Thinking about this now AKB is really extra crazy. In the past other idols with issues or who couldn't follow the rules were quietly let go and went away. But with AKB, mostly with the popular girls, it's dragged out and they're "punished" by being demoted or sent to another group when really it's just a ploy retain some of their fanbase and gain new fans out of pity. It's kind of annoying actually.
