[POLL] When will the first generation be dead?

Kojima Haruna: 2015
Takahashi Minami: 2016
Minegishi Minami: 2018

 

They won't be dead for another 8 decades or so not accounting for freak accidents.

 

They will all be gone by end of next year.

 

WTF with this title?

 

I don't think Takamina will leaver, ever. I agree with your estimate on Kojiharu, but 2018 for Miichan? No way, she'll leave sooner than that.

It's more or less baseless speculation though, apart from Takamina.

 

They will die after they all reach at least 80 years old and probably get married.
So we have now started turned into a fortune teller, predicting death of every member now?

 

First thought was : "Soon"

 

I love the title, funny, and everybody knows what it intends. When will the 1st gen be dead within AKB, no more.

I suspect soon. These girls are starting to look old against the others. I thought Kojiharu should be gone already...she is totally a woman now and no longer the mostly young idolish type of AKB. I guess she could join another more mature idol group if she wanted to continue this type of work.

Minegishi I think will probably see the light and go out whilst still 'on top' though she will hate to leave.....the longer she stays the more there will be chatter about when she should go.

Takamina, could stay on in a nominal form, and appearing less often, and more involved in the mangement type side of the work. But she must be getting tired, and realise everything is different now for her, than those golden days. I think she will retire out of fatigue. BUT expect the biggest send off ever.....and I think she will wait (or they will want her to wait) to be the last of the originals to leave. How about a massive goodbye Takamina at Tokyo Dome end of 2015.

 

I think most of us are hoping for Takamina to leave at the 10th anniversary.
So... maybe another Tokyo Dome series on the 4th, 5th and 6th of December (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and her graduation performance on the 8th?

I think Kojiharu will announce hers befote the year ends, so hopefully she'll be gone before the next election.

Miichan could stay out of it (her votes could help other fellow 4s) and leave during the summer.

 

I don't like this title either. Change it for a more formal title please.

 

^ agreed The First Generation will NEVER be dead. They will just be gone. Not dead.

Don't know if they would do that. I think they could do what they were originally going to do with Yuko (the theater graduation a couple of months after the Stadium or Dome Graduation). I'd have no problem with that tbh (I like that both Yuko and Haachan waited till their handshakes and 2 shots were done to officially graduate)

 

That's because the HS schedule went nuts and they had to participate anyway.
In Yuko's case, the weather made her stay around until June, so her last HS in May seemed fitting.

If they catch up with the schedules, the post-election single would be the last a-side where Takamina would appear, with her graduation song in the fall single or something.

 

Still thinking about death here though #euphemism

Miichan 2 years, Kojiharu 1 year, Takamina for the 10 years anniversary, and then move to management !

 

Since they are all in No3b, wouldn't it be fitting if they graduated together? Crescendo was a great Team A song, maybe they could do a farewell performance/concert or something. They could announce at different times, but leave together. Takamina is so important that it's hard to know how much she has invested in AKB, and what she plans to do with her career. Miichan could hand things over to Yuria and the aces of Team 4, that's not something that will change much.

Haruna Kojima's reluctance leads me to believe she doesn't want to leave yet though, lol. For being the most ready (age and career wise), she might be the last of the three to go.

 

I would like each of them to have a graduation concert. NOT one concert for three of them. That's so unfair if they dont have special graduation concert each

 

In my heart they'll always have a place where I'll remember them until the day I die...and that's all that matters to me...

 

I don't think Takamina will ever "leave" - she'll probably "graduate" in a few more years and just shift over completely to the management side. I can't really imagine an AKB48 without Takamina, honestly.

I'm not sure when Kojima wants to leave but she really shouldn't be staying in the group any longer. Is there a reason why she is so reluctant to leave (other than emotional attachments, I mean)?

Minegishi I feel will stay around the longest since essentially she has been "reborn" and is only 22 this year. I feel she'll probably be around up till 2018 at least.

 

All three would announce their graduation during AKB48 10th year anniversary

 

Why do so many people think Minegishi is ready to leave, or that she needs to or something? She is fine where she is, she's only 21, I see no reason why she can't stay on for many more years.

 

People simply can't move on from her scandal and the fact that her popularity is slipping lately.
