Checking myself if the ship is still sailing, so leaving this note as a sign I was there! Maybe even my blog exists, who knows, did not visit a lot since the forced exit of "A!O section".

I'm still getting through all of the full concerts they posted on their youtube channels. I've always wondered why they (and other groups) have film crews record their concerts when there is no intention to release them commercially. It's generous of them to post them in their entirety. Kome was probably in her pajamas one night and started thinking, "The fans are getting restless and very frisky. We should release all of the concert videos" and then called Yuki and told her to make herself useful and edit the footage and upload them.

Where are these concerts supposed to be? On avex channel? I'm a bit lost.

Lost track a bit after notifications have been qualified as SPAM for half the year, but I've finally noticed something off - no H!O in inbox and nonzero number of messages in wrong folder. Five months lost anyway and it seems that I might have had something more important in that time, but I've missed this .

 

Well, I must say I've almost spit my drinks while reading the thread - halving the group and then going to add members that are older than to-be-graduates? Smells like ... And to say this about a group that still holds the candle of idolicity after 48s clearly took a step away this year. Bad Avex, bad.

 

After looking at auditionees I must admit that they are tweeting as if on fire... I didn't find birthdates for some of them, but the roster is so antiquated, just WOW - former GEM, former SKE48, "random" girl with five years old account? Quite a bulk of old dogs here.

 

Apart from Aika I don't see a lot of hope. Just some good girls, but no hope in this land of misery. Maybe Gool-ge really knew how to make me feel better.

 

Is this the Rio that is auditioning?

@Ares13 more important than the "visible vote count" is what happens at the bottom:
 
2016

80. Murashige Anna (HKT48 - Team KIV, 13,058) (REENTER)

2017

80. Matsuoka Hana (HKT48 - Team TII, 15,396) (NEW)

Coupled with more girls participating and almost everyone, that ranked, having vote count increased (even if not enough to keep position) - there is no real sign of decrease.

in general it seems like there was alot less votes overall for the entire ordeal.

This should be debunked right now...
