the perfect time for her to shine and be pushed more. She needs some promotion, and I was happy she ranked, and I think she might do well in Team B. Still, Team K is her home imho. But being a leader is a responsibility one has to carry, and it's like a promotion a bit, nee?  :) She will get more attention, and she really deserves that  :yep:

Kashiwagi Yuki - My poor Yukirin... I liked her as  a captain, and I believe her leadership shaped the now ex-Team B. The new team will be shaped differently, and I hope Yukirin won't be shafted. And she's without her daughter... If it were me, I would have placed her in A, and left Mayu in B. Or left them both in B. But this decision... I hope it won't do her bad...

Ishida Anna - Now that's a nice addition. This girl needed some push forward, and Team B might be a place for her to have that push. I'm not very fond of her, but I can see her between one of the front members in the future. Regarding the deleted information.. She might have even more time to shine, being in Team S. It depends on what the shuffle will look like *puts hopes up for Rena-sama staying in SKE*

Ichikawa Miori - I'm not fond of her, but she's definitely Team B material.

Iwasa Misaki - ...okay...she should have been left in Team A, I think her case is like Sakiko's.

Oba Mina - I'm undecided about her team.. I even thought she's not okay in Team 4... *hides from her fans behind Gekikara*

Oya Shizuka - Shiichan in B?... Where is this world going...?  :doh: :doh: :doh:

Katayama Haruka - I somehow have this image of her, that she fits in any team. So I'm okay with this choice.

Kojima Haruna - I wonder... Is she going to feel out of place, like Kasai did? But this image might suit her, though I would have left her in A... Sadly, Team A has now only two its original members, and NyanNyan is in B... We'll see if this was the right choice. BUT. It might work out, it might.

Komori Mika, Shimazaki Haruka - Team B material.

Tanabe Miku - Back to her home, yet I like her in Team K better.

Nonaka Misato, Fujie Reina - Team A material. I really wish Reinyan would have gone back to A. It's where she fits best imho.

Minegishi Minami - I don't know what to say. At first she was in Team A, and who could say she was bad there? Then she was tossed in Team K. And well, we have to admit she was perfect there. So I believe she will do a great job in Team B, yet I don't want her to be here. As I don't want Kojima to be here too. But like NyanNyan, for Miichan it might work out too.

Watanabe Miyuki - the same case as Jurina. At first I was against it, but after seeing the LODs of my NMB oshimen in AKB, I fell in love with her even more. I think she's a good addition, and actually a perfect Team B material. GO, Milky, GO!

Others... I have no comments. Future will tell.

And so, sorry for this wall of text, but I just had to let the steam off and tell what's on my mind. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I am really pleased for the four girls who put their hands up to go overseas....
Akicha and Harugon going to Jakarta, and Sae and Mariya going to Shanghai.

It's a big decision for each of them, and they will have some homesick days for sure....But takes guts to do this, and stepping outside of their comfort zone will help them in many ways.

I have been following HKT48 and NMB48 a lot lately, and the new additions form AKB48 will be fun to follow. The teams as well as the new members will ultimately shape a new future for all involved.

I was a bit surprised at the  shutting down of team 4, but after reading all the comments in this thread, I think it does strengthen AKB48 to build up the original teams to full strength.

So as Ed Sullivan used to say "Tonight, we have a really big show"............

Saw everything right before going to sleep so I was kind of like FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, but after sleeping on it, I've regained composure. As I said before, the more shocking thing to me is changing of team Captains. alm0nd brought up an interesting point about stage captains vs team captains, so that could be something. But, it's hard for me to accept Yuko and Ume as captains, despite my how much I like them (both in my top 5)--Kashiwagi's the only one I never really saw as a true captain (well, Oba too, but 4's gone now, so w/e lol), so it's kind of jarring, only time will tell. I don't really like the shuffle, and I've said before leading up to Tokyo Dome that a big shuffle, no matter how inevitable, would upset me. I really felt the old teams had amazing dynamics so for this big of a shuffle, it's really off-putting. Not to mention that that configuration of AKB is how I 'grew up' and became a fan. I'm not saying it won't be great or won't succeed in the end, the prior shuffle was met with just as much shock and awe, I'm sure, it will just take some time to get used to and for the dust to settle. I won't stop supporting AKB or call for Aki-P's head on a stick or anything; it's surprising, but nothing to blow my shit over.

