[GENERAL] The SKE48 Thread

still think it's 2014.. sorry... anyway with akb's team I think they're doing fine right now.. something is really lacking with ske for some reason.

 

I'm missing those kissu datte hidarikiki time.. Ske was so solid during that time, their senbatsu is also solid too. For me those were their prime days.

 

technically when you see the pushed/popular members graduating, you really can't help but think that something wrong is going on within SKE. So who's next? lol

 

the exodus continues at ske 48 a ranked girl in 2 ssk elections ...will the ske management please sort this out ???

 

i really hope this single they will do a grad song for all the members that have gone

 

The Graduations for SKE48 (counting Yamada's kennin). January's already happen, Two for this month, 5 for March, and 1 for April (two if you count Yamada's)

 

I understand the beginning of the year in Japan is an important change season and what-have-you... but when only the SKE girls are taking the step out of the group one can only think there's something iffy going on there.

 

its mngmnt's fault! she ranked 2 ssk
they didnt push her after this
was like in the 3rd row in team E songs
what the ****** is wrong with them!! im so pissed right now they really must to push their OWN girls and not kennin and transfer members

I don't believe we will see senbatsu regulars be part of this graduation train. But it's obvious that the ranks are thinning for anyone above a certain age who isn't getting the spotlight. If this continues, the 7th gen and the upcoming draft members will just be enough to cover the losses and make all the teams theatre ready again.

 

at least for 2nd gen members like umeda-san already gained fame. but what about kana-san? most of the akb members who had graduated has replaced with talented members and has good kyara..

 

Wow... looks like they might have to draft a lot again this year, or accept almost all 7th gen.

I really wish one of the top members would come out and say something reassuring for the fans, even just a "we'll do our best, don't worry" would be nice at this point...

 

Rena blogged about it:

This is tough. I'm not up for debating management's missteps or the rumblings of complaints girls are making on 755, no amount of analysis is going to reverse any of their decisions. I'm just sad to see the numbers dwindling and I'm sure this isn't the last announcement for awhile.

SKE needs a complete and total rebirth. I do anticipate Rena announcing graduation this year and I don't think the group will undergo the transformation it needs until Jurina is out as well. Obviously WMatsui have been a huge part of my love for SKE, but that SKE is gone and it's time to fully hand over the reigns to the newer gens.

 

^ agree. Time to begin the 2nd Chapter of SKE48 in my opinion.

 

Yep. NMB48 has FuuMiru (+Nagisa?) and HKT48's SakuRuppi still have ample time to peak (+arguably NakoMiku). Anmi and Uha are great, but I think they still kinda lack impact. Perhaps bring Suuchan to the front? (Disclaimer: this is a joke)

 

It's time for Tani Marika to step up to the plate.

 

I hope so. Hopefully this is the last SKE48 Grad announcement for a while.

 

... actually, i kinda see her graduating, many comments of other members were hints. (We need to see Shibata reaction to this)
So, NINE graduations in less than two months.. and is speculated that only TEN will be accepted as the 7th gen. This is not "growing" is renewing the rooster...

 

I super agree with this. I think ske has the weakest new wcenters among the 48g.
