Here we go again

 

I watch the Mion Birthday performance from 3.16 Nana performing in what looked like her solo makeup. Under eye jewels and temp tattoos on her hand and thigh. She performed in hi-hi’s spot in sono mama de and lullaby. Awesome performance as expected. Really carrying on the vocals.

Can’t help but comment on how thin she looks on camera

there won’t be a livestream for naachan’s gradcon, apparently :,(

this combined with the venue having less than 2500 seats just doesn’t sit right with me… i wasn’t expecting something super grand or over-the-top but it’s just sad to think that a majority of naachan’s fans won’t be able to see her final performance or get to say goodbye to her.

 

I swear to god, every time I think they can't treat her any worse... they do.

 

Thank you, Avex for giving us this grad concert.
And F* U DH (AKB's management) for making things wayyyy to complicated than it needs to be. If Avex was able to get her last solo con live-streamed at the same venue I can't think of any reason why they couldn't do it this time. The only difference is that other AKB members are participating in the grad con vs. being Naachan's solo concert.

Regardless, I appreciate everything Naachan has done for her fans. I'm sure she's fought for the live stream until the last minute. And I thank her for allowing her fans to use the serial code from her first solo con DVD, bc clearly DH has long forgotten about such a thing exists. Too bad that I won't be able to exchange my serial code for a lovely cheki since I'm unable to go to the grad con this time.

 

You have an infantile view of business. The management simply came to the conclusion that something more was not commercially successful. Is she hated? Management doesn't want money because Nana offended them? Of course not!
I know that many people here have a distorted idea of AKB48. But today, the possibilities are extremely limited. And the difference between popular and not popular members is not great. Okada doesn't have much more powers than Tomu.
I'm more likely seeing a conflict between Avex and DH. Who will bear the costs and who will receive the income. So do not dramatize the usual graduation of a far from popular person in Japanese show business.

 

@innosu A live-stream can’t compare to the live experience of a concert. You are lucky to be able to attend a unique experience, while the rest of Naachan fans will have to wait for pictures from official sites and… god knows if we’ll ever get a release or something. The same can be said about Tomu’s concert.

Nako is getting a paid livestream, so I don’t know why they haven’t done the same for them. It’s easy money, in the end.

 

Personally, I wouldn't care if a concert I'm attending is live streamed. In fact, it would be better. I get to experience the whole thing in real time and then have a high quality recording available online immediately after to re-live it as often as possible. I would still always prefer to go in person if I could, even if there were live stream tickets available.

 

I'm guessing that some people (not me) feel that some of the exclusivity is gone when there is a livestream vs when there isn't. The live in-person ticket has more value if that is the only way you are able to see/experience the live performance. In-person is obviously better, but you are still able have some or most of the enjoyment of the performance when you see it online. Since this is a much smaller venue than we thought it would be, I think in-person experience would be much better than if it was a much bigger venue, livestreamed or not. I still think she deserved a bigger concert but that's a different topic.

 

I don't understand the need for it to feel exclusive though to be honest... it doesn't change my own personal experience.

I also feel, in person a small venue is better because it's more intimate. On livestream, it doesn't really matter. For Naachan's sake, though, I wish she had gotten a bigger venue though, as that's what she deserves.

 

Nako still has Korean popularity, Mercury can't say no to that.

 

I've experienced a few AKB48 concerts which were livestreamed and made available on DVD afterwards but the video just can't properly capture the feeling of what it's like being there. It's why I'm going to Japan again later this month, I want to discover for myself the atmosphere at Team 8's farewell on 4/30. Yes I could stay at home and watch the livestream, I'd probably see more and it'd be rather cheaper lol, but I just want to have the experience for myself. (Then again, if they do have a livestream and it's another VR one, I know where I'd much rather be...)

 

It's over.
