    If she hasn't, there's nothing to hold her back. considering that the chance to do it is virtually zero since Takamina graduation. :^^;:
    Maybe she had after Kojimatsuri, nobody knows :D

    So, who's next? Myao still look stable I guess. Tanabe? or maybe one of my 3rd gen favourite pair :|

    I wouldn't be surprised if Suuchan announces her graduation within the next few months. I don't think there's anything left for her in SKE and she's been getting some jobs outside of SKE. If her fans don't power vote her this year for SSK, she's mostly like going to drop out considering how close she was last year.

    Okada Ayaka just announced. Another 13th gen...

    Absolutely zero reaction from theater audience. Not even an "ehhhh".

    This one actually surprises me.
    She finally ranked last year and the documentary had a lot of focus on her due to her personal story.
    I'd think things were starting to pick up for her, but... :(

    I guess being 18 she wants to do other stuff. She's been doing this for almost 6 years.

    Wow...especially since it was a Team 4 kouen, ouch.

    Sakkii might announce her graduation next too. She seems to be the only remaining 13th gen (from those that haven't announced their graduation) to have never been pushed and never ranked.

    It is the right time to quit if she wants to quit. Anyway, in terms of being an idol, I feel that she is less passionated about it. Sure, she ranked in the last SSK, but that might be because of the documentary. I think she knows it too.
    As for Saki, I can imagine her being a theater girl. I think she still has the passion for it. Also she is 20yrs old next June, so a tiny bit past the ideal time if she wants to graduate.
    I'm sad, but not really surprised by the announcement.

    Kitazawa Saki is a high possibility, she is a rather shy member and despite being attractive/having a nice voice, she has a very withdrawn vibe (kinda reminds me of Nonaka Misato's case years ago, minus the mini push)

    I hope Saki doesn't announce graduation ._. She has a nice voice and she performs well... So many theater girls leave nowadays, 1/3 of the girls who were in the Boku no Taiyou revival have announced grad. and that was the only stage I enjoyed watching in the past year :/ I don't want more theater girls to leave ._. even though I understand their reasons. anyway I'm not really surprised about Okada Ayaka, somehow I kinda expected it, even though she ranked.

    How I already wrote in Ayaka thread I think management should do something for stop this tremendous trend. We keep losing important members. And fans too..
    Ayaka was gold in theatre, like Mariyannu..

    The funny thing about the "mid gens" is that the actual mid generation right now is the 15th.
    Excluding grad announced, incoming kennins, transfers and team 8, AKB has 69 members.
    30 older than the 15th gen and 29 newer.

    Ah, I didn't count them because my list was just for original AKB members who debuted with 1st-15th gen + Draft. Of course, AKB has more members (transfer etc.), but I wanted to see the remaining "original" AKB girls XD @kanjo You're right that 14th/15th gen are basically mid-gens if we count team 8 and 16th gen. However, since I don't count team 8 and 16th gen on my list, I decide to consider 14th-15th as new gens LOL they're younger & more "new" than 9th-13th.

    Other than team 8 and 16th gen, AKB also has 3 transfer members: Kizaki Yuria, Nakanishi Chiyori, Nozawa Rena. and 1 taiwanese member: Ma Chia Ling. and currently 7 kennins from sister groups (not counting the team 8 kennins). I'm mentioning it here since I didn't count them on the list ^^;

    Guess that's what AKB deserves for putting those girls in a single every 2~ years, and once they're in you can barely see them lol.
    But yeah Okada Ayaka's grad announcement is rather surprising. I thought she will be there for another good 3-4 years especially with the ssk and documentary thing

    It is actually great that akb is cleaning out all these dead weight girls who literally do nothing.
