Well, I finally figure out the my own question earlier on what exactly are those legacy members and the generation honorific are for.
Should have realized it sooner since its a fairly common cultural tradition in East Asia when it comes to professions and clans. I just got confuse by the names and thought those legacy members were suppose to be their real live self.
Legacy members are simply regular members who inherited the name of the original (real live) AKB members based on the quality they displayed. So Takamina the 5th is literally the 5th Takamina or fourth person to carry the name Takamina and isn't Takamina being the 4th generation of some unknown group.
Anyway, looking at the VA list for Legacy members, it's really a who's who list. It reminds me of the VA talent that Sakura Taisen (the game) was able to secure. This type of thing just doesn't happen often, even if they are really just there as supporting cast.
