[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

Thats brilliant, someone should buy it and turn it into the AKB disco-bus

The white/gold uniforms are the ones that Aachan announced her grad in at the Saitama super arena.

 

Still not done watching through all the uploads, and found this one

Being honest, I really like (the song+choreo)NmHmR, but THESE 10:44 minutes were better than the 58th single as a whole.
The story, the tension they built up with the dramatic-cinematic intro (=the emotions), acting, effects, lightning, music, lyrics, everyting is so beautiful to watch!
The costumes and styling are endearing.

Spoiler: alsooo

Shibata Aya center
I swear, the two AKB coupling songs I watched now with her as center both had a longer, emotion based intro

 

Merry Christmas!!!!

Kimi no Uso wo Shitteita (from Mae Shika Mukanee)
For me this has to be one of the strangest coupling MVs but it's very entertaining and a lot of fun

I wish so much she'd gone into acting instead of being a host on ABEMA TV, she's so talented - she's my all-time second-favourite SKE48 member after Ryoha and I was very lucky to meet her in 2016 just before she graduated, she was as beautiful as I expected her to be

 

My kami-oshi (now graduated) shared her personal favourite out of the new uploads. It's genuinely really good

Speaking of dog poop, today YT thought would be a good recommendation and I immediately remembered this post

Is it only me who has big regrets that 「近いのに離れてる」(Chikainoni hanareteru)was not normal single and has been hidden under rug as exclusive for AKB48 Beat Carnival?

I felt in love again with AKB48 after listening this song again and again

 

Gonna post this in here as well since it includes AKB48

BNK48s 11th 12th single will be produced (song and choreography) by AKB48 members. The MV shooting will also take place in Japan.
Announcement from today:

I honestly loved both Beat Carnival songs. I wish we could have another rhythm game

 

AKB48 will hold an AKB4 stage play adaptation of the manga and anime Iwa Kakeru! -Sport Climbing Girls-.

Is it only me who still feel pain after seeing only 1 release from AKB48 in the whole year? Where are beautiful times, when they've released 4 singles and 1 album annualy

 

TBH I prefer if they reduce only 3 single per year maximum and album for like once per two year. That way they could put more focus on promotion and quality so that it might sell better.
