Say what!!? 48group shuffle

Today the big shuffle concert AKB48 Group Daisokaku Matsuri ~Jidai wa Kawaru. Dakedo, Bokuraha Mae Shika Mukanee!~ (ＡＫＢ４８グループ大組閣祭り～時代は変わる。 だけど、僕らは前しか向かねえ！～) finally took place. It was so hard waiting for this but now it's finally over.. There were some big surprises and it definetely was a BIG shuffle!!
First, the STAFF changes:

STAFF
AKB48 Group General Manager: Kayano Shinobu
Head of AKB48 Customer Center: Togasaki Tomonobu

AKB48 Theater Manager: Yuasa Hiroshi
SKE48 Theater Manager: Imamura Etsuro, Shiba Kazuya (kenkyuusei)
NMB48 Theater Manager: Kaneko Takeshi
HKT48 Theater Manager: Ozaki Atsuki, Sashihara Rino

Soukantoku: Takahashi Minami
AKB48 Group Kenkyuusei “Society President” (研究生会会長) and Lifetime Honorary Kenkyuusei: Matsumura Kaori


Sorry, but as I'm not really informed about the staff I can only comment on the members being here.. :'D Wait, Shinobu?? And TGSK is what???
Takamina and Sasshi both kept their place and WTF are they doing with Kaotan?? It's funny though..
But let's look at every team now. I did something with the colours:

TEAM A
TEAM K
TEAM B
TEAM 4
TEAM S
TEAM KII
TEAM E
TEAM N
TEAM M
TEAM BII
TEAM H
TEAM KIV
SNH48
NOGIZAKA46
DRAFT MEMBER
PROMOTION
TRANSFER
KENNIN

I hope with the help of that it's easier to understand who comes from wich team. I tried to use the original colours and all the draft members are violet.. The kennin Team is always cursive, while the real Team is normal. This is to see who comes from which team originally!!
Have fun.. xD

AKB48

Team A
Captain: Takahashi Minami
Vice Captain: Nakamura Mariko (from Team B)

Ichikawa Manami (promotion),
Iriyama Anna
Katayama Haruka (from Team B)
Kawaei Rina
Kojima Natsuki(from Team B)
Kojima Haruna (from Team B)
Shimazaki Haruka (from Team B)
Takahashi Minami
Takita Kayoko (draft member)
Tatsuya Makiho (promotion)
Nakata Chisato (from Team K)
Nakanishi Chiyori (transfer from HKT48)
Nakamura Mariko (from Team B)
Nishiyama Rena (draft member)
Fujita Nana (from Team K)
Furuhata Nao (kennin, from Team K; Team KII, former Team E)
Maeda Ami (from Team K)
Matsui Sakiko
Miyawaki Sakura (kennin; Team KIV)
Muto Tomu (from Team K)
Morikawa Ayaka
Yagura Fuuko (kennin; Team M)


Honestly, I'm already pretty shocked.. What happened to Team A?? Only 5 (+1 kennin) stayed here!! They are the pushed members Annin, Rina and Fuuko, always-Team-A-member Takamina, Sakiko and I-don't-know-her-why-is-she-still-in-Team-A Ayaka (honestly, she's so not popular..).
The Team K shuffles are Chisato, Nana, Nao, Ami and Tomu. I can live with the first three but DAMN, both Ami and Tomu in Team A.. I love them so much and want them to stay in my favourite team *pout*. Well, they all fit Team A, so it's okay..
The Team B shuffles are Haachan, Kojiharu, Paruru (!!) and NakaMari. Not so many surprises here.. I'm pretty happy for Kojiharu and Paruru was obvious, wasn't it?? xD
There are two members from HKT: Sakura as a kennin and Chiyori as a transfer.. Kennin is understandable but what about Chiyori?? :O Well, I don't really know her, but she must be shocked..
The two draft members finally joined and there are two promotions: Ichikawa Manami and Tatsuya Makiho. I'm sorry but I don't know them.. Well congratulations girls. :D

Breakdown: 5 original + 1 original Kennin, 5 Team K, 4 Team B, 2 promotions, 2 drafties, 2 Kennin, 1 transfer = 22

A whole new Team A!! Well, there are now only Takamina, Kojiharu, Paruru and Rina as senbatsu members here.. perhaps again Annin? And perhaps soon Sakura.. This will be interesting. xD

Team K
Captain: Yokoyama Yui (from Team A)
Vice Captain: Kitahara Rie

Aigasa Moe (from Team 4)
Abe Maria
Ishida Haruka (from Team B)
Iwasa Misaki (from Team B)
Uchida Mayumi
Kojima Mako (from Team 4)
Kitahara Rie
Kodama Haruka (kennin, from Team A; Team H)
Kobayashi Kana
Goto Moe (draft member)
Shimada Haruka
Shimoguchi Hinana (draft member)
Suzuki Shihori
Suzuki Mariya (kennin from Team A; SNH48)
Tano Yuka (from Team A)
Nagao Mariya
Nonaka Misato (from Team B)
Matsui Jurina (kennin; Team S)
Miyazaki Miho
Yamamoto Sayaka (kennin; Team N)
Yumoto Ami (promotion)
Yokoyama Yui (from Team A)

Now it's time for my favourite team!! And wow 8 (+1 Kennin) stayed. That's at least better than Team A!! They are: AbeMari, Ucchi, Rie, Kana, Haruu, Shihori, Mariya, Jurina and Miho. Jurina is still a kennin? Well, let's see how good her health will be in a a few months. Happy for the others though, especially for Maria, Mariyagi, Miho and Rie (yeay, sub-captain!!).
The Team A shuffles are Haruppi, Mariya, Yuka and Yui. Woohooooo Yui and Yuka. :D Wow, especially Yuka, this is sooo cool!!! And Yui as captain is also pretty good! Aaand we have wMariya in here now.. + Maria, this will be fun! But why Haruppi?
The Team B shuffles are Harukyan, Wasami and Misato. Seriously, there's not that much to comment, it's cool though that Harukyan is finally a Team K member (perhaps they will perform Ai no Iro at some point ;)).
The Team 4 shuffles are Moe and Mako. Yeay for Moe and WTF for Mako.. :'D To me she just belongs to 4 or even A, but K??? Well, I like her, so let's see how that will turn out!! (she does look a bit like Yuko...)
The only NEW kennin is Yamamoto Sayaka. LET THAT SINK IN!! The holy Sayanee.. O.O Wow, I mean.. let's just overpower Team K with all sister group centers, right?? :'D But I looove her, and she will be great in this team.. ;)
The two drafties got added (yeay for wMoe) and there is one promotion: Yumoto Ami! Wow, so cool for her.. especially since she and Moe were chosen by Sayaka and Tomochin it's so great that they are both in this Team now. :D I'm kind of really happy with this team, even though it's sad that Yuka and Tomu still aren't in the same team.. Yeay let's just switch them.. And with the many big names it's pretty clear which members will get overshadowed..

