    For criticizing a girl we don't even know if she exists?

    17th Gen auditions closed in February and we got the theatre debut/unveiling on the 4th of May (I remember the date easily because it's my birthday hehe). 18th Gen auditions closed in November, so technically February would be a similar time frame. I'm hoping we'll get to see them by March at the latest.

    yeah I've been following her since NMB 9th gen auditions (where she also got 1st in SR part, but dunno how far she went because she somehow mysteriously never mentioned that). It's a shame she failed again, because I find her very attractive and she's clearly extremely talented in singing and dancing, even could speak decent English actually! It's hard to say though, we always only see glimpses of their actual attitude... Also has to be said her SR skills were paradoxically "too good" and the way she acted was off-putting for a big part of 48g fans (tbh I wasn't a big fan of it either lol).

    Aichan said on SR that she has met the 18th gen girls:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    They were present at the hanashikai venue (not clear whether offline or online one) and greeted the senpais while standing in a line.
    Just like how 17ki did it before.

    Ready to be revealed then? Maybe next week?
    Excited!:banana:

    I checked the dates in the first post and the final examination was on January 28, so I guess the members of the 18th gen have been decided and are getting ready right now! and I also checked in the 17th gen thread, when AKB members started talking about meeting the 17th gens, it was just a few days before 17th gen got introduced. it will probably take a little more time this time though but I hope by the end of March or early April, we'll have the 18th gen intro! it's exciting ^^ I hope they'll have around the same amount of members as 17th gen.

    Gyoten is describing the new 18th gen as "looking like modern girls visual", "having long legs", "slim", and "having small face".

    They're finally going to be introduced, this is exciting :cute: I'm really curious for the amount of members. Last time with 17th gen, we knew because of the (blurry) leaked picture, but this time, we have no idea. I hope it's something like 8-12 members, seems like this is a good number for the fans to learn all names/faces and for every member to be promoted well.

    Yurina's description of the 18th gens reminds me of last year when some members talked about 17th gen before their introduction. Basically, they're saying the gen has pretty girls :^^;: I guess we can expect 18th gen to be similar to 17th gen in style... This makes me curious to see them lol. Just a few more days! (I wonder if I'll have a new oshimen in this gen...)

    amazing. I fully expected 18th gen to put pressure on 17th gen. didn't they could be a threat to every member. they even have a new YuiYui
    17th gen look like 10 misfits now. I may not post in their thread again

    minna is really quite kawaii bunch.
    everyone does seems to have “small face” like Yurina said. i actually think 18th gen looks prettier (overall) than 17th. pretty faces like sakamichi46 members . but with some quirky features enough to pass as AKB memba. welldone. looking forward to see these flowers buds blooming beautifully.
