=====

• Graduation
- Kawaei Rina

During the personnel reshuffle, there was a surprise announcement that Kawaei Rina would graduate from the group. It was announced by the general manager Kayano Shinobu. When Kayano stated, "Kawaei Rina, graduating", the fans' screams shook the whole venue.

Kawaei explained in tears, "Because of the incident last year, I haven't been able to attend any handshake events. People around me told me not to worry about it, but I did. Though AKB48 cherishes the handshake event, I can't attend it, and I will never be able to... so I was thinking what to do."

Kawaei also revealed how she noticed that she loved to act through her appearances in dramas, and so she wanted to learn acting from scratch to pursue her dream.

Kawaei's graduation date has not been announced at this time.

Kitarie gets to be captain!  *Also moves fanship over to NGT...*

I'm a bit surprised they gave Nako the concurrency, i.e. Big push for her

Team 4 seems to be the most dynamic of the changes although it helps to put Yuihan back into Team A as she'll take over the GM spot

Ricchan's graduation wasn't a surprise but for that long she hasn't been back really saddens everyone although has she applied for the election?  *Will edit later*  That'll give an approximate timing for the date :nervous

Anyways, I wouldn't mind hanging around more lolis XD

So, um... I have been mentioning this in quite a few places, but will say this here too.

I really am not affected by this shuffle as much as some people. I expected this to happen, the shuffle is fixing a lot of mistakes that were made in the past shuffle and I expected Ricchan's graduation around this time. Am not sure bout her fans, but I - not being a very huge fan of hers, and still respecting her courage and skills - saw it all through and have been telling to a few people that I sense she is not as okay as she pretends to be.

I am not going to dwell too much on negativity, instead, gonna do a tiny review of this shuffle.

What you're gonna see is Teams that were made on the last shuffle, Teams that were made on this shuffle and Teams that I would only slightly change from this shuffle (some might be more than slightly ^^;).

I agree with people from various forums, that Teams have lost their 'meaning and image' to some extent, but they do look better now than on the last shuffle. So um, here we go.

2014 Shuffle Takahashi Team A Furuhata Nao SKE48 Team KII/AKB48 Team A Fujita Nana Ichikawa Manami Iino Miyabi Iriyama Anna Iwata Karen Kawaei Rina Kojima Haruna Kojima Natsuki Miyawaki Sakura HKT48 Team KIV/AKB48 Maeda Ami Matsui Sakiko Morikawa Ayaka Mutou Tomu Nakamura Mariko VICE CAPTAIN Nakanishi Chiyori Nakata Chisato Nishiyama Rena Shimazaki Haruka Takahashi Minami GENERAL MANAGER, CAPTAIN Takita Kayoko Taniguchi Megu Tatsuya Makiho Yagura Fuuko NMB48 Team M/AKB48 Team A

2015 Shuffle Yokoyama Team A Yamada Nanami AKB48 Team 8/AKB48 Team A Miyazaki Miho Hirata Rina Sasaki Yukari Iriyama Anna Iwata Karen Kawaei Rina ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Kojima Haruna Kojima Natsuki Miyawaki Sakura HKT48 Team KIV/AKB48 Team A Maeda Ami Ooya Shizuka Morikawa Ayaka ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Yokoyama Yui CAPTAIN, TO BE GENERAL MANAGER Nakamura Mariko VICE CAPTAIN Nakanishi Chiyori Owada Nana Nishiyama Rena Shimazaki Haruka Takahashi Minami GENERAL MANAGER, ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Takita Kayoko Taniguchi Megu Ogasawara Mayu Shiroma Miru NMB48 Team M/AKB48 Team A

Sakura's Shuffle Yokoyama Team A Nakano Ikumi AKB48 Team 8/AKB48 Team A Miyazaki Miho Hirata Rina Sasaki Yukari Iriyama Anna Iwata Karen Kawaei Rina ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Kojima Haruna Kojima Natsuki Miyawaki Sakura HKT48 Team KIV/AKB48 Team A Maeda Ami Takajo Aki Morikawa Ayaka ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Yokoyama Yui CAPTAIN, TO BE GENERAL MANAGER Nakamura Mariko VICE CAPTAIN Nakanishi Chiyori Owada Nana Nishiyama Rena Shimazaki Haruka Takahashi Minami GENERAL MANAGER, ANNOUNCED GRADUATION Takita Kayoko Taniguchi Megu Kato Rena Shiroma Miru NMB48 Team M/AKB48 Team A

-
I guess my main issue with current Team A is that it is STUFFED with Senbatsu and Owarai members. Let's look at the ratio:


Senbatsu - Owarai - Pushed - Backups

Yamada Nanami, Miyazaki Miho, Hirata Rina, Sasaki Yukari, Iriyama Anna(?), Iwata Karen, Kojima Haruna, Kojima Natsuki, Miyawaki Sakura, Maeda Ami, Ooya Shizuka, Yokoyama Yui, Nakamura Mariko, Nakanishi Chiyori, Owada Nana, Nishiyama Rena, Shimazaki Haruka, Takahashi Minami, Takita Kayoko, Taniguchi Megu, Ogasawara Mayu, Shiroma Miru(?)


