[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

if the video does not show watch the video here

But even a Naachan center wouldn’t salvage that song!

 

KnP > KFC

*runs like hell* (Though tbh, I was feeling that way when KFC was being performed over and over and over and over again 2 years ago).

But anyways, still always believe Kibouteki Refrain should have been the SSK Single that year and not what begin the new versions of KFCs that we got for the next 4 years.

 

*runs with you*
I think so to, management should risk and shake things up! The million streak is getting weird and all I want is some new AKB music

 

I miss AKB so much.
They're definitely waiting for Izone's Jline

So maybe a single by May? I mean whatever works, elections should come back, it's my like my super bowl haha

 

11th SSK here we go!!

 

Yo!!! June used to be such an important month to us...

 

Dasu as the face of the group? That would be... amusing

 

WI*ZONE:

 

I've said it before, but seriously bares repeating: If they're scared of losing the million streak just release an album! Good grief. Speaking of which I am baffled as to why the Japan based 48 groups haven't had more albums over the years. They could have each team record 2-3 songs a piece, have whatever Kenkyuusei exist at the time record one and call it a package.

 

I'm no sure it is that simple, Nogizaka faced a 40% drop in sales, though AKB management can only lower it's expectations.
I'd add another hypothesis:
It is currently hard to not say impossible to grab sister groups members and a part of their respective staff / logistic to film a PV.
Who knows ?
I'd like at least some communication on their current status. (well, they'll never say "we're scared of loosing the streak").

And yet HKT48 just recorded and released 2 new songs. Likely to be droped in their next CD release. with these it can be half filled

 

The problem with albums is that instead of HS they come with tickets for 2-shots. Compared to HS events they've more expensive to organise as an extra member of staff is required in each booth to take photos. IMO though they could do the same as Nogizaka46 do with albums which is to give two HS tickets with each purchase.

 

Can't believe we're approaching the 1 year of AKB's latest single.

 

For the theater re opening (currently closed because of sanitary emergency state), AKB48 is asking the fans to vote for the songs that will be performed at the end of the re opening show

Vote on Twitter by mentioning your desired song with the hashtag #ファイト1曲AKB
https://twitter.com/AKB48_staff/status/1366361931943079937

 

Then they can just release an album that includes hs tickets, can’t they?

 

This seems like a horrible idea to me. The songs might be great on their own but super mismatched.

 

From the list, the song JESUS is never great in any circumstances, that and Honehone Waltz are probably the only songs that make we want to actually die when I hear them

 

On the subject of what the best AKB Sousenkyo single is, I'm currently hosting a ranking on my Twitter page (@zorkle22). If you're interested, add me and then I'll dm you the info.

P.S. If you don't have a Twitter, you can also dm me here

 

They're not asking for us to vote for the entire setlist, just a handful of songs (maybe even just one) at the end, presumably in the same slot they used to play the latest A-side.
