My 1st post in this blog will cover my feeling and thoughts about the graduation announcement from the queen and absolute ace of my beloved idol group now....
Yeah Maeda Atsuko known as Acchan has announced her graduation in the 3rd day of AKB48 Concert Gyoumu Renraku, Tanomu zo! Katayama Buchou at Saitama Super Arena (no no this is not Animelo Summer Concert).
Yeah after performing third encore song Dareka no Tame ni, Acchan asked for time to announce something...
When the audiences see her with teary eyes.. Yeah, they all know what is coming...
Acchan, the first generation of AKB48 and one of the founding member that help builds AKB48 to what they are now, finally announcing her graduation...
After yesterday shocking announcement about Jurina and Milky entering Team K and B respectively, I know there will be a huge announcement that will determine the future of AKB.. But this announcement is just too something (
To be honest, I never been a fan of Acchan in AKB. I never like the fact that she is the absolute center of AKB (putting the janken and sousenkyou aside of course). I really thinks that Yuko deserves the center position. I do like Acchan as an actress though like her role in Q10, Moshidora, and Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata.

But her graduation? It's really surprise me.. If it's about graduation, I am expecting Mariko or Yuko to grad soon. But Acchan?
AKB has only become top idol in Japan for around 2 years.. Maybe she feels that she has achieved all she can in AKB.. They finally will perform at Tokyo Dome.. The dream that all 1st gen member hold in their heart will be realized.. It's time to aim for a greater height of their career.. And maybe the graduation decision is the best way for her to reach that....
Graduation in 48family is always a heartbreaking moment... I still remember clearly when Nacchan was forced to graduate because of her scandal.. She is one of the remaining 1st gen too. And now there are 2 member of 1st gen graduating in a year... This is too sad...
I was not experiencing the forced graduation of my oshimen in around August 2008 (I'm not a fan of 48 when the scandal occured). But the graduation of Nacchan really hit me...
As a fan of 48 family that adopt the graduation system, graduation is something that must be faced by the members, all of the staff, and of course the fans....
This is maybe the turnover event that will determine the future of AKB48.. What will AKB48 become without their queen?
Yuko will most likely fill up the position of AKB center now. I've got no worries about this. She has all it takes to be the center of AKB. She will just doing fine like she did in Heavy Rotation (arguably the most popular AKB song now). But without Acchan, I think Yuko will grad too soon. Acchan is her eternal rival and if Acchan is not there, she will overwhelming the group... AKB will becomes too big for her without her rival and she will choose the graduation way too.

Akhh stop with the speculation... I can't imagine having both Acchan and Yuko announcing their graduation in the same year.. I really want Yuko to become the center of AKB for at least 1-2 years before she is graduating...
I hope Aki-p will not push other member to replace Acchan as a center... Yuko really really deserves that position.
Really hope Acchan will still in the entertainment industry after graduating from AKB. I want to see her again in dorama or movie. I really enjoyed her acting and of course her debut single is very good too.
Thank you Acchan for all the enjoyment that you bring to us for the six and the half year :).
