[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

wow, I am surprised that Sayanee's 2nd has more sales then Mayuyu's 1st

 

RIAJ Digital Certifications for February


Platinum (250,000):

AKB48 - 365 Nichi no Kamihikouki (12/9/15)

DJ OZMA - Junjou ~Sunjon~ (7/12/06)

AAA - Sayonara no Mae ni (9/17/14)

Nishino Kana - No.1 (11/18/15)


The gimmick as asadora soundstrack sure helps a lot, i still couldnt believe how AKB winning over queen slay kana.

If only AKB song could keep up results like this..

 

does No. 1 tied with any CM, Movie, or drama? if not, it's still good sales. Real winner, imho. Torisetsu was huge success because of Heroine Shikaku. And 365 Nichi no Kamihikouki too, song quality is contribute but i think mostly because Asadora tied.

 

Today i noticed a new "Team" on the official AKB site profile section, with 2 girls labelled as part time AKB.
http://www.akb48.co.jp/about/members/?team_id=15

I suppose these are the Paruru senbatsu winners, but weren't there 3 girls selected ?

 

Yes they are and I guess one must have dropped out.

They're really pretty but more the model type, not the idol type.

 

The third girl hasn't been mentioned as far as I know but her face is now blurred on any footage used from their first announcement so it's pretty safe to say she's dropped out for whatever reason.
Interested to see what role Paruru plays with them and what will come of their CD debut with such small unit (and I thought it was small when it was just 3 or 4)! One benefit I suppose is that there won't be any problems sharing screen time!

 

Prior to Baito AKB they were in fact working as models.

 

It shows. But it's not a bad thing, they add a different flavor to the mix, I like it.
This is the kind of girl I was expecting Paruru to select.

 

a lot of AKB shows is ending in the near future... quite a few of them are the long running ones. and still no news if there will be new ones in the next TV season. at this point, AKB members will be left with only one show AKBINGO and this situation looks very grim... what do you think about it?

these ones ↓ I'm not sure about, but they were in the list, maybe fans of these members can confirm it?
京都いろどり日記 (Yuihan's Kyoto Irodori Nikki)
山本のラジオ (Yamamoto Sayaka's Radio)

 

its sad that NOTTV will be gone...so no more Anta Dare soon.....sigh

 

Well it can't be helped that the service is closing down. Perhaps some other service will take it over (or make something uncannily similar) like NicoNico or Hulu.

 

i sure hope another service will pick up Anta Dare...its my top 3 variety show in 48G

 

So sad that Ariyoshi and Goboten will be gone

 

Some people have already talked about this before. Idol decline in Japan affecting the number of TV show rating for respective group. Bound to happen.

However, I can confirm that if Yamamoto Sayaka Radio are to end, another NMB48 show are guaranteed to replace it.
The rest, I can't say. Partly due to lack of trusted information. But I'm sure each girl talent agency will do it's hardest in some possible way.

Just the end of TV show. Not the end of the world.

 

I hope theres a new show replacing some that will be gone
Include all the next gen of AKB for sure to build a strong bond between them

From what google translation can hint, these 11 people are involved in a kind of video directing contest.

 

....and the possibility to be involved at 48/46 MV project in near future.(last Paragraph)