You can see the picture in this one well, right? Honestly though, I think Maachun fitted well in Team B, Shiichan and Nanami would do way better in K. Obvious choices for A are Ikumin and Akicha, so I have no idea why there were shuffled into K.

And I am not sure if I can call Miru or Annin as Senbatsu members, since I can only speculate that Miru will be put in Senbatsu if she does well in Team A, while Annin is not part of the 40th Single and I am not sure anymore if she is still being pushed... One can hope, right?

A few other good things with this Team are YuiParu  :wub: :wub: :wub: and Hilary, cuz I am sure this Team will benefit her a lot. Also glad for Myao to be back in the Team she started with, hope she will get more exposure here (not very likely, but hopefully)

I am sure by now most of you know this 'running joke' or as I call it 'Let's-face-it-this-is-reality' that this Team is now Team K(ennin) and it is true. However, I do not see it as a bad thing for one simple reason. AKB48 members still need to be groomed and prepared to ace and carry this Team who always had strong presences around, such as Yuuko, Sayaka, Sae, Umechan, Nontii, etc. As you can see, this team now has ZERO Original Team K members. Even with them the Team lacks that 'presence/poise/kizuna' of Ori Team K, thus it's okay at least for Kennin members to hide this loss with their awesome presences.

Thus we have Miichan as Captain and Haruu as Vice Captain (FINALLY) who can groom the still not ready ones and prepare them to carry on this Team on their own one day.

I am mostly happy of course with this Team, but still, let's look at how it is:


Senbatsu - Dance Leads - Pushed - Backups

Abe Maria, Aigasa Moe, Ichikawa Manami, Ishida Haruka, Nakata Chisato, Kodama Haruka, Minegishi Minami, Matsui Sakiko, Mutou Tomu, Matsui Jurina, Fujita Nana, Nagao Mariya, Suzuki Mariya, Shimada Haruka, Shimoguchi Hinana, Tano Yuuka, Mogi Shinobu, Yamamoto Sayaka, Nakano Ikumi, Yumoto Ami, Takajo Aki, Shinozaki Ayana, Mukaichi Mion


This Team as you can see has a lot of great dancers, which is one of the most important traits for Team K since hell knows how long. I am really happy with this Team except... I don't think Mion fits in here, neither does Haruppi, I would send them both to either Team B/Team 4 respectively. I think Yuria would slay in this Team, we know she is an amazing dancer, this would have been the perfect move if they just put her in Team K.

And can I say something really important here... WHY DID THEY SEND UCCHI AND KANA OUT?!.... Just....meh...

Amazing things about this team would be TanoTomu, MoeMogi, and MiiHaruu leadership. I am really looking to their Stages, because their dance power level is amazing, expecting some slayage~

OKAY, lemme just say this... HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO HAVE MATSUI RENA IN TEAM B?!!! Honestly, I'd love that too much...  :bleed eyes: :bleed eyes: :bleed eyes: :inlove:

That aside, this Team was kind of ruined for me...not fully...but more than let's say A or K... Quite a few members moved while I'd have preferred them staying in here... Anyways, let's see how the Team members go:


Senbatsu - Cutesy ones - Pushed - Backups

Yokoshima Aeri, Watanabe Miyuki, Iwasa Misaki, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kizaki Yuria(?), Kuramochi Asuka, Uchida Mayumi, Tatsuya Makiho, Kato Rena, Kobayashi Kana, Oshima Ryouka, Goto Moe, Yabuki Nako, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Kobayashi Marina, Takeuchi Miyu, Tanabe Miku, Uchiyama Natsuki, Umeta Ayano, Watanabe Mayu, Fukuoka Seina, Hashimoto Hikari


MIRUKII IS BACK, BITCHES!!!!! I can't explain the happy feels about her being back to Team B! She shouldn't have been removed from it in the first place!!!! And then Nagi-chan fits the cutesy image so well~

But then... WUT THE HELL, WAI DID THEY MOVE MIO AND WAKANYAN OUT?!!!! *throws a tantrum* and Maachun fits in B so well.... T^T and then they added so many cool/weird members in here, which would have been way better in other teams... Especially because in my honest opinion Nako is TOO YOUNG for this big challenge... >.> They should have put Nishino here, her energetic levels would have been perfect.

