^ yea i freak out, i saw her "movies" on j-list when i was searching akb48, and there it was, i was like, oh my is that really her or it a impostor, then i check Generaisa to she if it true .......then said "rina-chan why?" >_<

[Earth_maiden]

I'm very new to AKB48, and I'm wondering if someone knows which version of the Beginner CD+DVD single has the uncensored version of the PV on it? Thanks so much. ^_^

[OogoeDiamond]

only thing I dont like about AKB is that they usually sing from playback or half playback even though a lot of them really can sing live

I like how they have that video in a few other languages. Too bad it's a little out of date.

As far as Rina some are speculating that she may be quitting porn soon because she's apparently taking vocal lessons and because apparently she was only signed for 7 AV releases.

Flying Get's covers are out. http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2000091/full/

I don't like them very much.

yea kinda i agree, but the cool thing is they look like if they were painted
i like the theather edition cause Mii-Chan (minami minegishi) on it lol

[Polyrhythm]

Wow. They actually made covers that look cheaper than Chance no Junban's. Wow. I can't even believe that happened lol.

EDIT: Okay on second thought, Type A has that cool, old fashioned movie thing going on, but it's still sloppy as heck.

[LacusClyne]

What? So they made the limited versions with same covers... I was hoping for 5 different covers.

[Polyrhythm]

Let there be a miracle...that those are the limited covers and there will be decent, Regular edition ones. =/

They look like bootlegs I would find at my local, 99 cent Chinese CD shop -_-

Is Miichan your favorite in AKB?

Also I'm curious but is your user name related to the idol group by the name of Chu Lips?

Yeah, that's the good part. I think most of the budge probably went towards the PV.

I was looking on tokyo hive it says that Itano Tomomi revealed through her official blog that she was diagnosed with vocal cord nodules

Here is the full post

Spoiler:

On July 28th, AKB48 member Itano Tomomi revealed through her official blog that she was diagnosed with vocal cord nodules.

She wrote, “This whole month I was thinking my voice was hoarse…it seems that I have vocal cord nodules.” She added, “I am worried that it won’t heal that quickly. For now, I would like some rest.”

Vocal cord nodules are condition where the two vocal cords comes in contact and creates friction, thus making one’s voice hoarse and hinders the ability to sing in higher pitches.

The fans expressed their concern with, “Take care of yourself”, “I hope your voice is healed before any event… Take care”, “I wish for Tomochin’s speedy recovery and health (>_<) Take care…”, and “Are you ok (>_<)? I am really worried and I hope you get better soon!!”.

Add a little bit of B love here XD:

B3- Tenshi no Shippo
B3- Pajama Drive

I haven't listened to the full singles of their older material but going by the past three years, their B-sides typically aren't really that good (it's a different story for the rest of the xx48 family though). The only ones I've really LOVED are:

Team B Shonichi (Namida Surprise!)
Namida no See-saw Game (Heavy Rotation)
Lucky Seven (Heavy Rotation)
Team A Kuromi to Dialogue (Chance no Juuban)
Team K ALIVE (Chance no Juuban)
Team B Love Jump! (Chance no Juuban)

I'd also suggest checking out the sub-units and soloists as I'm a person that tends to like those more than the flagship group (it's the same for me with Morning Musume and H!P) so you might find some gems there.

haha I think the covers are pretty awesome

Miichan's pretty cool. Ai Otsuka? Oh okay.

Regarding Tomochin it seems that the entry was deleted already but there are many talking about it. I hope she was just guessing what was wrong and doesn't actually have vocal cord nodules but either way I hope she will be okay.

covers are horrible, but they rarely have decent covers imo.
they are often too sexy (bikinis and stuff) or too crowded like now lol.

I downloaded last album as well!
