Looking back at 48G member graduations in 2013

  December 27, 2013

“Chotto matte!!!”

We’ve seen far too many graduations this year, which don’t necessarily mean a bad thing, but is probably the worst thing that can happen to a fan if the graduating member in question is their oshi.

Did this happened to you anytime during 2013?
Or is any of you expecting that your oshimen will graduate anytime soon?

I’m hoping that this article will serve as a reflection for us fans to see that these girls below successfully mustered up their courage, decided that they are strong enough to take on whatever it is that they want to do on their own –without the “48” label on their backs– and went ahead with it.

It’s never an easy thing to do, specially after having to go through the auditions, competing with hundreds, or even thousands, of other girls, and then deciding to go on a totally separate way. Most people will just stick on their comfort zone and do what they’re asked to do, what they’re supposed to do, as opposed to what they want to do.

But these girls… I would like to believe that they found what they genuinely want to do, and while fully knowing that they will lose some or even all of their fan-base by graduating, graduated anyways and faced their uncertain future on their own.

Well, that’s enough rant for an article, let’s *sob* get on with the list.
