[bochang]

Calm down guys..

It's only day 1..

more twist awaits..



i live in Jakarta, but i'm not really happy for Akicha and Harugon.. it's okay for them if it's only the part of study abroad program, but if this move is permanent..
I feel sorry for them..

Indonesian entertainment industry seriously needs to be fixed up.

[+u+u]

I just......... WTF??? I was happy getting off work and starting my weekend being the happiest person on the Earth and then I read the news. 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 

[CtrlZee]

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.
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.

[RenX]

it's okay for them if it's only the part of study abroad program, but if this move is permanent..
I feel sorry for them..

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.

[stv_wong]

im really worried......will akicha and harugon eat properly?
will they fine??

JKT and SNH its really different....hope they will be fine

Well, i assure you there's a lot of authentic japanese food restaurant in Jakarta, but, the climate is really different than Japan. Wonder if they can adapt? and also the cultural differencies.

[ChuuuPuffss]

Posting more pics lol~



THIS COUPLE ! THIS OTP !! MAY U LIVE FOREVER ! <3 Even though ur getting separated

[Amplifier]

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.

[TakaminaBG]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

[Amplifier]

^Nice work. Also, I believe this image is fitting:

[kahem]

I'm sure he is doing this for world domination. He starts with asia... He may want to attrack new fans even though old fans don't like it...

[arrow27]

So it's official Takamina is the almighty leader Hope it doesn't add to much pressure on her though. This is the first time i hear of a member of a group being promoted to general manager while still being part of group. But I wonder what this will mean for her solo dream
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.

[almond]

ANOTHER THING I NOTICED!
(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)
