Things get easier, man, just hang in there and remember these last moments of them in 48G like stars shooting by - bright and glorious with a smash bang ending...



On a brighter note, don't know if Yuko could ask for a better song to leave on. Sounds like Aki-P got himself together and wrote a quality single. Takes it back to the roots of AKB's music and it's in the vein of some of their finest B-sides~

Well I'm glad Yuko have a legacy to leave behind and going out on the grandest stage of them all, the National Stadium of Japan. 

Sadly I dun know when will Manatsu graduate in March exactly, hopefully at the Nation Stadium as well. 

That will be a Bluray collection I'll break the bank for.

Well now I can't look at Team K and S in the same way anymore. Its just so empty now….

How do you like the song? 

It feels like Yuko's version of Uhho Uhhoho, K-ish kinda rare to see for a title song. 

I still have no clue which type I'll probably get, not much of a fan of these covers but I definitely want the UG/Baby Elephants song

To me, any single that is Yuko centered is a legacy. Its never wrong. 


Buy them all, support Yuko…

With HKT's 3rd single coming up and only few months until the summer single (yay my first sousenkyo I'm gonna vote for) I don't think I can put money on the sakura single besides my copy of my fav type.

Let's see if Yuko fans are dedicated enough to push Heavy Rotation views on YT to 100 million before she graduates.

By now the type A, K and B coupling song PVs have been shown to the respective audiences in AKB theater stages. According to the fans the centers are the following ones:

Smiling Lions (UG) - Kinou Yori Motto Suki : Naanya
Beauty Giraffes (Type A) - Kimi no Uso wo Shiteita : Mariyagi
Baby Elephants (Type B) - Himitsu no Diary : Takahashi Juri (confirmed)
Talking Chimpanzees (Type C)  - KONJO : Komari

Owada is understandable, AKS is still trying to test the market with her.

The real big surprise here is your SNH48's oshimen for Type A, to push her now its really not eventful. I suspect its going to be her last hooray….

Not really exciting in term of song or center…. Its quite sad that AKS didn't invite Sae back to center one coupling in honor of Yuko.

And instead of Komari, Tomu should be given a chance instead.

AKB48「前しかむかねぇ Maeshika Mukanee」AKB48SHOW! 2014.02.22


The beginning seems to be like a baton passing ritual from Yuko to Mako. In a sense, they really looks like sibling.

Tomu centered in on yesterdays' team K stage

I guess I don't need to post the team A (Tano Yuka), team B (Ranran) and team 4 (Miion) center versions?

Nope for all 

Its funny how Tano is not completely written off yet, but she is getting nowhere all this while...

Hope to see Tomu appearing on at least one senbatsu before she graduates.

After the HS-resale it still doesn't look very convenient. 

Well at least
Sasshi 25/25
Sakura 25/25

Meru 16/25
Mio 15/25
Haruppi 11/25

Some sad numbers:

Annin 3/25
Kitarie 3/25
Miichan 4/25
Minarun 6/25
Akicha 6/25
Juri 2/20 (despite the recent push)

Yuihan 20/25 (still not outselling her slots)

---

Mako 25/25
Nana 23/25
Miki 8/25

Its normal, Yui is too shy for WOTA, its not really that heart warming like other members' HS experience.

Considering the overall trend, she is holding up her Kami7 position pretty well. 

Juri's push is such a failure that most wouldn't even consider it as a push. But Annin is really falling down from heaven. 


Goodbye 14gen trio and welcome the new eternal rival pairing of Mako/Nana….

Juri got 2nd in AKBINGO's fortune telling 2014 episode they have to use ressources on her now   Like they recently did, she got a leading role in the drama 'Sailor Zombie' along with Kawaei and Naanya, she's the center of the Baby Elephants song (35th single). That's more exposure than she had in 2013. 

As for Annin she got completely invisible within ..well almost since Heart Ereki/her win on the Mechaike test which didn't bring her any attention. I wonder if her fans will stick to her in the Sousenkyo 2014 

Haha ye but the management still tries to desperately drag Miki along, right now there's a double episode on AKBINGO around Mki, she gets featured in CMs like the recent JUST DANCE Wii U along with Mayu, Mako, Paruru



Let's see if the management pursues on this much longer

The AKBingo fortune telling isn't exactly as accurate as it should be. Yes she got more exposure, but thats mainly just to WOTA, and hardcore at it. Sailor Zombie is not even a prime time drama, just another soft drama which sadly only draws extremely low viewership..


Annin is on the highway of no return, I doubt she will make it back to regular senbatsu again… 


Desperate because AKS don't have anymore chess to play, despite the AKB48 branding still going strong, what is leading it is really nothing compared to the past.

Just based on CM earnings and CM intake alone, there is only less than a handful of active members up there like Nyan Nyan, Parurun and Yuihan… the rest is not getting much of anything from the commercial sectors.

That already means one don't see 48G stuffs all over the media anymore, its not really a good sign.
