In Closing, and Moving On

Hi, you've stumbled upon a dead AKB48 fanblog! It's a blog that's already been that way for over 5 years at the time of this writing, and one where this post is being made on its 10th anniversary in order to give it some final closure and resources.

You're probably here because you're a fan of one of the former members, following their solo careers, and want to know more about their early history. Or you might be here because you're interested in the history of AKB48, or the AKB48 fandom. Can't say there's anything of value to be found here, but thanks for reading anyway. Or you could've just clicked on this link because you saw the tweet pop up in your twitter feed...in which case, welcome Ruffian?

You know, I hate it when you need to scroll through a blogger's life story to get to that pasta recipe, so I'll cut to the chase and serve you the former Ori-Minegishi Team 4 members twitter and fanclub links upfront (or in the case of a Moe and Ayaka, the groups that they're now a part of). Most of them have instagram, etc. as well but you can usually find those on their twitter profiles. Here you go! (anyone missing from here is no longer active in the entertainment industry as far as I know) Aigasa Moe: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/moeaigasa0406 - Group (METAMOL): https://metamol.jp/metamol_profile/metamol_moe/ Iwatate Saho: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/yahho_sahho - Fanclub: https://iwatatesaho-fc.jp/ Okada Ayaka: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/ayaka_o1106 - Group (SAISON): https://www.shochikugeino.co.jp/talents/okadaayaka/ Okada Nana: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/okadanana_1107 - Fanclub: https://okadanana-fc.jp/p/ Kitazawa Saki: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sakii_Kitazawa - Fanclub: https://saki-kitazawa.com/ Kojima Mako: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/mak0_k0jima - Fanclub: https://fc.sunmusic-group.com/kojimamako Nishino Miki: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikinishino4 - Fanclub: https://www.fansnet.jp/en/nishinomiki_official Shinozaki Ayana: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/ayana18_48 - Fanclub: https://shinozaki-ayana-official.jp/ - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ayana.shinozaki.official Murayama Yuiri: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/yuirii_murayama Mogi Shinobu: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/mogi0_0216 - Fanclub: https://mogishinobu-fc.jp/ Minegishi Minami: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/chan__31 - Fanclub: https://fanicon.net/fancommunities/3877 ______ Now then, let's talk a bit before I let you go.

At the time of this writing, of the 16 members of Minegishi Team 4 who were promoted on August 24th, 2013, 4 remain. And by March of next year, that number will be down to 2. I left the fandom in around 2019. The state of the management (which I won't elaborate on here, but you probably know...), combined with starting a new career in a new timezone led to me calling it quits as a 48G fan.

Okada Nana's graduation was a wakeup call to me though, that my beloved 13th gen had very little time left. So I returned briefly to the fandom in April 2023, to see the conclusion of their story. I discovered that so much had changed, much more than I could list here. But for one thing, I discovered that in my absence my kamioshi, Kitazawa Saki, had gone from being a struggling theater girl, to a full fledged stage actress! Joining an agency and becoming so busy that she was rarely in the theater! I was so proud. And it was not a moment too soon that I returned, because 2 months later, Saki announced her graduation. I got a chance to speak to her once at an online hanashikai. And then, in the greatest stroke of luck of my entire otaku existence, I was able to go to Japan to see her graduation stage in person. It was an experience I'll never forget.

As the 13th gen's time comes to a close, it is time for me to formally exit from the fandom as well. Saho and Yuiri remain for now, but I'm more interested in their activities outside the group.

In addition to tonight being 4'stylephilosophy's 10th anniversary, tonight is also the 9th anniversary of Takashima Yurina's graduation, my original kami oshi. I always found that coincidence remarkable. So even if it's only meaningful to me, this feels fitting.

I'll continue to follow the careers of some of my favorites from back then. Particularly Saki, Ayanan, Saho, Fukuoka Seina, Ino Miyabi, and Goto Moe, as well as Ishiwata Sena and Takahashi Ayane who I discovered more recently. I hope to see as many as I can in person someday too (already making plans to see one of Saki's stage plays sometime next year!), but it will no longer be as an AKB fan.

It was a fun 11 years but all things must come to an end. I'll still be on twitter, but for the most part my interests have shifted to following a certain pair of demon guard dogs (BAU BAU).

To all of those I called friends over the years, I'll always cherish the memories we shared.

Thank you all for being awesome, and for putting up with me.

Well I think that’s it then. I'm not sure if I can say this blog itself truly completed its original mission of bringing awareness of the members of Minegishi Team 4 to the foreign fandom. However, seeing how far the members came in these 10+ years, I can say that which was truly important was a success.

