Generation 2nd Gen Thread Official

Now down to one... (Suzuki Ayane)

 

Ayane-chan graduates on the 10th anniversary of their formation.

Thus ends 2ki...

 

And, eventually these 1gen and 2gen official threads will be forgotten.

Everything that has a beginning must have an end..

 

Sadly there is no 1st Gen official thread. It was most likely the General Nogi thread. It has already been lost to time...

 

Finally the end of an era.

I feel the 2nd gen is the 'forgotten generation' of Nogizaka46...

 

As long as Yoda hasn't graduated, there will always be a 1st gen member. . .she has Erika-san's endorsement!

 

After the graduation.. I forgot it was 2nd Gen's anniversary. Karin didn't: https://twitter.com/karin___ito/status/1640743232014540800?s=20



Cake is the yellow shirt they wore at their introduction!

 

It's the same cake design they have in the past

 

I'm curious, if they were together to celebrate the anniversary with the cake, including Kyoka, Risako and Nanami. Maybe the last photo of all of them would be great.

 

I don't think they all were there at Ayane's graduation concert. Here's Karin's insta showing the 2nd Gens who were on stage: https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWtTR9yzbZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Now who knows if there were a few who didn't want to be or were not told to be in the photograph.

 

Okay. I'm stumped.

After viewing 6th Gen's first song, it left me wondering who were 2nd Gen's front trio?

From the start, it's the legendary IkuiHoshi. Third wind was Momo, Kubo, Yama. Fourth light is Kakki, Endo, Tsutsui. Fifth's Dispair was Nagi, Miku, Iroha.

There was no 2nd Gen song, so do I have to reference Live Kami or another song for their trio? Miona, Kiichan, then who?

Did management really mess up with 2nd Gen? Feels like it.

 

In my mind the 3rd person was Ranze.. I don't remember where I got that impression, though

 

2nd gen has different circumtances than 3ki, 4ki, 5ki and 6ki. When they joined Nogi, they didn't eventually become a member of Nogizaka. They started it as kenkyuusei or trainee. And, management pick a member to enter Nogizaka main team.
The first one was Miona (airdrop 7th center). And then, Kiichan, Maichun, Karin, and Iori. Iori become senbatsu member of Inochi.
Then, Junna, Rena, Ayane, KTK, Miria and Ranze became official Nogi member in early 2015. These six girls also got their song, "Border", with Ranze center and Miria KTK beside her. So, Border might be the earliest 2nd gen song. But, because of the trainee system, which adopted from 48g, 2nd gen doesn't has that trio front like other gen.