The only thing that I am truly angry about and cannot accept quietly is Sae going to China, whether she asked for it or not  :cry:

Ladies and gentlemen, your new teams:
...
After seeing the configuration of teams in pics like this, it makes me so thrilled actually. Will the established image of each team changes or will the new teams keep staying true to that image?

I really like Kaoru and Tomu's addition to Team K. Also the return of some old-Team K members (Mocchi, Yuka, Nattsumii), but still hesitant with Ayarin and disapproving of Sae.
Anyway, I've been a Team K fan all this time and it seems my bias would still be going strong on Team K.

Not to forget, Team A and Team B are also getting more interesting, but it would take longer time for the teams to grow in me.

Pairings separated.. :cry: And you've just posted two of my very top OTPs. :cry: :cry:

Change of teams probably means four things concerning pairings... breaking 'established' OTPs, strengthening 'emerging' OTPs, forming new OTPs, or reviving old OTPs.
For example:
- Breaking, happens to SaeYaka, MaYuki
- Strengthening, may happen to UmeMii and SuuAya
- Forming, may happen to .. ah, still don't have a clue on this case
- Reviving, may happen to Yuki-Haachan
depends on your personal preference of course. 'Establish' and 'emerging' also may have a different meaning in each person too.


By the way... welcome to Indonesia, Akicha + Harugon ! Got terribly mixed feelings about this, but if it's for the best of you two as you've decided willingly, then GANBATTE~!!


Edit:


Another question left from me. What would happen to DiVA, French Kiss, and Warota? Each group lost its member away. Really away.

UOHHH. At last, I finally get to see everyone’s, including Takamina's and Mariko's, reaction about the two being Team A captain and overall leader, but for the others I don’t know. I’m glad to see that Yuko is happy about being captain!...

Somehow it feels like Sae is holding back her tears by smiling? It seems to me that she’s a bit confused about her feelings here... She’s probably enthusiastic about going/transferring but she feels that she’s really going to miss the others. I'm also glad that Akicha isn't too upset about transferring to JKT. (Or she's just really good about hiding her emotions..)

While some others are obvious here, Sayaka seems to have a really strong bond with a lot of the members and the fact about being a captain stuck to her, so she’s crying. I hope she and Yukirin aren’t thinking things like, "I’m not fit to be captain anymore." I don't think that's true? Once a captain, always a captain... right?

However, after reading everyone's posts regarding transfers and the shuffle in general, I feel much better about the transfers now, so I thank you all that have put things together logically. I guess I was just concerned about how Sae (and the transferred members) was(/were) going to interact with the SHN48/JKT48 members.

I've heard that come members are going to graduate in the fall though, I really hope this isn't true...  :-\

I asked this before in IRC and wanted to get a more diverse opinion, but I honestly want to know:  Besides those changing to other groups, what's the big deal with what team someone's in?  Call me ignorant or whatever, but it doesn't seem to me to make ANY difference except for the theater stages, and those don't seem to be that important as far as overseas fans like myself and most of us here.  Singles aren't based in teams, TV shows aren't team-based.  If anything, talent agencies are MUCH more important than teams.  I couldn't tell you what teams half my favorite members were on BEFORE the shuffle because it has almost no impact in how I enjoy, consume, and how I'm exposed to AKB48. 

Am I missing something here?  I don't see the big deal.

