AKB48: Welcome to Japan's Most Sophisticated Show (3rd thread)
 
It's thread 3! Who knew we would get this far? Only 2 posts left in the other thread so I thought it was time for a new one.

JURINA AGAIN? RLY? give us a break
nice to see NMB though

dreamland2.0 18th April 2011 05:07 PM

I think it's a really awesome senbatsu!!
I'm so happy for Yuka, Suu-chan, Ayarin, Myao, Asuka, Mika!!
And I've gotten over Jurina and Rena in AKB senbatsu. It's not going to change xD
Plus I actually like them now so I don't mind seeing them :)

Polyrhythm 18th April 2011 06:29 PM

I can get over Jurina but I'll never get over Matsui R. eww. Thank god for Myao and all the other underrepresented girls...nothing against the NMB girls at all...but its not like I really care about them either. The center girl is sort of scary looking and I don't get the appeal.

OogoeDiamond 19th April 2011 07:16 AM

I dont really like Jurina thats why I am mad xD

anyway anyone knows why Takamina wasnt in Chance no Junban senbatsu (she was in every senbatsu since debiut but not in this...why?

Amrai-chan 19th April 2011 10:16 AM

I don't like having Jurina and Rena in senbatsu much either now that SKE has their own thing. NMB I don't mind because they are just starting.

I'm starting to like SKE but I already have AKB and SDN. If I start liking SKE more I'll have a lot of names to learn.

Takamina was not in the senbatsu for Chance no Junban because the senbatsu for that single were chosen by a Janken tournament and she lost early in the tournament.

Also from the last thread

Maybe.

Speaking of Michiru


OogoeDiamond 19th April 2011 11:50 AM

Is Janken this Rock Paper Scisors tournament from PV?

about michiru she should be back to AKB!!

dreamland2.0 19th April 2011 04:20 PM

^Yes. That's why a lot of the girls that have never been in Senbatsu before are in Chance no Junban. You can look up all about it on the Satge48 wiki, I think they have a whole page dedicated to it! My oshi is centre :heart

OogoeDiamond 19th April 2011 06:37 PM

it nice to include girls that never was in senbatsu but It must be annoying for girls to see that something as stupid as Rock Paper Scisors is going to decide

Polyrhythm 19th April 2011 07:45 PM

I don't know. Chance to Junban was a totally boring, generic release, but at least it gave some of the front girls a chance to take a short break...and some totally ignored girls like Kobayashi and Maeda Ami to to shine. I don't think I ever saw acchan promiting that single lol...even though she made senbatsu. I always look in the performances and I was like....damn...Sae....Sae....Sae was practically part of that senbatsu.

dreamland2.0 19th April 2011 07:57 PM

^YES AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SINGLE!
Kurumi to Dialogue and ALIVE were hardly generic...

Ranma Matsuri 20th April 2011 05:08 AM

HELLLOOOOO 3rd thread! And the first post is more complete too! 8D But I can't help but notice only two girls have summaries... would you like me to type up the rest for you?... well, maybe just Mariko, Tomochin, Maeda and Miichan's, the rest can stay blank for all I care XD :innocent

Now bout that senbatsu... *sigh* I like NMB48 (well... actually mostly Jonishi Kei :heart who I'm in L-O-V-E with) but yeah, not too happy about them being tacked onto senbatsu along with SKE. It would have been much better if the NMB girls had replaced W Matsui. :no
Spoiler:
Have to agree with Polyrhythm on Yamamoto Sayaka as well. Maybe it's because she's not appealing to me, but I don't see her current top position lasting long once NMB starts releasing and truly get in the public eye. I can easily see Mirukii and some of the other pushed NMB girls surpassing her in Mixi ratings down the road.


Anyway, I'd like to have another single like CnJ with an irregular senbatsu but with more effort behind it. It seemed obvious they didn't care much for pushing the CnJ senbatsu with the horrid covers, giving them a sub-par song after the epicness of Beginner, giving the RS a song ANYWAY ruining the point of the whole thing, and even giving their PV a B-side budget while the actual B-side's had A-side budgets. -__- The Team songs were amazing so there was no reason for the A-side to have not been just as good or better.

