Event / Concert 8th AKB48 Kouhaku Taiko Utagassen (2018/12/16)

Oh dear; I was so disappointed when they cut Takino Yumiko's saxophone performance out from the Blu-Ray release because of rights issues over the song she performed (the Bokura no Ongaku theme song). I hope they find some sort of solution this time around; or at least make it available on the TV broadcast like they did last year.

 

there would be no more cho's guitar cover 47 street...

 

Yukosu !!! For real ??
I thought she was done with 48 world.

 

So Okada's working both teams

 

Are members with concurrent positions allowed to be part of both teams? As I see Naachan (red) perform with STU48 (white)

 

ahahahahaha TOP trolling of Yumirin

Kojirin really looks like soukantoku! her voice, eyes etc very leader-ish

 

Oh come on... please don't cut this from the home video release this year...
I've always dreamt of a 48G-wide wind instrument club, and this is the closest we've got. Bonus points for the sax quintet featuring both Takino and Furuhata - the two of them have gotten a fair bit of attention from jazz/saxophone hobbyist magazines.

 

Why was the setlist removed?

 

sasshi

 

I gave up on it (I was getting annoyed with myself with it and not sure if certain parts were right or not). FYI I'm a perfectionist lol.

I or somebody else will be the full setlist after it's over.

Skyperfect TV will broadcast the concert on 19/01/14

 

I saw a clip of Hana's song and immediately added it into a list of worst things that happened in 2018

 

why would they abandon the original format and adapt this music festival-ish format, the atmosphere is just wrong, kind of wasted everyone's effort

No
