    I stopped reading the 43rd single thread a while ago because there's way too much nonsense and too much negativity (I really wonder why people still consider themselves AKB fans if they're going to be so angry at pretty much everything :S). I'm not surprised there are complaints about Acchan, about the grads, about Sakura too, etc. But personally I won't let them ruin this single for me. I'm really happy about grads being back for ONE single. I'm also very happy to see Acchan again, she will always be my favorite member all-time ;w; I really missed her, I also love Yuko, Tomochin, Mariko and I'm really happy to see them all again (they look SO gorgeous too!!!) <3 I have absolutely no issue with Sakura being center either, she is doing a great job. And I also like that she supported Acchan's projects (when she went to see Acchan's stage play), I like seeing them together since I like both of them XD

    So I think the best thing to do is just ignore whatever is being said in the 43rd single thread (or also on some twitter/tumblr posts), and just enjoy this single because this is the only time we will see those members in a single again! I prefer to talk about the single's news in individual threads, like here, because it's much more positive and I know I won't have to read angry reactions. So let's just keep it like this and enjoy this moment! :"> (and then in some months we will have a new Acchan solo album I CAN'T WAIT *o*!!!)

    The complaints are bound to be there, had management had better planning (AKA swapping BMB with this one instead) I think the complaints wouldn't have been there but eh nothing can be changed now. I honestly doubt we'll see more of Acchan in anything AKB activities after this (and perhaps Takamina's graduation concert) anyway. I'm just glad we got a beautiful MV (which I'm absolutely in love with because I love those historical harem dramas and this just made me go !!!!!!) and Acchan was absolutely beautiful in it ;w; (I hope the grads can make it to a live performance though, preferably Music Station ;v; )

    New pictures up on Mohican Comes Home site here.

    Time might prove me wrong, but I doubt anyone will ever replicate Acchan's level of popularity. Something everyone in AKB still benefits from today.

    Yeah, hard to imagine any girl ever being ''the face of AKB'' the way Maeda was. She centered for SO LONG and for SO MANY songs!!! Hard to believe another girl could ever be that popular. Do you think it was mainly because of her beauty? (I've always thought Maeda was the prettiest girl in AKB history). Or do you think it has to do more with charisma, talent, circumstance, management's decisions, etc.?

    I don't know why exactly either. I believe management said they chose Acchan because they actually thought she was the least suited and would therefore best exemplify the philosophy of achieving something as a group. Also, they thought this would create a kind of Cinderella story for Acchan and give her a mysterious charm. But don't get me wrong, I think Acchan is pretty and talented too :)

    I'm always so impressed with the people who run the auditions for AKB. We've all seen bits and pieces of those first generation auditions. Girls, like Maeda, that looked so dorky, moved so stiffly and sang so poorly turned out to be monsters in the Japanese entertainment industry. And the people who supervised the auditions, somehow, managed to see SOMETHING in these girls that made them think that was possible. It really is amazing when you stop and think about it. When I watch those auditions, all I see are no talent little girls. Go figure.

    As somebody whose first favorite was Acchan, it's difficult for me to enjoy this new single as an Acchan fan, because for some reason it is not Acchan who is the center of this so called 'anniversary single'.

    It is satisfying to see though that Acchan still outshines the whole current senbatsu, including the center.

    For me when I discovered AKB Acchan was the big star. Cute but also beautiful. Once I saw an investigation about the most beautiful woman face. They had asked a lot of people from different cultures around the world for what they thought was a perfect face and then merged that together to get the optimal face. Acchan's face is very close to that perfect face. The oval form, eyes form and place, mouth and nose. Everything. And together with her modest behavior it's hard to deny she's the optimal front person. She has not so good singing voice but nobody's totally perfect.

    Well I think Acchans voice is really beautiful. And I really love her solo career.
    Indeed she is outshining the other members. Not because she is Acchan but rather because of her smile. I love her smile and I'll looking forward to the full MV :D

    Looks like Acchan is in a upcoming drama, nothing is known other than the fact that her fanclub sent out mail looking for extras to be in it.

    FC mail pictures credit to CL_100 on weibo.

    honestly thats what makes me love this single a whole lot more. The fact that despite not being number 1 in positioning, she still outshines everyone in 48g with ease lmao

    I can't wait for Kimi wa Melody to release on March 9. I want to see My oshi's tango with Acchi.

    Has anyone seen any of Acchans movies before? Which one was the best?

    Why is Atsumina a thing? Why do people pair them up together? I'm asking cuz I made a Fanfic in Jphip with a rather interesting twist...
