Oh this is yuko's last single now I wonder, according to our fandom it was big drop of slots when it come to this making some fanbases to tease/put pressure to the Yuko-Oshi fanbases saying that will they let their Oshi last single break the million-streak. Well whatever as long as they still alive things will be fun like the current NMB48 vs Nogizaka46 fandom war hahahaha on the other hand some delusional fans are saying that AKB is copying and envying their fandom lol say that after you break their records and produced a VERY ORIGINAL IDOL events like those in our fandom (Request Hour, Senbatsu Election, Janken Tankai, Draft, Theatre shows, kouhaku taiko uta gassen) and make sure THEY WILL RATE hahaha
he 19 members drafted into AKB48 groups in the "AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi" last November greeted the audience on the 3rd day of the "AKB48 Request Hour Set List Best 200 2014" held at Tokyo Dome City Hall on January 25.
It has been more than two months since the Draft Kaigi, but aside from Yamamoto Mao (17) who was drafted into HKT48's Team H1 and made her debut on stage at an HKT48 concert on January 19th, there has been no news of the other draft members until this day.
At the concert, the draft members, some of whom were so nervous that they cried, introduced themselves before an audience over 2000 strong. Sutou Ririka (17) who was selected by 3 teams in the first round did not disappoint as she introduced herself with an impersonation of NMB48's Ichikawa Miori, "NMB48's Team N ......The girl who wants to become a fresh lemon~ Ichikawa Miori-senpai's junior, Sutou Ririka!"
Inspired by the freshness of the 19 draft members, first generation member Minegishi Minami (21) proposed a "old vs draft member fiery contest" to see who can "stand the longest on one foot while closing your eyes."
Team H's draft member Yamamoto went up against HKT48's Sashihara Rino (21) and declared that, "I will definitely not lose to Sashihara!". As it was quite a close game, and Minegishi told them to wrap it up, Yamamoto won by pushing Sashihara which showcased the variety skills HKT members are known for and brought up the atmosphere at the concert.
Oshima Yuko (25) and her "minion" Shimada Haruka (21) together introduced Team K's first draft Goto Moe (12) and second draft Shimoguchi Hinana (12) who are now said to be Shimada's "minions". The two six-graders formed a "Namai Kids" combination and introduced themselves with their own pose. Oshima said, "So cute~" but added that, "just self-introduction isn't interesting at all. Please introduce yourselves with what you are good at and promote yourselves."
Goto, who said that she is, "good at singing and dancing. Especially singing" showed off the chorus of her audition song "Aitakatta" along with the audience's clapping and was praised by Oshima.
Meanwhile, Shimoguchi showed off her high notes and made a face with her eyes rolled, and Shimada declared that, "Yuko-san, you cannot lose to her, you are an actress!" In response, Oshima also made her usual weird face and taught the new draft members that as the future of AKB48, they must be willing to do whatever that is asked of them.
This quite unique I really like to see more girls
On the January 26 episode of "Nogizakatte, doko?" (TV Tokyo), the 16 senbatsu members to participate in the title track for Nogizaka46's 8th single due to be released on April 2 were announced.
Every single released by the group in 2013 featured different members as the center, which include Ikoma Rina for the 5th single "Kimi no Na ha Kibou", Shiraishi Mai for the 6th single "Girls Rule" and second generation member Hori Miona for the 7th single "Barrette".
For the first single of 2014, it was announced that Nishino Nanase will be the center for the first time. After the news was announced, Nishino commented that, "I have never been the type to be in the center. It still doesn't feel real to me, but I have heard that the center is someone who brings out the best in the people around her. I will seize this opportunity and try my best to be like that."
This time, the members will be arranged such that there are 5 members in the first row, 5 in the second and 6 at the back. Usually there are 7 or 8 members in the front row, but this time they have been reduced to only 5 members who, on top of Nishino, also include Shiraishi, Ikoma, Hori and Hashimoto Nanami.
Furthermore, first generation member Higuchi Hina and Wada Maaya, as well as second generation member Kitano Hinako have been selected as senbatsu for the first time. It will also be member Kawamura Mahiro's first time returning to a senbatsu since her appearance in the first single "Guru Guru Curtain".
It has been announced that AKB48 groups will reshuffle for the third time since in 2012.
The shuffle will take place at the "AKB48 Group Dai Sokaku Matsuri" (AKB48 Group Big Team Shuffle Festival) to be held at Zepp DiverCity TOKYO on February 24.
The team shuffle was announced during the encore at the 4th day of the "AKB48 Request Hour Set List Best 200 2014" held at the Tokyo Dome City Hall on January 26.
When there were only two songs left to the show, the words "Big Team Shuffle" suddenly appeared on the screen behind, surprising the members who had known nothing before hand. It was then announced that the shuffle will take place on February 24 at the "AKB48 Group Dai Sokaku Matsuri" at Zepp DiverCity TOKYO.
Upon hearing the news, the members who were near began hugging one another and several teared up, enveloping the concert hall with tension. At that moment, HKT48's newly appointed Team KIV captain Ota Aika said, "But I just became captain!", breaking the ice and drawing laughter from the audience.
While the members on stage are still confused, AKB48 group's general director Takahashi Minami said, "We don't know what kind of team shuffle will occur but as different people go on to different teams, AKB48 will be come even bigger and better in 2014. Please look forward to February 24, Zepp DiverCity TOKYO. Thank you."
More details on the "AKB48 Group Dai Sokaku Shuffle Matsuri" will be revealed at a later date.

Hahaha this is fun, the most intense fandom strikes again but I beleive it is because of Yuko's graduation that they need to push/discover new girls/hidden talents or else they will fully sink. BTW the new center of Nogi's single is the girl who Shori likes in his drama Forty Nine![]()
The title is "Maeshika Mukanee", and Oshima Yuko who will be graduating from the group, serves as the center for the title track.
The single will have Type A, B, C and theater edition.
