AKB48: Welcome to Japan's Most Sophisticated Show (3rd thread)

[Polyrhythm]

How can acchan NOT be #1....she is on 3 out of this single's 5 covers....the new song is a theme song for a drama she stars in....she has a solo song that is a theme song in the new drama she stars in.

[dreamland2.0]

^Because Yuko fans are crazy?

[Ranma Matsuri]

Speaking of Acchan....


Preview of her new single "Flower" @ 00:31:



Boring title but I love summer ballads and this one sounds pretty good.

[Polyrhythm]

Sweet ballad for sweet acchan....ballads are kinda boring when done by idols....but I'd take that over another ear-splitting attempt at pop by Itano....any day...

[OogoeDiamond]

if I had to choose beetwen A chan and Yuko I choose Yuko because A chan is kinda overexposed and irritanting...

[Amrai-chan]

The song suits her. I want to hear the whole thing.

You know what would be interesting?

If Mariko won the senbatsu election instead of Acchan or Yuko.

[jeffycue]

^^ LoL. i read the last line first and was shocked. hahaha. i used to love mariko but i got bored with her. xD

[dreamland2.0]

^I actually want that to happen!! I love Acchan and Yuko both, but I would love for a Mariko centre song!!
Everyday's PV is so neat

[visionfactory]

Thx Ranma Matsuri

I hope it's just for the chorus that this man is singing along with Acchan

THANK YOU.

Mariko in center also sounds totally amazing.

[Ranma Matsuri]

Agree with the majority, a Maririn centre would be sweet. The song would probably be genki and spunky and the PV something like Namida Surprise... colorful and humorous to fit her personality.

[OogoeDiamond]

Mariko has a creepy smile

reminds me of
Minegishi or Kojima would be my types ;d

anyway dont you think it would be wonderful to have a rock a side (Like Maria or Blue Rose with Akimoto) on Center?

[Amrai-chan]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the idea. If Mariko were to be center now would be the time and

lol I haven't paid much attention to her smile. A rock song something like MARIA or Blue rose I would love that.

[Ranma Matsuri]

^^NO WAY! Maririn has a quirky and playful smile... unlike that creepy PGSM chick (she always gave me the creeps, perfect choice for a TV villian). >____>

[Amrai-chan]

THAT'S where she's from. I was trying to place her because she looked familiar but I couldn't think of where she was from. I always block her out I guess.

I started watching an SKE concert SKE48 汗の量はハンパじゃない. 20 minutes in and I hear a song I like.

[dreamland2.0]

I've never listened to SKE's stage songs yet, but I love all their singles so far!! They are consistent with the catchy!

The next A-side style will definitely be determined by who wins, as Iiwake fit Acchan and Hebirote fit Yuko. If Tomochin won maybe we would get a heavily autotuned dance track

[bondingo]

If anything Maririn looks like Ayu, not that girl.

8/13 is in Nagoya, so obviously SKE48's making an appearance, then 8/20's in Osaka, and ditto goes for the newly-formed NMB48; the grand finale on 8/28 is really the best time AKB48 can show up in full, because it's in Tokyo and it's the final night - usually the one that people are talking about a lot, including maybe what it could be on the DVD that would be released some 2-3 months later after the concerts!
