AKB48 Newspaper held a poll in the form of questionnaire last night on Google+ about the upcoming Grand Reformation on February 24. Each 48Group has separated post where wota of the respective group can answer the questions by the comment sections.
All the respondents were asked these same questions:
- Are you satisfied with the current condition of the group?
- Which team is your favorite? (within the said group)
- Do you agree with or against the Grand Reformation?
- Please state your thoughts. (if any)
The overall results, along with the link to the original Google+ post, per 2:00 AM JST, is as follow (apparently it is still ongoing):
—– Group satisfaction percentage —-
HKT48: 88.6% > NMB: 87.0% > SKE: 79.9% > AKB48: 29.7%
—– Against Grand Reformation percentage —
SKE48: 87.1% > HKT48: 80.8% > NMB: 80.7% > AKB48: 59.6%

*Note:
because there are many troublesome comments like “because we can still do better, I am not satisfied!” or “If we say we’re satisfied now, it will be over, forever I will stay not satisfied” or “This, in itself, is a stupid question. If this instead asked to [parents, agency, school, relatives, friends], I will understand the need for the question.It isn’t a question for fans”, even if they do not have dissatisfaction but chose dissatisfied anyway they are grouped into “satisfied”
In the same manner, those that answer “if it is only inside group reformation, I agree!” = “I don’t agree with grand reformation” is put in the same plate
Isn’t this the exact image of all of us
So Headquarter (AKB48) wota also against Grand Reformation
even then this is the pattern where the management will do it anyway
Which Team Oshi are you?
- Team A 61 votes
- Team K 30 votes
- Team B 36 votes
- Team 4 98 votes
So right now the headquarters has turned this way huh..
>> I think other than team 4, with the culture of “group oshi” destroyed, too many are only interested solely in their oshimen, so even if there is a reformation, response rate will be low
>> I guess this is close with team performance evaluation. Team oshi is strong in 4 and A but for team like B, support is strong for individual members.
The sister group gave the feeling “don’t drag us in with you!”
while I can feel from the headquarters the distorted feelings of “we’re not in the same plate”
(Team result) so SKE is in that kind of condition
>> If we look at the ticket sold in handshakes and stages, the evaluation is that KII is number 1 among the rest.
Isn’t this mean the need is only for AKB group?
Other group has no need of such thing as Reformation.
The result hasn’t even out yet, there is no way you can say you agree or disagree isn’t it?
although maybe just by disclosing only the outline the management would like to make the fans hyped about it
If we use this as a reference, then Reformation is being disapproved.

Statement about Grand Reformation on official blog
By management:
“The purpose of this event is to explore unseen possibilities of all members of 48G through re-organizing current teams.
During the announcement, general manager Takahashi Minami told us, ‘many members experience new places, get inspirations, and ultimately become a vital force for AKB48’s future.’
Like she said, the purpose of Grand Reformation is NOT to “Upset fans, stir up sensation and hijack media” but is to change the arrangement of flowers laid in a bouquet and let help people to re-discover how beautiful those girl who would otherwise hidden in shades and never get noticed are.
Just like the flower Hydrangea, girls may bloom in different color in different soils.
With this Grand Reformation, everyone can hopefully able to move on and move forward. We’re determined to make The G-reformation an event that affects all members positively.”