Except for those being shipped off to China.  That sucks.
Title: Re: [News] AKB48 SHUFFLE 2012
Post by: Rayle on August 25, 2012, 06:33:43 AM
^ From what I can tell, the main thing about teams is that it forces team members to work together on a more regular basis than any other type of activity, except for maybe dramas. For example, Yukirin wasn't close to her French Kiss fellow members because they were in Team A and she was in Team B. Even being a senbatsu regular doesn't guarantee interactions, as they tend to do their promotional activities in smaller groups and pairs that are decided by available schedule of each girl. But teams have to go through the long process of learning a stage together, and then rehearsing and performing it every few days. That kind of long term interaction inevitably forges bonds and is the platform for many friendships.
That's why Mayu was crying so hard during the original shuffle when Rabutan got transferred to A, and you can see that they aren't as close anymore after the fact. It's similar to when girls were graduating from MM but staying in H!P. There's still a huge gap that opens up simply because they aren't working together as much anymore.

The other important thing about teams is the stages. A lot of stage songs are written specifically for the members in a stage unit, or the general temperament of the team, so having a particular combination of members in a team can make a particular kind of stage song possible. For example, K6's Uhho Uhhoho. No3b formed with the roster it has because they already saw that Kojiharu, Minegishi, and Takamina could work together really well in A4's Junai no Crescendo and H2's Bye Bye Bye.

Similarly, the general temperament of a team can define the image of the members in it. Team K was the house of crazy wild childs, Team A was meant to be more polished traditional idols, and Team B were the quirky girl-next-door types. After the first shuffle, the members had to change themselves to suit the team's image.

Of course, you're not wrong, because Teams don't play that big a role anymore, and it's completely possible to enjoy the fandom without caring about them. Unless you care about pairings, because my first paragraph still stands.

If you really want to know why teams matter, I'd recommend watching To Be Continued, as the girls themselves talk about how the shuffle affected them and how they feel about it. Kasai, Minegishi, and Itano's interviews, specifically.

(My laptop seems to have a problem and disables me from downloading anything and everything.) Or do I have to buy the DVD? I haven't watched the documentary yet, and have only heard of tiny bits of it. They showed the subbed version once before for free near where I lived a long time ago, but unfortunately I didn't know the existence of AKB48 yet and I was too young to go alone even if I did...

I 'know' there's going to be an announcement like this, but I can't help but flip out when I saw it today.

Not pleased with the team shuffles, but I can't say that I disliked it either.


At first team shuffles felt like a really really big change, then I thought about it and turns out it's not that big of a deal (at least to me). Even with the shuffle, in major concerts (like Minogashita.., Setlist Best), stage songs are performed with its original members (unless it was a shuffled unit) or another team who also have the same stage. Unless there will be a new stage coupling the shuffle, we'll just have a messy lineup for the theater performances. Since I don't watch a lot of LODs, except for special ones like birthdays or senshuurakus, so I don't think fans who rarely watch theater perfs should worry too much about this.

Well, the management better come up with new stages to accommodate the new shuffles. I'm all for new stages. There NEEDS to be at least one after all this.

To be honest, there are still two days left for the concert, and I'm more worried about an SKE shuffle. KII had just gotten its original stage and all. To have its members moved around after working so hard for the stage isn't really fair. But on a side note, life isn't fair, and we might get Furukawa doing Kareha no Station  XD.

Some great stories told in those reactions, both sad and happy.

yea.....but Yukirin and Sayaka, a tough night for them. I want to buy each one of them a box of chocalates and a fluffy stuffed animal to cheer them up. But both of them have what it takes to move forward.

As I posted earlier, I am excited for Sae, Mariya, Akicha, and Haruka (TAFKATAFKAH-- The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist Formerly Known as Harugon) because this chance to work in new environments will give them a lifetime of memories. JunJun and LinLin are completely different people because of the time they spent working in Japan, in a very positve way.

^^ Is it just me or Haruka was really happy with her transfer? Just after her name called, she ran away without hesitation and hug JKT memba. Even though these 4 said it's their own decision, only Haruka show that.

