^They are definitely not changing labels. Why would King records EVER let them go. :laugh
Plus KKS are part of the group and it has nothing to do with the record label. And SKE is a sister group and under some other record company.

so it wont be any of Teams on A nation? Just Kankyusei?

Anyway I love covers but its like BABY BABY BABY episode 3 (2nd was Ponytail) And also I dont know why they but One pictuire of A-chan and Tomochin in two covers...its looks tacky on the second one (when they ae not alone)

still again they are trying to get men to buy single "BUY OUR SINGLE WE ARE IN BIKINIS"

AKB48 at a-nation. Awesome. :D

I'm liking the covers.

They still have quality songs I think but some of the older stage songs are the best.

I NEED THE REGULAR TYPE A IN MY LIFE RITE NOW. TOMOCHIN, ACCHAN, MARIKO AND MAYUYU?!!! THAT'S LIKE MAH TOP 4 ATM ONE COVER THAT RARELY HAPPENS FFFFFUUUU YES! ;___;

It does seem like putting them all under one label is a better idea but like dreamland said, it's actually better for both the group and management.

Think about it: While the labels do get a share of profits, they have to take care of all the promotion, the distribution, basically does all the work and all AKS has to do is kick back, make money and get free promotion for the main group. Plus, having all the subgroups scattered at different labels and the individual girls at different agencies ensures that the girls get the most exposure and attention they can get which leads to those million selling singles. Hello!Project is the example of what you get when you have all your main groups under one label and have all your girls managed by one agency. Limited budgets, limited exposure, poor promotion which equals: poor sales.

Their stage songs still have AWESOME quality Mokugekisha, Itoshisa no Accel, Hoshi no mukougawa, Matenrou no Kyori, Inochi no Imi, I'm Crying, RESET, Kanojo ni Naremasu ka?, Seifuku Resistance, Dokugumo, Hoshizora no Mistake, Yume no Kane, Ai no Stripper, Arashi no Yoru ni wa, Locker Room Boy, Team B Oshi!!
So many wonderful songs!

No one knows who is going to be at a-nation.
Did you see bikinis for Beginner or Sakura no ki ni narou? Nope and they sold a million. Plus they don't need to make people want to buy it, it's election time and everyone's going to buy it anyways! Though I'm buying it because the song is pure awesome.

AKB48 in a-nation, interesting !!!!
and the covers are good, they know that a cover with girls in bikini is gonna be succesful

I still haven't listened to any songs that are so far stage-only except for Yuuwaku no Garter (which is INCREDIBLE). Are they really that good? And I agree with you on the "they can sell even without sex appeal" thing. I mean, it certainly helps, and it's good insurance in case the public doesn't exactly fall for the song, but just look at Sakura no Shiori...that was a friggin CHOIR song and it still sold extremely well. People love this group and its members and it's obvious why <3

^I LOVEEEE their stage songs. And those that I listed are only the ones that are amazing from their most current stages. My list would be soooooo long if I listed all my faves from all the stages!
I just love them :love
And yes I so agree with your last statement!!

There's just more types to love. You can like SDN....or AKB....older, younger...ect. If you have a group like Morning Moosemaid or something its all the same. Standard cookie cutter idol.

SDN48 concert! sefkjeshkrlsdfklsd omg you guys are so lucky T_T

Wow that is really cool!! You are so lucky Lacus!!

Lucky! Twice a month? That's cool.

have anyone seen
[2008.11.20] Live DVD wa Derudaroukedo, Yappari Iki ni Kagiruze! AKB48 Natsu Matsuri (ライブDVDは出るだろうけど、やっぱり生に限るぜ! AKB48夏祭り)
or

[2008.12.27] AKB48 Maseka, Kono Concert no Ongen wa Ryuushutsushinai yo ne? AKB48 まさか、このコンサートの音源は流出しないよね?)

cause I can fidn those neither on JPS AKB online or H!O (Maybe I am just wrong serching casue I am trying whole title...

I don't know about downloading but both are on Youku. For the first one just search は出るだろうけど、やっぱり生に限るぜ! and the second one you can put the whole title. Maybe only searching part of the title would help you find it at H!O and JPS.

So there was an announcement at the handshake event in Nagoya about a Stage revival.

Apparently it's going to be at Tokyo Dome Hall which used to be known as JCB hall. A, K, B, S and SDN stages are supposed to be performed.
