wait wait, if this unit for whatever reason pulls out a first good single and then continues growing as a popular sub-unit then it might end up pulling a WH method, by adding more members into the group they would have to add Shizuka and Natsuki, it's possible since there is nothing particular about these 3 that they should get a unit and not add Nacchi or Shiichan.

Oh I know right? I was just kidding. Unless two girls in AKB were a legit couple (*cough*saeyaka and mayucchan*cough*) I think it'd be a bit awkward to watch them kiss.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

mayucchan?

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

True. Though, knowing me, I'd find it awkward anyway.

Mayu and Nacchan.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

In the Watanabe roster, these girls are the top 3. Yukirin > Akicha > Mocchi. Nacchi & Shizuka are no where near their popularity. & 3nin groups tend to be more popular than 5nin I think.

Who knows? Maybe there's a Natsuki, Shizuka & Nachu unit coming out

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

yeah, but in WH, Nakagawa Haruka didn't make senbatsu last year, but still was in WH and look where it got her this year and they also added Kikuchi Ayaka who didn't make it this year, but thanks to WH she'll get plenty of exposure throughout the year and who knows if God forbid there is a sembatsu election next year if we might see her in top 10. I figure Watanabe recognizes the potential within Shizuka and Natsuki (they did hire them after all) and like i said earlier if French kiss ends up popular then they may get added.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

[shock] please let this unit be a permanent unit [nod]

i knew Yukirin & Akicha will have a unit together after watching their Temodemo no Namida performance, Mocchi is a nice surprise

They're singing for Major seeason 6 anime? the last season that i watched was 3, i definitely need to catch up now

But doesn't a season in the show last 51 episodes?

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

Kikuchi was probably added because she was suposedly supposed to be in Watarirouka before she got fired. Maybe Watanabe doesn't want to have Natsuki and Ooya in units. Maybe they just want them as "talents" or something.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

I love this new unit already! Some of my fav members (especially Akicha ) Asuka has a great voice for ballad's and slower paced songs so hopefully this unit is chocolove-esque. I could see this unit continuing on if their sales are high.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

yeah, but i once heard (could be wrong though) that Wh first started as a 3 person group.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

All of the WH members were in the same agency, which is why they were put in a group.
Also Ayarin was originally supposed to be in WH, but then that whole scandal thing where she got fired, & then when she redebuted in a Team, they added her.

That was Okawhatever Sisters. It was the 3 popular Ogipro Team B girls, and they added the 4th for WH.
CinDy wasn't loli enough to fit the theme lol.

But that was still when Team B was new. Nacchi & other girl have been around for a while, and it's kinda obvious their popularity isn't going to skyrocket any time soon

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

Well i'll still believe my theory, afterall it's not like AKB48 is above trying something different, i'll be more or less sure of of possible additions to the group after seeing how the first single turns out.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

Interesting group. I'm looking forward to it.

I don't think Nacchi and Shizuka would ever be added to the group. In addition to the popularity thing, they just don't seem like they'd...fit in with the image the three have.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

^ I think Natsuki would fit, but not Ooya.

I don't think either of them will be added, especially if the group turns out to be really popular because fans would most likely like it just the way it is. It'd be like adding someone to No Sleeves, and I'm not sure too many people would like that. ;D

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

really? i thought it was about 20+ episodes per season [speechless]

edit: checked at AnimeNewsNetwork, each season contains 26 episodes

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

Yeah. Ayarin in WH was definetly part of the original plan. She was popular, team B, and from the same agency. Also, the 5-nin formation lets them put Mayu center.

And I don't think we should take the name to literally. I very much doubt there will be any actual french kissing involved. Just like "No Seeves" often wears sleeves. It's just a name

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 French Kiss [Zutto Mae kara] 0/0/0

*yawn*

I'm hardly interested in this unit.

None of them are in my top 10 or even top 15.
