Idk why but I have a strong feeling Erina's time in MM is about to finish up. If not her, Im on board with the one everyone is already worried about, Masaki.

I have the same feeling. She's looking bored atm. When looking at dance shots & lives, she's not putting effort in her dance. Even in the rap part of JJ, everyone is enjoying themselves, and she's more in the background, being kind of bland.

She might be just going for a more "cool" vibe, but it's not coming off like that.

Isn't that typical Ikuta though? I've read this stuff many times now, how she looks bored and about her performance but it seems she just does it like that so far. 

 

 

After seeing the spring tour setlist and Fuku-chan doing Silver no Udedokei which, as the only unit song so far, is practically the only thing in the A setlist where they give some members major attention and after the last tours where she also got solos (or small group songs) I feel like she's the next in line for graduation. For 2018 though. 

 

I guess you've read by now 10ki + 13ki also did a song (and probably Sakura and 12ki will be in another unit with 13ki, I hope), but wanted to mention it.

I can see a double graduation of Mizuki and Honey next year. Then Ikuta will be leader and Ayumi as sub-leader.

Yeah, I also read about 11ki+12ki+13ki by now. So at this point I'm a little at a loss again. Right now I still think it's Mizuki because of the concerts before this one. But there might be some special treatment again at Budokan for some of the girls and I'm eager to see who gets more spotlight than usual.

I had a dream about Kudo recently... but, a lot of my dreams about Japanese stuff doesn't happen lol

[RihoZukki]

I'm ready for this lineup to change already, someone needs to go.

[taskinist]

^ it just... got here

[taylorniw]

I maintain Mizuki isn't going anywhere. She's only 20 and hasn't expressed any real interest in anything else. I can see every 10th gen member leaving before her.

[rinafest'19]

I see Mizuki leaving maybe like right after she hits 5 years as leader.

[RihoZukki]

^ it just... got here

Elaborate.

[megumibex]

I think they mean this lineup has only been around since January (and technically Masaki has been on hiatus so if you count that the currant lineup has only been around since March 18th, 3 days ago) so it seems strange to be sick of it already.

I mean it really did. We just got two new members. Tech a new lineup. Plus it hasn't even been a year since Zukki  left. 
Members don't need to leave every year. 

[taskinist]

Yeah that's what I mean, it's been a couple weeks since the first single with this lineup, and like Gabby said it hasn't even been a year since the last grad.

[hanaa-san]

Honestly i feel like they need to wait at least another year or two years for another graduation, this lineup doesn't need to be more unstable right now, i think that the group should concentrate in making themselves more popular and getting more known to the public and wotas, Zukki just graduated last year and two new members were added, the members and also the fans need to adjust to those changes the group had.

[RihoZukki]

Oh I see... Sorry for misunderstanding.

[sukibeam]

I'm hoping we're safe of any graduations this year, seeing as their 20th anniversary is coming up (formation in fall and debut in January) and they'll likely want to spend the year powering up and promoting that. Next grad will probably be spring 2018...

 

I say that, but watch we'll have a grad announced for the end of this spring Q.Q

[Yasser96]

Yeah, I'm sure all of the current members will want to be apart of the 20th anniversary year. In 2018, I think we'll see at least 2 graduations - either a double or 2 single ones and 14ki audition will probably be announced in spring 2018 tour.

[honeyharunanfan]

I feel like it's gonna be either Ayumi or Maachan.

[ajma93632]

So I think I'm part of the few people who don't think a graduation is near. Maybe somebody for 2018, but I don't think who, maybe one of the 4 oldest. I want this line up to be stable for 2020, it's not very likely but it's my wish

[miyooooons]

For some reason I've been thinking 14th Gen might not be too far off....like the audition might get announced by the end of this year. Idk why I feel that way but that's just how I feel. And then they'll be announced maybe January 2018.

 

And next to leave I'd say is a 10th Gen member, but not until 14th Gen get's added. And it'll be maybe 3-4 girls.