Amrai-chan 20th April 2011 05:51 AM

Sure if you want. :)

That would help a lot.

I've been meaning to type up something for the girls even if it's just one sentence *looks at Yukirins* but I keep ending up having something to do and haven't got around to it.

I'll try and work on it tonight.

I liked Chance no Junban. I like ALIVE the most but the rest was good too.

dreamland2.0 20th April 2011 05:55 AM

Well it's basically like Chance no Junban was a b-side type song (like Kimi no koto, Boku dake, Guuzen no, etc.) And they had the more interesting songs for B-sides. Honestly I think they played it safe because there were ~unknowns~ in the senbatsu. And Japanese people seem to like cutesy songs.
Anyways enough about CnJ that's so last year who's excited for the awesomeness that is Everyday, Kachusha!!! :D :D :D I AM!

I'm just starting to get into SKE, I don't think I'll check out NMB for a while. I like more 'grown up' singers. NMB is too young.

All you have to put for Yuko and Sae is:
THEY ARE AWESOME.

OogoeDiamond 20th April 2011 07:18 PM

still I have kind of feeling that elections and Janken tournament was set up by menagement from the first moment

like they made senbatsu erlier and then give people mirage that U CAN DECIDE

Polyrhythm 20th April 2011 09:24 PM

^Actually, the point wasn't for people to choose. That's the purpose of the regular senbatsu elections. And c'mon...you think they would set it up? If I was going to rig the tournament I'd make sure as hell that Ishida would never get into the #2 spot. I would also pick someone marketable for center like Itano.

OogoeDiamond 20th April 2011 09:56 PM

All I am saying right know is about what AKB staff can do - I am not talking they are doing it but its a possiblity since with all about sucess and money...

about Janken
they could contro it by for example - girls know who they are dealing with and who has to win and then talk about what they are going to show (rock paper scisorrs) after that its only about acting "OMG I"M SO HAPPY I HAVE WON" "OH NO I FAIL"
I very doubt that they can put success of a single and money on something as usunuieal as Rock Paper Scissors
If they real want to create a chance for non regular senbatsu game they should make a list of girls who by "in senbatsu activy and choose the ones with the less number of it.



about election
they can create senbatsu puting in popular girls which make ellection looks real and popular girls = single popularity= Money and then making the election...they can also do not tell girls to create real emotion reaction = I LIKE THEM = Money

Then the give people chance to vote = people feel special casue they have to decide about something devine like "which girl is going to be in senbatsu" something that unitl now was only for staff

Everyone have better attachment to bank when you give him a mirage of "I'm in too"

I love AKB - but I have some doubts when it comes to realness of some stuff that we see in cd dvds

and its not about AKB its about showbusiness all over the world

visionfactory 20th April 2011 10:00 PM

lol I don't think Janken was set up

by the way........... Maeda Atsuko is having her debut single! :D

I'm like the happiest person of earth, I wonder which kind of song they are gonna give her? A cute song or a cool song? I can't wait!!

OogoeDiamond 20th April 2011 10:14 PM

lol I was pretty sure that she will be next

dreamland2.0 20th April 2011 10:29 PM

I want to hit something because of the whole DiVA situation. If those girls graduate I will probably cry myself to death.

And yay for Acchan!! I :heart you girl!
And LOL I doubt they actually wanted Mayuchi for Janken centre. She's one of the most unpopular girls. But HAHA they got her anyways! :shimmy

lol Perfect deception.

Also DiVA is apparently going to have auditions for more members.

Do not want. These 4 don't get enough promo as they should and now they want to add more people? What if the auditions aren't open to people in AKB?

If you're going to add people go with people you have already. Alot of the girls in AKB work really hard but get little to no promotion.

Why Aki-p? Why?

