    With 2015 coming to a close. I figure we could do the stage48 yearly tradition (recently for all of the groups). Also the first time for this group. Do wonder what you guys are hoping for Keyakizaka46's first full year.

    So what are your hopes, fears, and Predictions for 2016 with Keyakizaka46?

    Only hopes for this group..

    NO MORE DEAR MY TEACHER THINGS!!!
    NO KENNINS WITH NOGIZAKA!!!
    First single in the first quarter of 2016!!
    Breaking the curse of the sister groups:
    -Having almost the same releases as Nogi
    -Having their own image, completely different from Nogi and if possible, the less related, the better.

    Hopes
    • Good music. Not a particular pattern to it like sister groups usually get. Just give them good songs.
    • Kanayaki members are treated well.
    • group itself get better treatment than AKB48G sisters.
    Fears
    • Only 1 or 2 singles a year.
    • Overly established group character like HKT (young and bubbly) or NMB (sexy)
    Predictions
    • Debut in March
    • 2-3 singles in the first year.
    • less nonsense than 48 sisters. Sony wants Nogi and Keyaki to detach from that sinking ship.

    Hopes: increasing sales, increasing skills, good songs, the KeyaKaki TV show continues to be as good as it is.

    Fears: stalled sales, the wrong kind of song, too many current members dropped from the senbatsu, Hiragana Keyaki members brought in too soon.

    Predictions: all the hopes and none of the fears. Lol.

    Senbatsu: I think they may keep it where it is, only adding Neru, until the third or fourth single, when a couple of Hiragana Keyaki members may be added, and a number of current members dropped to make two 16-member units. And it looks to me as if Neru may enter the front line right away, either dropping Berika or adding one more to make seven (Yukkaa? Berisa? Habu? Akanen? Mona?). It is also possible, however, that Neru will stay as the centre of Hiragana Keyaki, and not enter the main senbatsu. But I doubt management will be able to restrain itself.

    I'm a big fan of Suzumoto, obviously, and I can't imagine dropping the best dancer (she and Techi are both great) from the front line. I think the members look up to her for her dancing and her seriousness and hard work. A few months ago, Akanen said she was the member she would be if she could: she can sing, her dancing is terrific, and she is beautiful. A lot of fans want to drop her from the front line, both within Japan and overseas. I doubt management will do that, since any group needs the foundation of top singing and dancing, but you never know. It's hard to drop Berika, since she is so popular, even if her dancing is just okay.

    Fears: The back row girls from SaiMajo are resigned to undergirls/back row status forever D:
    Hopes: All Kanji Keyaki members remain in senbatsu for a looong time

    I really love the current setup as it puts all 1st gen members on relatively equal ground and it's so refreshing to have an 48/46 group where no one is being seriously neglected... so far...
