the AKB48 thread

[Mirrorcle Monster]

If i were Sayaka i would start running....those japanese fans are just crazy.
I haven't listened the song yet...i will wait to a full HQ version

[visionfactory]

I was singing along to Beginner and I found out what they were singing with the bit of japanese I know ^_^

Ima bokura no yume miteru ka
Mirai wo shinjite iru ka

Now can you see our dreams?
Do you believe in destiny?

So apparently the original Beginner PV will be available to download on Recochoku:

"The Music Clip for the original ver. will be available for download exclusively from Recochoku, starting on 10/27 (00:00am). Several scenes of this music clip are extremely violent. People who wish to download it should buy it upon reading and agreeing to the site's warnings, at their own risk."

I got this from kasakone on Jpopsuki.
I'm sure it will appear on the internet then!

[Polyrhythm]

As I predicted....Sayaka is no longer Team K Captain. Please make Yuko the captain! Does this mean Sayaka is admitting to a little bit of guilt?

Feel really bad for her though.....it can't be completely her fault.....

^ That's good.

So I guess everyone in the thread has heard that Sayaka is stepping down as captain of Team K. I'm shocked. I wish I could give her a hug.

I've heard a few people say that if she didn't do anything why is she stepping down. She's that kind of person though. She may not have done anything but it caused trouble. I'm guessing it's because she feels like she should have known a little better than that as she's supposed to be captain and set an example so she's starting from nothing again.

She wrote a blog post. The translation is in that thread. Pretty much what I thought.

Sayaka resigns.

Sae appears.

and Takamina shows up.

I think it's pretty cool for the girls to stop what they were doing and rush over there while Sayaka was on air.

There's a topic at Stage48 for people to send support messages to Sayaka. I have to say I can't really see anyone else as Team K's captain except maybe Sae. I'm not saying that because Sayaka is one of my oshimen but because it's really hard to see anyone else as captain. It really suits Sayaka well. Fans can see that as well as the other members of AKB48.

...and all the horrible things she had to do to get to this point in her career.......o_o

I'm pretty sure "mirai" means future, but other than that you're right.

I'm so ridiculously happy to hear this.

[Ranma Matsuri]

Well, at least she wasn't fired or 'graduated'. She can always work her way back to being Captain, if she ever feels she deserves to have the responsibility again. Poor thing, that had to be a tough decision.

I would not be surprised at all if Yuko was elected to be the next captain.

Yesssss. Just when I had given up all hope. I hope someone here gets it.

Beginner live: Tomochin as center o_o Strange

[visionfactory]

I guess the live had a huge impact because according to Oricon she is the member with the profile with more visits as for now.

[dreamland2.0]

hmm the video is private ;___; what show was it on??

I agree that. It's a good thing that because of the censorship issues they can still put it for download on a site, but with some kind of parental advisory. Maybe there should also be an age limit... (18+ or 20+?)

I feel sorry about that. I'm kind of not sure how in the world can this happen, but overall, I did not even expect that to happen. I thought I was interested for AKB48 to be put into my iPod/iPhone, but with the Sayaka issue, I'm not sure if I even want it in my list. It seems overwhelming about Sayaka's actions, and it's a good thing that she has to resign because of all those issues.

My counselor at school even told me that "whenever you make a choice, there's a consequence." Sayaka's actions was quite bad, and therefore she had to pay the price. I hope the leaders and the members can learn the lessons, as well as the Hello! Project and Johnny's members, and even though we can't eliminate such scandals, doing the right actions every day (not this kind of action that Sayaka did) can reduce conflicts that can harm us and others.

1,000,000 copies of Beginner were printed.......hmmmm....I wonder how many will be shipped out.....

[visionfactory]

They're aiming for a million seller single *_*

WTF are you serious? omg so excited to see their numbers next week

[Nackar_91]

As much as I would not want the Japan no. 1 single to be a girl group's single... that is pretty impressive. Even if they don't ACTUALLY sell a million copies (which they won't!), anything higher than 700k is already HUGELY impressive.

What the!? MORE THAN ARASHI!!!??? (Well, I'm comparing AKB48's NINKI numbers to Arashi's NINKI numbers for their past few singles, although Arashi is NOT in competition with AKB48 next week...)
