Takamina talks about graduations on SMAPxSMAP
(Graduation) is a difficult matter for us. Unlike SMAP, many comin and go. And so we feel pressure to push us out. About 1 month has passed since Mariko graduated, but I still quite understand what that means. Lots of my 仲間 (Nakama) graduated in this short span of period, and I can barely keep up with it.... Honestly It hurts to send my friends off. Sometimes I had thought I should've decided my graduation early. But today, here I am standing on the same stage with Tomo as she graduates. It means a lot to me. As for me, I've been thinking that I must decide my graduation at my own timing. ========= Both Takamina and Yuko are determined to be the last one of their generation to graduate, so no peers needs to feel the pain of sending them off... With Nyan Nyan's announcement coming soon, and Kana, Umechan all looking to close the book as well... its not far to say that the founder of the this AKB48 History will walk into the history as well Takamina tag: benstack ch3mist kanonno oshiri hinata

Will it boost AKB like it worked for SKE?

AKB48 and SKE48's rapport works differently... Sakae have home prefecture loyalty, AKB48 don't.... People living in Tokyo and surrounding Saitama, Yokohama...etc don't give much to prefecture loyalty cos its a metropolis.... AKB48 is already on the slip down to base million mark for their own singles (excluding election and Sousenkyo singles).... Be it Mayu, Paru even Yuko can't hold the sales up anymore.... Tons of WOTAs graduates with their oshimen like Mariko and Tomochin, and refused to stick with the group any further.... Older generation of WOTAs are all working adults (w/wo own family) and doesn't have much time to idolize anymore.... Younger kids are more into baby groups like Momorio, E-girls, Berry...etc.. So basically what AKB48 is left with (excluding Sister groups' WOTAs) are just those 17-25pack of students and young working adults... but give it a few more years and those will fade away as well... with so little newer fans.... AKB48 is writing the final few chapters already...

That's probably a common topic on Jap. media..I wonder how that affects young girls who go go 48G auditions. It doesn't seem to be worth anymore (like yrs back). Do you have any clue about the payment for KKS members, shadow members etc? (assuming no additional gravure/CM etc work)

(assuming no additional gravure/CM etc work) Well better late than never.... Its doesn't.... 48G auditions is just one of their route to showbiz, if they failed, they can go MM's audition, or E-girls' audition... or other auditions.... Payment?? Just on allowance payout system.... KKS is drawing ¥5000 per stage they perform, senbatsu members are on a totally different pay scale... Regular members maybe drawing ¥6-7000....? IDK its really that rewarding... with 20 stage per month, at most they are drawing around USD$1000, I'm sure ch3mist-kun's allowance is more than that already... But one good thing is that KKS don't need to pay for all the lesson they are receiving.... which is good for all members especially those coming from a poor family...

So wrong I'm far below $1000 ^^

Takamina: "Akimoto-sensei sent me a text message 'Have a courage to let people hate you on my 18th birthday (April 2009), and that changed me completely." "I think I'm in the top 3 list of 'who will graduate next?', thus I've already thinking about graduation. What do you think? Don't you think it's hard to imagine me not as a member of AKB48?" Takamina tag: benstack ch3mist kanonno oshiri
