AKB48 Question & Answer

Of course it's ok to move the girls, they are developing, but it could be done with more respect for the girls feelings and not without warning at the end of a concert. Or even in the beginning of a concert. But sometimes one could really wonder about transfers. Kojiharu from A to B and back to A. The opposite for Mayuyu. Why? Sometimes I feel that the girls are treated worse than laboratory animals.

 

They transfer teams, they don't get drugs injected into their eyeballs.

 

Maybe it's better to say "as worse as"? But I don't think they are doing experiments on laboratory rats in front of a big audience and making them embarrassed? But now I leave this sad issue and go further with Team A in Zepp Fukuoka.

About the use of the political term "SOKAKU".
In summer of 2009, formation of a cabinet by Democratic Party of Japan was expected in Japan.

The staff of AKB is often eager to use current terminology.
Before the concert, I thought "Sokaku Festival" meant showing a new senbatsu members.

 

A not so serious question about the song Ame no doubutsuen. Cute dresses. But have there been some debate about the chimpanzee dress? A chimpanzee with long tail, a new species? The Japanese macaque do have a tail but a very short one. It's a bit typically for AKB48 to choose cuteness instead of accuracy. Not a big deal, maybe we instead should be thankful that the penguin don't have a long tail?

 

Such thoughts come up when my brain is idle running.

But I have another question. JK nemurihime. Nemurihime is Sleeping beauty but what does JK stands for?

 

Joshikousei (highschoolgirl)

 

Lol, I nearly choked on my tea, imagine being on this forum and not knowing what JK stood for

 

Or 女子高生. Thanks, it's not easy to understand all these shortenings.

 

I'm sure there are more forum members who are as we two.

Edit: I must ask, does it mean Junior or Senior High School Girls?

 

Kousei is senior highschool comparable with the Swedish gymnasium.

 

I thought so too but I wanted to be sure. Tack.

 

Just Kidding

 

Thanks! Do you perhaps know how to get the subs for Season 25 eps1-5? The link to FiveGumi is not working anymore

 

It's so neat that the girls performed Shitsuren, Arigatou in its entirety on TV. Has Sustainable ever been performed completely fully?

 

A DVD question. I can't find Aki matsuri DVD, http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/AKB48_Tokyo_Aki_Matsuri on Amazon? Bad search or temporary sold out? Help?
