Ah, yes, the rumored "prostitution ring" that some keep talking about.

I may expand on my use of that because for anyone who reads this thread and doesn't know, there's rumors among NGT that some "fans" are just with some members to shower them with thousands (if not millions) of yen so they get most votes in the Election and probably more opportunities to see them at handshake events. That it goes waaay more than actual dating.

 

 

The only justice Maho would get is NGT disbanding. But for her that wouldn't be justice, as she vowed from the beginning she wanted to protect NGT and Team G.

It could be the prostitution ring, or it could be something less extreme, like, we pretty much know that the no-dating rule in 48G is of the "don't get caught" kind... If there was proof of that, that might lead creepy people (the kind who expect no-dating rules to be strict) to actively try and get members caught out of spite.

Team NIII and Team G had their final theater performance as teams.

 

 

Maho, Hasegawa Rena, and Sugahara Riko announced their graduation.

[gobzilla]

Is there any chance that Rena and Riko are the members who were rumored to have helped Maho's assaulters?

[Blu-Cherri]

Those 2 are the only ones we can guarantee it isn't actually. They're graduating in solidarity with her.
Riko is the one that helped her when it happened along with Riko's mum.

No. 
 
Those are Mahohon's vocal supporters throughout this entire ordeal. 
 
What we can be sure of (it's an undeniable fact), is that the guilty perpetrators are still in NGT48, safe and sound, protected by AKS.

[ShiningLight445]

And management are more or less protecting them, dissolving the teams and having all first gen as one. Mixing the bad members with the innocent members.

[gobzilla]

Oh dear :x What will it take for management to finally get its act together? >.<

[Leon_santillan1980]

is blackslashing bad to the management, akb48 is losing sponsors 

[ShiningLight445]

NGT for sure lost a lot, if not all, their sponsors. I don't think AKB has lost anything.

NGT for sure lost a lot, if not all, their sponsors. I don't think AKB has lost anything.

 

I've seen some reports that some AKB sponsors plan to get out their contracts but I don't know reliable that information is. I would take it with a grain of salt.

(It was somewhere on twitter but I didn't save the tweets)

[ShiningLight445]

AKS is finally suing the two guys who assaulted Maho

A little too late, unfortunately...

Merely an attempt at saving face after the ship has sunk. 

[gobzilla]

They still need to name and fire the accomplices.

[ShiningLight445]

Maho, Riko, and Rena have officially graduated.

 

 

Akimoto penned a new song just for them (the name of the stage)Taiyou wa nando demo.

Murakumo Fuuka,Watanabe Ayusa, Kusakabe Aina, Oguma Tsugumi, Kado Yuria, Takazawa Tomoka, and Takahashi Nanami made guest appearances. 

 

 

Supposedly Rena hinted at being a seiyuu and Riko hinted at still being an idol.

Katomina slipped up and sent an Instagram story to her public account.

It says
"can they change the channel? I am doing manicure here."
She deleted it fast but 2 different screenshots of it made it around twitter and she's now been demoted to kks and NGT48 are off sns(no idea if that applies to Rika of course)
Edit: looks like sns ban starts at 11pm jst

[minaeshi]

didn't think they would be dumb enough to post something like that but here we are lol 

 

demotion to kks is yet another way to save face as literally all the 1st gen members have had their team memberships revoked with the team disbandment, so what exactly has she been demoted from? being an 1st gen member? she will always be one just as miichan remained AKB 1st gen despite joining KKS after her scandal. they didn't really do anything here..
