Probably if you want to see cute girls doing cute things, you watch Team 8 concerts. If you want to see a good concert, you watch 13th gen concert. How 16th gen will turn out? Will it be closer to Team 8 or 13th gen concert? We will find out tomorrow. Also I'm curious about Miion concert. Can she get through it without running out of breath? Since Miion is also busy with AKB drama, she will have a bit less practice time, hopefully won't impact her performance. I think her singing ability at least is above Naru, Nagi, and Yuiyui. Not really worried about NGT, I think they will do great.

That's highly unfair to Team 8. When they're performing River, Escape, Kegarete iru Shinjitsu, Ama Nojaku Batta, LOVE TRIP, Zipper, HA!, High Tension, Kibouteki Refrain, Cross, etc. they're cute girls doing cute things?
To me, "cute" are songs like Hajimete no Jelly Beans or Tenshi no Shippo. If songs like those two are cute then around 98% of AKB's songs are cute.
Cute: Amanojaku Batta, Love Trip, Zipper, High Tension, KR Cool: River, Escape, Cross Unknown (because i either never listened to the song or is not familiar): Kegarete iru Shinjitsu, HA! Basically, my definition of "cute" is when songs are performed where members appeal with cuteness or act feminine. Nothing new there lol
Is this cute? Is it because of the pyon part? Even when it talks about troubled teens? Zipper cute? Women undressing? Well... I see your point... But if those other songs are cute how do you tell them apart from like Hajimete no Jelly Beans or Tenshi no Shippo? They can't be in the same category. Kegarete iru Shinjitsu HA! When I think about cute what comes to my mind is rainbows, bubble gums, pink, unicorns, tails, balloons and shitty dancing. And why isn't the 13th Gen concert filled with "cuteness" too?
(Unfortunately, all the videos you linked are blocked so ) I would definitely put Zipper in the cute category because of the hella pink costumes and cutesy (yet erotic) appeals lol
Hahaha.... Anyway, when will this AKB48 "blocking" end. I have a system for watching videos now, but it's not fair that foreign fans don't have access to the youtube page of their favorite idol group.
According to YT, YT Red is in these countries: Australia Korea Mexico New Zealand The United States I thought that AKS videos would be blocked in all of them, as AKS didn't sign the YT Red contract. According to wikipedia, "Following the unveiling of YouTube Red, it was stated that these same contractual requirements would now apply to all YouTube Partner Program members; partners who do not accept the new terms and revenue sharing agreements related to the YouTube Red service will have their videos blocked entirely in regions where YouTube Red is available."
They could if they wanted to. Joseph Kahn has a vimeo channel, which is where you can watch his version of UZA. And while it is not AKB48, you should check out his Rubberduckzilla, which is totally Japanese.
AKS and most of Japanese companies refuse to sign YT Red contract since YT Red feature (view videos offline or download them to a mobile device for up to 30 days) is conflicting with Japanese copyright laws.
