http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/114...heatercopy.png

They have a theater in Akihabara (a district in Tokyo, Japan) where they perform once every weekday, and twice on both Saturday and Sunday. The theater is set up on the 8th floor of Don Quixote. The group is split up into 3 teams Team A, Team K and Team B. Team A Team K Team B News Spoiler:

Yeah! You used the title :yes
The other thread still had 50 posts to it though....w/e. That thread was getting a bit stale anyway :D Yay for new thread.....to think a few months ago the AKB48 thread was the definition of dead threads.... |
:D Yeah. Meh 50 posts the thread will be full in....a few days? Yeah I didn't think it'd get anywhere close to the second thread either.
|
BTW people, AKB48 has grabbed the no. 1 spot on the United World Chart singles list!
|
O_o
Didn't expect to see this for another few days. :laugh Though, I'm not complaining the previous thread was sooooo pre-RIVER. :innocent Quote:
|
LOL we abandoned the old thread Meh there's more fans now (like me!) so it's a new era. And I love the title!
Aww I just read on arama the translation of the new single title (My turn by Chance) I think it's sooo cute!! |
AKB48 is coming to Singapore next week! I was really looking forward to it but I have exams...
|
They went to Korea, China and now Singapore... I bet they can't wait to start auditions for international 48 groups!!
By the way today Beginner ranked #2 with 6,106 copies = 867,077 |

Good idea though really. and re posting from the other thread AKB48 Zenkoku Tour "AKB ga yattekita!!" DVD Box: http://shop.akb48.co.jp/items/view/254 Release date: 11/28 Price: 19,800 yen Includes: *Separate A, K, and B versions. *9 Discs *Photobook *5 random member photos *Trading card Disc contents: Disc 1 - Team A Hiroshima concert Disc 2 - Team A Osaka concert Disc 3 - Team A Sendai concert Disc 4 - Team K Fukuoka concert Disc 5 - Team K Sapporo concert Disc 6 - Team K Nagoya concert Disc 7 - Team B Osaka concert Disc 8 - Team B Nagoya concert Disc 9 - Making Seems like it would be worth the money but many of the concerts have the same track listing. Also video previews for the PSP game are out http://psp-akb48.channel.or.jp/movie/ |
^^LOL, are they going to finish the week at Number #2? :roflmao
^Hehe, can't wait to see what you do with the 'Members You Should Know' section. I thought you would've listed them by 'rank' but your way (by team) seems nicer. XD Box set definitely seems nice but not too crazy about shelling out $200 for some repeated setlists. :-/ Not that I could afford it.... at least, not atm. :P |
What the f........
I almost forgot how pretty BoA used to be. |
Takamina was so good! This definitely cements her as my second favorite. Tomochin looked really different, but cute. And Minegishi sounded good, but she's still one of my least favorites. Am I the only one who thinks she's very ugly? lol
|
She's not ugly to me....just really weird looking. Her face is a tiny bit creepy.
|
I'm not gonna lie, the first time that I noticed Minegishi was from some DVD bonus content of 10nen Sakura and I was scared because her eyes are ENORMOUS but I think I got used to it, she is not ugly, she is cute and I love her because she is so energetic while performing :heart

They did a good rendition to that song ^_^ |
They covered it very well!! Nice to hear their voices!
|
|
Moving up ("bumping") to get attention here!

coping my post from last thread
I am new with AKB 48 can someone tell me what stages are? Some kind of musicals or just small concerts what is the diffrence bettwen stage and a regular concert from AKb also I wanted to ask where is a good place to download their DVD's (Avi or ISO) I know they are on JPS but those are heavy and my ratio will be low so I am serchign for Direct Download or ever online watching... |
Quote:
Stages are performed by 16 members: Team A, Team K, Team B (Concerts are performed by 48 members from AKB48 and they use to include members from SKE48/SDN48/NMB48 as well). From time to time each team get a new stage with a list of new songs. Each team has their own stage songs though in the past they shared stage songs. They perform stages in AKB theatre (Concerts are performed in big halls). Before a team starts a new stage they release a CD containing the studio recordings from the latest stage. In stages they perform a setlist of new stage songs while in concerts they perform a mix of new and old stage and single songs. Quote:

I don't know where it is but you can try JPHiP and AKB48 Online too
|
So I have a doubt here http://wiki.jpopstop.com/wiki/Team_K...Hajimaru_yo%22 is this rerecored version of this http://wiki.jpopstop.com/wiki/Team_A...Hajimaru_yo%22 cause they sound perfectly the samre for me and I think they just use records by team A on team K album instead of rerecording them...
|

|
The ones that are officially released are in studio I believe. Though I have team B 3rd stage downloaded and it seems to be recorded at the theatre. Or it could be a rip from the DVD...
|
Quote:
K1 and A1 have mostly the same songs but they really sound different, vocals and music wise. One of the most noticeable changes are the introduction drums in the song AKB48. They were removed in Team K's version of the song. Quote:

I guess I just wanted to make sure about them since I'm excited about SDN48 and if they follow the release patterns of AKB48, then I'll know what to expect. :yes Quote:
|
I wish SDN48 would have released a proper single....like Yuuwaku no Garter...not some Korean ripoff like Gagaga.....such good work gone to waste without even a DVD....I don't like how the featured members are all old AKB48 castoffs too.....

