[dreamland2.0]

Aww they were all so cute at the end

here's another no3b's video cause that one is private

[OogoeDiamond]

MY COPY OF BEGINNER JUST CAME IN!!!! SO HAPPY!!!! Now I have 2 AKB singles (another is Skirt Hirari)

[LacusClyne]

the AKB48 cafe in Singapore will be open this sat, and there will be a handshake event~

as for theconcert on Sunday, there will be 32 lucky winnders who gets an autograph from one of the members.

No3b's new single doesn't sound special at all...it could be another AKB stage song =/ Still the best subunit though. They just have to do something different.....

I totally agree. The video is really hot though. That alone makes me want the single, but I'm gonna wait for a PV collection before buying anything of theirs.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Acchan's solo song is so boring and random...

[dreamland2.0]

I think it's beautiful. The whole single is great!

[Polyrhythm]

^^Well, I'm a sucker for ballads and acchan has a nice voice.

[adantatu2]

i like Acchan's single, her voice sounds pretty good for a ballad

[LacusClyne]

i like Flower too, i find it a touching song. I'll get the OS press when it's out, i'm broke to get the JP press. all this releases are killing my pocket, especially with Ayu's and AKB48 PV collection in blu ray

Now even the Aimi Eguchi "fake idol" talk has reached around the world, especially CNET (a well-known technology site).

about bluray how many years it will take you think to have bluray discs with singles like now DVD's

[bondingo]

^Good question! I'm going to guess that we'll probably see at least one CD+Blu-Ray single sometime before 2012, but I think it'll be another year or so before they actually catch on. I'm hoping that, based on AKB ga Ippai, we'll be seeing more PV collections with a Blu-Ray option as well. When the inevitable no3b and Warota PV collections comes out, I'm hoping I'll be able to get them on Blu-Ray, since at least those will play on any US player.

[Not Fade Away]

This is really random...and I can't say I've listened to much of AKB48's music, but I just wanted to pop in and say that they just featured AKB48 on my local news haha. It was talking about how they have a digital member of their group comprised of all the members' features or whatever (Aimi Eguchi).

Just wanted to share that, lol. It's awesome that they're getting some coverage in the US.

[AyUta]

Is it true there's a robotic member in AKB48 now? O_O I saw them on my news channel here in Cali. Saying She's comprimised of other member's looks.


edit; oh, notfadeaway posted the same thing XD

[dreamland2.0]

Basically she is a CG creation comprised of the top members features. She was created for an advertising campaign for Glico's Aisu no Mi candy things.

[OogoeDiamond]

that annoying - people was sedning articles on Polish webistes about AIMI...like I didnt knew...
Also they said that isnt the last time they use AIMI as a face of AKB

[JackieRos]

they are even on yahoo news O.o

[dreamland2.0]

Why is this such a big deal I don't get it. And the article doesn't even have right info.
It was just something for a commercial. Just something fun to stir up the fans like AKB likes to do. LOL
uhh whatever I'm over this news.
I hope AKB ga Ippai sells well! Can't wait for my copy!