Breakdown: 8 originals + 1 original Kennin, 4 Team A, 3 Team B, 2 Team 4, 1 new Kennin, 2 Drafties, 1 Promotion = 22

I still really like this Team K. Yuka and Jurina in one team.. *-*
Senbatsu members are Jurina, Sayanee, Mako and Yui.. looks good I would say (even though 2 are only kennin..)

Team B
Captain: Kuramochi Asuka (from Team K)
Vice Captain: Oya Shizuka

Ikoma Rina (kennin, Nogizaka46) Izuta Rina (from Team A)
Uchiyama Natsuki (from Team 4)
Umeta Ayano (from Team 4)
Oshima Ryoka (from Team A)
Oya Shizuka
Owada Nana (promotion)
Ogasawara Mayu (transfer from NMB48 Team N)
Kashiwagi Yuki (kennin to Team N)
Kawamoto Saya (draft member)
Kuramochi Asuka (from Team K)
Takajo Aki (kennin cancelled)
Takahashi Juri (from Team A)
Takeuchi Miyu
Tanabe Miku
Tomonaga Mio (kennin; Team KIV)
Natori Wakana
Nozawa Rena (kennin cancelled)
Hashimoto Hikari (from Team 4)
Hirata Rina (from Team K)
Fukuoka Seina (promotion)
Yokoshima Aeri (draft member)
Watanabe Mayu (from Team A)

In Team B there are the 6 original members Shichan, Yukirin, Akicha, Miyu, Iku and Wakana. Wow, this is as bad as Team A.. :'D And Akicha's kaigai finally got cancelled.. (was to be accepted..). Yukirin to Team N?????????????????????????? (will talk about that there..)
The Team A shuffles are Izuta Rina, Ryoka, Juri and Mayu, MAYUYU IS BACK!! Mayuki is together again.. and the whole fandom parties happily.. for a few seconds only because the other surprises are a shock.. lol xD Juri and Ryoka to B? Why not.. xD they are cute.. and Juri has the same creepiness Yukirin has!!!
The Team K shuffles are only Mocchi, Rena and Hirari. Mocchi in B? As CAPTAIN? Wow, congrats girl.. Oh no, Hillary isn't in K anymore.. -.- and Rena's kaigai also got cancelled.. *sigh*
The Team 4 shuffles are Natsuki, Ayano and Hikari. I guess I should learn some names, because I don't know them..
Transfer from NMB: Maachun. :O Whut???? WTF? Machun in B?? Yeay for wMayu but whaaat? Sorry, this is odd. Hope she will still shine as much as in NMB..
Kennin for Mio. Well.. okay. Right, one of the most surprising things is of course this.. Rina in AKB.. This will be interesting for sure, but I don't think anyone wanted something like this. Nogizaka isn't a real sister group but anyways...
Drafties added..
And promotion of Fukuoka Seina and another very unimportant girl we've never seen before.. WTF, it's Owada Nana!!! :O LOL, okay push her even more.. I like her :)

Breakdown: 6 original, 4 Team A, 3 Team K, 3 Team 4, 1 transfer, 2 Kennin, 2 Drafties, 2 Promotions =23

A pretty mixed new Team B I would say.. I kind of like it though!! Yukirin and Mayuyu are the only star emmebrs thoguh..

Team 4
Captain: Minegishi Minami
Vice Captain: Kizaki Yuria (transfer from SKE48 Team S)

Iwatate Saho
Okawa Rio (promotion)
Omori Miyu (from Team B)
Okada Ayaka
Okada Nana
Kato Rena (from Team B)
Kizaki Yuria (transfer from SKE48 Team S)
Kitazawa Saki
Kotani Riho (kennin; Team M)
Kobayashi Marina (from Team A)
Komiyama Haruka(promotion)
Sasaki Yukari (from Team A)
Sato Kiara (promotion)
Shinozaki Ayana
Shibuya Nagisa (kennin; Team BII)
Tsuchiyasu Mizuki (promotion)
Nishino Miki
Maeda Mitsuki
Minegishi Minami
Mukaichi Mion (promotion)
Murayami Yuiri
Mogi Shinobu

Team 4 has still most of its original members: Saho, Ayaka, Naachan, Saki, Ayana, Miki, Mitsuki, Miichan, Yuiri and Mogi. 10 members, wow. Naachan and Miki stay together without Mako.. *sob*
The Team A shuffles are Marina and Yukari, which is okay I guess.. They both fit the image. xD
The Team B shuffles are Miyu and Rena. Miyu fits in either B and 4, so it's okay. And Rena? Well, I don't really care...
More interesting: Yuria gets transferred and is co-captain.. WHAT??? I mean, okay.. Why not.. :'D
Then there are two kennins for Ripopo and Nagisa. Hey, I like them both.. But I think it's kind of unecessary, isn't it??
Then there are 5 (!!) promotions: Rio, Haruka, Kiara, Mizuki and Mion. Bam, bam, BAM. And with that we don't have any kenkyuusei anymore.. Good for them, especially for Mizuki and I kind of like Haruka's smile.. :)

Breakdown: 10 original, 2 Team A, 2 Team B, 1 transfer, 2 kennins, 5 Promotions = 22

Well, I don't know but Im not thaat interested in this team. I still don't know many Team 4 members and my only favourite here is Naachan, though I like some of these cute girls..

Future AKB48 senbatsu:
Team A: Takamina, Nyan, Rina, Annin, Paruru
Team K: Jurina, Sayanee, Mako, Yui
Team B: Mayuyu, Yukirin,
Team 4: Yuria, Miichan

Damn that's already 13 and what's with sister groups except for JuriSaya??

