last singe before the departure of sakura nako and honda for IZONE which will be back on April 2021

 

Modelpress quick off the blocks with the news: https://mdpr.jp/news/detail/1794599

 

Trivia: This is the last single for Sakura, Nako, and Hitomi before they went fully committed to Izone activity.

Their exclusive contract will end on 21 April 2021. Before that, no more 48G activity for them.

 

Reward for top20 pd48 contestant

 

2021!?

 

A lot of new entries Congrats to all of them!

Wait... what’s gonna happen to Hiichan as Tochigi’s rep though?

 

Poor goto moe, she should've been included as well due to her new gain international popularity

 

Congrats Maya for 1st AKB senbatsu.

I also smell Teacher Teacher 2.0 because of the Kpop invasion.

 

This single...feels bad man

 

Ok I'm currently in a mess so I'll try my best to sum them up.
Exclusive contract?! Oh god. HKTis gonna wither with Sakura and Nako gone.
I'm glad the Miho, Miyu and Miu got in!! (Myao second row!!) Plus Miyu got into senbatsu before she graduates... Glad for her
This is: what about Jurina and Akarin (NMB)? Jurina is still not fully recovered i suppose but what about Akarin? Let's not even talk about others girls who recieved attention thanks to pd48.

 

Really??? No TeamK representative???

 

Yeah I think a PD48 single with just PD48 members would have been a much better idea. Go all the way or don't do it at all, imo. I wish Mako, particularly, was included

Kuranoo is in Team K they just listed her as Team 8 first

 

Feels bad man. I like Hiichan but man, another single that we didn't push anyone from AKB. No one from Team K, surprising. I don't think we'll see any more push from anyone until next year. Just buy this for handshake and Request Hour tickets.

 

tbh idk why is maya here like srsly not even yunana? cld h just replace her with moe

 

Congrats for the senbatsus

May I say "NO WAY MAN!"?

When you have an AKB member out of the three and still pick an HKT member as center? NWM!
#akbpurist

Exclusive contract for 2.5 years after 54th single promotion? NWM!

No Yuiri and Komi? NWM!
Well at least Berin still there.

Feel bad for HKT. Watanabe Akari need to step up fast. Or....you know who

 

who's the center?

ah ok it's sakura, makes sense

 

No Yuiri, Tomu or Komiharu? wt...

 

AKB has given us the perfect response to anything in wota life = NWM!

(PS: its the answer to "why?")

 

No official Team K member, no Tomu... Congratulation for Top 20 of PD48 for making the senbatsu (Myao, Miu & Miyu). But they put the Team G girl who had a scandal instead of Tomu, Yuiri or even Komiharu?! Now I just wish that Hana was in that spot instead of her .
