SKE has been needing a shuffle for a while. Team S was way to powerful and apart from one or two girls in KII and E who also got good treatment everyone else was ignored. Perhaps now these girls will have more room to increase their fan bases.

That, and by now even without the grads Team S was down to 11 members or something, which is not exactly enough.. I'm happy about this. With Rena in team E it should get some good attention
