[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

Im glad im not the only one who still remember this amazing dog poop song. I still remember so many people hated this song but the song is actually really good. And it was one of my favourite song during that time.

 

I always found this song so fun!

The first three eito kennin were Yamada (A), Ikumin (K) and Nagi (B).

Years later, AKB didn't have enough people to make AKB4 teams functional, so they made the previous shuffle giving kennin to every eito. The ones who didn't have a kennin were the ones who joined the team later.
Now they've redistributed them.

You know what I fear the most about this 17th Generation? I've seen AKB management's methods before. Those eitos who aren't their favourites will stop having jobs, any 16D23 besides Zukky, Manaka, Erii, Satone and Naamin will disappear, you're going to get 5 Nemousu episodes in a row dedicated to the 17th gen and one of them will steal a senbatsu spot that someone else deserved and worked hard many years to deserve it. And they probably won't be that good to begin with.

 

I see no change... you could just write you fear is Nagi is gonna get shafted even more and you would have saved so many words!

 

Good luck being called to Nemousu again where you had lots of exposure recently, Fujizono. And good luck to you too, Remi.

Oh, that didn't even cross your mind, did it? Here, have another winner.

it didn't cross my mind to cling on Nemousu appearances after being in the group for 2-3 years (let alone more!), that's for sure

 

AKB48 will be appearing on "SKY PerfecTV! Idol festival! ~ 2021 Christmas ~ ” on 12/22 at 19:00:

Thank you for this!!

 

During the 2017 shuffle, every Eito got a kennin with another AKB4 team. The members, such as Mashiro, who didn't have a kennin up until now were the ones who debuted after December 2017

 

What are they going to do if Acchan’s Sakura no Hanabiratachi solo places?

 

whoever they want in the current roster will sing it.

 

Well…obviously
It just seems like quite a bit of pressure, considering what Acchan meant to the group. I know I’d certainly not want to do it

 

Well didn't stop Nagao Mariya from taking Yume no Kawa as grad. song

And, in case you didn't know, Okada already covered this version of Sakura no Hanabira

So I think she would do a great performance. She's someone who I trust will withstand the pressure.

AKB48 also includes enka

This has just popped up in my YT recommendations, it's a video posted today of an abandoned AKB48 deco-bus without license plates beside a road in Shikoku:

The members on the side of the bus would seem to date it from around 2012? (I think the person who shot the video might just be a Miichan fan )

 

looks pretty clean... could be someone's car. or house.
