[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

I hope he just admit he did the wrong thing and stop covering his actions with lies...

At least I would then still respect and forgive him because of his work all these years with akb and the eitos.

Everyone makes mistakes and deserves second chances.

i respect him a lot for all the things he did for Team 8 and 48G but after this incident it will never be the same anymore. will probably see him in 6 months or a year after his sentence

 

Twice you have claimed he lied. Got proof? If not, don't do the courts job before they have a chance to examine evidence/question witnesses.

Do I think he fucked up? Yes.

Do I think 48G is done with having him/Top Lead work their shows/events? Yes.

Do I believe he had a reasonable excuse to enter a place without permission? Not as things stand now.

But still, I am trying to to give him the benefit of doubt because nobody was hurt, thankfully. And we don't have all the facts. And are likely never to have them, knowing how the Japanese legal system likes to keep that stuff as private as they can.

 

This is not the court. This is s48.

I mean come on...white smoke. Is that where he gunna take this to? lol And according to the video, he was searching the bag and got caught red handed while trying to flee outside and got apprehended by people.

If he had saw smoke and thought it was a fire, why didn't he wake up the dude who was sleeping first but went to check out the bag? Was there smoke coming out of the bag? And why did he try to escape instead of explaining after he was seen checking out the bag?

I'm just saying you know...

 

Objection! The internet is serious business! All comments and opinions must be scrutinized to the full extent of the mob, or you shall be held in contempt of Godwin's Law.

Okay, joking aside, I really like Top Lead and what they've meant to Team 8, so this sucks. Their agency will probably bury them to protect their reputation, regardless of the outcome of this (unless there is some miraculous turnaround like he was framed or something - unlikely), so that would mean contracts with AKS would also be done.

Anroke is (was) my favourite current show too, so I'm selfishly bummed about that. Even if they just drop in new hosts, it won't be the same as the bond Top Lead had with the girls.

 

Ninnin's statement is really odd. if he did see any smoke from an apartment, shouldnt he be calling the fire department ?
instead, he ninja his way to the apartment and look really suspicious searching someone else bag.
He was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Spoiler: AKB48 mentioned in another trashy Western press article about Japan

From today's Daily Mail in the UK: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/af...-idols-Japans-dark-obsession-young-girls.html (about halfway down)

Surprisngly this has not been mentionned here.
Hiwatashi Yui, Kamata Natsuki and Murakumo Fuka got their 1st voice acting job for the child targetted anime movie Shimajirou : « Mahou no shima no daibouken ».
they are going to voice 3 supporting characters.

side note: Shimajirou seems to be a thing in Japan, the franchise exists since 1988 and is in it's 30th year.

 

It's over. Rip.

Spoiler: Main point of the article

調べに対し当初は窃盗目的を否認していたが、「お金になりそうなものがあったら盗もうと思った」と認め始めた。At first he denied the accusation of stealing but after some investigations, he admitted that he wanted to steal something if there was like money or goods.

 

I'm still loath to rush to judgement but if true....just why? Was it temporary mental aberration a la Winona Ryder or something?

It just seems so bizarre, he can hardly be so badly paid that he needs to resort to a bit of burglary on the side lol.

 

Is he yoshimoto comedian? If he is,he will be fine

 

Japan Expo Thailand yesterday posted a video on their Facebook page of the whole 6-member AKB48 performance at the event in Bangkok. I tried to post a link yesterday but this forum was still having technical issues so I wasn't able to do that. I've just tried again but it looks like the video has now been removed, presumably because of copyright issues? Anyway, as far as I can remember, the setlist included Hebirote, Aitakatta, KFC, 365 Nichi, Iiwake Maybe, Flying Get and #SukiNanda. (there are some unofficial videos floating around if you know where to look... )

 

...and just saying, it was mainly live so prepare your ears
