    Team K kennin!

    Here's hoping she gets a prominent position there. That means... behind Sayanee, Jurina and Haruppi, obviously. Maybe pair her with Miion? :^^;:

    Wow, Ikumin in K was one of my crackpot predictions I made last year (back when she performed "Glory Days" on AKBingo) that I never expected to actually happen.

    But really I think this can potentially be a really good thing for her? She's had the most work with the main group but for the most part, has been kept in the ace spot of Team 8 rather safely. I'd really like to see her challenge herself as well as the other members and put herself out there, not only within her comfortable Team 8, but also throughout 48g and build up a presence for both herself and the team. And, as far as teams go, Team K with its aces from three different groups provides not only exposure for her but also a challenge for her to duke it out head to head with her senpais.

    Ikumin is my child, but she needs to be pushed outside of her comfort zone a little to toughen up and grow and I'm really excited because this is actually a great way for her to do so.

    True, but now that I've thought more of it, I'm kinda afraid of the Team 8 girls being put in other teams.

    I mean, I think the team is doing wonders because they're all comrades, they don't have senpais to look up to or to be intimidated by (you know, Japanese culture of staying quiet behind your seniors and whatnot).
    I don't want Ikumin to shrink into herself because she's standing with performing monsters like Sayanee or Jurina (and the same goes for Nanami and Nagisa).

    We'll have to wait and see how this works out.
    Hopefully we'll get team songs in the new single and see how she does there.

    I totally understand that, but at the same time I don't think I'm worried so much. Ikumin may be a bit of a scaredy cat and a crybaby, but she has guts. It might take her a while to adapt, but I fully believe that she won't allow herself to be overshadowed by Sayanee and Jurina, especially if the reputation of Team 8 is on the line.

    That and, to be honest this is something she'd have to deal with eventually one way or another. If she continues to be in senbatsu she'll have to deal with being intimidated by her senpais anyways, so if she's placed in more situations where she can adapt to this then I'm sure she'll be able to shine more and more within senbatsu, you know?

    And apparently shuffle changes aren't effective until after sousenkyo or something like that so we may have to wait until 42nd single unfortunately. :/

    I would have liked Ikumin to have been Kennin'd to B, if a Kennin was needed. Her presence there, I feel, would be more appreciated.

    And well, I AM B-oshi!:D

    After watching her break down in tears after 47Suteki at Request Hour, I'm dying to see those same tears this saturday when she ranks :D