SKE48

Team S
Leader: Miyazawa Sae (kennin; SNH48)
Vice Captain: Sato Mieko (from Team KII)

Azuma Rion (from Team E)
Iwata Karen (transfer from AKB48 Team A)
Oya Masana
Kaneko Shiori (from Team E)
Kitagawa Ryoha (promotion)
Kito Momona (from Team E)
Goto Risako
Sato Mieko (from Team KII)
Takeuchi Mai (from Team KII)
Tanaka Natsumi (kennin, Team H)
Tsuzuki Rika
Deguchi Aki
Nakanishi Yuka
Futamura Haruka (from Team KII)
Matsui Jurina (kennin to Team K)

Miyazawa Sae (kennin; SNH48)
Miyamae Ami (from Team E)
Yakata Miki
Yamauchi Suzuran (transfer from AKB48 Team B)
Watanabe Miyuki (kennin, former Team B; Team BII from Team N)


Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
So here we have 7 original members, which is okay: Ooya, Risako, Rika, Aki, Yuka, Jurina and Miki. Jurinaaa.. Waaaah, she's still in S. I also like her in K, but I wish she would only be in one.. Also, Yuka!
The Team KII shuffles are Mieko, Mai and Haruka. Congrats for Mieko being co-captain.. and for being with other 1st gens!! Yeay for Harutamu because damn, she's awesome!!
The Team E shuffles are Rion, Shiori, Momona and Miyamae Ami. It gets even better.. xD I'm especially happy because of Rion and Ami. So many newbies I like are here.. :D
There are 3 (!) kennins in this team: BOSS - damn, wow, OMG, that's so cool!!!
Miruki - whaaaaaaaaaaa??? :OOO why?? Okay, this just doesn't fit at all, sorry..
and BAM, BAM, BAM: Sae-chan.
-dead-
Eh?? Okay, sorry but this is so shocking. Sae is the captain of Team S, let that sink in! Well, I'm actually pretty happy, as Team S is my favourite Team after Team K (before the SKE shuffle.. and now!!). This means we will see more Sae, yeay. But won't this be hard for her? And what will the SKE fans say? Let's just hope this will be well recieved..
Going on, there are also two tranfers: Karen and Ran Ran.. -dead again-
Wow, this group is full of Ikemens and perverts now.. xD These two are cool, I approve!
Then we have the one draft member and one promotion.. You won't ever guess who it is: our little UHA! Also, not surprising.. I don't know how she will survive being close to Sae.. ;) Damn, Saee.. uwuu
Sae and Jurina in one team again!!! Yatta!!

Breakdown: 7 original, 3 Team KII, 4 Team E, 3 Kennins, 2 Transfers, 1 Draftie, 1 Promotion = 21

I kind of like this team, even though I'm worried yet happy about Sae. I do hope she gets a good placement here, right after Jurina!! Let's hope they won't push Ryouha, Rion &co above her.. And let's not forget about Milky.. This is odd.. xD

Team KII
Leader: Furukawa Airi
Vice Captain: Oba Mina (transfer from AKB48 Team B, former Kennin)

Abiru Riho (from Team S)
Arai Yuki (draft member)
Ishida Anna (from Team S)
Uchiyama Mikoto
Ego Yuna (from Team S)
Oba Mina (transfer from AKB48 Team B, former Kennin)
Kato Tomoko
Kitano Ruka (promotion)
Kinoshita Yukiko (from Team E)
Goudo Saki (draft member)
Soda Sarina (draft member)
Takagi Yumana
Takashima Yurina (transfer from AKB48 Team 4)
Takatsuka Natsuki (draft member)
Takayanagi Akane (kennin to Team BII)
Hidaka Yuzuki (promotion)
Furukawa Airi
Furuhata Nao (from Team E; kennin to Team A, former Team K)
Mizuno Honoka (from Team E)
Yamashita Yukari
Yamada Nana (kennin, Team M)
Yamada Mizuho

The 7 members Mikoto, Tomoko, Yumana, Churi, Airin, Yukari and Mizuho all stayed in this team. That's also okay. At least Furuyanagi is still together and Airin is captain. But I guess Churi will help her a bit.. if she isn't involved in NMB too much.. WTF?)
The Team S shuffles are Riho, Anna and Yuna. Sorry, but for me this seems as if Anna's startime will be over soon.. And sadly Riho got seperated from Jurina.. :'( poor girl..
The Team E shuffles are Yukiko, Nao and Honoka. Yukko is in da house!! Yossh!!
The new Kennin is Nana.. WTH? Nana? Okay, why not..
Then there are two transfers: Oba Mina and Tashima Yurina. I don't really know Yurina, but good for Oba, as she seemed to be getting along with them well.. :)
Drafties got added and we have two promotions: Ruka and Yuzuki! Don't know them, sorry..

Breakdown: 7 originals, 3 Team S, 3 Team E, 1 Kennin, 2 Transfers, 4 Drafties, 2 Promotions = 22

This is also a whole new Team KII, but to me it seems as if it lacks a bit of star power now. At least Furuyanagi are still in and Nana is also great!

Team E
Leader: Suda Akari (from Team KII)
Vice Leader: Umemoto Madoka

Iguchi Shiori
Isohara Kyoka (from Team S)
Ichino Narumi
Iwanaga Tsugumi
Umemoto Madoka
Owaki Arisa (promotion)
Kato Rumi (from Team KII)
Kimoto Kanon
Kumazaki Haruka (promotion)
Koishi Kumiko (draft member)
Kobayashi Ami (from Team KII)
Saito Makiko (from Team S)
Sakai Mei
Sato Sumire (transfer from AKB48 Team A)
Shibata Aya (from Team KII)
Suda Akari (from Team KII)
Takatera Sana (draft member)
Tani Marika (transfer from HKT48, Team KIV)
Fukushi Nao (draft member)
Matsui Rena (kennin to Nogizaka46)
Yamada Reika

There are still 8 members from the original E, which is okay, at least half of it is still there: Shiori, Narumi, Tsugumi, Ume-chan, Kanon, Mei, Rena and Reika. Although, what's with Rena getting a kennin in Nogi???? o.O I thought she already was busy enough.. Well at least NonMei is still together.. ;)
The Team S shuffles are Kyoka and Makiko, two cool members!
The Team KII shuffles are Rumi, Ami, Aya and Akarin. Damn, that Suda captain.. I LOLed soo hard!! xD But really? Rena, Akarin, Kanon and Aya in one team??? That screams starpower!!
There are two transfers: Suuchan and Tani. Like them both, but don't really understand this.. Especially Tani.. well, oookay..
Drafties got added and two promoted memebers: Arisa and Haruka. But I don't know them.. -.-

Breakdown: 8 original, 2 Team S, 4 Team KII, 2 Transfers, 3 Drafties, 2 Promotions = 21

Team E has a few VERY popular members I would say..

