As we start the New Year, let us look back at an eventfull 2009, and forward to a brand new year of AKB48

The TOP 5 happenings in 2009
5. AKB48 back in Kouhaku 2009
       It's not easy being on that show. AKB48 didn't get invited for 2008.
4. Oshima Mai graduation
       Big loss to AKB48 since she was a major frontgirl. Many fans were devastated.
3. New York Anime Festival
       AKB48's debut concert in the West. Well there was Japan Expo in France too but NYAF is more important.
2. AKB48 Team Shuffles announcement
       The most shocking event in 2009. Worse is that it had to be announced after a concert.
1. RIVER
       Needs no text here. Other than AWESOME!


The TOP 5 (going to happen) happenings in 2010
5. Moar Walletraeping
       Support official goods! Bigger projects need bigger budget.
4. Majisuka Gakuen
       AKB48's first very own Dorama! Starring AKB48 (and some SKE).
3. Concerts
       I can't think of what to say here. Nevertheless more and bigger concerts is good.
2. New Singles and Stages
       AKB48 ain't AKB48 without their music. More darks songs please!
1. Team Changes
       Already delayed for few months. Start it already i'm getting impatient!


I also changed the header image from the NYAF miniconcert to the Team K performance during the sports festival. Jan 2010 is the supposed date of the Team changes. Gonna miss the old Team K. The reason why I used that pic (even though the quality sucks and it's blurry) is because thats where Team K confirmed their unity.
