PANEL QUESTIONS
– AKB48 Apocalypse/doomsday this was or was not?
– Do you believe that the sister groups were plundered for all they were worth? Was there equal value going back the other way?
– Any shocking moves? Were there some that didn’t make sense?
– Only one person goes to the jungle. Chikano Rina in JKT48? Will she be just as invisible as she is in AKB?
– Matsui Rena/Ikoma Rina (http://nihongogo.com/2014/02/change-org-petition-to-seperate-nogizaka46-and-akb48-goes-live-akb48%E2%80%B2s-dai-sokaku-matsuri-fallout/)
– Is the fact that Nogizaka was part of the reformation such a great social injustice that fans must go to these lengths? Is this a waste of time or do these people have any grounds for wasting valuable web space for a lost cause?
– Miyazawa Sae. Will she find a way to abandon SKE & bail back to Shanghai?