Acchan is going solo. I wonder what kind of songs she will get?

bondingo 21st April 2011 04:21 AM

So Acchan's finally debuting solo? I can't expect it will be anywhere near as amazing as Dear J, or even the same style of song. I'm definitely interested to see what they give her, but I don't exactly care a lot since I think she's insanely overrated. I'd rather have a Yuko solo :grumpy (or Takamina :love)

dreamland2.0 21st April 2011 04:57 AM

HAHAHAHA YUKO SOLO.
You've heard Nakinagara Hohoende right? Yuko can't sing. Though if she did an autotune song like Tomochin it wouldn't matter :-D

I LOVE YUKO BY THE WAY.

And Acchan is flawless. Though I don't think I would call her over rated because most people know that Acchan is normal and generally uninteresting. Doesn't mean some people can't like that.

I just have to say that Team Z is so awesome :luv2

bondingo 21st April 2011 05:35 AM

Hahaha, well I just listened to it for the first time after you mentioning it. I mean, it wasn't great, but I definitely didn't think she sounded bad (especially for an idol). I've always thought Acchan was a pretty bad singer after hearing her part in Skirt, Hirari. She sounds great in Sakura no ki ni Narou but it's hardly a vocally demanding song.

You don't think her fans think she's gorgeous and has this great personality and all though? If not for that then I'm not sure why she's so popular. Yuko at least is funny, Tomochin has that whole sassy ***** thing going on, and so on. I guess I just don't see what about Acchan is so great and that's why I feel she's overrated: because there seems to be no justifiable reason for so many people to like her.

Polyrhythm 21st April 2011 06:51 AM



Makes me wish I could go back and time and become an AKB48 fan back when they cared about making quality stage songs.

Bigtop 21st April 2011 06:57 AM

Aya Kamiki did that unexpected performace few years ago too and she ended up moving to Avex....I hope thats not the deal with AKB

Ranma Matsuri 21st April 2011 09:59 AM

^It's nothing like that at all. All of the AKB48 subunits are signed with different labels (something H!P needs to seriously take note of) DiVA and French Kiss are both signed with Avex so it wouldn't be surprising at all to see them there.

Believe it or not, Acchan's total plainness is EXACTLY why her fans love her. XD Idols are usually these beautiful girls with big personalities that seem a bit untouchable so the very existence of Acchan's idol career goes against that long standing idea. It's.... refreshing in a weird way. I personally like her and think she's gorgeous but I can definitely see where you're coming from as I'm usually a fan of the types you've mentioned and would normally completely ignore someone like Maeda.

Not too long ago I read a post on S48 that a member of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE was approached by this girl for an autograph and he didn't realize until later that it was Atsuko Maeda. I mean, how many frontgirls of the most popular group in their country can get away with that? :roflmao

Bigtop 21st April 2011 02:21 PM

Well, I did not know that French Kiss is using Avex...

OogoeDiamond 21st April 2011 03:40 PM

^ I wonder why units are in diffrent labels I mean to be honest - more labels = more people to split money
And reason "they are giving girls some independance" dont work for me cause probably- AKB staff rules it all-

dreamland2.0 21st April 2011 03:59 PM

^Nothing to do with independence. They are still manged by AKS and they still have their separate companies to represent them. They have different recording labels because it means someone else to pay the bills. xD

Anyways a-nation??? Awesome!!

Have y'all seen the covers for Everyday?

How interesting. I've never really thought about it that way. I mean, even if she is plain, I've still always thought she was a very pretty girl, so I guess it still surprises me for her to be thought of as being so plain (since there are plenty of pretty girls with blah personalities that I feel people still find unapproachable). That's really cute that guy didn't even recognize her though.