Future SKE senbatsu:
Team S: Jurina, Sae, Miruki, Oba, Ryouha, Rion
Team KII: Churi, Airi, Nao, Nana, Mina, Anna (?), Mizuho
Team E: Rena, Akarin, Aya, Kanon

They would be 16 wothout Anna, but perhaps they don't even keep all of the youngsters or the kennins.. We will see...

NMB48

Team N
Leader: Yamamoto Sayaka (kennin to Team K)
Vice Leader: Jonishi Kei

Ota Yuri (from Team BII)
Kashiwagi Yuki (kennin, Team B)
Kato Yuka (from Team BII)
Kikuchi Ayaka (transfer from AKB48 Team A)

Nishimura Aika
Murashige Anna (kennin; Team KIV)
Muro Kanako (from Team BII)
Yamauchi Tsubasa (from Team BII)
Yamagishi Natsumi (from Team M)
Yamaguchi Yuki
Yamamoto Sayaka (kennin to Team K)
Yogi Keira (from Team M)
Yoshida Akari

8 people stayed from the original team: Rika, Narumi, Ripopo, Keichi, Aika, Yuki, Sayanee and Akari. Sayanee is still the captain and I'm happy that Keichi is co-cap!! :D
Team M shuffles are only Natsumi and Keira. Yeay, Keira!! :D
Team BII shuffles are Yuri, Uuka, Saki, Kanako and Tsubasa. Okay, that isn't bad, at least there are a few more unknown people in N now.. xD (excluding Uuka)
There are two kennins, Yukirin and Aanya. While Aanya's is pretty cool and funny I don't really understand Yukirin's.. I mean, she is super popular and I don't think NMB needs her.. Well, but I like both so it's okay..
The real shock is Ayaka's transfer. Didn't see that one coming, but there have been some interesting transfers until now..
Draftie got added!

Breakdown: 8 Team N, 2 Team N, 5 Team BII, 2 Kennins, 1 transfer, 1 Draftie = 19 

This is interesting as Team N always was the most popular in NMB. Now they probably still are, but they also gained a few unpopular girls.. which is good for the other teams though.. But what's with the stage though?? This is so silly... -.-

Team M
Captain: Yamada Nana (kennin to Team Team KII)
Vice Captain: Okita Ayaka

Akazawa Hono (from Team BII)
Azuma Yuki

Fujie Reina (transfer from AKB48 Team B)
Mita Mao
Murakami Ayaka 
Murase Sae
Yagura Fuuko (kennin to Team A)
Yamada Nana (kennin to Team Team KII)

11 people could stay: Yuki, Ayaka, Kawakami Rena, Momoka, ShimaRena, Airin, Mao, Ayaka, Saeppi, Fuuchan and Nana. Yes, they are mostly the most popular ones.. Sad that Rena isn't captain anymore, but good for nana and Ayaka!
The Team N shuffles are only Ricchan and Miru. Miruuu.. Okay.. I don't know what to say.. xD
The Team BII shuffles are Hono, Akari and Rina. I don't really know them, sorry.. :'D
The only transfer is Reinyan. WTH?? Okay, I don't understand this but anyway..
Draftie gets added and Jo gets promoted.. *yawn* what, Jo?? That one was fast. ô.O

Breakdown: 11 original, 2 Team N, 3 Team BII, 1 transfer, 1 Draftie, 1 Promotion = 19

Here doesn't happen that much. Good for the members.. Oh, and I don't really know that many of them, sorry.. :'D

Team BII
Captain: Kamieda Emika
Vice Captain: Umeda Ayaka (transfer from AKB48 Team B)

Naiki Kokoro (draft member)
Hayashi Momoka (from Team N)
Yabushita Shu
Watanabe Miyuki (from Team N; kennin to Team S, former Team B)

There are 7 original members: Anna, Mirei, Emika, Konomi, Hazuki, Rikako and Shuu. Yeay, Emichii and Shuuu.. :D
The Team N shuffles are Kanako, Haruna, Momoka and Mirukii.. Lalalalala.. boring.. WAIT, Miruki?? Well, even that isn't really surprising.. xD
The Team M shuffles are Chihiro and Yui. Yuiiii..
The new Kennin is Churi.. Then fly little bird and rock with these girls.. xD
There are two transfers: Ume-chan and Miorin. Miorin is so understandable, as she had her kennin.. in N though.. But Ume-chan? Okay, interesting to see this.. xD At least she will probably be in senbatsu..
Drafties got added and Nagisa promoted.. Yossha!!

Breakdown: 7 original, 4 Team N, 2 Team M, 1 Kennin, 2 Transfers, 1 Draftie, 1 promotion = 18

Future NMB48 senbatsu:
Team N: Sayanee, Yukirin, Akari, Kei,
Team M: Nana, Fuuchan, Miru, Airi (?)
Team BII: Miruki, Shuu, Yui, Nagisa, Miori, Churi (?), Ume-chan (?)

Nothing new here, except for Boss' kennin to Team S and the promotion of Nako and Miku (no surprise, really)..

