It was announced on December 6th that some changes were made regarding the group structures for SKE48.

The group’s official website updated with a list of the newly formed ‘Team E’, which was narrowed down to a selection of 26 ‘research students’.

‘Team KII’ is also undergoing some rotations, as four members – Shiori Iguchi, Mikoto Uchiyama, Momona Kito, and Makiko Saito – were demoted to ‘research student’ status. The newly composed ‘Team KII’ list was also published on SKE48’s official website.