Also, DDFHGNXBFSGDFFV THOSE COVERS!!! Even if they are just Ponyshu 2.0 (which the song is already sorta), I still totally love them! I seriously love them all, so I almost don't care which one I get. I usually choose which version of the single to get by the B-side (and PV) I prefer, so now it will be based on that entirely and not even on the cover. Good to know :D

Polyrhythm 21st April 2011 06:54 PM

I like all the covers cept the obvious (hope the theater version sells like 2 copies). And noooooooooooo. God no. They'd better not let career-killer #1 touch AKB48. Maybe send the research students and the useless subgroups like SKE to them, yes, but not the main group.

dreamland2.0 21st April 2011 10:08 PM

^They are definitely not changing labels. Why would King records EVER let them go. :laugh
Plus KKS are part of the group and it has nothing to do with the record label. And SKE is a sister group and under some other record company.

OogoeDiamond 21st April 2011 10:17 PM

so it wont be any of Teams on A nation? Just Kankyusei?

Anyway I love covers but its like BABY BABY BABY episode 3 (2nd was Ponytail) And also I dont know why they but One pictuire of A-chan and Tomochin in two covers...its looks tacky on the second one (when they ae not alone)

still again they are trying to get men to buy single "BUY OUR SINGLE WE ARE IN BIKINIS"

Amrai-chan 21st April 2011 10:53 PM

AKB48 at a-nation. Awesome. :D

I'm liking the covers.

They still have quality songs I think but some of the older stage songs are the best.

I NEED THE REGULAR TYPE A IN MY LIFE RITE NOW. TOMOCHIN, ACCHAN, MARIKO AND MAYUYU?!!! THAT'S LIKE MAH TOP 4 ATM ONE COVER THAT RARELY HAPPENS FFFFFUUUU YES! ;___;

It does seem like putting them all under one label is a better idea but like dreamland said, it's actually better for both the group and management.

Think about it: While the labels do get a share of profits, they have to take care of all the promotion, the distribution, basically does all the work and all AKS has to do is kick back, make money and get free promotion for the main group. Plus, having all the subgroups scattered at different labels and the individual girls at different agencies ensures that the girls get the most exposure and attention they can get which leads to those million selling singles. Hello!Project is the example of what you get when you have all your main groups under one label and have all your girls managed by one agency. Limited budgets, limited exposure, poor promotion which equals: poor sales.

dreamland2.0 22nd April 2011 01:49 AM

Their stage songs still have AWESOME quality Mokugekisha, Itoshisa no Accel, Hoshi no mukougawa, Matenrou no Kyori, Inochi no Imi, I'm Crying, RESET, Kanojo ni Naremasu ka?, Seifuku Resistance, Dokugumo, Hoshizora no Mistake, Yume no Kane, Ai no Stripper, Arashi no Yoru ni wa, Locker Room Boy, Team B Oshi!!
So many wonderful songs!

still again they are trying to get men to buy single "BUY OUR SINGLE WE ARE IN BIKINIS"

No one knows who is going to be at a-nation.
Did you see bikinis for Beginner or Sakura no ki ni narou? Nope and they sold a million. Plus they don't need to make people want to buy it, it's election time and everyone's going to buy it anyways! Though I'm buying it because the song is pure awesome.

adantatu2 22nd April 2011 04:23 AM

AKB48 in a-nation, interesting !!!!
and the covers are good, they know that a cover with girls in bikini is gonna be succesful

I still haven't listened to any songs that are so far stage-only except for Yuuwaku no Garter (which is INCREDIBLE). Are they really that good? And I agree with you on the "they can sell even without sex appeal" thing. I mean, it certainly helps, and it's good insurance in case the public doesn't exactly fall for the song, but just look at Sakura no Shiori...that was a friggin CHOIR song and it still sold extremely well. People love this group and its members and it's obvious why <3

dreamland2.0 22nd April 2011 07:39 AM

^I LOVEEEE their stage songs. And those that I listed are only the ones that are amazing from their most current stages. My list would be soooooo long if I listed all my faves from all the stages!
I just love them :love
And yes I so agree with your last statement!!

Polyrhythm 22nd April 2011 08:07 AM

There's just more types to love. You can like SDN....or AKB....older, younger...ect. If you have a group like Morning Moosemaid or something its all the same. Standard cookie cutter idol.

Wow that is really cool!! You are so lucky Lacus!!

