[AKB48] Japan's #1 Group Just Can't Stop Making History in the 5th Thread

[visionfactory]

^No, for example AKB48 is under King Records label and their agency is AKS

[thinkingoutloud89]

AKS? do they have a link?
but thank you for the information so far.

So takamina covered acchan's migikata in Jane Doe. MY GIRLS *crying*

[YUKARI]

I also disliked KojiHaru at first. I thought "oh what a silly girl!!!" haha but now I know what she's not that silly

yes, Acchan will be my oshi forever. Haruna isn't quarter oshi as Acchan will always be for me but I still like her more than any other girl in this 48 family. And I know she'll graduate this or next year

well, I also started to like Paruru more. she also made me mad at first, but now I feel like she'll win my heart someday.

I remember I even disliked Acchan at first

[visionfactory]

How can someone dislike Acchan is that even possible

[tsumekaze_]

^lol u right!!! She had many haters tho. People used to be yuko oshi or acchan oshi, one could not like both at the same time because of the competition going on for the center spot. I love them both <3

[YUKARI]

I thought like "what is AKB48?! oh there are too many girls. and that girl in the front is so annoying, why is she always in the front, she's not even special/beautiful, she always looks so bored and annoyed. she looks like a spoilt child!"

yes, I had thoughts like that! it's just because I never liked idols and I thought AKB is another soulless pop-machine for making money. I always liked "true" singers like ayu

and I disliked Acchan because there was too much of her and I felt sympathetic to other girls. hmm... I don't remember well but I had that moment of disliking her.

but then I started to watch more tv-lives, more MSte and them appearing. and I liked "Kaze ga fuiteru" veeery much and I guess that's when my fandom started.

[visionfactory]

Does anybody know if there are live recordings of AKB48 in a-nation 2012 or 2013?

[YUKARI]

^ there were nothing released for a-nation 2012 as far as I know I guess a-nation 2013 still have chNces to be released in this spring.

[LacusClyne]

Is there anyone going for the 2shot event this year?

I had won a few for 17th May, I made a huge careless mistake so I lose the chance to see takamina... (T__T) will try to lottery again in the later resale round. Somehow I manage to win all applications for miichan, and won only 1 out of 12 applications for Kawaei.
in the previous resale round, I had like 35 applications for Takamina/Yuko/Sashi/Paruru/NyanNyan, but I failed all applications, so I will be sending more in for the next round.

These are my current slots

Slot 1: Murashige Anna
Slot 2: Takahashi Juri, Tano Yuka, Hirari
Slot 3: Miichan, Juri
Slot 5: Miichan
Slot 6: Miichan
Slot 7: Kawaei Rina
Slot 8: Miichan

^^ Thanks, that's too sad :/ I've just watch their a-nation 2011 performance and it was really entertaining to watch them performing live, do you know other concerts they sing live?

[Trinu]

LacusClyne, you're gonna see Juri?! And Tano?! AND RICCHAN?!

T________T"

I'm sorry I haven't seen any concerts except those I've attended so I can't advise you. Please ask other fans

[thinkingoutloud89]

I find their kohaku performances entertaining

their tokyo dome stelist is on youtube too, but it always confueses me (and I don't think I liek most of their b-sides, album tracks or theater album tracks)

[tsumekaze_]

There are some B sides which are better than the main tracks in my opinion... about album tracks and theater ones, yes, they suck most of the times. XD
Do you want some suggestions on b-tracks which I think are lovely?

[thinkingoutloud89]

you can suggest me anything...but i can't nail my finger on what I like so I give you examples.

I whored out: Sugar Rush, Mantaus no Sounds Good, kaze wo fuiteru, beginner and river and flying get is my jam...I also liked koisuru no fortune cookie and ue kara mariko (cause I loved mariko XD)

on the other hand: I never liked everyday kashushu and found sayonara crawl boring
I'm easily anoyed by them...the line is thin...I tend to like aitakata but only because of its trashy-ness, overall i would sign that is a really abd and annoying song lol

[tsumekaze_]

I think your taste is similar to mine so I'll just go on and suggest what I like from b singles

from beginner: boku dake no value

from so long!: Ruby, yuuhi mari

from hebiro single: namida no seesaw game

from koisuru fortune cookie: ai no imi wo kangaete mita

from suzukake nanchara (their last single): kimi to deatte boku ga kawatta

from kaze ga fuiteiru: vamos

from UZA: tsugi no season

from gingham check: nante bohemian, yume no kawa

from sayonara crawl: how come? , ikiru koto


from album: GIVE ME FIVE, romance kakurenbo, hashire! penguin, omoide no hotondo, scandalous ni ikou, sakura no hanabiratachi (maeda atsuko solo)

A singles that you should check if you haven't ^^ : bingo!, 10nen sakura, baby!baby!baby!, oogoe diamond, gingham check, eien pressure!

[thinkingoutloud89]

thank you, I will test them out these days. as seeing your list: I also love GIVE ME FIVE!! and UZA...but I hate Gingham Check as song XD

[tsumekaze_]

haha really? I like it, it's catchy! my jam lately has been koisuru fortune cookie tho! Let me know what you think about them. Start with ruby, I SO LOVE THAT ONE. uza vibes!

[YUKARI]

I've just finished watching Kouhaku Taikou Utagassen 2013. wow, that was great! Sayane amazed me once again!! I hope to see her going solo veeery soon. AKB fans now talking that Itano may be the only successful soloist out of 48 group, but I'm sure if Sayaka goes solo it'll spectacular

also, Yuko chose THAT song! it was so fun to watch because the original girl was 10 years younger (don't want to spoil it if someone doesn't know what she sang). I don't know how she did it but she looked sooo young.

and then there was announcement of 2014 spring concerts and by looking at Yuko you can say that she understood that may be her graduation would be at that big stadium.

also, what else... hmm, Ikuta-chan was a big suprise. she's so cute even Mayuyu looked average
