I kinda get why the SNH girls were put back in AKB because of their Visa troubles but Sae looked so unhappy at the announcement....


Here's a new CM:

My understandment was that they were going to be concurringly in both groups?

Did I misunderstand that?

[DSQueenie]

Yes they are but I think Sae is kinda done with AKB and so now she'll have even less time to be in SHN when her Visa finally does come though.

I'll be honest I don't really understand but it was clear she was really no into the idea of being in AKB again.

On twitter she said:

あのね、、、

嬉しいってゆっても失礼な気がするし、嬉しくないってゆっても失礼になっちゃうから言葉が出てこない。

I think… it’ll be rude to say I’m happy about this…. But at the same time, it’ll be rude if I say I’m not happy about this…. Thus I can’t quite find the right word for this

[Pavlova]

I don't know about her being done with AKB48... I remember on whichever talk show she did say they had to work quite hard to convince her to accept the transfer.

That tweet could go both ways though. She talks about possibly being happy before talking about possibly being sad. I think she's not sure how to publicly react, regardless of what her actual feelings are.

You'd think she'd be happy about getting some time with Sayaka before Sayaka leaves.. I guess. I just get the feeling they were very surprised, over anything else.. I mean she's going to get a loooot more exposure as part of AKB48.. and I mean Harugon didn't get transferred back, and she also didn't enter the election, so my guess is if Sae was really this over AKB48, maybe she wouldn't have entered the election at all? Of course this is all speculation..

I'm happy to see Sae and Mariyannu back, then again Sae used to be my oshi for a while so that's to be expected. And Mariyannu is just great and underappreciated.

Akicha could totally stay over there though -_- not really a fan.

Really though I need to re-edit my "liked members" list on Fb now lol. Put Sae back as my Team K oshi.
