AKB48 Is Still The Best J-Idol Group Of All Time

The title is pretty extreme right? But for me, AKB48 is really the best J-Idol group of All Time for me. Even though my favorite generation in AKB has ended their legacy and impact still reigns in my Jpop fandom. You all know how I try to immerse myself in the Japanese language and that I'm continuously looking for new artists that I could listen to and maybe motivate me too, right? No matter how much I try, I still go back to AKB48. Their sound is familiar, giving me nostalgia and it makes me want to cry. lol Their music feels great, they are all impressive and maybe I'm reacting this way because I have great memories of this group in the past. Even though I've became outdated about them for a long time, as my fandom stilled into hiatus, my admiration towards them still sparks every time I listen to their song. 

Original AKB48 Kami 7 Marriages

We all know that I've been a huge fan of AKB48 before. And I think it's only proper for me to actually celebrate a very important event of their lives. That's non other than their "marriage".
Yep, that thing is inevitable like Thanos.

Anyway, in commemoration of all the broken hearts I mean the marriage of our favorite idols from the past, let me list down here their marriage announcement dates.

1. Maeda Atsuko (Announcement: July 31, 2018)

Who would ever know that the first ever member of Kami 7 that announced graduation would be the first one to get married as well? Just proved she's first at anything not just the general elections. lol
Kidding aside, according to the news, Maeda and her lucky husband registered their marriage July 30, 2018. Their corresponding agencies delivered the news to every Japanese media the following day. By August 1, 2018 the husband actually posted on his instagram which basically to confirm and send thank you greetings.

If in case you are curious, Maeda was 27 years old and her husband was 31 years old by the time they tied the knot.

Well at least our Maeda is now happy and with a baby boy now. Huwa! Time surely flies by so fast! I can't believe we're all getting old.
