[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

No member is going to ask Aki-P any embarrassing questions about AKB in public (like where are our fucking original stages?), the last person to throw anything remotely challenging at Aki-P was Akane Takayanagi back in what was it....2010?...2011? And iirc challenges to Aki-P like that were pretty strongly banned from there on.

 

Didn't Kuranoo ask for a Team 8 single last year though?

It was more or less the same, even though she didn't mention him iirc.

 

No, that was Nagi.

 

that wasn't remotely in the same league as calling out Aki-P on a live tv broadcast to produce a new stage.

 

Well, she asked for a single live on TV, during Sousenkyo. Sounds a bit bigger than a stage.

 

Yooooooooo

But I was hoping for an announcement

 

all we got these days from ANN are graduation announcement....no news are good news

 

That ain't my like you got there. But only because I can't give them (no tapatalk here). Otherwise, consider yourself the proud owner of another like from me.

Even though I am well aware I have been guilty of this very sentiment. I swear I am trying to do better!

 

Waking up just to see I didn't miss anything. #Feelsgoodman

 

Thought about leaving this here. A list of rooms from where you can get some of the avatars made by fans at Showroom. Most are Team 8 ones, or the ones girls like or have made themselves. Note that you shouldn't say aloud that these avatars are for some particular girls because AKS takes them down due copyright violation. So, just get and wear those without saying it aloud. There were many already deleted, unfortunately.

(The list became so long that I created three posts to show avatars:

1. STU48-related avatars.
2. AKB48 Team 8-related avatars.
3. Other members-related avatars.

 

thanks, great job!

it should be, afaik, from left to right - Serika, Hamachan, Ranrii, Hiichan, *, Ruka, Yokochan
* = I always thought it represents a team 8 fan with the camera lol, but I have no idea if it's a reference to something more specific (umekurage should be Wakayama? and she's Ruka oshi=Wakayama but idk lol)

they wear it for Shimizu Maria, Team8 Gunma representative

 

I don't think that's fair though.
The only reasons I can think that people are angry or upset about something is when X-oshi doesn't have a good position or Y-ace is getting a kennin she doesn't need. I don't think anybody would get upset if the girls got a big concert or something.

In my case, I was expecting them to announce something because they haven't done anything exciting since forever.
They could have announced a concert or a tour (wasn't the 2014 Tokyo Dome concert announced on ANN as well?), they could have announced new perks for the SSK rankers/winners, they could have announced a new event. Anything.

I just feel the 48G have been on autopilot for a while and management isn't even trying to hide it.
Everything they announced for the SSK last year is basically being rushed (and half-assed, imo) before the next SSK so they aren't called out.

And even if there's something that upsets people, it probably makes others excited. You can't please everyone.
But if they just don't take the risk, well.

 

Oh, yeah, could be, they had a Ruka avatar but was deleted and replaced with this one, so I kind of expected this to be another for Ruka.

Duh, I confused Gunma with Guam somehow, this one was easy had I stopped to think about it, thanks.

 

It reminded me when he said that Team S stage was 70% done and another stage was 30% so some things they just didn't do yet. I guess they want to avoid that from happening.

 

This is how it starts.


You also have the Hayasakaguchi avatars, the Sun and the Moon, by sazatinn0209.

 

The other one was Team H, IIRC.

It's like they just drop bombs to hype the fandom (new stages, new events, new international SG) without having anything planned in the first place... and then you got things like TPE, with no news for over a year.

 

Fujie Reina asked for a team M original stage in SSK 2015 haha

 

They saw it worked once, so...
