Another group? But I see that this time without Theater....but like REALLY - HOW MANY MORE!

AKI-P IS OBSESSED!!!!!!! HE NEEDS TO GO TO IDOLS ANONYMOUS!!!

I don't get it. Why......it's a disaster waiting to happen. I don't like the idea that this pseudo-rivalry can potentially tear down everything AKB has accomplished, especially since that old bastard holds all the power in his hands. :no Way to epitomize greed. What about the group?

maybe its just another weird way to promote AKB
like - SCANDAL THEY ARE RIVALS!

AKB rival group's leader is Eguchi Aimi and all the other members are CG too

^ :roflmao

I kind of wish that were true, although all hopes of that are kind of out the window since they're actually holding auditions for these girls and there's even an application form on their website. Or maybe it's all just to make it appear legit ;)

Yeah, right... Get real...

I'm hoping that this is just some deal Aki-P made so we can finally have the lost stages on CD.

Huh? You quoted two people saying totally different things and tell both of them to get real? Righttt...

It's okay, he never makes any sense.

Anyway, I don't understand why they need another group. Why can't NMB48 or HTK48 or SKE48 (who is doing super well) be their rivals?

talking about NMB48, here is the pv for their debut single

sorry if this was already posted

^ Thanks! I only saw part of it before. I'm actually pretty impressed. The video's cool (albeit kind of low budget), but the song's good. It's very SKE, but that's not a bad thing.

Seriously. Why not just make SKE the "official rivals" and call it a day? Then again, if they did that, I guess the Matsui's couldn't be in any more AKB singles. I've never even heard of HTK though; who are they?

But SKE is the original sister group of AKB. It wouldn't make sense to just declare them rivals. Plus the point of this '46' group being rivals is because they will both be based in Tokyo and competing against each other directly.
HKT48 is a new group in Fukuoka that's having auditions right now.

^ Ahhh, gotcha. That makes sense then. Btw, my copy of AKB ga Ippai on Blu-Ray arrived yesterday. I absolutely flipped my **** when I saw it in the mailbox. I got Yuko, Kojiharu, and Sae's photos. The whole package is SO amazingly cool/gorgeous/I can't handle it. I can take pictures if anyone wants to see.

^Yes pics please!!!
I want mine too!!!!!!!! ;______________;
I haven't even got my album :(