LacusClyne 22nd April 2011 06:15 PM

^yup!!!!!! but, you can save and come here too. it's cheaper coming to singapore then japan. hahaha~ i'll be your tour guide. (^-^)
---------------------------------------------

woots~ twice a month!!!! i have to keep rereading that part to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks with me. OMG!!!! so i could just go see the girls when i'm free, yay

i doubt i can sleep tonight. (>_<)

SERIOUSLY, i was making some really crazy wishes during the start of this year, and know that 99.99% they won't come true, but errrrr. ONE WISH JUST CAME TRUE!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!

wish 1: AKB48 having theatre performance in singapore every month, i can go there whenever i'm free, make more friends and everyone go and see AKB48 together.
Then, AKB8 will hit the local news and GET MORE FANS, kick assing those kpop fans in singapore.
seriously, i am sick of seeing lots and lots of kpop artist stuff/unofficial goodies in any other shops, even small kids are into kpop, it's too much, i want jpop to dominate back again. So yeah, it will be great to finally see more jpop around.

now all i need is ayu or kuu to announce a concert in singapore this year and my craziest wishes for THIS YEAR is complete.

Amrai-chan 23rd April 2011 05:22 AM

Lucky! Twice a month? That's cool.

OogoeDiamond 23rd April 2011 10:41 PM

or

Amrai-chan 24th April 2011 07:46 AM

I don't know about downloading but both are on Youku. For the first one just search は出るだろうけど、やっぱり生に限るぜ! and the second one you can put the whole title. Maybe only searching part of the title would help you find it at H!O and JPS.

So there was an announcement at the handshake event in Nagoya about a Stage revival.

Apparently it's going to be at Tokyo Dome Hall which used to be known as JCB hall. A, K, B, S and SDN stages are supposed to be performed.

does anyone knows when is the deadline to cast our votes for the election?

i had my cd orderd with some other stuff that will be shipped 1 week later, so i wonder if by the time i get my cd, the election had ended... (T_T)
i want acchan to be number 1 again

dreamland2.0 24th April 2011 06:07 PM

^The election ends on June 8th I think, the day the album comes out.
And yay Acchan fan :hi5

Polyrhythm 24th April 2011 06:32 PM

How can acchan NOT be #1....she is on 3 out of this single's 5 covers....the new song is a theme song for a drama she stars in....she has a solo song that is a theme song in the new drama she stars in.

dreamland2.0 24th April 2011 07:37 PM

^Because Yuko fans are crazy? :laugh

Ranma Matsuri 24th April 2011 10:52 PM

Speaking of Acchan....


Preview of her new single "Flower" @ 00:31:



Boring title but I love summer ballads and this one sounds pretty good.

Polyrhythm 25th April 2011 02:22 AM

Sweet ballad for sweet acchan....ballads are kinda boring when done by idols....but I'd take that over another ear-splitting attempt at pop by Itano....any day...

if I had to choose beetwen A chan and Yuko I choose Yuko because A chan is kinda overexposed and irritanting...

Amrai-chan 25th April 2011 11:26 AM

The song suits her. I want to hear the whole thing.

You know what would be interesting?

If Mariko won the senbatsu election instead of Acchan or Yuko.

jeffycue 25th April 2011 11:46 AM

^^ LoL. i read the last line first and was shocked. hahaha. i used to love mariko but i got bored with her. xD

dreamland2.0 25th April 2011 12:31 PM

^
^I actually want that to happen!! I love Acchan and Yuko both, but I would love for a Mariko centre song!!
Everyday's PV is so neat :vbhappy

visionfactory 25th April 2011 08:54 PM

Thx Ranma Matsuri

I hope it's just for the chorus that this man is singing along with Acchan

THANK YOU.

Mariko in center also sounds totally amazing.

Ranma Matsuri 25th April 2011 10:30 PM

Agree with the majority, a Maririn centre would be sweet. The song would probably be genki and spunky and the PV something like Namida Surprise... colorful and humorous to fit her personality. :luv2

OogoeDiamond 25th April 2011 10:52 PM

Mariko has a creepy smile

reminds me of http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ld...aejqo1_250.jpg
Minegishi or Kojima would be my types ;d

anyway dont you think it would be wonderful to have a rock a side (Like Maria or Blue Rose with Akimoto) on Center?