And why did they take captaincy away from Mocchi.... I mean, god... I don't think Yuria fits in Team B, let alone a Captain... I feel like Mocchi will announce graduation, and with her being one of my Top 5 favorite members.... It breaks my heart...

So, good things about this Team are: not only MaYuki stays in the Team but also we have wWatanabe in da house, also, once again, MIRUKII is back, and for some reason I always loved Wasamin in B, she is like this mother figure whenever Yukirin is not around, so I am glad about her being put back in here

This Team is really strong, and other than a few members who in my opinion were supposed to stay in Team B, nothing with this Team is wrong. Let's see how the Team looks:


Senbatsu - Promising - Pushed - Backups

Iwatate Saho, Tomonaga Mio, Izuta Rina, Kitazawa Saki, Nozawa Rena, Natori Wakana, Komiyama Haruka, Maeda Mitsuki, Takahashi Juri(?), Kojima Mako, Kitagawa Ryouha, Murayama Yuiri, Nishino Miki, Okada Ayaka, Okada Nana, Okawa Rio, Omori Miyuu, Shibuya Nagisa, Iino Miyabi, Sato Kiara, Kawamoto Saya, Tsuchiyasu Mizuki


I think Haruppi had her fair share of fame in AKB, time for Madoka to try Kennin position, but yeah, management just adores Haruppi (I am not saying she is bad, just that she is being over-pushed).

I am not sure if I should treat Juri-tan as Senbatsu, but with her being a Captain now, I hope this becomes true. I also wish for her to rank even higher in SSK...

The positives in this Team are: JuriNana leadership, this is going to be an amazing Team, because these two will lead them well; Mako back and Izurina here can only mean good things; not sure bout Ryouha, but I guess this Team could be a good place for her to improve on what she is lacking.

oh, Tanamin would do well in this Team, sad they didn't think to put her here... Oh well...
-

Kitahara Rie TRANSFERRED TO NGT48, Team NIII CAPTAIN


Well, I think this move is amazing and she will do great things for NGT48 together with Yukirin's star-power (which is not as needed, in my opinion, much for NGT48 as it is needed for Yukirin, who has become somewhat stagnant in AKB48.) If she pulls off Sasshi's role, that would be just great. And this kinda gives us an idea that she might be Senbatsu representative for NGT48. Good job, Rie!




Overall, like I said, not too shocked or anything, but pretty much content with the shuffle. Team B is somewhat ruined for me but I see bright future for Team K and Team 4.




EDIT.

I am okay with whatever choice Kaotan makes about either staying KKS or becoming full member in KII. It's her choice, I will still like her.

Team 8 members getting concurrencies in AKB Teams? Interesting. (Well Ikumin, Nagisa and Nanamichan are the Top 3 members of Team 8 so it's not that surprising but... that's definitely a huge push)

Mirurun getting a Team A kennin. Go get that popularity baby :wub:
MILKY BACK IN TEAM B! WWatanabe is back on traaaaaack :twothumbs
Now that most of my Team 4 favourites are gone I guess it's time to give up on that Team. Mion :cry: Ayanan :cry:

About Ricchan graduating... It was unexpected, but not surprising. I really wonder how she managed to make it this far since the accident happened and I really admire her for sticking to the group this long. To me, she has definitely lost the spark she had before, which is a shame... But I think graduating is the right thing to do for her, especially if she wants to finally move on. Her dream is to become an actress and she's been acting in dramas recently so I don't think it will be too hard for her to make her dream come true. Wishing her the best <3

Edit: On the one hand, I'm happy about these things I mentioned earlier but on the other hand, I don't know how I feel about Fuuchan and Nao's kennins ending.
I think Mirurun getting a kennin position in AKB was inevitable since her popularity has been sky-rocketing lately and she deserves it anyway but... they're giving up on my Fuu  :(
The end of Nao's kennin makes no sense to me though. Girl is still relevant :(

Nowadays I only follow Mayu's solo work and her theatre performances so how this will affect me is just the changes in Team B (and thanks sakura_drop for the detailed post and listings of the old and new teams to compare : ) I rarely watch the other teams, and not sure I even saw one LOD from every one of the current teams this round...

Firstly - it seems nowadays that AKB only bother to change stages at a shuffle - so the good news is that I'll get a different stage to watch soon (I don't think new original stages will ever happen). They've been doing Pajama Drive for a long time, and it's felt like time for a change for ages. Plus, they even leave out one of the B3 songs nowadays. I have no idea what they do, but any change will be interesting, and I hope its a good stage - or another "waiting" stage. The first Team A Waiting Stage was really good.

