Yeah this thread was way at the bottom for quite some time. Now it seems to be moving along at a good pace.

Just watched the PV!
I think it's really neat! It's too bad there won't be an HQ one because it's really quite an awesome video!

I don't like AKB48 but that is damn impressive. If these girls are the ones that will lead Japan back to the Female Revolution, all hail AKB48!!!

Ahh, I meant I was glad AKB blew up the charts. xD

I saw OJS in the top 30 on the opening day, but I don't know anymore than that.

Here's a cam capture of the uncensored Beginner PV:

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjE3ODc0Njky.html

It's not as bad as I thought it might be but I can still see why it was censored.

I think it has more to do with the audience than the content itself. Like, a rock band with a bunch of adult fans could easily get away with a video like this but an idol group with a lot of young fans? Not so much.

Just 3,000 more copies to pass Heavy Rotation, at this point:

Beginner = 680,246 copies sold

AKB48 = 3,493,475 copies sold

Me toooo~ Gomen, ne SUMMER made me fall in love with SKE48 on the spot. God I love that song~!! Haven't gotten to learning the members though D= besides WMatsui, I only recognize Anna and Yukiko....

Though I'm a bit disappointed at the song choice for SDN's debut... I don't like GAGAGA much right now... though it might change when I get to hear it in hq cd-rip. I'm dying for Kodoku na Runner though. love love love

And CONGRAAAATZ girls on the 2nd day sales~~! Yay-ness! go go 1million~~

^ Oh! Do you like Yukiko?! Or you just recognize her? Yukiko is my favorite SKE member though it's sad that she got almost no screentime in 1,2,3,4 Yoroshiku