And, it maybe out of topic but, when the first shuffle happened in 2009, was it announced on the first day or not? If the answer is yes, were they already perform with new formation after that in the same concert? Since I found a pic between Akicha and Beby of JKT48. So, I expected that they already practiced together

Just want to know...

A lot of personal thoughts here!  It's good, it demonstrates all the love and admiration we feel for these girls!

It looks like non-sense for many of us, but I believe that team shuffles are strictly calculated by Aki-P and his staff.  In the end it is only business, and they are always thinking in how they can catch more attention from media and fans.  Moving members to these foreigners groups are a way to give them more attention from media (and fans) too.  It's easy to imagine that HKT gained popularity with Sasshi (in Google+ we can see sometimes "Murashigessment", maybe inspired by "Sashiharassment"?)

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how these new teams will work.  New bonds, new "kinjirareta futari", new captains...A new chapter in the AKB48 history.

A personal note, Team 4 was not working good as a team, I guess Aki-P thought the same thing.

No, the shuffle was announced at the end of day 3 (Budokan).
The new teams didn't perform until next concert (Yokoyama Arena) several months later.

I guess the shuffle happens when Aki-p thinks the group is getting too boring and the teams need a new feeling to them.
Among the sister groups SKE has more chances to be shuffled first because they're older, IMO
Unless he starts to think NMB/HKT are not working out lol

Title: Re: [News] AKB48 SHUFFLE 2012
Post by: Melchizadek on August 27, 2012, 11:54:58 PM
First, I'm not sure how many people remember, but the announcement that the teams were going to be reshuffled and have extra members in the teams to make up for how busy the top members are - as well as the reasoning behind it - was made as early as February of 2011 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=28213.0). 

Apparently at some point, that plan was dropped in favor of creating Team 4 instead. Now that decision has been reversed, and we're back to that original idea of 3 teams with enough members to have 16 on hand whenever it's time to put on a show. Granted this is a bit different, because there hasn't been any talk of "regular" and "under" members this time around. Still, the basic principle is the same.

Also, the "Study Abroad System" was announced about a month ago (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=30758.msg1068636#msg1068636). In that post, Aki-P asks the members if any would like to study abroad. The members getting transferred out have stated that they volunteered for it. We have no reason to think they didn't take him up on his offer at that time.

Aki-P also said in that post that the period of "study" would be about half a year to a year. So, we should be expecting them to return in 6 - 12 months time.
Title: Re: [News] AKB48 SHUFFLE 2012
Post by: Melchizadek on August 28, 2012, 06:57:32 AM
Yeah, I'm double posting. But, I just remembered something else. Let's take a look at these facts:

1. As stated in my previous post, the reshuffle + large teams announcement was made in February of 2011.

2. The concert that was going to be held at Yokohama Arena on March 25th - 27th of that same year was titled "Takamina ni Tsuite Ikimasu" (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=28401.0). Which means "we follow Takamina"

3. That concert was cancelled because of the earthquake on March 11th.

4. The formation of Team 4 was announced in June of 2011 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=29607.0)


Now, my theory is that the reshuffle and Takamina taking the reins as AKB48 leader was all going to happen at that Yokohama Arena concert. Then, the earthquake happened and the concert was cancelled.

My guess is that - between then and June - Aki-P came up with the Team 4 idea, and decided to try it.

I've seen fan discussion that something needed to be done to improve the quality of the stage performances, as well as talk about how Team 4 just wasn't really taking off popularity wise. Also, Team A was being seriously crippled by Acchan's graduation and Sasshi's transfer.

I'm sure if fans could see it then so could Aki-P. And when better to change gears and announce a new twist on his original plan than at the Tokyo Dome?

Also, any change that has the potential to increase the popularity of my SKE48 Oshimen is a good one as far as I'm concerned.  :P

Post by: Phantom on August 29, 2012, 04:27:42 PM
Frankly I'm surprised in hindsight I didn't see this a shuffle coming. Although I would never have imagined there to be overseas transfers.

