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

[Polyrhythm]

I think they should just breakup Not Yet. Sad seeing Yuko slaving, only to help promote boring girls like Yui and Sashihara. She could be doing big things by herself. Plus Not Yet's music and outfits are some of the cheapest and tackiest I've seen out of all the subunits. She's like one of your aces hello, 40% more effort maybe would probably bring more dignity to the whole thing

I don't think Mariko could squeeze out enough time for something like being in a subunit or having a solo career. If she has a solo career anytime soon, it'll probably not involve any singing and will mark her graduation. This girl has been outgrowing AKB for a long time. She's ready to be someone big in Japan.

Some freaky Miichan shet:

So, I've never been super into and of the AKB groups, although I do love RIVER (even if they sound like they are saying "liver"). Anywho, there is a singer named Miray that I am a huge fan of, real name Kaneko Mirei. Is it true that she is joining SND48? I read it on last.fm and Wikipedia, but I don't know how reliable they are. She is supposedly joining the 3rd generation?

[Amrai-chan]

That would be her. Yes she's a part of SDN's 3rd generation.

Wow, I'm shocked its true. On the one hand I'm sad, because I loved her solo and she had such a unique sound. But, on the other hand I know that she's not terribly popular, so I hope this boots her image and I'm glad to know she will still be active. At first, when read that she would be in the group, I thought it meant she was a past member. Anyway, I'm totally going to be paying more attention to AKB now. How will I know when she is going to be involved in a release?

[Ranma Matsuri]

You can see her profile here: http://www.sdn48.co.jp/members/ She's very pretty.

It's hard to say when she (and the rest of 3rd generation) will start being active. SDN48 news doesn't come as frequent and often as AKB/SKE and even NMB news does unfortunately.

I assume they will be in the next single (which hasn't been announced yet) and start being added to the stage performances soon. I'd say just to check in with the SDN section at Stage48 (http://stage48.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=37) every once in a while to see what's up.

I see her sense of style and make-up kinda changed for that shoot, probably to make sure they all look cohesive. She used to be quite tan and had more doll like make-up. But, she still looks good.

Thanks for the links and info. Gotta keep myself updated.

She's already started: miray performs on アバズレ (Abazure) as part of Undergirls B on the MIN.MIN.MIN single and is also in the PV.

The senbatsu and undergirls groups change with each single so she might not be on the next one and since SDN just released MIN.MIN.MIN in August it'll be a few more months till their next single. Just keep an eye on Stage48 and their official pages for news and details.

[OogoeDiamond]

about SND I really hope they will release their fist stager on DVD soon maybe two generations at one - like with Himawari stages I kind of belive that maybe 2nd generation and 3ed for sure might be somekind of SND kankyuseii subsitute cause members are getting smaller and smaller

[PoetGirl]

wait, what. omg. miray, the reggae artist? that super talented girl joining idol group?
such a shame, lost for music for sure.

[OogoeDiamond]

how would you guys said if new single got "Team Songs" like Chance no Junban?

Yup, that's who I'm talking about. She is so under-rated. I was looking into why there was no new news with her, and found out she was in SDN48. I will miss her music. So fun and cheerful. Glad she will be doing something. She may have been dropped by avex :/

I'd say HELL YEAH. Bring on the Team B goodness! (oh and the other two teams too)

I will not be happy however if there's a Regular Senbatsu song instead of a UG song as the B-side though and it gets more attention than the actual A-side.

[OogoeDiamond]

Undergirls A
Akimoto, Uchida, Umeda, Ooya, Katayama, Kuramochi, Kobayashi, Amina, Nacchi, Mariyannu, Tanamin, Chikano, Nakata, Nakatsuka, Nakayan, Moeno, Nonaka, Hirajima, Sakiko, Matsubara, Yonezawa

Undergirls B
Abe Maria, Harukyan, Wasamin, Iriyamam, Oota, Katou Rena, Ayarin, Kanon, Komori, Sumire, Shimada, Shimazaki, Eriko Jo (NMB), Shihorin, Takayanagi (SKE), Miyu, Mariyagi, Harugon, Nakamata, Reinyan, Aamin, Yamauchi

stage48 says that dont know if confimed or not

[Ranma Matsuri]

Yeah, it's not confirmed yet which is why I didn't post it. Not really liking it so far. Where is my Fresh Lemon? ;__;

[bondingo]

^ Hopefully nowhere to be found

If this is true: I'm happy Wasamin's in UGB. Hopefully their song is good. Kind of sad to see Sayaka put back in Undergirls though, but oh well.

Either way, I'm REALLY just hoping this single will indeed be Beginner II.
