Ino Miyabi announced graduation

[ShiningLight445]

Very little singles/album participation :/ it's a shame she got so little since she's been in AKB since 2014. What was her reason to graduate?

[RenaiHunter]

Basically she feels like she is wasting her time doing theater performances and seeing so many new members coming in she decided its time to move on and puruse fashion industry.

[SailorKame]

with 16th gen likely getting promoted and a new draft class coming in, probably lots of theater girls will be looking for the exits soon.

[cdean12343]

Does anyone know which video this is from?

 

Thanks for your help!

[RenaiHunter]

It was the AKB48 Nemousu TV Special I think

[cdean12343]

Thanks RenaiHunter! I will try to find the episode

 

EDIT: Found it! S14E06

Message from Sashihara Rino & letter from Kashiwagi Yuki
EN 4. Sakura no Hanabiratachi

Very retro idol and magical concert.

What I liked is that it wasn't sister group festival. There was a lot of new gen AKB focus.

"What I liked is that it wasn't sister group festival. There was a lot of new gen AKB focus."

 

Likely because Mayuyu has talked a lot about the continuation of AKB48, and in certain magazines mentioned some girls whom she considers as the future of AKB48, such as YuiYui, Seichan, and others.

[minaeshi]

So, my "predictions" all came true lol. Kennins being revoked, Team 4 split up and mixed into different teams, 16th gen and team 8 fill up the empty spots in teams a, k, and b, Captains being juri, komi, and yuiri. The only thing i got wrong was hoping thinking Tano or Tomu would be captains of team K (I thought Komi would be Team B captain and Juri team A's captain, but Okabe Rin came outta no where lol (well, for me, idk if she was bring groomed for the position or anything lol) 

Satisfied with this shuffle, it seems like the group is finally going back to how things were before. Looking forward to seeing if the AKB singles have a similar change or not, though it's unlikely, it's a nice little step forward. 

 

Video if anyone wants to watch it 

[GetRapper]

^^What does the (8) next to Narumi stand for?  I know there is two Yokoyama Yui's so I understand that aspect.

[minaeshi]

^Probably a type, there isn't any other 48 girl with that name as far as i know