Anyway, finally I’m nearly out of words, so in closing, and most of all…

To Minegishi Team 4: Umemoe, and Nororinzu MogiYuri, and Triple彩 the Three Musketeers, and KabutomuChu! And to Captain Miichan…

Thank you for those unforgettable 234 days and for the wonderful years thereafter.

I’ll never forget you.

Until we meet again. 4’style

The 'Goddess of the Theater' Murayama Yuiri who has performed 1,300 times, the most in history, reflects on the last performance before the AKB48 Theater renovation on September 1st

The AKB48 Theater in Akihabara, Tokyo, which opened in 2005, will enter renovations after the "AKB48 Theater's Final Performance Before Renovation ~Thank you for the memories of 6843 days and 6552 performances~" on September 1st. On the 19th, Murayama Yuiri (27), known as the "Goddess of the Theater" for her record-setting 1,300 appearances, reflected on her feelings for the current theater, which she considers her "starting point," and also expressed her anticipation for the new theater, which will reopen on December 8th, its 19th anniversary.

Having stood on the AKB Theater stage more than anyone else, she harbors complex feelings about its renovation. When she first heard about it, her honest reaction was "sadness." She said, "It was my second home, a power spot, and a place of learning. I grew up in this theater. I’m feeling lonely that it will change significantly." She looked around the theater floor, savoring every moment.

In approximately 13 years of tenure, she reached the highest number of theater appearances in history. “I was just having fun on stage, and before I knew it, I've already reached 1,300 performances.” During the time when the team system was in place, she was prepared to step in for any member who was ill, whether it was for performances for Teams A, K, B, or 4. This effort contributed to the impressive number of performances she accumulated.

Murayama and the other 13th generation members joined in 2011, when the group was in its peak. She entered senbatsu more than six years after joining the group. “I realized that it's not just fun and games. I saw the harsh reality. I was compared to others, I didn't know how to gain popularity, and I couldn't see my goals. The days when I couldn't attend school continued, so I once made up my mind to quit when I was a kenkyuusei. It was to the point where I was ready to announce my graduation on the blog the next day.” However, it was the theater staff at the time who persuaded her to stay.

Above all, one reason Murayama decided to stay was the presence of her senpai, Nakata Chisato. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I was not very good at dealing with my seniors, except Chiichan (Nakata) who has given me great support." As the number of outside work for senbatsu members increased, "Chiichan continued to perform at the theater. And when she told me, 'It's hard to convey the importance of treasuring the theater to the juniors,' I became determined to protect the theater myself." It marked the beginning of her journey to becoming the "Goddess of the Theater".

From that point onwards, her activities focused heavily on the theater. She even cried over her reduced opportunities to perform in the theater when she entered senbatsu and was given outside jobs. After the group's general election's system changed to a candidacy system, she also decided to not participate in it. "I'm not denying the worth of general elections, but I felt it wasn't suited to me, and I didn't want to burden my fans. I wanted them to come to the theater instead," she explained as she maintained a firm resolve to prove that one could still become a popular member by continuously performing at the theater.

Even after experiencing live performances at venues like Tokyo Dome, she emphasized, "I love the AKB Theater the most." She highlighted the charm of the theater’s exclusive intimate setting, saying, "With the concept of being 'idols you can meet', the theater's "sublime proximity" is part of its charm."

From September 2nd, they will be travelling all over Japan for "AKB48 Theater 'Under Construction' Nationwide Tour," with the stage that Murayama produced. Additionally, the new theater, which will be inaugurated on December 8th with an original new stage written by Akimoto Yasushi, is hinted to have 'an even more dream-like world view.'

Murayama intends to continue performing at the new theater. She expressed her determination, saying, "I don’t want anyone to surpass my record (for the most performances)." She added, "For me, the theater is what it means to be in AKB. I've revealed all my emotions here. I want to give back to this theater for the rest of life. I'll work hard so that I can remain the Goddess of the Theater, even after the renovation," reflecting her strong resolve.

Did nct ever make sense financially:

But I want to explain why though

Nct was started as a group with infinite members. The goal was to have a male akb48

That being said the financial success of akb48 depended on the members doing various activities OUTSIDE of the group with an emphasis on practical safe and relatively inexpensive projects= consistent returns on investment.

Also the group's success depended on the group being well, actually successful.

S.m's marketing strategy is the opposite. The group is successful just by virtue of existing, they will get million invested in them regardless.

