AKB48's New Team - Team 4


Initially when news came out that the ten Kenkyuusei that were promoted would be forming a new group called Team 4, I was kind of skeptical, for many reasons. Which I would talk about later. However, as more and more news surface on different sites about Team 4 and a double check on the Official site, I have come to realize that it was not just a rumor but is for real!

A quick glance at members that were promoted to form Team 4:

From 9th Gen
  • 島田晴香 (Shimada Haruka)
  • 島崎遥香 (Shimazaki Haruka)
  • 大場美奈 (Oba Mina)
  • 竹内美宥 (Takeuchi Miyu)
  • 中村麻里子 (Nakamura Mariko)
  • 山内鈴蘭 (Yamauchi Suzuran)
  • 永尾まりや (Nagao Mariya)
  • 森杏奈 (Mori Anna)
From 10th Gen:
  • 市川美織 (Ichikawa Miori)
  • 仲俣汐里 (Nakamata Shiori)
My previous post on the 10 promoted Kenkyuusei here.

Team 4 would be performing their own stage sometime soon but whether if it would be an original stage or reviving a new stage, it is not confirmed yet. Congratulations to the 10 promoted members!!

Okay, now come to the problem. I have been thinking, since a Team 4 is created, could there be a possibility that a Team 8 would be created in the future?

Whether or not that Team 8 would be created, with the addition of Team 4, wouldn't the total of members in AKB48 exceed 48 by a lot and not tally with it's name?

Could it be that Team 4 is a temporary group before there's space in Team A, K or B? (Which I highly doubt so)

Or could it be that there would be quite a handful of members form Team A, K and B be graduated as there was another news that appeared for quite sometime already, saying that Akimoto is going to kick about 8 members out due to halfheartedness or rudeness to the staff. Need to clarify on this piece of news though. (A total horror to the fans of those that would be graduating if this is true)

Any ideas? D=
