		<description><![CDATA[LOL they caused her to go into a britany spear&#039;s meltdown because she dated a boy?

It&#039;s really none of her business that she can date contract or not. She&#039;s human too and needs a hubby admist the sea of seamen sprayed otaku garbage. 

That&#039;s one stupid code from the AKHB that needs to be lifted. Sure the sellout is cute virgin girls but it&#039;s just the role they are playing as. Their real and personal lives should be separated and respected.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we were in a hurry preparing for the streaming and we have received a report that Minegishi really wants to apologize personally with her hair shaved. We felt how strong her will and feeling towards AKB48 was, so we decided to stream the video as we planned.

â–¡ Was it necessary to shave her hair?

It wouldn&#039;t be necessary even if you ask if it was necessary or not. It was just that Minegishi really wanted to convey how strong her feeling was.

â–¡ Did anybody stop her from shaving her hair?

I heard that when she came out from the make up room, she had already shaved her hair. It seems that the staff beside her did stop her. However, I heard that she said that people might think of her as a fool, but she really wanted to put her reflection into action, so she cut her bangs using scissors without losing control over herself.

â–¡ Isn&#039;t it unfair that the punishment for each of the members who had scandals were different?

It would be better if we can establish the same rule. However, we are experiencing a dilemma because it is difficult to conceive a common rule since each member is under a different situation.
For example, a member had been warned many times, but did not listen to anyone and created a scandal.
There was also a member who wanted to pursue her dreams and was about to plan on graduating when a scandal about her was exposed.
There was also a member whose past was discovered.
There was also a member whose scandal was not exposed, but still had a huge rule violation.
Please do understand that we have to make decisions with consideration to many circumstances.

â–¡ There was a photo of Minegishi, which has been uploaded on the internet, where she looked like she was having fun with the first generation members. Did she really reflect on her actions?

Before the rehearsals of the theater performance of Team B, I saw Minegishi who came to apologize with an exhausted expression on her face, so I can say that she has reflected on her actions. At the same time, it seemed like she was trying her best not to make people around her feel worried. I think that is the reason why the members of the same generation as her were encouraging Minegishi who was feeling depressed.

We, the managing team, would like to support the members who are trying their best to pursue their dreams by having continuous discussion with them.

pshhh I am curious now to see which member didn&#039;t get the scandal yet and remained hidden]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[YES MORE PUNISHMENT

This pleases me.
Though they shouldn&#039;t have taken the cards away from those that bought them, just make it a sort of legacy card no longer available.

Hell even give the option to those that already had it of burning it in the game.

AND CHARGE FOR IT

I&#039;m sure some otku would  actually pay to burn the virtual card they had.
CAPITALISM HO]]></description>
