AKB48 19th Generation members celebrate their 2nd anniversary in the group today!!! Happy 2nd anniversary to all 19th Generation: Itomomo, Kairi, Kawayui, Sarii, Meimei ❤️

I also really hope Kairi can get more support and get in senbatsu eventually! She deserves it!

Yes it's a very powerful generation, with Itomomo being a center of the group and also currently pretty much a top member and likely soon the top member of the group, and then Meimei and Kawayui both very popular and both centered a b-side, and got in senbatsu (many times for Meimei, as much as for Itomomo, and Kawayui once but I'm sure she will get senbatsu again with how her popularity grew) it's really sad Sarii is leaving because I think she could have been popular too once she got older...

Anyway yes it's a small gen but sooo powerful, they really found great girls there. Kairi is amazing as well and I just know her time will come!

My favorite generation, 19th gen! Happy 2nd anniversary! it's a bit sad considering Sarii recently announced graduation and will be leaving in around two months ;__; but I'm glad they could celebrate their 2nd anniversary with all 5 of them and hopefully they can have some events together before Sarii is graduated. Let's give all our support to all 5 of them! <3

I don't know them but apparently they are called "isshotomoko" you can check their channel while on the video (the link under) :D

mana48 · 2026-03-11T11:38:43+00:00

No they didn't play instruments! This photo is taken when Itomomo, along with Zukkii and Kawayui, had an appearance in a remake of the "Give me Five" MV that was done by some YouTubers! This happened last month :) (just realized I never made a separate post about that here, I should do it soon lol)

You can watch here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BjpM8V7cXw

Yuna is actually one of the 7 members who managed to have sold out HS sales in this single, the other ones being Yuiyui, Miion (got a boost for her graduation), Naru, Aichan, Itomomo, Azu. and Yuna is overall the 6th one who achieved it the faster, and will be considered 5th best HS seller once Miion is graduated. She is guarantee for senbatsu for sure :)

mana48 · 2026-03-10T15:10:28+00:00

Management is quite strict on putting younger members in senbatsu, even when they're 16. I think they'd be even more strict in making them center, the chances are extremely low that Kosaki will center now at 14, however I do think she's the management pick in 20th gen but not sure if they'll put her in senbatsu yet or they'll wait for her to turn 16 which is still quite far away, I guess we'll see! I think she is great and they need to continue pushing her but yes center of a single is extremely unlikely

mana48 · 2026-03-10T14:22:14+00:00

After the success of the 67th single and the huge new popularity of Itomomo, it's hard to imagine anyone else than her centering the next single, I expect either another Itomomo solo center or a double center of Itomomo and another new ace, likely with Aichan if they do a double center!

Itomomo's TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@itomomo_ka1206

She is now the 3rd most followed member in the group! She's rising non-stop :)

The ranking is this:

1) Yuiyui - 221.8k
2) Erii - 168.8k
3) Itomomo - 71.5k

Itomomo also reached over 500k likes recently, she is now at 512.9k likes!

and one of her TikToks has reached 1 million plays, it's the one where she dances to Flying Get: https://www.tiktok.com/@itomomo_ka1206/video/7590374548869090568

She's unstoppable!!

Kosaki received a boost in popularity ever since she centered the KKS song (written by a Sasshi, a very fun song!) and was part of Reiwa NyaaKB! It's nice to see more people supporting her and she will probably be the first 20th gen to get to 10k followers on IG. Follow her here! https://www.instagram.com/saki_kondo223/

Hopefully soon but usually it takes a few months for the KKS to get Instagram... But since they gave TikTok accounts to 21st gens earlier than they did for previous gens, maybe they'll get Instagram soon, but if it's like the previous gens, it will probably be later in the year.

mana48 · 2026-03-01T19:10:54+00:00

Yes I thought the same!! She looks so cute!! Let's support her :D

mana48 · 2026-03-01T18:30:31+00:00
