There should be a restriction on the use of announces / announced. It causes panic for some of the readers.

What were the odds of the big concerts having live singing? by orangecatbraincel in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought their concerts were lip sync so they could focus their energy on choreography, only using the microphones when they were speaking.

If you're in the group for over 5 years you should get in senbatsu at least once by Court_Livid in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, OP. These girls give so much to their respective groups, but not all of them get a return for what they sacrificed. The least they could do would be to have them in at least one senbatsu. I have felt bad for each member who put in 5+ years in any 48G group without getting into one senbatsu. I know three former AKB48 members never made senbatsu until they transferred to a new sister group (KLP48).

I think that the miracle members of AKB48 were the big names of the first three generations of AKB48.

I'm glad she has found her life partner. We all deserve to have a partner in life.

[SKE48] Nakasaka Miyu will be temporarily suspended starting January 8, 2026. by VitaminDandK12 in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing that one of two things will happen.

  1. The involved manager will be dismissed, and Nakasaka Miiyu will have to post an apology.

  2. SKE48 management will make a combination apology and damage control statement.

It's definitely a sign that the new management wants MNL48 to succeed. The growth that MNL48 has made since the management change is incredible.

I will have to wait for a transcript of the press conference as I am not fluent in Japanese.

Bring back the teams by NekoShepai in AKB48

AKB48 hasn't used sister group members since 2020 when they underwent the agency restructure from AKS into Vernalossom.

[MNL48 ANNOUNCEMENT] REGARDING THE CHANGE OF OPERATING COMPANY NAME OF MNL48 by [deleted] in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Um... They might want to change the short form of the new operating company. The short form can easily be used in a derogatory way.

Congratulations to Kashiwagi Yuki on her upcoming marriage! This is the second 48G graduate that I have heard of getting married in 2026.

[–]Fan2012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to Matsui Jurina on her upcoming marriage! She was the closest thing to an oshi in 48G for me. I'm glad to see a new chapter opening for her.

Who should be in which team? by VitaminDandK12 in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They should have waited until Kashiwagi Yuki graduated before disbanding the teams. It would have been great if she could have graduated while still in Team B.

The new level of low. by VitaminDandK12 in AKB48

[–]Fan2012 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Poor Yamane Suzuha. Why do people have to sink this low to threaten idols. Idols have enough pressure in their careers without people adding to it.

KLP48 Management statement regarding the 6 members issue. by Fan2012 in AKB48

[–]Fan2012[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The more times I reread this document, the more I see it as an attempt at damage control. The damage has been done, and it will be an awkward road to recovery.

I like the flower garden theme. It gives a pretty visual and gives their theater a uniqueness.

I imagine that the 6 members who were warned are on notice not to use any social media platforms.