Team KIV
Captain: Ota Aika
Vice Captain: Miyawaki Sakura (kennin to Team A)

Kimoto Kanon (kennin; Team E)

Ota Aika
Okada Kanna
Kusaba Manami (promotion)
Kumazawa Serina

Tanaka Yuka
Tomiyoshi Asuka
Tomonaga Mio
Fukagawa Maiko
Fuchigami Mai
Miyawaki Sakura (kennin to Team A)
Murashige Anna
Motomura Aoi
Moriyasu Madoka

Also not so many new things except for Sakura's new kennin and the promotion of Kusaba Manami. Oh, and Non's kennin. That's quite funny... xD

So honestly, there weren't so many new things for HKT here, except for a few kennins etc..
They just had their shuffle, so I guess they didn't want to destroy that again..
I'm also not so well-known with them, so that's it.. :'D

Team Kaigai

Chikano Rina to JKT48

This is quite a surprise. Well, I hope it will be good for her and I wish her good luck!! :D


_________________________________________________________________________________

That's it.. Puuuuuuh, this actually took me pretty long.
I'm don't really like that Jurina still has a kennin. I mean, she already is overworked and gets enough hate. It's not her fault and she's still my oshi, but I just wished her to be in only ONE team. Team K has enough power.. Team S has enough power.. Choose one please management!!
And I'm still shocked at Sae's new position.. o.O But happy.. :)
After this shuffle I'm still a Team K oshi.. xD Some of my favourite members like Ami, Tomu and Mocchi were shuffled away, but instead there are girls like Yuka, Moe and Sayanee so I'm still happy. And hey, my foreshadowing with Yuka and Moe was right. I'm so good, man.. ;) Plus, I'm soooo happy for the YokoYamamoto.. *-* *-* *-* (Even more than for Mayuki to be honest..)
I also look forward to see that AWESOME Team S!!! *-*

But all in all there are some very unnecessary and shocking things... I don't get some transfers and the many kennins. I'm not quite sure if they will really use all of them in senbatsu. Like, will Churi really be in NMB senbatsu? This will steal sooo many senbatsu places from other girls. But with every team being bigger that 16nin now, I could imagine the senbatsu growing, too. This would be a good solution and I don't think it would make such a big difference to use 20 ore 22 places instead of 16, right??
What also surprised me was the lack of graduations/ graduation announcements. I really thought someone would do it but I guess I was wrong.. Let's see if there will be any in the near future. ;)

You could kind of see me getting more tired near the end of this post. Especially with NMB and HKT. Well, HKT wasn't too exciting but NMB is so NEW now..
Now I will sort my feelings and go to sleep..

Bye, bye, bye ;)

Fortune Cookies of Love

AKB48 has done it again. Yes, they continued their million streak with their newest single ''Koisuru Fortune Cookie''. And not only that, this single is one of their highest first day and first week sales (only overtroned by the election singles and Flying Get!). And seriously this single is REALLY popular. They didn't only top the oricon charts, they are still topping the recochoku download charts (4 weeks, OMG!!)!! This means it's really their SONG that is famous, not only the girls and extras that come with the CD packages! And it also means it's mainstream popular and not only bought bei Wotas. There has been quite a hype about the dance and there have been many dance covers, the most notables being the AKB48 staff version and the International fan version. Both are really cool and probably helped to promote the single even more.

But let's get back to the song. ''Koisuru Fortune Cookie'' has an old disco feeling and that's why you can dance to it so good. The melody is a bit bland though. After their first live I was extremely shocked. Where was our awesome Sasshi song??? But then the chorus got extremely catchy after a while and I couldn't stop listening to it! It's still not their best song, but it's definetely their best since UZA!!
I also don't have anything against Sasshi or her voice. Her quirky voice actually really fits the tune of the song and makes it a lot more funnier!
One of the greatest things is obviously the video with the dance and the many persons and colours.
So I will now take a closer look at that.

The video begins with a black DJ.

He introduces AKB48 in English.. In English!!!!

Oh yeah, he's surely enjoying his job. ;)
And there appears a hat!!

Oh, it's Sasshi.
Sasshi: Heyooooo fellows!!
The crowd in the background is quite impressive and there are many different people.

How can you hate this girl??
She's so happy about her center position!!
The others look quite happy, too..

Sasshi: Hug me, fans!!
Akarin is already rocking the song and Yuko looks quite happy, too ;)
Jurina and Sae are so cute *-*

Yeay for the Koisuru Fortune cookie writing. I think it looks really interesting.
Also, the dance starts and Sasshi does her adorable pout (I think it's cute..)

Mayuyu angle..
I really like these costumes. They look a bit like circus..

Yuko angle..
Are these gay pride flags in the background??? :o That's freaking cool!!

Yuko is already derping around xD
Mayu has her typical smile and Sasshi looks wonderful!

Even more screen time for Ichi-sama!

Yuko is so funny.. She totally rocks the video and will probably continue to do so!

And Mayu is still our cyborg..

Sasshi: I hope everyone enjoys the dance??!!!
Yukirin: Ehehehe,that's so embarrasing!

Rena: OMG. I am 7th!!
Takamina: And I'm only 8th, eeeeh??
Tomochin: Well at least you are in the top ten..
Akarin: OOH MYYY GAAAWD,  SENBATSUU!!

Sasshi: Yo haters, you still don't like me??

Sasshi: Well, I don't care, DUH!! <3

Yuko: Eh, don't pay attention to her..

Yuko: I want YOU to be my fan!!

Mayu: I'm so angry.. Like seriously.. >.<
Jurina: Calm down pls...

Mayu: Okay.. :D

Mariko-sama in all her majestatic awesomeness.

Sasshi: Isn't this great??

Squirrel attack!!

Akarin is the happiest girl in the world I guess.. Fishing girl ;)
Oh, and they seem really open to the LGBT community in this video -> pinky :)
That's so nice to see actually

Wait, don't run away....

Yeay, for all the sporty AKB48 girl fans ;)

Lol at Paruru's face xD
But she doesn't look bored, isn't that great??

The DJ is happy..
But isn't it odd that he has more Screen time than some of the girls *cough* Akarin *cough*

Everyone move to the right...

Going forward is so Mainstream.. Mariko goes backwards xD

Mayuyu: Aaahahaha... this is so funny!!
Yukirin: My daughter likes it, so I'm happy, too.. Even though I only placed 4th..
Takamina: How.. How can you be so freaking happy Mayu??
Jurina: *thinks* Who should I kiss next??

Slap in your face, management!!!

Sae: Look at all my moves..

Mariko: When will it end???

Mariko: Huh, what? I can't hear you!

Dance for the last time..

Centre-sama!!

Sae-chan!!

Fuuuuuu~

Yeayy... jump!!

And that's the end..

Wow, a making of is included in the video.

This looks so much fun!!

FIN!!

