There was a ridiculous level of mistreatment in terms of attention given, between Mocchi vs. Ricchan.

 

Mocchi has been in AKB48 since 2007, and has always done her best, and have had more than so-so popularity, and yet all she got was this. Whereas Ricchan got pretty much an entire concert and Acchan-level treatment. I understand when we're talking about not so popular girls, that they won't get an entire concert or so, but Mocchi is not one of those girls. She could've gotten much more than this...

 

At least Sankei Sports gives her attention:

I might be going a bit off topic here but bear with me...

 

It's what you mentioned, Krusha, about how this mistreatment has been given. I have been an AKB fan for almost 3 years now, and I still don't know most things about the function of 48Group, but I do realize the favoritism and the mistreatment of other members, and it does get me upset.

I realize, of course, that it's the focus on the center position and the highlight of the senbatsu members who get the best treatment (as well as the fans/wota who go all out to support the ones they love and want to support). But I feel that each member of not just AKB, but each sister group, is equally important for the function of each group.

 

Each member has their reasons to graduate; some take a short time to graduate, others spread the time longer. Examples are AKB's Tsuchiyasu Mizuki (who graduated 9 days after the initial announcement) and NMB's Takano Yui (graduated just about 3 months after initial announcement). I know that it could possibly be next to impossible to do, and I might as well say that I'm dumb to say it, but it would be nice if each girl got even a small section of a concert (concert, not just a theater graduation) to recognize her graduation. I'm initially thinking of Marinchan, my love; she's graduating 2 days from now, and I'm still in sadness. But it's only a theater graduation. Marinchan has been in senbatsu once, for Ue Kara Mariko, and is close with Mayuyu. But she has never been ranked in the election. I personally say that she should have had at least just one song where she was center.

 

I'm simply overthinking and wishing this, as it is pretty much impossible to happen - I mean, what would fans think if a member has such a dedicated time in a concert and they barely recognize the member??

As I went off topic and off on a rant, I feel bad that Mocchi was treated like this. She was once leader of Team B, after all. There could have been more. :c11: But what do I know.

I am happy, though, that it was a little bit dedicated to her. She looked gorgeous in her dress and judging by the picture it looked like a good performance for Team B.

IMHO one of the prettiest girls in AKB along with the girl with probably the weirdest fetish lol.  Always had a soft spot for Mocchi ever since watching her fangirl over Kobayashi on AKBINGO <3
