AKB48 Question & Answer

I was wondering if any more knowledgeable people about past AKB CD releases could help me with some information on older singles?
These are the only CD's left I need to collect to complete my AKB48 CD collection, all my copies of everything are still sealed and first press so i'm looking to get all these all eventually in the same condition but i'm having trouble finding information on whether or not these had first press, or only one press, etc
And if there was first press, what was it, ticket inside? Application card? Trading card? A different cover inside? etc
The info just helps me know if I need to look out for a specific kind of edition (so a listing where it says you know 'First press edition with application ticket, trading card, etc' or if I can just buy any copy

If you know any info about the first press bonuses for any of these, even if it's only one release (Or even info you know that they didn't have any and it's just what it is, that's helpful too

Thanks that's it

 

Hi! I'll be going to japan on December to meet AKB48 but suddenly, a friend of mine told me that AKB48 doesnt hold handshakes or Theatre performances on December. Is this true? If it is, I'll be disappointed. Thank you for helping!

 

Oh!! I'm so happy right now! Apparently I think on January, I became a fan of AKB48 so now I'm hoping to see them. Thank you so much for telling me! I can't thank you enough. If I didn't posted this question on stage48 I wouldn't have known about this. Thanks once again! I'm new on this forum btw.

 

Thanks! I thought it might be for some kind of handshake, but it wasn't mentioned on the AKB King Records website. I'm guessing it would just be too soon for it to be listed there?

 

I dont know if this is the right place to ask but, SKE is releasing their single next month and if I want to apply for HS it is through mu-mo shop right ? Where do you guys usually check for the dates of HS sale rounds ? Thanks in advance.

 

I see that Akimoto have given up being Capitain in Oct 2010 and then was again named capitan in Feb 2011. Why is that?

 

Iirc she had a scandal. While making the Infinity musical, the director (?) slept at her house and was caught leaving in the morning, or something to that effect. She either stepped down or was removed from the position, and after the scandal blew over, she was reinstated as captain.

 

Why didn't my Limited Edition Negaigoto no Mochigusare CD i bought from CD Japan came with a photo? I tried finding everywhere but there was no photo at all!

 

Yes it was the director that was caught leaving her apartment the next day. She also announced that she was stepping down from her Captaincy on ANN, and the other members there at the time ran into the studio crying.

 

Thankiew so much for helping me! I shall be more alert from now on.

 

Is Dareka no Tame ni from Charity single the same song that is on A3 album? Or its sung by different members?

 

This is old video, anybody knew where is this come from?
which event?

Video

 

Can anyone please explain me how the "no competition clause" works?

Thanks a lot!

Only yoshimoto (The agency that manage nmb) have this iirc, basically they can't work in the showbiz for 2 years after leaving the agency.

 

Thanks!
