    It looks like her to me too so good to have a second opinion! I'm also wondering about K3

    TeamK3rdStageStudioRecordingsCollection.jpg

    I was trying to figure it out for every stage (some are obvious) and I think it's...
    A1 Takamina > A2 Kojiharu > A3 Mariko (? 95% sure) > A4 none > A5 Miichan > A6 Takajo Aki

    K1+K2 none > K3 Tomomi? Yuko? > K4 none > K5 Sae > K6 none

    B1 none > B2 impossible lol > B3+B4 none > B5 Yukirin (?)

    41+H1 none > H2 Tomochin

    That's Yukirin. She was on all the covers for Team B stage recordings.

    You can see Yukirin peeking out of the car window on the B3 cover.

    Sorry, no idea re: K3.

    Isn't this Mayuyu ?
    For K3, I'm pretty sure it's Yuko

    Eyes look more like Yukirin's to me, but I could be wrong. My main point was that someone is there, not no one.

    A1: Takamina, A2: Kojiharu, A3: Mariko, A4: So-Extra-Small Acchan? Probably not because the CD released on 2013 lol (But there is someone in the cover with short hair, maybe Mariko), A5: Miichan, A6: Akicha
    K1, K2, K4, K6: None, K3: Yuko, K5: Sae
    B1, B2, B4: None (B2 maybe it's Mayuyu's oshiri lol), B3: Mayuyu, B5: Yukirin
    H1: None, H2: Tomochin
    41: None

    I'm pretty sure this is Yuko!

    I looked at it and I feel like... it's Lovetan actually o_o The eyes shape and size seem too round to be Mayuyu... not sure.

    If it's B3 Cover I'm seeing mayu or Hirajima from Pajama Drive. Lovetan had shaped bangs above her brows to mimic heart shape.

    They lost their contract with DefStar Records.

    The group decided to release Baby! Baby! Baby! independently as they couldn't find a new record label right after they cut ties with DefStar. Luckily, eventually, after about 6 months, they were able to sign with King Records

    There was a scandal related to the Sakura no Hana 2008 CD release. Each CD had one of 44 random posters included, if you collected all 44 you qualified for an unspecified spring "event", the japanese department of commerce took a dim view of this type of promotion. Defstar aka Sony released the group who were reportedly heavily in debt to Sony at the time.

    I did attempt to answer a similar question in Yukirin's thread in this post regarding her gradcon but as @bonjourmarlene pointed out later on a Japanese phone number is now required when applying, not just when receiving e-tickets as I thought (my most recent applications for the Spring concerts earlier this year didn't require phone verification). If however you do have a JP phone number then the instructions in my post should work (although a FC membership is not required for the current application round).

    Hi, I just found this site after Youtube randomly recommended me Yamamoto Sayaka and Watanabe Mayu song videos. Since I was unaware of anything about idol groups like this, I would like some help.
    1) Is there a place to watch the recent performances on the internet because looking through Youtube, they only posted music videos. Plus, with there being quite a lot of members, I can't actually put a name to their faces. Maybe need more time.
    2) I assume Oshimen means favourite member. How did you all decide to pick one? Google showed me that YS and WM have left the group.
    3) It seems that AKB is going through a restructuring. Were they losing hard to the K pop boom before or other factors? What does eliminating Teams mean?

    1) There is DMM Live on Demand https://www.dmm.com/lod/akb48/
    2) I think it's mostly an emotional thing.
    3) They have to recover from Yamaguchi Maho incident and covid pandemic. They are also a 18 years old group already. I don't think K-Pop boom is the main reason.AKB48 have always existed together with hallyu (K-Pop boom) since their rise to popularity. They occupy a somewhat different market, most of their sales are domestic.
