heavy rotation ver TakaminaThis is taken from team A performance on 09/15. Credits to chibi-midgetlove




MInami: Listening to Yui-chan’s story on nabe (hot pot) I thought I had one too. My manager and I were planning to go out for nabe. And we were also planning to talk about AKB and I was waiting first and then he didn’t come so I called him and he was like “I don’t think I can go” then I thought I was just going to eat alone. Then I was like Oh my god how about Miichan… ‘oh at one-one studio? You can’t come can you then’ and I was like ohh what should I do and then suddenly I got a call from Maeda-san.
'What are you doing now?' (MInami imitating Acchan)
Members: You sound just like her
'I'm at Mizutake'
'With who?' (Acchan)
'Alone'
'Hahahaha ALONE~!!!' (Acchan starts cracking up on the other side of the phone)
'So where about?' (Acchan asks Minami)
'Around xx'
'I'm close to there right now, I'll come over' (A)
Then she comes in and is like ‘You’re so funny!!’
And then I said sorry and thanks and we had nabe together. And that was last year (laughs)
When I’m alone there’s a tendency that Acchan calls, she says, ‘Where are you?’ And I respond ‘At xx of xx’ and she says ‘Ehh? I’m passing there right now.’ Then we’re just like lets go out together
Members: Atsumina
Minami: (does this weird hitting chest thing and doyagao x3
Member: Is Takamina-san following her?
Minami: You idiot, I don’t do that (doyagao) It’s just our bond
(T/N: If its one of them stalking someone I think its more Atsuko coz she seems to be the one calling all the time :3




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Acchan install a GPS program or something similar on Takamin's phone to track her down ?
LOL

Lol, what a great bond these two have! Acchan just senses that Takamina is all alone nearby and goes to hang out with her. Though how Maeda senses this exactly is any one's guess. Since Sayaka and Mariko graduated, Takamina is now my AKB oshi. Though of course those two will always have a special spot as my all time favorites.

[JennyInTokyo]

It's so lovely see that Acchan still goes to see Takamina! She is my oshi now that a lot of the 1st generation members have left and sometimes I feel like she could be a little lonely because of the recent graduations

[minaeshi]

Does the new CM that takamina's in mean she'l be graduating with Yuko and Kojima? 

Mayu was in the CM too, but she didn't say "I will Graduate" like the other three did.. Could someone give me some info? I'm a little lost and super confused at the moment

[JennyInTokyo]

From what I know the CM has the members in it saying I'm graduating but none of them are officially graduating apart from Yuko

[minaeshi]

That's a relief! 

I feel like AKB need the pillar that is takamina to hold up the group for a little while longer, at least until their senbatsu lineup and team line up is stable enough with a defined center

[VioletDreamer]

From what I know the CM has the members in it saying I'm graduating but none of them are officially graduating apart from Yuko

*relieved sigh* Thank goodness! When I saw Minaeshi's earlier post I panicked a little. I'm so glad they're not all graduating yet. I am going to miss Yuko though. I'm very happy Takamina will be in the group at for least a little longer.

[JennyInTokyo]

I agree I saw the news about this CM on TokyoHive and I thought please don't let Takamina graduate!!! D: Out of all the 1st generation favourites I only have Takamina left! I'm still just getting over Tomochin graduating. You have to admit this CM does help bring attention to itself with the shocking lie

[kantutanTayo14]

LOL Aki-p knows he had the whole 48ers empire built around 1 takamina, without the one takamina the whole 48s organization will completely collapse in ruin

Betcha he gives her all the benefits she asks

 

Maybe theres even a secret contractual clause that if tkmn graduates aki-p representing akb48 can sue her for leaving before she's at Japan's national retirement age

[Ares13]

LOL .. she is the general manager ..
Honestly there would be little difference if she graduate actually ..
she is no longer the captain .. she is still leading them .. so she can still do it as general manager
The only difference is you wouldn't see her in the singles and there will be less performance ..
I really see her putting up a performance now and then as a surprise ..
furthermore she should still be a media personality .. she will still be in the media ..

So honestly there is not much to lose .. but a lot to gain ..
She can technically stay in AKB48 group without being bonded by the no dating rule ..
we got to think about their personal well-being and their development as a person too instead of just expecting them to entertain us forever ..

[minaeshi]

 

Couldn't help but laugh at the cake the girls got for takamina

Takamina to Graduate in 2015:

[rattrap316]

Just curious. There was this news I saw where she stormed the stage at a convention.

What that all about. Also prior to that scene, there was a pic of her with some guy.

Another scandal?

[randomrrr]

^
They did dokkiri on akb members

for mechaike

[rattrap316]

Hahaha.

Okay. I was worried there for a moment.

[Krusha]

The Mechaike Dokkiri Special will air on the 6th of December, and is basically as said above made into a scandal involving Takamina. This "scandal" will in the Mechaike Special have some serious implications for Takamina and AKB48, and it will create a lot of tears.

[rattrap316]

Wow. That's some elaborated prank. You wouldn't happen to know time and channel? I'm hooked.

[Krusha]

http://www.fujitv.co...ECHA/index.html

I don't see a specific TV listing on that page, other than the headline which says "EVERY SATURDAY P.M 7:57", but then again this page says something else (19:00 - 20:54): http://tv.yahoo.co.jp/program/?sid=86

I hope it'll appear on the tracker

[Krusha]

Takamina announced her graduation in today's 9 year anniversary stage performance at the AKB48 theater.

She will graduate from AKB48 on December 8, 2015 - in other words AKB48's 10 year anniversary.

[lynx212]

Not really surprising, I mean, 10 years of being the leader of AKB48 is going to take a toll on anyone. Plus Yui being chosen as the next general manager is going to mean AKB48 will still be in safe hands from December 9, 2015 onwards.  

[Krusha]

Agreed.

The only thing I wonder about is how soon she announced it after the Mechaike Dokkiri. "I'm graduating! Just kidding, I'm not." -> "I'm graduating! For real this time."

But that said, I have pretty much expected her at least to be the one to graduate on that date. It makes so much sense for her, and Yuihan as her successor is a great choice. I'm not sure how Takamina's post-AKB career will be, as I think it'll be rough to have a successful solo-career, but maybe she should consider acting... ?
