The announcement seems to be on whether or not she will participate in the upcoming election. The article only mentions that she "might" touch on the graduation.
I don't think it's about her graduation consider the date of TD hasn't even been set yet. In the mean time, base on some of the new I'm hearing in Chinese circle, Aachan is perferring to have her graguation held in the theater. So the rumor/speculation that's around now is that her graduation might not be until end of the year, either in the anniversary performance, Christmas, or New Year. Since she already stated that her graduation won't be until after TD concert and TD concert probably won't happen until August at earliest and other the her birthday (which would already be passed in July) those three events are biggest for the theater. Some of the articles from sites on Aachan expressing preference to graduate in AKB48 Theater. http://b.pic.to/1htewx

The preference is not shocking, the question is that the theater only holds 250 max and that's plus the standing room. If they does do that it mean this will be more of an closed graduation and that might not be what the agencies what.
Though I guess they can always goes with stream and link to theaters or G+ like they seem to be doing lately in the past year. The interesting part is election. If she decide not to enter, the CD sales might get impacted. But if she do decide to enter, it means that the real test and the center competition really won't start until next year for AKB.

Subtitled variant available:
http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=8798NGDD2KD8 Again, I wish her for the best, as she goes above and beyond. And what a great character of selflessness she is, more than most politicians who do not know shit about humility. We Filipinos have a word for her character: delicadeza... and by that she's effectively one of those modern-day National Treasures.

I WANTED TO VOTE FOR ACCHANNNNNN!!!!! ;___;
Well I'm interested in who the Acchan fans votes will go to I remember people said Yuko won once because Acchan's haters and Yuko fans voted for her but now those fans will vote for their own oshi. Maybe Takamina? IDK..i feel like Acchan fans would want to support her hubby and AKB leader.

Okay, here's the current rules for this year's elections.
We have about 240 girls from all teams, with the exception of Aachan, who, as we have known, withdrew her participation from the elections in preparation for her eventual graduation. Also, no media senbatsu this time. Here's a list of the top contenders and stats (of course, Aachan had to be grayed out): I'll be expecting the next two under Aachan to go toe-to-toe. This is going to be one tough race, and who knows, there could be a dark horse coming out of nowhere and drop in like a bomb. Nope, race is the wrong word to describe this year's elections. It's gonna be more like Battle Royale.

LOL koijyuu XD Hate the 16 senbatsu. Voting for Takamina and Sayaka. Sayaka have such high chance of dropping off the senbatsu this year ;___; BTW how do you get the theater ver of the CD? I like the song on there from the Gree CM Btw I hate how the AKB channel approve comments. I feel like I just copy and paste the translation for Acchan's announcement for like 12401248 people and I don't even know if it will get approval <__<

Finally, after a whole day of plane I'm in Taiwan though having limited internet.
Obviously I missed the snnouncement. It's an interesting one because from the management side they definitely want Aachan to participate this last election. I think this announcement also represent that Aachan is at least going out on her term and the managemet (AKB48 side not her agency) is at least respectful of that. This brings back to her graduation performance, it now look very possible she will get her wish for a theater graduation as well. Which could get really interesting in picking up the days. As for annnouncement itself. She confirms that she did discuss at length with certain member, though I find it interesting she used the word " my memebers". She is obviously not refer to the whole Team A and based on various reaction sh's not even mentiong the Senbatsu Memebers. She is specifically refering to the 6 original (including Mariko) and again shows the strong connection they have between each other. I really wish her votes would switch Takamina. Not really about the center spot, consider she is usually one of the top 3 featured in singles anyway. But just the symbolic meaning it would've had having the general of the whole 48 army be on top just this once with everything she gone through past year would really mean a lot. I find it interesting that the picture Sa547 share sperates the top 8 members out and not 7, which gives me a little chuckle. Though it is interesting that all the top 8 members all manages to perform 20 shows which is pretty impressive considering their sechdule. The ones that don't are one that are active in various fields and not just one or two. But when you breaking everything down, you can get a feel on what the top members and concertrate on. Of the top 8 it's obvious that Takamina, Yukirin, and Mayuyu are the ones that has less indivisual jobs outside of AKB, so my hope is that for stability reason they are the three that gets the most votes. On side note, few days ago I stumble on a Takamina fan page where it details the month in 2010 (or 2009?) where Takamina collapsed after a stage performance and was send to hospital for 2 days due to fatigue. It list the schedule for her entire month and it is scare how busy it was, there is not a day off and considering that they are 10 times more busy than 2 years ago, it incredible how they find times to even sit down. That just made these girl the more impreessive for me. Everyone of them are literally buring their life away working in hope that they can keep both the 48 train and themselves going. going

Went over browsing the super-high-res action shots that the (you know what outfit I'm talking about) have accomplished during the DC concert, so damned gorgeous it really beat the other live concert pics.
Re: senbatsu elections - although the veterans Yuko and Yukirin have excellent reps, I see Jurina from SKE as one of those upstarts that's often being mentioned by some wota. My beef with her, however, is that she tends to push herself too hard (as evidenced by her recent absence from a handshaking event and hospital confinement; she's in dire need of time and energy management). As much as I like Mayuyu for her charms, I still find Takamina preferable as an interim Center as far as leadership and team unity is concerned. Petite? Yes. Recognizable? Yes. Professional? Damn yes! Charismatic and entertaining? Hell yes! ---------- Nearly spat out my drink after reading this from her old archives. O_o BLACK SWAN?? Wow, considering that I watched this movie (and Perfect Blue) that's the deep end of the pool, ladies. Happy seeing Aachan in her usual routine yesterday. ---------- OBTW, those in Seattle and checking out Sakura-Con 2012 will get to see: Quote:

OH BTW! TAKAMINA IS 21!!! <3 http://ameblo.jp/atsuko-maeda/entry-11216898405.html ATSUMINA LOVE <3

Sorry for late replay, as I mentioned, limited connection until I'm back in state late next month. Anyway no, that is not my channel. At least I don't think it is, since I don't remeber uploading any HR video.

I just noticed...are the ones wearing white the girl in the relationship? XD BTW~ Anyone read this? What do you think? http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3696640.html Personally I don't get what's the writer is going on about with Acchan graduation. Alot of entertainment news like who's having a baby and who's dating who, and who break up with who get front paper news too. And the part talking about Acchan speech at the senbatsu is so pointless. Every celeb have haters.. And let's not get start on Kpop "self aware sexuality" where they do aegyo like 12 yrs old and sing innocently about "oppa what to do? I'm in love with you. I don't know how to act" ok... And of course..since i'm a college AKB fangirl..I must not exist because only elementary kids like AKB... Also these girls don't exist either Or these http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=4RKRG977K4S3 yeah....but then again I don't think the Japan Times actually like AKB to begin with..
