^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.

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

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 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!

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?

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 (or Takamina )

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

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.

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

^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?

^ 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-

^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

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.
