How convenient for them lol But yeah I also feel like now that all the originally popular members are graduating the sales are declining as well. Now there's only gonna be Mayuyu, Yukirin and Kojiharu left once takamina is gone. I'm not counting Jurina, Sayanee and all those cause they're originally from SKE and NMB. Nogizaka's sales rise with every single so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they replaced AKB. I don't get why Aki-P gives all the good songs to Nogizaka though, you'd think he'd want AKB to at least have good songs and not just live off their million-seller image. It's obviously not working, like come on give them a good song.. The last AKB A-side I enjoyed was heart ereki...

Takamina will perform a magic trick during FNS festival, if she fails to do the trick she will postpone graduation...

please give Takamina's graduation some dignity...

I think the problem with Aki-P giving the goood songs to Nogizaka is simply that AKB can't make them work, or at least not as good. AKB is more fanservice, with bikini singles and revealing outfits, and not too many good singers. Nogi, on the other hand, has more of a "princess" image, with bikini shoots banned (except very few exceptions). Plus, as you said Nogizaka is only raisimg while AKB is slowly fading (despite management desperately trying to avoid it)

^I didn't know about bikini ban!! That's so good because AKB in bikini is sometimes very tacky looking...

I love this!

Did not formally know about the bikini ban. That might be the reason why I prefer Nogizaka46 - the 'classy girls of the west side'...

Yes, it is banned by their agencies. Not only that, but also another fanservice aspects like super short skirts or too revealing outfits. I also appreciate that they sing live in their concerts (not every song but still)

It was so bland IMO, Takamina graduation thing again, Acchan & Yuko back instead of promoting new gens, 4 most overperformed songs ever...

Sashihara Rino is salty about her position in the upcoming single...

"My talent has been power-up, I have appeared in many show, therefore I think it is ok what position I stand in the group. but I am not ok if the it is like this. (...) Even being no.1 in General Election, the fact is if it does not work, it does not work."

Source: http://akb48-daily.blogspot.cl/2016/...-with-her.html

Does she even think that she can beat Maeda's status?

Bit late...but there was a single released since last time it was updated - "Kimi wa Melody". And the overall million streak continues!



And this just in...they just announced their 44th single (46th overall), and their next senbatsu election single, for June 1st release. And the senbatsu election ceremony on June 18th.

But what's surprising:
  • Mion Mukaichi is centering the single
  • Senbatsu event to be held in Niigata

This just in, and I'm quite surprised about them...I mean, who knows what will happen?!

Mukaichi Mion.
She's a 15th gen member and one of the most popular new gen girls.

She ranked 44th last year (when Sakura first ranked she was 47th, for comparison) and her handshake sales have been stellar.

I would have personally gone with the Three Musketeers (Kojimako, Naachan and Miki), but this works too lol

Biggest AKB Group expansion in history...? We've been rumoring TPE48 for a few years, and MNL48 for the past few months, but BNK48? I didn't even expect that!