Has this been posted yet?
Team A's song "Kurumi to Dialogue" Team K's song "Alive" It's pretty cool (as expected), can't wait to see the PV. So far, I think KtD is my favorite of the team songs. :yes |
Quote:
I'm really shocked though. The song sounds incredible. I guess I was expecting a pretty bleh single after the epicness that was Beginner, and since CnJ doesn't seem to be anything too special either. If the PV to KtD is a full version of that commercial in PV form, I'm soooo buying the single. |
Both songs sound great!! I think I'll definitely get version A when dora gets it on ebay!! xD
|
Kurumi to Dialogue and Alive are so different but I love both :luv2 They're so good
|
|
Erena :weep
|
Love Team A's song!!
|
Just checked Taiwan's chart and I found these:
Kamikyokutachi 1st week (Released Sept.17): out of top 20 Beginner 1st week (Released Oct.27): #17 I guess they are getting in the market little by little |
According to Stage48 there is going to be a Meet the Fans session in Singapore. Is anyone going to go?
and Sayaka being gorgeous etc on Shibuya Deep A |

BTW the new single is reciving low promotion... |
I love you Mayuchi <3
|
|
I'm saying that the covers (and a little, the promo pic) for this single might be the ugliest and the most unusual I've ever seen...
And in the lead group, no Tomomi Itano? |
^ I say that the covers this time are 'different' than usual but they are not ugly! I love them all ^_^ (Except for the theater ver. which is a bit ugly)
You can watch the new pv HERE! :heart |
AWWW it's super cute!!!!!!!
I loved it!! And the horse :D |
Double post but it's news:
Quote:
|
I'm really lookin' forward to seeing their new single tear up the charts :laugh
|
Quote:
|
oooo the RIVER single actually has pure instrumentals with no karaoke!! :heart
My new fave song is Hikoukigumo! I love it! |
I like Chance no Junban. The PV is a bit plain but I like how they used the Janken footage in the beginning.
|
I love the new Senbatsu, I'd love another PV from them :heart :heart
|
Anything with Mayumi is good! I was so happy to see she had gotten first place in the Janken tournament. I'm not too fond of Chance no Junban at first listen but I'll probably listen to it more as time goes on. Everytime AKB releases a single I find myself listening to it over and over XD I agree with visionfactory, this is a great senbatsu. It's well balanced between front girls and girls who don't get the spotlight much, I think.

|
^they look trash up to me....
ewwwww! |
Well there's no way it's going to sell as much as Beginner. Not a bad song though, just seems pretty bland after that amazingness. Sorta half-fug senbatsu in the PV too, hate to say :(
|
is it just me or Seifuku wa Jamawosuru is really about teenage prostitution?
|
Read the lyrics? I don't know how they could be any more obvious about it.
|
Wheres my Itano Tomomi???=(
|
^She's not in Senbatsu this time.
|
^ HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!
|
^well this round of senbatsu wasn't decide by fans.
The members played 'Scissors-Paper-Stone'... and she lost. even atsuko end up as 15th, the other main 5 are gone from the list. |
LOL I thought people already knew about the Janken contest!!!
A question who is the girl on the right bottom on the Beginner theatre version cover?? http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/851...nertheater.jpg |
That's not fair...Itano is too cute...but a chance to the other girls can be great
|
Quote:
|
Thank youuuuu! And wow she looks different from her wiki picture!!
|
Quote:
|
I don't think that song it's about teenage prostitution, it's just about a girl that fell in love after school and want to get sex but they can't because they are in the street ......
edit: Just sharing this awesome PV by SDN48 "Sado e Wataru" |
I like the song better than GAGAGA.
|
Quote:
|
For the 20th single I think they are coming back to regular "popularity" senbatsu
|
Quote:
At least Chance no Junban is NOT the 20th single!!! |
Do I see other Tomochin fans here as well? :luv2 She's my #2 after Maririn, luv her sfm. :heart

Loved the AKBingo performance!!
Mayuchi kawaiii!!!! I love her hat!! |
^^ It's not that surprising. Tomochin is one of the most recognizable AKB members because of her modeling and variety show activities. Same for Mariko Shinoda. They both tend to rank high in polls/lists like that.

I hope it does well!! I was just about to buy it from CDJ but the first press was all sold out D: I'll just get it from Dora I guess. |
Whoa, they might be running HOT once again to end the year!!!
|
lol yeah, first press has been sold out for a couple of weeks now. Dora will have it for sure though. XD
I can't recall Beginner's NINKI but I think it was around the same amount or a little higher? Anyway, so far so good. I'm dying to know the shipment numbers though. |
their nikki rating is like 9 times the others! hahahah.
