    Nah, I think she should stay in AKB as an honorary member or something to where she isn't bound by some of the rules/guidelines. She is 30 with kids after all.

    Mariri in SDN? :p Absolutely not.. she's a mother…

    I do wish SDN was still around though. I never really knew why they disbanded, actually. Wiki48 is marvelous for straight facts, but there's a lot of historical information missing as a whole.. Especially in terms of scandals, stories, etc.

    Rumour was that they lost their main sponsor, and since compared to the other groups they had low sales and a niche, hard to market concept, it would be difficult to find another.

    Well that's a shame :( I guess they were being held to the same standards as AKB and SKE in terms of sales… They would've needed some more high-profile transfers, if that's what they wanted.

    they had the best music of the 48 universe, in my opinion. I wish they covered more of their songs nowadays… though Dasu, Milky, and Yukirin's take on the Garter song pretty much satisfied me FOR LIFE ;)

    So, about Mariri.. has there been anything said about a release of Oshiete Mommy? Everyone keeps guessing it's going to be on Type D of Kokoro no Placard. I was hoping more for a Team 8 song or something :p

    Does she have her own thread??? i love her so much shes like acts like mother~
    There was that one episode of AKBingo where she cried because that other 12 year old member worked really hard on her danso
    and then when hot hot oden challenge and the girl blew on the food before she put it on the other girl's face to cool it down and Tsukamoto nodded her head approvingly like a mother.

    I love her motherly actions so much it makes me feel all tingly inside <3

    What unit do you guys think Mariri will get? I hope she gets Zannen Shoujo or Kuchi Utsushi no Chocolate! :cute: Kataomoi no Taikakusen would be great also!

    Well this doesn't come as a surprise.
    It was stated from the very beginning that she would still in AKB only for the duration of the campaign. Although i was expecting her graduation announcement for the upcoming theater show.

    Wasn't her short run as an AKB member more successful than Team 8 and all the draftees combined though? :^^;: And it is weird... at first I jokingly thought she was just hired in a Machiavellian way to make some of the older gen girls look more young by having them stand next to a 30+ year old mother of two (lol), but she actually kinda looked and acted younger than her kouhais so it actually made some of them look even older. :XD:

    Well, her theater show was her birthday performance so you couldn't really sic a graduation announcement on it too.

    I watched Mariri's show and well....her dancing was messy and her lipsynch was pretty bad at the start but for a debut it was fine and she had fun. She centred Kataomoi no taikakusen and I think she sung at least some of it live and after a bad start she performed the rest of it well.

    During the latter part of the stage Nishino Miki helped out Mariri quite a lot with gently showing her where to go next at various points of songs and of course there were tears from Mariri during Arigatou! There was a letter from Mayuyu and all in all it was a fun stage and for someone trying to keep up with girls 20+ years younger than her she did pretty well.
