    Agree with this.

    For AKB members, you can see the anniversary photos they sell based on the generation each of them belongs to. You will see a lot of girls just standing alone, and who knows when they will decide to graduate.

    I think there there are two kind of 'bonds' in AKB, your generation and your team, with the generation being the strongest, as fellow generation member graduate, the bond with AKB weakens and I think it's harder to form solid friendships across generations if the gap get's to big I think.
    (unless you spent lots of time or experiences with another generation or in senbatsu) So, yeah, I can see why members of almost 'extinct' generations will be think of graduating themselves as well.

    So it's the end of the year and even though there's a few days left (fingers crossed no more announcements!), here is what I have compiled for the year in terms of graduations, spanning Japan48 and Sister Groups48:

    Graduation Full Year 2019 Statistics

    AKB* – 24
    SKE – 14
    NMB - 16
    HKT – 6
    NGT - 9
    STU - 10
    Nogi – 5
    Keyaki – 1
    Hinata - 1
    JKT - 22
    BNK - 3
    MNL - 36
    SGO - 2

    *I include Team SH and Team TP with AKB48


    And these members have announced and will graduate next year (for some I have a set date):

    AKB:
    Yahagi Moeka (February 2020)
    Minegishi Minami (April 2nd, 2020)

    SKE:
    Takayanagi Akane (2020)
    Kataoka Narumi (April 2, 2020)

    MNL:

    For some reason this wasn't posted here yet. I know this is not 48G, but a key 46G - in this case Nogizaka46 - member has, unfortunately, after speculating over the past year or two, finally announced graduation:

    She announced it in "Setochare!", which aired from 0:35~0:50 JST. However, most of the time this would be considered 01/18. Not sure how it will be counted (nor is it really matter)

    Also, because a leg injury... Omg... Just after Miochan...;w;

    She is one of my first crushes in the group, I really liked her since the start... I'm so sad !
    This year for me as an HKT fan will be sad. I lost two of my oshis in two months.

    Man, it's about time HKT got some promotions to compensate for the loss of some of their best (Pii-chan was the besss)

    I heard they are going to be moved to Avex, anyone knows if that's true? Could be the reason for such a long time with so many grads and no promotions.

    Another Sakamichi graduation announcement. But this one is bigger than Maiyan's graduation announcement, and one doesn't even want to say her departure as a 'graduation' but instead as a 'withdrawal':

    Hirate Yurina as in Yurisus will leave (they didn't even use the word "graduate"? )!!!!

    Wow.

    It would be a challenge for Keyaki to move past through this since they allowed the narrative that only Techi can be the best or suitable center for Keyaki to perpetuate.

    Basically Techi's withdrawing from Keyakizaka46 is pretty similar with Azusa with NMB and Nabila with JKT. Both of them use "withdrawn" term, left their group immediately and I bet made other member went pissed :fear:

    Hope Keyaki will recover from this situation
    no wonder takahiro-sensei works with JO1 now, knowing his favorite pupil would withdraw -ah whatever

    The rumor is, the guy (Maeda Harumasa) who will be the new president/in charge of the "new" HKT, was a creative music director for AVEX.

    Does that mean the whole group will move from Universal Japan to AVEX? Probably not.
