    DEM UTAGE PERFORMANCES :worthy:

    Beatboxing, Double Bass (albeit basic), singing... I'm going through as many performances as possible and it was great! The usual gang is there too so as always UTAGE is a delight to watch.

    well, it probably has to do with the song they were performing :)

    it's always funny that the older idols get the more traditional dresses ... and then for the current idols they spice it up a bit ...

    but doesn't she look gorgeous? :)

    now I come to think of it ... she should have trolled the sousenkyo wearing that :)

    (for extra bonus points, appear on the arm of Togasaki-san ... or for ultimate trolling, Alan Shirahama ... I bet no-one would be talking about the Jurina vs. Sakura spat after that .... :D )
    (Ok, that would probably be really, really bad for Miichan's career .... :/ )

    you don't happen to have a link by chance? (if need be in pm)

    never mind ... I should have checked UTAGE's twitter feed ... :)

    From what I understood bass playing is pretty difficult as you don't have the help of frets to place your fingers , and as we can see ... it get's pretty painful as well :/
    (you won't develop callus in just the few days Miichan got to practice)

    Does anyone know how popular a show Utage is in Japan and who apart from Sayanee, Yukirin, Sasshi and Mayuyu is a regular there from AKB?


    ow, btw the song they performed in the wedding dresses was 'wedding bell' ;)

    I noticed there are quite a few full UTAGE episodes on YouTube .... and so far every single one I watched featured Miichan,

    Even one where AKB48 performed as a group at the end, Sasshii and Miichan were in the 'panel' together with Paruru, Sakura, Yuria and a member I don't recognise :/ (Sasshi and Miichan in an obvious senpai role)
    Paruru looked really nervous (and kinda sickly as well)
    Then in the end they perform Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai with all the top members like Takamina, Yukirin and Jurina. (there is an interaction before they start between the host and Takamina, to me it sounds like he's surprised she's there (but I could be completely mistaken about that :D )

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    (AKB segment starts at 18:50)

    Based on the members present, you would not have expected Miichan to be in the 'panel' ... otoh ... Sasshi and Miichan were of course the two top 'variety' types.

    at the first episodes of UTAGE, I remember they invited Sasshi and no3b from AKB as guest
    after that, only Sasshi and Miichan remained
    then after a while, they add Yukirin and replaced Miichan with Maachun, but it seem didn't go well so we had Sankon trio as regular guest again
    then when the show came to end (as an regular show) they invited Sayanee, and she along with Yukirin, Sasshi, Miichan are regular guests from AKB since then

    oh yeah, forgot I still had this one utage performance of Minegishi: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MfqNi8gZaIuidjhvunU_ReuBCxlNMFtI

    and just so I'm not carelessly bumping the thread when I could have edited my last comment, I'll spice things up with this hilarious rendition of Yume no Kawa, taken from Sashi's showroom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HhTO0XE9atTrU4oZweFVkQc2CGl-APj-

    (at first Minegishi seems to be the best act out of the three, but then she's easily outdone by Oya Atsuko)

    I had a low quality one of that ... but this one is much better, arigato!
    No3b was just awesome in that, poor Takamina :) (and the role reversal of Miichan acting like the older sister to her, we also saw in the request hour when they did a duet)

    I think you ment Shizuka ;), I think Shiichan is one of the many underrated girls, so glad to see her so happy this year when she ranked.

    this was right after previous year's sousenkyo


    Well, Miichan has done another SHOWROOM today ... about ... household appliances?? :)

    Maybe she'll keep this up, which would be good for us international fans for sure :)


    Oh, my god!!! I knew the pond draining got messy .... but this :D
    DgdHsbpVMAETfjV.jpg-large.jpeg

    well, maybe that mud is good for the skin ;)


    Well, shiver me timbers ... I just watched some more of that UTAGE episode ... and somewhere in the middle Mayuyu performs SONE's secret base ... (with Yukirin on backing vocals ...)
    (An I'm just going like ... but, but .... that's Micchan's song!!!! :D )
    (and Yukirin was in tune ... not like Miho ... and no Kitahara on air drums or Sasshi on air bass either ;) )

    ow, and I know I'm biased, but I think Michan's voice is better suited for this.

    Shiichan really is underrated... I'm really thankful to both her and Miichan for sticking with the group so long <3

    Well, there was a 'how well do the Kohai know/appreciate their Senpai' AKBingo episode where Shiichan consistently ranked high ..... leading Miichan to exclaim when she ranked 'middle' i.e. lower .... 'but, but ... it's Shiichan!' ;)
    (yup, Miichan could be that bratty sometimes ... but it was tongue in cheek)

    There is a good chance that within the AKB group she is well respected by the other members (and not just because she's a senpai), and she does have the occasional solo work outside of AKB.

    But I do get the impression Shiichan has a lack of self confidence, which you can see if someone says something positive about her, it always seems if she never expected that.
    (I do think it has improved though)

    when asked why people would recognise her, her answer is 'because I'm tall' ....

    Now there's an image we don't see very often, I guess besides these two there won't be many people around who haven been part of AKB from the very start and are still around, apart from maybe staff members like Kayano Shinobu (?)
