AKB, SKE, NMB and HKT's messages for CDTV's 30th anniversary:

 

[Stan BiSH]

all AKB48 teams are going to disband, they are going to be replaced by a new system of regular members and trainees




so what people think about this? coming from someone that is a very casual fan i think i would be more interested in AKB48 if they were to have a permanent line up but i imagine people that follow the individual teams may not be very happy about the idea of a new system

I'm curious about how things will be organized once the teams are gone... I'm not exactly sad about it because I didn't feel too attached to the teams nowadays, but I know that some members cared so it's a bit sad. but hopefully AKB has good plans for the future and they'll manage to give good promo to the girls!

AKB on DAM channel with Yukirin, Miion, Erii and Yukinee! This is a good video and all 4 of them look great! Yukinee is a 17th generation member (full name Hirata Yuki) who debuted one year ago, she is quite popular and already in senbatsu. She's pretty!
