In a nutshell: she's leaving AKB48 to do other projects, so she's "graduating" from AKB48

Hopefully she becomes like some of the other AKB48 "Graduates" and those other projects are porn |

Too old, she's being kicked out to the curb to prostitute her body!

the girl is 21. How the hell is that old. She's leaving of her own free will. The management is actually trying to hold her back but their creator said he has already troubled her for 6 yrs to carry on the AKB name and become the sole receiver of hate as AKB's image girl, and it's time to let her do what she want.
Not some. ONE. People need to stop exaggerating and get the facts right. That girl left the group when they weren't popular so she couldn't cash in on their popularity when they finally made it big in 2010 so she went into porn. Considering her sister joined her into AV...I'm guessing it's probably not AKB influence. Beside Acchan is one of the most popular, and she's already aiming for an acting career since she has acted in dramas and movies already. Also she's one of the top CM appearances last year with like 16 or something contracts. She's too much of an introvert to actually do something like AV. She didn't even like smiling or act interested on variety so obviously the girl can't fake it. Last edited by mochichan on Thu May 17, 2012 3:53 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Oh, she probably won't do it right away while she still has options open to her. In 5 years, when she's too "old" and people don't care about her anymore? I expect she'll be doing it then. People with little talent outside of looking good don't have many other ways to make easy and quick money. Also, I don't think someone who dances in skimpy outfits infront of tons of horny guys is an "Introvert". That was probably just some created personality like they always do. |

LOL lots of irrelevant AKB members that's less popular than her got old, graduated and didn't do porn. Some when to own their own business or settle down and have a family. What make you think porn will be the last resort? They can't leave the industry and settle down? Beside no one know about the future. Beside if Horitaki Maki can get drama jobs despite being a dead fish actress, I don't see how Acchan can't make it..<__< The girl cried on stage after performing her pseudo solo song Nagisa no Cherry that was meant to promote her and asked "why am I being promote over other girls and put in the front?" as a 14 yrs old when she should be happy that people are promoting her over others. It's not like you follow them so how do you know? She's gloomy as f*ck in the beginning. She doesn't do anything to stand out. Even the theater manager commented how quiet she was and was wondered how she became the front girl. It's not a created personality. No one would create a personality where they look completely uninterested...it's not appealing to any fans because that's part of the reason why alot of people hate her. She just know what she have to do to have the career she want, and not to disappoint the staffs and AKB members as the face, but that doesn't mean she's an outgoing person or w/e even the way she talk don't sound like someone that's talkative or outgoing when other members smiled and joked alot in their interview. http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=RNR7A5178NWW |

No. because she actually have other career options and not an attention seeker like Rina....She actually have a good singing voice according to fans and she still went down that route. Since the group have 3408109 something girls and everyone except Rina went on to have normal jobs, what make you guys think Acchan will do porn? The odd and statistic don't support that assumption so i'm guessing people are just think "well it's AKB so it's expected"? Since 2009, AKB became mainstream, the top girls had at least 10 CM contracts signed last year, are acting on dramas and movies, and involve in fashion modeling (Shinoda Mariko have her own fashion magazine), and girls like Masuda Yuka, Umeda Ayaka etc can sing, Iwasa Misaki is going to do enka and already have a solo song Mujin Eki, and they're are planning on being solo singers, not to mention AKB have a diverse fanbase with females, males and young teens, not just wotas/otakus (a huge common misconception), they got more options before going that route. |

he's just a troll. she'll probably take a good long break before she does anything. she's been the lead girl of akb48 for so long she's just burnt out. i think it's a huge mistake because the group is a money making machine and she's the #1 girl in it so leaving makes no sense even if she's not loving it anymore. her career will likely go downhill i'm sorry to say.

She was the "Image Girl"?? - so Maeda's leaving means more screen time for Mayuyu & Kojima! Mayuyu is clearly the future of AKB anyway. Rina never did anything for me. It's funny the thing I remember most is how much she loved her refrigerator that she bought in a video I saw of her apartment. She made fried chicken in a tiny fry cooker. I felt sorry for her alone in that tiny apartment trying to become famous. I fear she felt that if she didn't do porn she might just be a "Former Idol" and be forgotten if she didn't break the mold. |

Dam - I hope not. I want Maeda to stay pure in my mind In the SoftOnDemand adult video parodies called "Idol Unit"? - there's a look-a-like that you could say might be her counter-part and she's really cute so you can enjoy that. I think Aya Hirano will be in Porn before the next AKB starlet is - which is to say most likely NEVER. |

I agree - you can get burned out. AKB48 could explode in a whole new direction and open the doors to girls like Mayu Watanabe to be #1 girl!! I never heard of Momoiro Clover Z till their song on "Bodacious Space Pirates" and I think (personally) they really toke off when the Blue one (Akari?) left - they jell so well and look amazing as a quintet as opposed to a sextet. I've seen the older stuff and the Blue clover looks too tall and didn't look as "moe" compared to the others (my perspective) Is MomoClo "better" cause she left?? Maybe, who really knows? For me, I'd say yes but maybe it was just timing and catching a break with that Anime Open. However, they did Re-Name the group "Momoiro Clover Z" & re-mixed former hits as "Z versions" (without "Blue"). I think AKB48 will be fresh and new to see who fills in Maeda's spot - sometimes change is good. |