Amrai-chan 26th April 2011 01:05 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the idea. If Mariko were to be center now would be the time and

lol I haven't paid much attention to her smile. A rock song something like MARIA or Blue rose I would love that.

Ranma Matsuri 26th April 2011 01:16 AM

^^NO WAY! Maririn has a quirky and playful smile... unlike that creepy PGSM chick (she always gave me the creeps, perfect choice for a TV villian). >____>

Amrai-chan 26th April 2011 01:55 AM

THAT'S where she's from. I was trying to place her because she looked familiar but I couldn't think of where she was from. I always block her out I guess.

I started watching an SKE concert SKE48 汗の量はハンパじゃない. 20 minutes in and I hear a song I like.

dreamland2.0 26th April 2011 02:05 AM

I've never listened to SKE's stage songs yet, but I love all their singles so far!! They are consistent with the catchy!

The next A-side style will definitely be determined by who wins, as Iiwake fit Acchan and Hebirote fit Yuko. If Tomochin won maybe we would get a heavily autotuned dance track :laugh

bondingo 26th April 2011 02:09 AM

If anything Maririn looks like Ayu, not that girl.

Bigtop 26th April 2011 02:14 AM

Some more details on which of the 48 groups (along with sub-units) will appear on a-nation:

Bold indicates AKB48 or related groups (SKE48, SDN48, NMB48, AKB48 subunits, Itano Tomomi)

http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/04/a-n...concert-dates/

8/13 is in Nagoya, so obviously SKE48's making an appearance, then 8/20's in Osaka, and ditto goes for the newly-formed NMB48; the grand finale on 8/28 is really the best time AKB48 can show up in full, because it's in Tokyo and it's the final night - usually the one that people are talking about a lot, including maybe what it could be on the DVD that would be released some 2-3 months later after the concerts!

dreamland2.0 26th April 2011 02:15 AM

I think her smile is nice too.
This isn't creepy:

I bet avex will do anything to have AKB appear in the a-nation DVD so sales are higher :rolleyes

I don't know about the others but I love 1!2!3!4! Yoroshiku! I was listening to that a lot hehe. Banzai Venus is okay. lol You're probably right.

tokyoxjapanxfan 26th April 2011 03:05 AM

Nothing huge, but there's an English article from Japan Times about AKB being at a-nation this year:

http://www.japantoday.com/category/e...music-festival

Ranma Matsuri 26th April 2011 04:29 AM

Damn... I thought it'd just be AKB48 and the two groups signed to Avex but they're going to have the WHOLE family there? Crazy. It is good timing though, most of them will have had a new single out by then.

NMB48 is going to be there too? They're really getting a lot of exposure considering they don't even have an original stage or a single yet and only one team... I hope Aki-P will have at least one new song ready for them by then. Though the performance would be good, it'd be pretty lame if they just covered an AKB48 song. :-/

dreamland2.0 26th April 2011 05:02 AM

Yah I'm really curious as to what style of songs NMB will have. I'm not really interested in them until I can here some original stuff.
AKB's style is hard to judge but I like to think their songs like Oogoe, 10nen, RIVER, Everyday are there quintessential style. Poppy and fun with a hint of nostalgia? :laugh SKE's singles all have this really energetic in your face upbeatness xD. So really curious for an original NMB song.

tokyoxjapanxfan 26th April 2011 05:14 AM

It's interesting to note that they aren't currently scheduled to be at the final a-nation concert, either. The one that's usually used for the DVD...

Just kidding. Read the dates wrong xD

Ranma Matsuri 26th April 2011 05:20 AM

For some reason, I get this vibe that NMB's 'quintessential' style is going to more like the cooler and more sensual side of AKB48. I can imagine them regularly doing songs like Skirt, Hirari; RIVER, Beginner... I dunno why, maybe it's the cheetah print. :laugh

visionfactory 26th April 2011 07:56 AM

About the a-nation thing, I just hope AKB don't eat the whole setlist in the DVD, leave some love for the others artists too!