Wow, this was really cool. The video is full of colours and so many different people who are all united by AKB48 and their funny dance.. Yes, the dance is cool. It's pretty easy (very, VERY easy) but it's so funny and it seriously brings you in a good mood. The whole video makes me really happy. Most of the girls have so much fun (especially Akarin) and Sasshi is awesome as a Center!! She may not be as cool as Yuko, but I think she brings something very quirly in the video and it makes me really happy and proud that she can be so carefree. 
I think the DJ is a bit unnessecary. I guess they want to show the disco feel even more through an English speaking person., ut he just took away the spotlight from some girls who are more in the back.
The dresses are cute and very colurful. Well, as I said before, the whole video is like that, even using gay pride flags.. Honestly, I don't know if these flags really stand for that here, but they included some transexuals, so I'm sure they are at least very open towards them. Everyone has fun in the video, even people with different sexual orientations and different lives.
This message is really awesome and I respect AKB (or rather their management) for doing that and showing it to the world.

All in all, the video is awesome! I really like it and will watch it many times again!!
I think it totally fits the song and together it's even better.
Yeay, best A-side since UZA.. ;)

After Senbatsu comes of course the Under Girls. This years UG are full of sister group members and many Girls of the ''new generation''. Of course, there are also some older and more experienced Girls but this line-up screams for an Idol song.
And that's exactly what they get: a typical upbeat Idol song!
But ''Ai no Imi wo kangaete mita'' isn't actually bland. It has many highlights and the songs is so much fun. I even think it reminds me of some older AKB48 songs which is awesome because they are kinda changing their style nowadays (too bland..). I must say it isn't as interesting as Fortune Cookie but it's very nice to listen to.
Let's now take a look at the video:

At the beginning we see a single person running into a concert hall.

Here we see the clothes of the girls (who will probably perform soon)

Run forest, run!!!

UG with Aya in front!!! Yesss!!

He finally entered the main concert hall..

But the members seem pretty worried..

Ume-chan!!!

And Akicha.. Good to see her again :) (she was a bit invisible in SayoKuro)

Umechan hugging Miichan.. Why are they so sad?
Are they nervous?

Everyone Looks depressed..

Aya observes the Scene..

But then she sees everything blurred...

Don't faint Aya-chan!!!

Emo Annin stands alone...

Lovely Aya-chan with her big eyes (they seem even more big here, because she looks so shocked).

Rina: This is so boring..

Aya motivates them again.

And everyone begins to smile.

They are a great team.

Rina: Annin?

Anna: Rina...

Best friends made up.

Sakurapon: This is so touching!!

Let the show begin..

Reinyan: Guiiise, I made it :D
Rina: And even the baka made it.. Tihihiii
Kaotan: Is that a camera?

Umechan: Hehehehe.. I will all kill you for not bringing me into senbatsu again!!
Aya: What? Don't be so mean! You have more Screen time now!!
Miichan: But we don't have the main single... I can understand you Umechan..

I present you the new Under Girls!!

And the new center: Shinata Aya! (who looks great with glasses!!)

So there's some kind of flashback of the auditions of the girls..
And Non Non somehow fails at doing the dance steps..

Akicha!!!! And Miichan, yeayy..

The judges..

Reinyan: Am I good enough??
Rina: Dare you if you don't choose me!!!

Kitarie and a funny looking Aya-chan!

Yuria looks seriously good with the twintails.. But still, I don't really like her

Churi is really enjoying the performance

Seriously, this is so typical Idolly but it looks super fun!

And Aya has the most fun I guess!

Yeay, finally some Airin!!!

Wow, Aya looks really good with glasses!!!

The winners of the audition.. And they are of course the Under girls, ordered from left to right..

Kaotan!

Aya takes the job as the Team leader!!

Oh, Aki hurt her leg..

Yeah, work it girls!!!

Smiley Rina..

Sad Rina..
Well, it's exhausting being an Idol, right?

Sakura!!!

A fighting scene!!! (Oogoe Diamond anyone??)

Rina: Annin! I am not that bad!!

Annin: Ts, you definetely are.. Try harder please!!

Airi: I love my shoes!!!
Isn't it sad that she gets more screen time in AKB48 than in SKE48??

OMG, the NonSakura combo is freaking hilarious!!! And makes me like Non more..

Churi enjoys every scene from the video!

Even Reina gets so much screentime in this video, it's really great

Sad Reina.. There are so many hardships for the member..

Rina dances alone to get better..

But Annin watches her and feels sorry.
This screenshot is awesome..

Numer 1 helps the last place, isn't that a great symbolism?

Someone gave Rina a bottle of water..
Was it Annin?? xP

Sakura is soo cute..

The members are getting ready for their performance.

And that's the end..

Oh, not really..
Miichan holds a speech!

And she shows her short hair..
Why can't they already forget her scandal??

Outtakes!!! Yeaaaaah..

Lol, Annin messes up her fighting part..

As I said, I really like this combi..

Even more outtakes of underrated SKE members..

Lol, everyone forgot the same part..

And this makes Non soooo sympatic.. Wow, she's funny.. xD

THE END!!

Okay, this video was pretty cool. It shows what the girls have to do to be in a group and how hard they have to work for it. It goes from their audition to their practice and the most important step, their performance!!
We can see that it isn't easy to dance everyday and to prepare for concerts. We can also see how the members support each other like Aya and Reina. Sometimes they will surely fight like Annin and Rina. Oh, I really liked her story.. Annin always seems so cold and it was nice to see her put emotions in her actings towards Rina. And it was nice, that they made up shortly before the performance!
The video really reminds me of older videos like Oogoe Diamondoo!! Not only the fighting scene but also the hard work and having fun in between. It shows the real life of the group and what is important in it. Since there are many younger girls and especially girls from sister groups it shows that they still have to work even harder because they are part of the new generation.

All in all I really like this video. The storyline is old, but it's cool to see it being used in a long time.. Also, the screen time is pretty even. Well, the first 3 girls and certain pushed girls like Annin, Rina and Reinyan get a bit more than the rest but there have been worse videos (*cough* How come? *cough*).
The video really fits the Idolly song and together it is cool to see. I hope to see more of this in the future! xD

Next we have the Next Girls with their song ''Kondo Koso Extasy''. After hearing the title I already knew this would be a rather sexy song. And how couldn't it be with so many sexy and mature girls in the line up?
Many members here also have really great voices, especially Haachan who we can hear almost all the time (her voice is awesome!!) and it brings the song to another level in terms of vocals. That's a bit mean for Amina because her voice is rather quirky and she can't shine very much. But on the other side she is featured the most in the video, so I guess it's okay.
The song has an old disco feeling so it's also very dancable. Yeah, I really like these kind of sexy dance songs. XD
Let's now look what the video has to offer:

The announcement of the song..