The group at least was thought of since the early 2010s when most of their members join. We know the group did not have a name and was simply a large collection of male trainee's. The group was basically a basket to keep their trainee's inside of. Don't worry if you do not make it into xyz group you can go to Nct.

Johnny was originally going to be a member of exo and was later placed in Nct, not the first round but in a later unit nct U.

It's actually very odd the thought and financial process of nct. Because unlike with akb48 it was not the direct intention to have the members do other projects and have seperate careers. It is the method of s.m to have people in groups for a majority of their career and then they can do other things. Unless you are lucky.

Also akb48 built up over time. It is a very old group, whereas nct gained lots of members quickly and the direction wasn't always decided or clear.

Like Akb48, Nct or SRB14 had a more direct and connected with the public image. They were not exo who were meant to be distant to create intrigue. They all had a pretty nice and approachable personality.

"AKB48 was founded as "idols you can meet".[4]Japanese idols are entertainers/performers who appeal directly to fans for support. Close interactions between fans and idols allow idols to cultivate and maintain loyal fan followings."

You won't remember Exo having a group youtube channel with weekly vlogs or having so many varieties even though they were a smaller group. Each group has a specialized team and marketing style.

AKB48 like nct had specialized teams as well

"According to former member Misaki Iwasa, each team has its own theme. Team A represents freedom; Team B is idol-like, with cute costumes, and Team K has a strong, powerful image"

AKB48 was very successful and had their own theater which would cut down on costs. The concepts were also more down to earth, they are more a performance troupe than an idol group. The focus is on entertaining the fans

Nct being a boy group inside of the kpop industry had a lot of competition and also they didn't have much of a pull besides having lots of members. They still had to travel and book venues and sellout stadiums to break even. Because boy bands are made to impress and show out. Of course lots of money is spent on expensive music videos, hotels, lots of staff, appearances at awards shows, top fashion for each member. Which is fine for a small group, but when the members keep growing and growing every year eventually getting into double digits; almost half the size of AKB48 in almost 1/3rd the amount of time, how is that sustainable?

It's not.

Simply put the more employees a company gains the more they spend paying their employees. If NCT is a company and the staff and members are the employees, then almost every year their costs increased. Even when they had good years, it was offset by the fact that their money would be paying for another unit. This is why s.m ent went so long without any other groups. And when they finally made a new group they took members already in NCT.

Add in the fact that there are some artists getting paid and sitting on the bench. They cannot afford to add them into a project or promote them. They can only bet on people they know will bring in money.

If they had brand new people that would be adding more and more people to the payroll, which at this point they likely can't afford. They would need a new project with already existing employees and have them double their workload--since they are the main ones bringing in money anyway, recycle in-house music and producers, and garner outside forces investing money on this dumpster fire to create something that would be profitable for the company. Send them to America so you can rack up the prices on tickets and merch cause Koreans sure won't go for this.

And...........that's how you get super m

okay now I'm done.

Also one more thing, the artists are not making money off the music, they make money other ways.

Spotify also takes a lot from the artists

Please, please stop streaming (too much music fries your brain) and bulk buying(is awful for the environment). The music industry has been dead, these artists are literal slaves. Good day.

Do you have any ultimate biases?

Oh gosh... Where do I even start? Sorry in advance if I forget some groups! (I'm a huge multi-stan)

I have 1 bias for some groups but more than 1 for others.

I'm biased toward the foreign members in several cases.

I'm also biased toward the rap line in many cases.

Whether or not the group leader is among my biases, I wholeheartedly respect them, because being the leader is tough.

Before I get started, please watch this hilarious SEVENTEEN cover of Wonder Girls' "Nobody"! (there are several memes out there because you can green-screen the background into anything you want)

f(x): Victoria & Amber

FIESTAR: Cao Lu & Yezi

ILLIT: too early to tell, but leaning toward J-line

IVE: Reilor Moon! (if you've watched "Accdendio", then you'll know)

IZ*ONE: J-LINE FTW! I've always been an AKB48 stan, but it's been difficult to keep up with ever since COVID-19 happened. I also follow all 4 girls who chose to go solo (Kwon Eunbi, Jo Yuri, Choi Yena, & Lee Chaeyeon).

KARA: mainly Nicole

Kep1er: Xiaoting, Hikaru, & CLC's Choi Yujin (literally 1 of each ethnicity)

SF9: mainly Hwiyoung

SHINee: mainly Taemin (although I don't follow all his solo releases)

Stray Kids: A tie between 3RACHA (as a trio) & DANCERACHA (also as a trio)... Sorry to VOCALRACHA.
