Let's give credit where credit is due. http://akb48.blog48.fc2.com/ Your motivation to study Japanese is above, my fellow Stage48'ers Side note: He's seen about 1,170 shows.
^ He goes to the shows...and then writes about them, particularly the MC's. Supposedly he sits there with a little light, pen, and pad. I've never met the guy, but by reputation alone he seems pretty damn badass. P.S. - The thread is now Stickied.
I will worship him if i ever meet him in person. I've tried memo-ing down an MC for real, but I can never get every detail correct like him.
I love memolist. Because of his entries, I learned every girls name in kanji. Even kenkyuusei. I go to his blog a few times a day, always checking for updates I always wondered though, who is he a fan of???
I feel bad for having never heard of Memolist if he's such a legend. XD I really should visit the site more often.
Does he know that he's an object of love and adoration around the world? I've always wondered how it's even possible to see so many shows does he have a bunch of FC memberships to get a ticket or something? He's had a review for every show I've ever wanted to read about...
^ Aw. I kind of figured it would be something like that. Not a lot of people have Natsumi as their favorite member (at least not here, anyway. XD). =/ But #2 is really cool, too!
i just have to say, this guy is awesome! and if i got to meet him or if i saw him, it'd be almost like being near Mariko-sama, ok maybe not quite. was this guy perhaps on the Japanorama video, there was this one big fan, and he said he was big fan of Mariko, was just curious, since we have no idea how memolist looks like, but he is doing a great job in his entries. Matsubara rocks!
^ ^The Japanorama guy is Shisho, who I believe has been banned from the theater (for taking photos when you're not meant to?) but still goes to events and concerts.
*cracks open Japanese textbook* Thank you Memolist-san for providing AKB48 fans worldwide with priceless details of their shows as well as motivation for all us studying Japanese.
Memo-list... I've seen him before. Usually after shows, you'll see a guy writing in a journal. That's him Sits on the bench and writes away, crazily. He earns his money for the shows through his site by the ads and the view counts.. That's basically what he does for a living I believe. Gets most of the shows I believe... but if he misses one, he just sits and watches the screens? Crazy!