Random Guy: She's not my girlfriend. Believe me!!

Amina: I don't berieb u!!!

Smack!! What an interesting opening.. xD Amina being all bad girl. And her clothes are so punky, its really cool!

Oookay, so the guy starts dancning after the slap?? lol..

Amina: Ts... what a loser!

Amina walks off and we see a furious Haachan.

Haachan: Arrrgh.. What did you say???

Amina waits for her or what? xD

Haachan: What a bastard!!

*crack*

*throws phone away*

Amina: *smirk* Let's go!

And the two walk away like some divas..

Oh, they are going into a club.. Nice xD

These two are so awesome!! Haachan being all sexy and Amina looking like a rebellious kid.. xD

Haachan: Sexy desu nee..
Amina: Ne, neeee.. 

And into the club..

Here we see Yuka and Mariyagi with a random old dude

Sexy Yagi!

Mariya: You're gonna love this video..
I already do..

Aah, stop! This is so illegal!!

What do they want??

And the old dude is a pervert!!

Yeah, thanks.. Show him where he belongs, Yagi!!

And Yuka, too..

And here we have the two showgirls Mochi and Haruppi! Haruka pulls it of better than one would have thought xD

MatruRina, Keichi and Umechan together..

Yuri?
Well, Rina feels really sexy at least xD

Kei: What? Yuri? No wayyy... ;)
Madoka: So booring here..

Umechan: Come here...
What are you doing?

Damn, they blend away from the most interesting things..
Well MochiHaru is also pretty cool. Mochi looks sexy and Haruppi has this I-know-I'm-great face xD

Keichi: Guess what we did..
Ume-chan: Tihihi..
Yuri fanservice.. xD

Top 2 again.. Yeay xD

Amina derp.. How yan you not like her??

Rina is eating a cherry..

Girls: Go away!! We wana do some things that not everyone should see.

Madoka: You know what we mean ;)
Yeah, just look where Keichi's hand is xP

Tomu: You want my ice-cream? You won't get it!! xD

Tomu: Yummy..
She's totally rocking her screen time!

Harukyan, Ami and Minarun

I really love their casual funky clothes xD

*splash*

Love-tan, Makiko and Fuuko

The photo shooting looks pretty cool and it kinda reminds me of Nante Bohemian xD

They are awesome!

Madoka looks really cool here! And Love-tan looks funny xD

Mochi: Don't mess up with us!!
Haruppi: Oh right!!

Lol, this is too awesome for words!

Oh yeah, let's get some drinks!

Noo.. He let the drink fall down!! >.<

The girls aren't amused by that..

Back to the Yuri girls.. xD

Umechan: Yuri???

Keichi: We don't know what that is ;)

Matsurina: Mmmmmmh..
Lol, she just lays there and does nothing xD

Mochi: Waaah! Don't come in!!!

Haruppi: Iyaaaaa!!!
Mochi *shocked* I can't believe you came in!!

Haruka: Go away!!!
Mochi: Yeah, you bastard!

The photos from the photo shooting

Here look at this!

Boring...

Fuuko: *pout* I want better photos!!
Makiko: Damn! Do away, we don't want your photos!!

I love how they all turn around one after another

Raise your glasses girls!!

Okay. What club is that??

A club with beautiful girls..

I guess I never talked about my Yuka obsession, but she's aaaawesome!!! xD

Haachan saiko!!

Centers are cool!!

Yuka *-*
But Mariyagi is also great!

Drinks for Haachan and Amina

How does it taste??

Haachan: Yikes! Not good!!

Amina: That's enough!!!

Waah, that's pretty mean.. ouch

Poor guy..

Haachan and Amina: Well, that's what you get when you mess with us!!

I really like how they get paired up now and all get one verse xD
You can actually hear their voices!!

I don't get why Yuka was paired up with Mariya before xD After the ranks it should be like this.. But she is better with Yagi I think ;)

Our new couple? LOL xD

Taking the stairs like a boss..

Yeay, we actually see Rina singing xD

Random legs.. Ooookay.. (fanservice, I know. But because it's Yuka I'll let it slide)

Tomu centering Fuuko and Love-tan

Harukyan centering Minarun and Ami. Lol at the height difference xP

Now rock the dancefloor!!!

You got me 

Amina center.. so amaziing!! xD

X -> extasy xP

Sekushii Mariya next to overly happy Haruppi..

They have all different clothes, so this looks kinda funny xD

And Amina trying to be sexy is also funny

Yuka though... xD

The dance looks cool xD

And the dance floor is also cool.

Yuka on the left.. And sexy Mochi

Amina is still a rebellious kid xP

Amina: Problem???

Mariyagi!!

Yukaa

A W formation?? xD

Yeah, Love-tan solo shot!!

Sexy Makiko
Haruka: I don't wanna be here!!

Yeay, the end of the song..

Oh, the story goes on??

He gets slapped again.. Poor guy

He's bleeding?? Okay xD
And someone gives him a  towel?

It's Amina!

Amina: I'm sorry!!

But then she walks away.. diva-like xD

Okay.. So the end really confuses me. Why is she returning to him? I thought he cheated??
Hm.. Well the video is as sexy as the song and really fits to it (really!!). During the whole video we see some guys behave pretty bad and than getting slapped or ignored by the girls. Which is cool on one side, because it shows that the girls aren't as weak as one would thought (and what still seems real in Japanese media). But it just seems a bit overdone and unreal. It isn't like every man is a pervert, right? The girls all look really good and most of them manage to pull the sexy look! Even Yuka as the youngest  looks really good here. Fuuko and Haruppi, the other 16 year olds also fit in, but not as good as the others I would say. Especially Haruppi looks really young, but it kinda works.
The club theme is pretty cool and different from the typical videos.