So... the girls who are leaving Team B.... it's a shame to lose Akicha and Owada Nana, I like them. The nogizaka girl never appeared in the theatre so that makes no difference, Mio is good, but I never really saw her as AKB, still HKT, so doesn't make too much different. I'm glad to lose Izuta Rina and Ogasawara Mayu.

The new girls - it'll be good to see Miyuki, Wasamin, Yuria and Mayumi again! I like these members but basically rarely see them as they weren't in Mayu's team. I hope Miyuki appears a lot, but as NMB Kennin I doubt she'll appear much. I really enjoyed W Watanabe in one of the old Team B's. Mayu will be pretty happy to have Marin-chan in her team again, so that's good for her, I guess. As for Yabuki Nako kennin.... just... no. I don't really like NakoMiku in HKT and it's one of the things which turned me off both Team H and the group... they are just far too small and everyone fawns over them. Mayu will be all over her in B, which I won't like, but, at least, I think she won't turn up very often.

I'm glad Umeta Ayano and Kuramochi Asuka are still in B with Mayu - I like both these members. Yuki remaining in B I see as irrelevant since she basically never turns up for theatre performances.

Post by: winner on March 28, 2015, 08:14:19 PM

Yeah. Great review sakura_drop! You totally hit the mark for all of them. :thumbsup
I'm probably the same as Jul3. Just checking out on Yukirin every now and then, it doesn't really matter too much as long as the ones I like are active and in the group.

- Kawaei grad announcement. I'm happy she had the courage to come out with the honest reason. Knowing that it took such a toll on her, yet she still continued for so long. Its both so heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. I hope to see Kawaei staying in the entertainment industry. She can still do so much.

- Yukirin's NGT48 kennin doesn't phase me too much. Like you guys said, she'll probably only show up for a few performances and singles to help push the group like when she was in NMB. I actually might've liked it if she was simply moved to NGT. It would let her continue as a supporting senpai role in a new environment. Maybe not the most dependable senpai, but I'm guessing she's gotten a little better at it through the years.

- The update in kennins is awful. All those potential next-gens who should be showing their stuff, and getting their exp and exposure to new fans from being with AKB. Cancelled. Such a waste of this opportunity. Where am I supposed to get my regular dose of Nao? ;)
All this while they decide to keep all the boring kennin's with the old aces/centers of the sister groups. They've proved their worth tenfold already, they got nothing to learn, and they'll be in senbatsu + have all the screen time that comes with it.
Milky in B is totally ok though. Dat W Watanabe. :D
Then there's the lack of AKB kennins for the sister groups. Overall, its just really boring.

- Team A. Guys! Like spread the talent a little. Don't hog all the talkers.

- Team K. I'm actually not that worried. Sure. There aren't any old Team K'ers, but I see a lot of members that fit my image of Team K.

- Team B. Why on Earth is Yuria captain. How long has she even moved from SKE. Like half the team is early-gen. They actually expect these old members to follow and listen to Peace and KSGK.  :doh: Well, I guess I should just be happy they kept MaYuki. and didn't just randomly throw Mayuyu into Nogi46 for LOLs like Rena. :roll:

- Team 4. Is Perfect. Simply perfect. :heart: They even got rid of Miichan. :P
Oh wait, still missing Meru for the Tentoumu Chu! happy meal set. Doh!~ :banghead:

Most of my points are just fan-talk though. :D Maybe they have reasons for all these updates and we just need to see it through.

first of all...

WHY THEY MOVE YUI TO A :on voodoo: if the reason is because she's the next GM then screw the management :on redcard:...imho it would be better if they move Gachapin back to A...just let the remaining 1st gen have more time together before Midget's graduation :on thumbb:
Yui belongs to Team K...she got promoted to Team K and she love that team so why don't let her stay there :on chew:

agree with sakura, Ikumi&akicha to A and Nanami to K

I also want Hillary back to K again :kekeke: and it would be nice if yuria, ksgk, and naachan moved to K too--other team can have chiichan, mariyanu, and ichikawa manami for the change :bored:

next is Jurina...WHY DON'T THEY JUST MOVED HER TO AKB....she's the longgest kennin ever...

MogiMiion together :luvluv1: thanks to akbingo for making this couple :on lol:

I guess that's it for now...will edit again if I get more ideas

*off to read ShieldBro & KnW again :on study: *

I'm not sure she would want to leave SKE though. I can't remember which shuffle it was, but I remember she was wearing a blue, yellow, and white outfit, and when they announced her name for AKB's Team K she kind of froze for a minute until they went on to say that she would also have a position in SKE, then of course she smiled and went on stage. :)
