I plan on getting the game but not the box at the moment. I do want the posters and PSP themes though but I have to save up for some things so I might just end up getting the stuff I want of Yahoo Japan Auctions or something.

They better not ruin Himawari or Lay Down.

I think they'll do okay.

So many calender related goodies. Awesome. A Sayaka calender for my desk and my wall? Works for me. The Janken tournament is tomorrow finally.

[Ranma Matsuri]

^They'll do awesome.

I know the feeling. I want Nakayan to make senbatsu so much but the girl has no competitive spirit at all. She'll practically give her opponent the win. I'm glad she's content with her little popularity and is not one of those girls who want it badly but can't catch a break but still. >__>

So interesting news regarding the single:

This is the (almost) complete UG line-up:

- Members (20):
Team A (3): Ota · Maeda Ami · Iwasa · Nakagawa
Team K (2): Kikuchi · Fujie
Team B (4): Komori · Sato S · Ishida · Miyazaki
Team 4 (5): Oba · Shimazaki · Yamauchi · Ichikawa · Iriyama · Abe
Team S (1): Yagami
Team KII (1): Tayanagi
Team E (1): Kimoto


Yay! Fresh Lemon.

The other UG line up previously posted with Sayaka, Sato S, and Umeda is actually Yurigumi (Lily Team) instead of DIVA as speculated. Aside from those three, the line-up is still mostly unknown though so forget about the rest of the list that was posted (this was why I didn't want to post it ).

The previously unknown B-side will be done by Baragumi (Rose Team) The line-up is:

Team A (4): Oya · Nakaya · Matsubara · Nakata
Team K (5): Nakatsuka · Nonaka · Uchida · Yonezawa · Tanabe
Team B (5): Suzuki S · Hirajima · Kobayashi K · Suzuki M · Chikano
Team 4 (4): Nagao · Takeuchi · Shimada · Nakamata

Still don't know if the Theater version will have an exclusive B-side. Pretty sure it will but nothing as popped up about it yet.

I am kind lost so we got already

- Kaze...
- undergirls song
- baragumi
- Yurigumi
- possible teather bisde

also if someone dont remeber those name was used before but it didnt work out

On November 4th, 2006, it was announced that the members of Akihabara48 would be rearranged into two groups: Baragumi ('rose group') and Yurigumi ('lily group'). No more official announcements have been made on this matter since then, and it is widely believed that this idea has been scrapped.

The two groups are as follows (☆ denotes a girl who has changed teams or graduated since the announcement was made):

Baragumi

Team A: Hirajima Natsumi☆, Kojima Haruna, Komatani Hitomi☆, Masuyama Kayano☆, Minegishi Minami, Oshima Mai☆, Takahashi Minami, Urano Kazumi☆, Watanabe Shiho☆.
Team K: Akimoto Sayaka, Imai Yu☆, Kasai Tomomi, Kobayashi Kana, Matsubara Natsumi, Noro Kayo☆, Ohori Megumi☆, Ono Erena.

Yurigumi

Team A: Hoshino Michiru☆, Itano Tomomi, Kawasaki Nozomi☆, Maeda Atsuko, Nakanishi Rina☆, Narita Risa☆, Ohe Tomomi☆, Sato Yukari☆, Shinoda Mariko, Tojima Hana☆.
Team K: Hayano Kaoru☆, Masuda Yuka, Miyazawa Sae, Oku Manami, Oshima Yuko, Sato Natsuki, Takada Ayana☆, Umeda Ayaka.

Yep, that's basically it.

I'm glad they changed the concept since putting frontgirls in the Gumi are the reason I don't like SKE and NMB's Aka/Shirogumi. The B-sides are the only chance girls who can't possibly make senbatsu have to shine. Putting in senbatsu members automatically eats up all the focus and it's not like we don't see enough of them in the main A-side and during promotion.

The tournament's starting in a few hours... looking at the brackets, some major upsets and crazy shizz is gonna go down.

[OogoeDiamond]

please let Takamina Lead....

[jeffycue]

goodluck Nacchan!!! im hoping to see you in Janken Senbatsu!!! WOOT WOOT!!

[Ranma Matsuri]

^She got out in the first round. ;___;

The tournament is moving way too fast for me to update the results consistently but I'll be sure to post the final results as soon as it's done (if Polyrhythm or someone else doesn't beat me to it).

[LacusClyne]

First round: acchan lose to sayaka. Mayuyu won, Yukirin lose, Takamina just lose to nyan nyan, mariko won,

I'm at the cinema watching the tournament now

[LacusClyne]

Michan won first round, Takamina was wearing miichan's face mask and cheering for her!

Sae lose to jurina

[LacusClyne]

Tomochin n yuko had lose first round.

[OogoeDiamond]

OMG Mariko is only front girl left now

[LacusClyne]

2nd round,
Sayaka, Umeda, Chiyuu, Sumirei, nyan nyan, won

Mayuyu loses to mizuki

[LacusClyne]

Ah! Michan won jurina!

[LacusClyne]

Michan, mariko, sayaka, Umeda got into top 8

I'll be rooting for mariko to get center now!!!

[LacusClyne]

Center: mariko!!!!!!!

[Ranma Matsuri]

I wasn't even going to buy this single but Mariko FINALLY gets her much deserved center position. Have to buy it. All versions if I can. This is too good to be true.

[dreamland2.0]

The results are ok.
Mizuki is my only oshi in this and she's not even AKB

[Ranma Matsuri]

Single would have been perfect for me had Lemon, Mayuyu, and Nacchan made it but have to agree the overall senbatsu is a lot more underwhelming than last year's. :-/ Mariko and Miichan are the only positions I'm happy about.

Oh and the single drops December 7th.

The KazeFu PV was shown so we'll probably get low quality cams of it soon.

[Bigtop]

Congratulations to all the girls! Quite surprised that Sayaka's in the Senbatsu - but the only way to do that was to defeat Acchan... (Same goes for Kitarie, but needs to defeat Tomochin...) ( and )
