    See, this is how I know I'm bloody old: I just bought - and still buy - the CDs. No region-locking. And lossless quality as opposed to streaming quality.

    nah ... if you want lossless you should buy vinyl .... ;)
    (and that makes we wonder what AKB would have done with album cover art? sadly, we'll never know)


    (and I'm too old to be able to hear the difference between lossless or streaming quality)

    It's great that there is digital music but I am old-fashioned, I love how physical a DVD contains and they reward you with photographs of the group.

    While you are listening to the music you look at the photograph and fly in the imagination.

    With 1000+ song it's understandable lol
    Nothing beats physical, good for collection and good for bragging

    I ripped the bluray collection as mu flac for listening on the phone. It is very enjoyable to listen with audience interaction.

    Did someone say AKB vinyl?

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    They also released Halloween Night as a single on vinyl and NGT48 had an EP release too, but I don't have either of those. I think that's it.
    (my apologies if I'm telling you information you already knew)

    Regarding the NGT release I think it was cancelled.

    As for vinyl albums, if they had half a clue they'd crowdfund vinyl album releases, that way you get the money up front and your not relying on shops to sell them. I'd say they could sell at least 1k limited editions of the stages albums and best of/original albums.

    That's not the only money they're leaving on the table, I could never understand why they didn't release vinyl figures of the members (at least the popular ones anyway), I have some great ones of Love Live characters and AKB members would look great too.

    nooooooo!!! ..... that would ruin my bank account for sure to the point of bankruptcy :)

    I remember the arts academy Aki-p is associated with did a project with dolls for every AKB member ....
    And I know myself ... I would want the whole set, and that's not that bad with a series like this
    [​IMG]
    where each figure is about 25 euro

    but the better ones weigh in at 100 to 200 euro ... like these :/
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    having a complete 16 member senbatsu .... well ... you do the math :)

    I tend to have more Idolm@ster btw

    I also made a playlist! But I ignored the stages cause I wanted to keep it to the 80 ranks of SSK or something like that. The songs aren't in any order really ññ

    I was actually really surprised by the lack of figures for the group and 0048 when I joined fandom. But like @dutchie that would put a big hole in my finances!

    I'm sure someone will correct me, but I can't recall seeing figures of any real live idol group

    well, it seems Good Smile Company, imho one of the best manufacturers, has started it's own idol group :)

    There's one thing I miss about AKB48 singles and it's the making of.

    Oh interesting!! I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner, but might be neat if they stick around.

    I was mostly surprised by the lack of 00 figures, but I'm guessing it wasn't popular enough? I have Nagisa and one of the mini figs, I should have picked up all four when I had the chance. :(

    That would be cool if there will be a figure based on real life idols. My wallet will go broke if that happens. That will be a first for AKB and to the idol industry (I think).

    I'm not sure if GSC started they're idol group, I think it's more like GSC commissioned those three seiyuu to promote their products. More like brand ambassadors.

    Did Bandai released the figure for the other members? I thought the Nagisa was the only one they released.

    I wasn't collecting figures when the Nagisa one came out, I missed out on that.
