So… who’s next? (Aitakatta!)

This is the second long-awaited post in Cat’s “Graduation” series.  And please don’t hold it against her if your favorite girl makes this list (Tanamin, grrrr!)  She takes a look at who might me next in line in each team to leave AKB48.  Most of the choices here make a lot of sense.  And in many ways you can see the proverbial “writing on the wall”.  Either because their other commitments are taking precedence, or they just aren’t getting enough exposure within the unit.  Cat gives detailed reasons for each girl picked.  Although in her eyes most of them are safe for the moment, save a certain member of Team A.  But heck, this stuff stopped being predictable a long time ago!

There have been many graduations as of late.  As sad as it might be, I think a lot of it isn’t too surprising.  Wasn’t this the original concept of the group?  Develop their talent, and then send them out into the entertainment world as seasoned pros?
