Happy 23th Birthday, Haru-chan! 

Happy 22th Birthday!

(I still remember! Even Hello!Online seems to be a bid deserted these days w/o the tracker. )

My final "favourite" member is graduating soon too (Ueki Nao). I simply don't have time (or actually interest) to keep up with all the new (and too young) members anymore. Now I'm many years older compared to when I started with the whole 48 stuff… starting to feel a bit weird actually to "cheer" for those teen girls.  Same with anime… at some point you grow out of things.

With Nao graduating there's no reason for me anymore to keep up with HKT Variety 48 either... besides AKBINGO! it's the only show I'm still downloading and try to keep up with so far.  After that it's back to downloading AKBINGO! only again… exactly with what my AKB48 fandom started back in the good old days many, many years ago. Didn't watch AKBINGO! since like 2 or 3 years though… just the files piling up on my hard disk.

But it's full circle, I guess. And maybe a bit sad too. And perhaps my last post here in the forum too?

For me personally the best period was when NMB48 launched. The original Team N concept was top.

The end of a golden era, IMHO. Nothing ever came close to the original Team N, IMHO (not even the original Team K )

Only 4 other 1st gens left now.
