    Yes! The news we Takamina oshi have been waiting for (@TakaOshiMina). I have to admit that I completely lost hope for this single after the album was announced...

    However, I'm iffy about the date but oh well.

    i guess the big question now is how big senbatsu is going to be. do they want takamina going out with a bang, centering a huge 32-nin senbatsu, or do they want it to be a bit more intimate, at 16? maybe smaller, like 10? i feel like she has to be center for this one or not in it at all and just have a b-side graduation song.

    It seems like Minami will center this song after all. No confirmation yet but I can feel it. If not, at least we know her graduation song will be included on it.

    Would seem odd for the Center of the single to be the member who graduated from the group the day before it's released.

    Not saying she can't be - but what about post-release promotion, performances, and events.

    her graduation date is still unconfirmed ... i don't understand why everyone is assuming she will graduate december 8th
    Anyway if she is the center surely she will participate in the single promotion

    there is a precedent - yamada nana graduated less than a week after DLB's official release date so provided there's good promo beforehand (and i have no doubt they'll go all out for takamina) we'll have plenty of performances. i wouldn't be surprised if they kicked promo for this single into high gear right after halloween is over

    I thought she said she was going to graduate at the 10th anniversary? Has there been any statements that say otherwise?

    Takamina only said is still unconfirmed , but if the date is already decided since last year why they are wainting for so long to announce?

    well i still hope her last theater concert will be in a separated date from the 10th anniversary

    Are you referring to the date of her graduation concert or the date of her graduation stage? o_O

    Huh, I always assumed whenever there's a date or two in an announcement regarding graduation, at least one would be the date of the member's final stage performance (like it has been for the members who graduated throughout AKB's history). *shrugs* Well, only time will tell...

    Anyways, I'm finally glad there's some news regarding Takamina's last few months of AKB. Finally. News during this past week has been slow since Janken ended lol.

    I'd really like to take the opportunity to be the first bitter HKT fan in this thread. :)

    Nah I really don't mind, I was expecting this actually. Even though a lot of people had given up, I thought this was a sure bet.

    I don't understand why there is confusion over her graduation date - she said it herself.

    "I, Takahashi Minami, on December 8th 2015, will graduate from AKB48."​

    Source for those who didn't watch the show: http://tkmnworld.tumblr.com/post/104672930523/141208-takahashi-minami-akb48-graduation

    Again, not saying she can't be the Center. I just don't know if it would be a good selling point, especially since the December singles never sell well. It would just be an unusual choice for a single that needs to appeal to both fans and the general public, in order to not end the million seller streak.