All in all I really like the song and video and already watched it sooo many times!! There are many awesome older members in the song and it sounds so mature!! You know, I really like mature, dark and / or sexy songs. xD

Now it's time for tthe last: the Future Girls!!
Remember last years ''Show Fight''?? Well, this time the song is the total opposite!! There are many, many young and cute girls in this years line-up, lead bei Yabushita Shu so they are actually made for the song ''Sutei Marmalade'' which is the cutest song of the whole single!!
And it's so cute that they aven sing 'Amai, Amai' which means sweet and I marmalade is usually sweet so this really fits. ;) I have to admit, it's not the most original song but it's quite catchy and CUTE. Not may favourite song of this single but it's decent and really good for all these under 16 year old in the line-up xD (Mio, Meru and Shu, I'm looking at you!!!)
Now about the video:

Yeay, there are plants!!! So we get a video that is shot outside??

Okay, will the editing stay like this? The video is so small..

Shuuuuu!! Her smile is really cute and officially belongs to the best smiles in 48group (together with Yuko, Milky, Akarin et..).

Akarin.. She's also pretty cute, but she has a mature look, too.

Cute..

Aamin.. Sad that she dropped into Future Girls. Well, she's still as beautiful as ever..

The dork Maachun.. *-*

Ayaka! One of the older girls, but she seems to enjoy the cutesy thing, too xD

Kyookaa!!! and an annoying Lemon

Hey why is Akari featured more than Shuu until now?? 3:

Suumelody

And the HKT48 KKS pairing: Mio and Meru

Mio is so bad at lipsynch :'D
But Meru grows on me a bit nowadays..

Akari again.. Well, she's beautiful isn't she??

More screentime for Meru.. Oh come on Aki-pi, you can feature her in HKT48 singles as much as you want but this is the election single so give the others some screen time too!!

This looks quite cool
And even Miori looks funny (but she can't beat Kyoka!!)

Lemon: Oooooh, the wind is so strong!!!
Kyoka: Whut??

Ran Ran!!! And our only graduated member, Hirajima Natsumi!!

So Yuka and Shiori are in charge for the rain.. xD

Okay, lemon actually looks adorable here (I never said that..)

Matsui Sakiko! She deserves so much more!! (just graduate and  have a succesfull piano carreer!!)

Ran Ran is so adorable!!

Okay, stay a bit longer so that we can see more of you in videos :)

And finally some Shuu again!! Why can't you feature this cutie more??

And Akarin again..

Suuchan.. Her smile looks forced..

I really like her!!! But this is not fair..

Lol, Yuka is so great xD Rocking the last place

Shiori

Natsumii

And FINALLY some Wasamin. From NG center to forgettable place in FG, it's really sad..

Aamin in the bathtube.. with books xD

Shuuuu!! That's all I see xD

It's still summer for Sumire?
Okay, this is somehow unnecessary but ANYWAYS...

.. Ran Ran is funny, isn't she??

Aw, so beautiful

And this is great.. Imouto with her Nee-san

Wasamin and Meru

Lol, Maachun is so funny..

Akari: Muahahaha.. I have all the screen time!
Shu: But I'm center!! BTW, why are there so many soap bubbles??

Ayaka: Hehehehe.. I will take over the top!!
Akari: Kyaa.. NO!

And more great Wasamin

Maachun: What should I do so that more people will like my comedian side??

Kyoka: How about adding a few colours to the accesoires??

Sakiko: Or turning the video upside down??

Just smile as awesome as Shu!!!

Akari: Oh no 

How come Aamin always has a scene where she looks to the side?? xD

The solo shots are really beautiful!!

Aamin for the win!

And more Ran Ran!!

Happy Maachun

These scenes are really cool!!

Ayaka is not amused

Funny how they change her surroundings and accesoires..

Aamin is really beautiful!!

Okay lemon-san, now stop being cute okay? xD

Shu: Let me show you my world!!

Shu is finally centering!!!

This is so simple, yet really cute

And everyone is happy!

Shu: How was ist??
Great!

Shu: Then say goodbye to the cam!!
Bye, bye ;)

Such a cute video!!! See, the members fitted the cute image very good, especially Shuuuuu!!
The locations of the shots were really beautiful, especially the ones outside and I really loved the 'still' scenes. The dance was pretty simple but it fitted the cute song. xD
One thing that irks me is the amount of solo shots every member had. If I didn't know who was center, I would have guessed it was Akari until the dance scene! Okay, Shu begins the song, but she isn't featured that much. I think even Meru has as much screen time as she had!!!! Which is okay, because Aki-p does that all the time, BUT this is an election single.. He promotes MioMeru all the time, so why can't he promote Shuu for once?? Well, at least her NMB ranking is higher now (Kamonegikkusu!). Sumire, Aamin and Maachun all had a good amount of solo shots, but Iwasa just disappeared somewhere between Meru and Mio.. Arrrgh.. The other videos were all more equal in terms of screen time, but this is just bad.
Well, I won't get angry about it, because it's only a video and I hope the girls will get their time to shine even more soon!!
All in all, great song and PV.

So, now at the end I have to say that this single is pretty good. The songs are very different and so are the PV's. I have to say my favourites song-wise, PV-wise and member-wise have to be ''Koisuru Fortune Cookie'' and ''Kondo Koso Extasy''. KFC is just a very fun song, the video is really relaxing and it has many of my favourite members in it (Jurina, Sae, Yuko, Sayanee etc..). Kondo Koso Extasy has the best voices and is in my opinion the most challenging song of all. So yeah, I'm really happy I bought Type A :D

For the next single there will be a line-up change I think. Mariko and Tomochin are out of senbatsu and Sae and Akarin will probably also be. There have been rumors, that it's going to be a 18nin senbatsu, so there are 6 open spots. Ricchan will definetely be in (because come on, she's just everywhere). Than there's also a chance of Annin. Perhaps Tomu. (I hope they gave up on the push of Kato Rena, because she didn't rank again) Because of the lack of HKT48 members, I think there will also be one of them added. I actually hope it's Sakura again, because it's the dance song again and she is in UG this year, but Haruppi would be fine, too. That's my guess xD
But perhaps I'm wrong and they will actually include the ones who are good at dancing?? Perhaps someone like Ume-chan or even Miichan?? Perhaps some talented new gens like Tano-chan or Mariyagi??
We will know soon I guess. And then there's still the UG of the next single that will definetely include some of the girls listed here. ;)

I also expect many middle members to graduate soon. Nakamata Shiori already announced hers and I think she's the first of many to do so..
Well, we will see.

For now, I will go and eat a Fortune Cookie.. Until next time ;)