My nightmare a-nation DVD tracklisting:
01. AKB48
02. NMB48
03. SKE48
04. SDN48
05. Tomomi Itano
06. ayumi hamasaki
07. ayumi hamasaki
08. ayumi hamasaki
09. ayumi hamasaki
10. ayumi hamasaki
11. Other artists medley :tired

OogoeDiamond 26th April 2011 10:05 AM

In most cases full concert was filmed on last day...artist who did not perform on that day have a seperate bonus perfomances on disc 2

Thanks.

As for NMB from the clips I've seen they did good with A3. They may be singing AKB songs but at least it wasn't A1 again. Party Hajimaru yo has been done enough lol. A lot of people were worried at first because A3 has the song Rider which is dedicated to a fan who passed away but it seems they've done justice to the song.

Their version of Bird is quite good. The girl who's in Takamina's place does a good job I think. It turns out her name is Sayaka (lol because that can be confusing people at S48 are calling her Sayamina because she's kind of like the Takamina of NMB I guess? XD)

Unfortunately it will be a while before they have their own stage. The the next Stage they are doing is Seishun Girls so that means K2 which now has me wondering about Blue rose.

Anyway I'm interested to see how they sound with original songs too because they seem to have potential.

Also I updated the members section in the first post. :)

OogoeDiamond 26th April 2011 12:41 PM

I wonder how will they handle Namida Uri no Shojo and Seifuku...

dreamland2.0 26th April 2011 02:22 PM

That's the unit I wanted to see most... my NMB48 oshi centers in it and it has a bunch of other girls I like but there seems to be no sign of a LOD ever happening. ._.

I have just one thought for NMB doing K2... I NEED KEICCHI IN BLUE ROSE. That is all. :innocent

A LOD would be nice.

Hi there tribute to other PVs. Also Bikinis.

Edit: So I have Sae and Sayaka as my computer wallpaper. My boyfriend saw and is like what's with this explain it to me please?

So I want to introduce him to AKB but he likes John Mayer and James Taylor and such. He does like some rock music.

I don't know which song to start with any ideas?

bondingo 27th April 2011 11:14 PM

OMG I LOVE IT! The dancing parts and the closeups are amazing :luv2 I can't wait to buy this single. I'm really excited to see what the b-sides sound and look like too.

adantatu2 28th April 2011 01:16 AM

wow, all the family on a-nation !!
and a fight in the pv and bikinis again, it's gonna be interesting

Ranma Matsuri 28th April 2011 03:14 AM

Man, the song sounds better every time I hear and the PV looks fun and the girls so gorgeous... gah, I want to order this single now but unfortunately, other things must take priority so I'll have to wait. T-T

Hmm... that's pretty tough. Though male wota (from what I've encountered) tend to be straight guys with typically male interests and tastes it still could be tricky to get a regular guy into an idol group. It's hard to tell if he'll like the cooler stuff, the traditional or the genki/cute/childish/zany songs. I'd say just examine his music tastes and choose songs from there. When introducing anyone to a new artist, I always try to start with one or two of the artists most well known/loved songs and then a couple of things I know will suit the person's taste.

You say he likes rock music so show him some of your favorite K songs. For AKB48... hmmm, maybe something along the lines of Iiwake Maybe or Beginner though it sounds like he might be more impressed by their stage work. Someone else feel free to step in and be of more help. lol

dreamland2.0 28th April 2011 04:21 AM

^Haha I was right! It's because you post similiar things at the same time on here and on there xD And can I ask, is it Tomochin in your sig there? Because it looks sort of like Mariko too. I've always stared at your sig trying to figure it out :laugh

@bondingo: the b-sides are also around on youtube you can hear them. Yankee Soul is a Majisuka song again and Hito no Chikara is very laid back.