For me, the teams doesn't matter all that much. I simply view AKB as a large group. But I can understand why a shuffle is needed. Working in new teams with new people can re-spark your drive and make you want to show of your best side. When you've been in the same team for some time you form groups, you get into lazy routines and so forth. So, I can certainly agree with those that say a shuffle was needed.

Now, the overseas transfers I'm not so sure about. I've argued back and forth on some forums whether or not  the girls got forced, talked into, fooled or simply volunteered for the transfers on their own. We will never know, so I won't touch upon that. Either way, I think especially for Akicha (and Haruka) this is career suicide pretty much. It might, might turn out well. But I don't really see it.

It could work out for Sae, but I don't know. I guess it will depend on how "stationary" she will be in China.

I do wish them all good luck though, but it feels weird AKB being broken up in this way.

Translated Shukan Bunshun(get the popcorn!) article about the recent transfers.

Select Quotes:
Quote
“There was talk of new reformation among staffs before March of 2011. But due to the earthquake, it was postponed and finally realized now.” (AKB correspondent)
- This corresponds to Melchizadek's theory.
Quote
"But as for Miyazawa’s case, she couldn’t decide on her transfer until the last moment. Because she figured that she may not be able to see a bright future if she were to reject this offer, she agreed with the transfer right before the Tokyo Dome concert series started.” (AKB correspondent)
- This is actually how I see this matter.
Quote
"Although Oshima Yuko will replace Akimoto’s captain position, 'Management thinks Oshima’s time as Center will not be very long. The Next generation’s Aces in their minds are Watanabe Mayu, Matsui Jurina and Shimazaki Haruka, and they plan to make them compete against each other.' "
- Fact.

I asked my questions about Transfer to Togasaki

・In China, people who are Anti-Japanese may harass members.→ We protect them with very tight security, so please be assured.
・DiVA’s activities will resume next year. When they release a new single, Sae will join PR activities in Japan
・Sae will play a role equal to Captain, It won’t probably happen that she won’t be selected for Senbatsu or poorly treated by management.
・Members will join AX
・But 4 members won’t join AKB’s singles released after their transfer.
・Because they are eager to join HS events, maybe they will attend HS event in Japan once every three months, if not every time.
・They can continue Blog and Google Plus, but it may be difficult to keep updating Mobame.

–Can you tell me your thought about the next center of AKB48?

Takahashi: For now, I have an impression that the next center will be either of Watanabe Mayu, Matsui Jurina or Shimazaki Haruka….. but I also think we don’t let them to be Center of AKB just because people around them tell them to be Center . How can I put it? I think…. we can see the birth of the Center when fans sentiments are inclined to her. So it may not be a clever choice to name someone, the next Center.

–I totally got what you are thinking! That was a word with such a grave meaning from the the most powerful person after Akimoto-san!

Takahashi: How come~~?? LOL But… though I think he was just joking, Akimoto-san told me that “Being General manager means now I’m a direct boss of you. And that you’re now superior to Togasaki. So when JKT cause some scandals, you are the one who go to Jakarta on behalf of me.”

Takahashi: I knew about Lovetan’s transfer in advance, but didn’t know about other members transfer to overseas groups.

(translation by yours truly)
Quote from: TGSK@G+
I feel like breaking apart a Rubik's cube.
I understand the General Manager's feelings.

Quote from: SaruObasan@G+
Today's (Sept3) AKB48 theater stage was Mokugekisha.
It's been about 10 days since the Tokyo Dome concert ended.
About one week since Acchan's graduation stage.

Today, "SaruOba" received a deep impression.
Just before the last song of the stage, it was planned for just a single comment,
but I would like to present you with General Manager Takahashi Minami's comment.



