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

[Trinu]

Millions of... what?
You mean the sales of Manatsu no Sounds Good and Mae Shika Mukanee?

Have in mind that ManaGuu had the election votes in it, hence the sales. Acchan leaving didn't have anything to do with that.

MaeShika will struggle to get to the 1 million mark, according to the HS sales.

Anyway, covers and tracklist for Acchan's new single (copy-pasted from Stage48, so credits to the guys over there!)

^ OMG SHE HAD THAT KIND OF FILM OUT WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ARGH OSHI I'M SORRY.
thank you very much now I understand!! the trailer is awesome. my bad girl. plus the song is lovely XD

[YUKARI]

Acchan's watched Yuzuru Hanyu winning gold at Olympic Games. She tweeted his name and congratulations. It seems like she's the one AKB girl who did it. Oh Acchan

[Bigtop]

RUSSIAN!?

Wait a minute - is this in coincidence with the Sochi Olympics???

[adantatu2]

I try to listen her music, but for me is boring, at least she always look good in her photos

This single is a theme song for her new movie Seventh Code which was shot in Russia in June 2013. Maeda also spoke some Russian in that movie as it was shown in the trailers.

I don't know if they linked this with Sochi 2014, but I can say that not only the words but also the entire style of the covers is influenced by Soviet art.

[Trinu]

Leaving this here cause this might be the best song in the next AKB single:

Anyways, does anybody know how to spell Atsuko Maeda in Russian?

[YUKARI]

^ it'll be like Ацуко Маэда

Yeah, you're right - Ацуко Маэда...

[thinkingoutloud89]

is there a way to watch the 3rd senbatsu election online?

[Trinu]

Have you tried looking for it? Cause if you type in Youtube "AKB48 election" it's THE VERY FIRST result lol

[tsumekaze_]

I rewatched it thanks to your link.
That made me wonder... with all these graduates now who will be the new media members?
Who's in the list of becoming acchan/yuko replacement?
Any new girl having the spotlight on her?

And the big question mark. Will sasshy ever come back to akb48 or will she be forever stuck with HKT48?

[visionfactory]

^She will stuck in HKT she's fine there, I think the AnRiRe girls are being pushed a lot

[YUKARI]

Sasshi is doing great with all her tv-programs I don't think she needs AKB now. she's still in media senbatsu and for a casual listener she is considered as an AKB even if she actually belongs to HKT

girls like Kojima Mako/Takahashi Juri/Kawaei Rina/Iriyama Anna and etc. are considered to be a new senbatsu.

[tsumekaze_]

Oh so Kawaei made it to team A with the shuffling, I see..
I didn't even know about the AnRiRe unit, interesting.
I hope I'll get to know these new girls, I can't quite seem to follow AKB the same way I did with the past generations, because back then I got to know the girls naturally and now that my favs are (almost) all out I can't seem to recognise anyone haha. Thanks guys!

Anyway I see sasshy is doing more than fine after the scandal, not only topping in the general elections but having her own unit, solo carreer and so much popularity! good for her!!!
