^ Yes, that's right now that I think about it... it's just that she got pushed more "secretly" whereas we know exactly when akb girls are being put in the spotlight or not XD What I meant more than what I actually said was that, nowadays, entering AKB is almost a sure path to become famous. That's because AKB is BIG now so if you want to become famous that is the most likely chance you'll have to succeed and as many of the girls (graduates mostly) in there say "akb is a platform to start, a transit to achieve your dreams"
So, excluded 1st generation members who worked to make akb famous, anyone who is entering in the new generations are already in the spotlight in a way or another, supported by the group name... then it's up to them if they become aces or not, but they have a very high chance to do so and most likely will. It's easier in some way because yes, you have to be liked but you already are put in front of million of people so it's def easier imo XD

Ayu tho was and is a solo artist, and when she started she had to make a name, start from "zero" with the public even though pushed... a bit like akb 1st generation members. Only that doing it alone it's more difficult I believe.

Idk if I explained myself well XD
