[AKB48] ★Welcome to Japan's Most Sophisticated Show in the 4th Thread★

[dreamland2.0]

I hope these turn out to be true as UG-A has a kick-ass line up!

So what I popped in here to ask is... is anyone here buying AKB 1/48 Sequel: Idol to Guam de Koishitara game? I have no interest in the game let alone any means to buy it atm but I want that Please Don't Auction it Box! just for all the goodies. lol

[OogoeDiamond]

I will be disapointed if there will be no TEAM songs
maybe like

and I hope there will be a song from Team 4 for the first time

[Ranma Matsuri]

There won't be for this single. The Janken single with the team songs had 3 types + theater, this single only has 2 types + Theater which equals= 5 songs. Three of which are confirmed to be the main A-side, UG A song and UG B song. That leaves two unknown B-sides which could either be MINT, Team Kenkyuusei, Team 4, or perhaps another PIGG Unit.

Since they're basically repeating all of last year's concepts though this year's Janken single has a good chance of having Team songs. Hopefully so, because ALIVE, Love Jump, and Kuromi to Dialogue were just so and it'll be great to finally hear something from Team 4.

[OogoeDiamond]

I was thinking like

A
Team A
Team B



B
Team K
Team 4

Teather
all of those + Kankyuseii (I know it give us 6 songs but we have already seen that kind of stull ) or it can be simpy

A side + Kankyuseii + Other song

or any varienty of those

[Ranma Matsuri]

Going by the typical marketing practices of Idol groups, they would definitely go with 4 versions: one for each team and the theater would have a Kenkyuusei song. Maximizing the money milked from fans. Considering shonichi was put on Namida Surprise! after B's 1st original stage and SKE's Banzai Venus had a song for KII, I'm thinking the chances of a Team 4 song being on an upcoming single are pretty good.

News for today:

Team 4 has gotten their 1st Stage! It will be a revival of H1: Boku no Taiyou and starts in October.

Preview for Kaze wa Fuiteru is out:

[bondingo]

It sounds really good. I'm definitely sad it isn't another Beginner, but it seems somewhat like RIVER and a bit mysterious. That video looks like crap though. I hope it's just showing the dance version or something.

[dreamland2.0]

Yes the song sounds really good and something a little different.
But those costumes are just not flattering at all. I hope to see other scenes in the PV.

[Polyrhythm]

I think the song is cool. Mysterious and definitely as close as they're going to get in terms of sounding like their former, DefStar sound (my personal preference). However, it just feels so.....weak? I'm talking about the instrumental. Bland. The outfits are really beautiful. They look more mature.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

There have to be other costumes because Sae Miyazawa posted a pic ofthe PV recording and they were wearing some kind of "wild" outfits

[Ranma Matsuri]

^I hope so because I reaalllly don't like them.

[bondingo]

^ Same. If there are wild outfits, I wonder if the song will change part way through too (like progress). Not really expecting that but it'd be cool.

I was really hoping for Hourinai Paradise instead of Boku no Taiyou or maybe JKT will do it! Od NMB team M

[Ranma Matsuri]

I doubt JKT will be doing any of AKB's stages. They said the group and their music will be tailored to Indonesian language and culture so I'm assuming they'll be starting from scratch rather than recycling stages/songs.

News:

SKE48's new single is titled "Oki Doki" (lol ikr?) and is scheduled to be released November 9th.

2012 Solo Calendars have been announced for the following members (so far):

Akimoto Sayaka
Itano Tomomi
Kasai Tomomi
Kashiwagi Yuki
Kojima Haruna
Kuramochi Asuka
Maeda Atsuko
Masuda Yuka
Minegishi Minami
Miyazawa Sae
Oshima Yuko
Sashihara Rino
Sato Amina
Shinoda Mariko <--------- MARIRIN FINALLY HAS A SOLO CALENDAR FFUUUU YES! ;____;
Takahashi Minami
Takajo Aki
Watanabe Mayu
Yokoyama Yui

I got Tomochin's last year and totally love it. I was thinking of getting either Miichan's or Mayuyu's this year though since their last calendars were really good and among my favorites. But now that Mariko finally has one I'm totally torn. Guess this time I'll wait til I see the covers/scans before ordering.

[dreamland2.0]

I really want Sae's this year, unless the group one has bonuses again.

[bondingo]

So many good options...I'll need to look at all of them and then decide. Naturally leaning toward Takamina, Tomochin, and Maririn's though.

[Ranma Matsuri]

More interesting news regarding the calendars: This year they will be doing one page B2 poster calendars for every single AKB48 member. Senbatsu, Team 4, Undergirls, Theaters, the whole shebang. These will be priced at around 980Y.

And the solo calendars that were previously announced are actually 2012 Tokyo Date calendars that will be 30x30 cm and can either be used on a desktop or a wall. This is important to note since calendars are usually handled by a girl's agency, these are obviously something from AKS which means there's still more to come! Members like Tomochin, Acchan, Takamina, etc. will probably have about 3 different calendars this year!

So yeah, we have a LOT of options this year it seems.

[LacusClyne]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow Janken tournament, it will be screen live in Singapore's theatre, I had gotten my ticket!!!

I'll be rooting for Takamina! She deserve to be in the center soooo much!

[OogoeDiamond]

sadly as she said herself she really sucks in Janken

[LacusClyne]

^(T_T) i'll pray for a miracle then.....
