I was wondering why GM Narumi still hasn't made a speech about the current and future plans of the AKB48 girls. It seems her GM status officially activates on March 17, 2024, but observing GM Narumi, she's probably already talking to the members and starting to organize them.

Ekebi girls need more visibility and interaction with other members. I realized this while reading about the thread on stage48 about AKB48 needing kpop. I've realized long ago that Produce 101 copied and replicated the AKB48 system and life stories. It's not just about replicating the voting system, but they've condensed the drama, struggles, and interaction with the orher contestants into a 3 month period, and heightened the visibility through TV and internet discussion. Following 48G is like watching a reality TV show. But there's something missing with this "AKB48 show". And I realize what was missing, and that is the goal of the show.

What is the goal of AKB48?

GM Narumi needs to set a goal for the group, and then the group would actively participate or work on this project.

For example, they keep mentioning they will try to get back to kouhaku, BUT WHERE'S THE FUCKING PLAN SOCKANTOKU mion? JUST FUCKING EMPTY WORDS AND PLATITUDES LIKE PAYING A PROSTITUTE TO SAY TO YOU THAT SHE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH

GM Narumi make this a goal not just for the members, but for the fans as well.