This is the first Mokugekisha stage since Atsuko graduated.
At the first day of Tokyo Dome,
there was an announcement for another shuffle like 2 years ago.
For us members,
as well as everyone supporting us,
it was quite a shock.
But, unlike 2 years ago..
I'm going to talk about how I personally felt.
I was first to be called out.
2 years ago, I was also firs to be called out; that time, as Captain;
this year I became the General Manager.
At first I was really surprised,
but if you watch, you'll understand whenever the video comes out,
but I laughed.
I thought it was really interesting. I was really looking forward to it.

Honestly, the shuffle 2 years ago was saddening.
Separating from those that you've become so close to after many years,
I only had doubts and worries for such an unknown shuffle.
But 2 years later, with this shuffle,
my excitement just won't stop.

On a completely different topic, consider a Rubik's cube.
When it's solved, don't you want to break it apart?
Mixing up the colours and wanting to redo it.
That's how it feels.
Right now, having taken 2 years,
I believe the teams have solidified.
But, that shall be broken.
For the sake of a new, next chapter.

Actually, I don't know when the new teams will take into effect.
Because we have pride in our current teams,
we can take a new step forward someday.
I am very excited.
And so, I would be happy if everyone would get excited about it.
Just like before, we will continue to move forward,
and continue at our best.
Please continue watching over us.

Apparently, it appears that Akicha and Harugon(gon!) are reading off their palms. I find this amusing :D
Since TGSK now confirmed that they'll be staying for a max of one year, I agree in wondering what they
can really get out of such a short time period. I mean, "learning" a language in 3 months is virtually
impossible.

Yuko → Jurina
Maeda → Mayuyu
Takahashi → Yokoyama
Miyazawa → Shimada
Rena → Shimazaki
Akimoto Sayaka → Yamamoto
Kashiwagi → Milky

This is the second time she made it clear that in her mind, Yokoyama is the successor of Takamina and she is the successor of Oshima.

While it is a bit of a cheap way to start, I kinda like the idea of the 'waiting' stage. We won't have to wait a year to see the new teams in action. I think it'll be good. It'll be really neat if they take songs from AKB, SKE, maybe even SDN stages and mush it all together into something fun. I'm excited for the new teams in general so bring it on! :twothumbs

Teams are looking good. Really damn good. Been seeing TGSK's G+ updates on the Shonichi's, and I'm like wow.

Why is it that I always get a negative first impression on changes in AKB then when it really shows up, it's like "Bitch please, see how awesome we are now 8) " ? Not that it's a bad thing :P

Seriously, it's really nice. Each team is giving off it's unique whole aura which makes it different from the other teams. Each really blends with their teammates on stage. What about in other off-stage activities as a team? Well, seeing the constant G+ posts from 48 family members, everyone makes friends too fast. So that's cleared up. :thumbsup

Chosen captains are right for their job (I still want Sayaka though), and the mix of senpai and kouhai has proven itself over there :)

SKE and NMB are getting some pimpage in the waiting setlists (Tsuyokimono yo, Zetsumetsu, Nagiichi) I'm also curious how they're gonna cramp up 23 names into Team B Oshi :lol:

Still worried about those transferred to sister groups, especially SNH.

Overall, I think each team gives an epic show. :twothumbs

As for me, I loved Team K the most. Not only because of Yuko-sama, but overall they rocked!! I mean, their set list was THE BEST, INTENSIVE, POWERFUL. They gave everything they had and were not half-assed (not like other teams were like half-assed or smth). I watched their waiting stage without a stop and didn't even skip a song or two, like I did with A and B stages. I think considering the members, Team K members fit Team K the most, comparing with other teams, where Mayu looked not concentrated, and Haruna bored to death. But I was surprised at Miichan's happiness in Team B... And... Team B Oshi had strange and awkward moments for me this time... Yap, defo Team K PWNS other teams!!!

Oh, I forgot to tell Yuko-sama was brilliant!!!  :wub: :inlove: :wub: And when she cried, I nearly cried with her... But she shed happiness tears, so that's okay, nee? Ah, she is so beautiful, gorgeous, funny, amazing, stunning, breath-taking, fierce, cute and... *insert non stop blabber*  :nervous
