akb48 1st generation history! (2005-2021) 

hi!

Imagine being transferred to a sister group, only to have that group disband and you're forced to graduate. I always felt like it was a sort of betrayal to those girls. If they had stayed in AKB, who knows what could have happened.

I miss seeing the first generations perform together :(

Miichan almost made it to 16 years :(... ❤

2008 when the love-ban rule was announced, many members got graduated immediately.

Its kinda amazing how no3b unit stay till the end

it must've been hard for miichan to see her fellow 1st gen co-members graduate. but I'm so happy for them.

Pinku, Mariko, Miichan, Kaya, Acchan, Kojiharu, Tomochin, Michiru, Flower, Nozomi, Minami, Risa , Rina, Mai and Natsumi are each my favorites . I wish they were all still active today

this concept of videos is so interesting !!

Tomochin is my fave out of first gen but transferring her to team k was one of the best decisions ever imo…she fit the concept perfectly!

I wish we could've seen Maimai in General Elections times... she would be at least top 3, if not a threat to both Yuko and Acchan.

Its sad that some of the first gen members are not famous in akb and some even graduated early

Possibly a coincidence, but not quite sure : 2nd Gen ended around the 10th anniversary of AKB48 with the graduation of Miyazawa Sae, Umeda Ayaka, and Kobayashi Kana, 1st Gen ended around the 15th anniversary with Minegishi Minami's graduation. We just need Kashiwagi Yuki to stay until 2025 for the 20th anniversary.

tomochin is my favorite of the 1st gen

i keep watching old videos of the 1st generation.. they really were amazing, i love takamina :(

More generations, please. Keep up the good work :)

Nice video, i miss them all so much. I thought you would include information about Komatani Hitomi and Tojima Hana returning to SDN48 as the 3rd generation, in May 2011, because they were both part of the 1st generation of AKB48, and still returned to 48 groups after they both graduated in 2008. This video is great!!

Aw man this hurt Thank you for the timeline tho!!

thank you, this video goes to my homepage🌸

りなてぃんとまいまい推してたけどほぼ同時期くらいに卒業してしまってそれからはゆかりんとあっちゃんを推してた りなてぃんとまいまいには全盛期まで残ってて欲しかったなと思う

Miichan was the one who was demoted, and yet was the last 1st gen member to have graduated. What an mvp!

Shinoda Mariko ❤️

I love Yuko and Maeda

can you make a video on the "cursed" 8th gen? none of them ever got to debut

Could you do nmb48 1st generation?:D

I always find myself wondering if the girls who graduated early on would have stayed in the group if they knew the fame and notoriety that awaited.

It has to be the ace Acchan. She so cute and her voice is beautiful.
