What kind of effect do you think Sasshi's return to glory might have on the rest of the girls in AKB?

It seems to me that it might give them the wrong impression about what they can or can't get away with. After all, if career death isn't a factor, what's to stop an AKB girl from breaking dating rules in the future?

I'm sure you're not alone, but I don't agree.

I think a lot of people are put off by rotating senbatsu and graduating members. It hurts when your oshimen goes away. I have had it happen more than once.

You just gotta weather the storm and I think it's absolutely crucial that you enjoy the music. If you truly enjoy the music, nothing about AKB is stale, because they have continued to release high quality 3.5 minute pop songs of pretty much unwavering quality since the inception of the group.

If you're just in it because of an attachment to a single member, yeah, it's gonna be really hard to stay interested.

My first oshimen was a H!P girl who led the flagship group for several years. She was in the group when I first started listening to the unit and for about five years I saw other members graduate, but none of this really resonated with me because MY favorite was still there, leading, beautiful, and strong.

When they announce the graduation of your favorite member, it's like getting dumped. You're no longer going to have an endless supply of music, photos, and videos with which to connect to that member.

That's why it's gotta be about the music first.

Unless the music starts to suck and then you're really screwed.
