    Quick question; is there any way to listen to the DEMO male voice version of akb48 songs?

    What? You mean the demos recorded for the members to record to? If so, no. There’s no official releases on them (no, duh) nor are there leaks. I’m pretty sure I heard M. T. Sasagu’s demo somewhere but nothing long. It was only a few seconds.

    Occasionally you will hear snippets of them when one of the TV shows does a bts segment, or in the documentaries, or other such thing. But as said before, never more than a few seconds.

    They are DEMOs. By definition never meant for public release.

    it's a waste because from some of the demos we've been exposed to, the demos sound much better than released song for some reason.

    Limited Edition came with 12 trading cards on top of the 5 included photos. No difference in video content (or price iirc).

    It's quite rude but i have to ask. How much has akimoto pay for akb member? They perform in the theater but they have too many member and in the lastest ep of akbing a member said she had about 4-5 day off per week. How can she live with that?

    No one knows. How much you're paid depends on how popular you are and how much outside job you get. This is where agencies come in. Outside jobs pay you fairly well if you're a demanding member. As for the the 4-5 days off per week? Are you talking about that Eito member that was on Gaya? If i remember correctly, she is still a minor so the days off for her can be school.

    Edit: It's Hama Sayuna you're talking about? She's only 16 so she probably uses her off days to go to school. Not as young as I expected but when she appears on AKBingo and other stuff, she gets paid.

    i'm wandering how can the non senbatsu member live with several hundred dollars. They might not pay the bill. One more question, who do u think is the most succesful member after granduated? what do they do for living?

    They do other work as well (TV shows, photoshoots, etc.) depending on the member. Also, as mentioned, many of the girls are still students in either school or university. They don't need to live off the money, it's just a part time job. Like their peers might be working a konbini or a cafe, they do this. That's why many less successful girls graduate the group when they graduate from school, because they realize they need to find a proper job.

    I've seen a fashion ad featuring Mariko in a fashion magazine not long ago. Can't remember what brand it was though. But I think the OP was more interested in what the current members do to survive, considering their wages are low.

    There was this video by Ishizuka Akari who broke down crying about being poor:
    if the video does not show watch the video here
    Now, personally I think she was exaggerating a bit but I'm pretty sure she still doesn't earn much, considering I've never seen her appear in any TV show (though I admit I don't watch NMB shows much, so she might have appeared a few times) or ad.

    in TV land Acchan and Yuko doing well in their jobs, Paruru also make a good start but if we talked about the most successful graduated member right now, i'm gonna say it's Kawaei Rina..you can see her everywhere

    Adding onto this, I remember watching AKBingo! one time (for some reason, I can't find the episode) and one member said that she barely earned enough to eat ramen (and this was during the golden era). And there's this article about Ohori Megumi, who said her pay back when she was a member was 45,000 yen, which was barely enough to make ends meet. There was also Baito AKB, who earned 1000 yen an hour as a part-time job, which makes you wonder what full-time members like Kenkyuusei earn.

    In the entertainment world, I'd definitely agree with people saying Acchan, Yuko and especially Ricchan. I always seem to see Riichan.
    Outside of this, Kawasaki Nozomi is a successful businesswoman, with a fashion company, nail salon, spa etc. She's definitely been making bank since graduating from AKB.

    Outside of entertainment, there are some other graduates running their own business. Uchida Mayumi owns 2 restaurants (according to the wiki, some other graduates work or used to work there, but I don't actually know which ones). Sato Natsuki also owns her own nail salon. I think I heard at least one more girl owns a hair salon, but I can't remember who right now.

    I totally forgot about Ucchii (I think she's also released her own book?) and Nacchi! The only graduate I can remember that works at Ucchii's restaurant is Nishino Miki, and that's because of 48talk :lol:. That also reminds me that (albeit not on the same level as Ucchii), ex-NMB member Shimada Rena opened a cafe a few years ago, which I only remember because Koishi Kumiko began working there after her SKE graduation. They're not AKB, but they still count.

    Nishino Miki is starring in a monthly comedy show on a channel called WALLOP TV:

    That page is currently showing that Okada Ayana (ex-Team 4) was a guest on the most recent edition of the show which was broadcast on 11/19.
