Now that sounds interesting

When you put it that way theres going to be a whole lot of lip action between each pair. :hehe:

But that's if they don't cop out and fake a kiss.

NOOOOOOO! THE YURI! just kidding, i'm still ecstatic about this!
What a cop out. Pfft!

... Why on earth is Hone hone waltz in there? Also, some of the stuff on the list is surprising. I haven't heard them do Rio no Kakumei in a long time, so it would be interesting to see how they fit it in.

That's a lot of K2 & K3 songs :blink:

But wut? Since Ruka is apparently a guy now there's no Oshi Meshi or Kinjirareta Futari :wall:

At least they have More he Ikou

• by **Melos125** » Oct 26, 2009 (18:13)

Wait. Wow? Is that Ame no Doubutsuen I'm seeing? Hone Hone Waltz too? Wow this gotta be interesting. They should have added Kurukurupa for more lol. Sadly no Amai Kokansetsu, Damn wanted to see Sayaka dance that. Even MALE vampires have nice sweet hip joints too you know. At least there is MARIA, Blue Rose and Tomo yo.
Could someone translate the song list please. And what's the words in black mean.

This is sure to be an interesting musical.

• by **makistar** » Oct 26, 2009 (18:15)

Just realized the song list has the singer's name on each song.

Takamina solos: 泣きながら微笑んで, リオの革命
Sayaka solos: 君はペガサス, Blue Rose, MARIA

How the hell could they choose Nakatsuka and Iwasa over Haachan for a big role?!?! >:0 At least it seems like it. RSL will be happy to know it seems like Natsuki has a pretty big role, since she has a supporting character just for her.

Oh and the song list isn't in order they're performed, it's in alphabetical order, so the real one should be more...cohesive?

• by **richardthebrave** » Oct 26, 2009 (20:02)

AKB Infinity reminds me of Takarazuka Revue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takarazuka_Revue

...except Infinity may probably not have the same lavish production as Takarazuka, this is one musical i think is worth seeing.

Come to think of it, Aki-P did say in MIPCom that AKB48 was patterned after Le Lido (the famous French cabaret and burlesque house) in Champs-Élysées - but of course using loli and moe as the selling points instead of exotic shows. Looks like he wants to integrate Takarazuka concepts too.

(as for the AKB48's Le Lido origins, it's somewhere in the MIPCom site or the interviews of Aki-P in the french channels)

Sae solo of Blue Rose, Kimi wa Pegasus and MARIA!!! I really want to see this musical

So many Team K songs is just great!! Saishuu Beru, Tomo yo, ... are some of my favorites songs =D Happy to see Mori e Ikou too!

Just realized that Hone Hone Waltz is being sung by 'Maids & Hone Hone Dancers' and the maids are Tanamin and Nakayan. :XD:

• by **Wendychi** » Oct 26, 2009 (21:43)

I was like, positive on Kinjirareta.
WHAT IS THIS.

Anyways
I approve of Sayaka MARIA solo.
(Ame no Doubutsuen and Honehone Waltz are DO NOT WANT though)

LOTS of news...

Firstly, woah! I didn't think there'd be all of this information available! Does anyone want to translate that song list? I Rikai-chan-ed it, but I have a few questions. (Like 'staff.' who is that? It's different from 'all members.' Does that mean that the support staff will be singing?

Also, I'd love the 'relationship' chart to be translated.

And I'm super unhappy about the new Team concert costumes being used in what I'm guessing are the new profile pictures. Team B's is terrible! But at least Natsuki's pretty.

Natsuki in Ame no Doubutsuen AND Fushidara na Natsu!? I guess Akimoto is finally repenting for the fact that she didn't get a unit in K2.

And what are everyone's names? Is Natsuki's 'Kashiko' or something?

Jasey wrote:How the hell could they choose Nakatsuka and Iwasa over Haachan for a big role?!?!

Yeah... And Chiichan, too. I mean, what? And it looks like Nakatsuka is Natsuki's partner in this musical.

Jasey wrote:RSL will be happy to know it seems like Natsuki has a pretty big role, since she has a supporting character just for her.

I'M SO HAPPY. YES! And who is he (like his real name and stuff) and what is his relationship towards her? (Please be her boyfriend...)

• by **Sorceress628** » Oct 27, 2009 (00:58)

I just want to know... WHAT ARE THEY WEARING?!?!?!

Actual animal costumes for Ame no Doubutsuen? Maid outfits for hone hone? I guess maid and the skeleton tutus got the same color scheme.

And please... do we get to see some Sayaka abs? Do Sayaka/Sae and Takamina/Yukirin wear the same outfits? Cause the bonus photos seem to indicate that they got similar but variations going on.

• by **RocketStarLauncher** » Oct 27, 2009 (01:40)

^Hopefully forum members that go will tell us. Maybe Memolist. Maybe Scrambled Egg.

I went ahead and 'translated' the set list into my way of thinking...

Aitakatta - all members
Ame no Doubutsuen - Natsuki, Nakatsuka, and "staff"
Kimi wa Pegasus - Sayaka
Saishuu Bell ga Naru - "staff"
Tomo Yo - "staff"
Naki Nagara Hohende - Takamina
Virgin Love - Rumi, Iwasa, and "staff"
Hizukehenkousen - Sayaka and Takamina
Fushidara na Natsu - Natsuki, Nakatsuka, and "staff"
Blue Rose - Sayaka
Hone Hone Waltz - Tanamin, Nakayan
MARIA - Sayaka
109 - Takamina and "passerby"
Mori e Ikou - "staff"
Yakusoku yo - all members
Leo no Kakumei - Takamina
Renai Kinshi Jourei - Tanamin, Nakayan

It looks like in terms of song distrobution, the supporting girls could be ranked in this order (best to worst):

-Tanamin and Nakayan
-Nasuki and Nakatsuka
-Rumi and Iwasa
-Chiichan, Nonaka, Haachan, and Uchida

• by **tokaikko_x** » Oct 27, 2009 (03:41)

NAKAYAN. TANAMIN. RENKIN. I'M DEAD.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FREAKING EPIC!

• by **Jasey** » Oct 27, 2009 (03:56)

部員たち means members of a club (though it can mean staff too), so it's the members of the dance club. I'm guessing that means Chiichan, Haachan, Uchida & Micha.

I'M SO HAPPY. YES! And who is he (like his real name and stuff) and what is his relationship towards her? (Please be her boyfriend...)

He's a relative, and is working at a beach hut to help raise funds for them to go to the dance competition. Her name is Utako, I think. The actor's real name is Murai Akira, no-one big, he hasn't even got a Wiki article.

Oh and I was just thinking, Meetan would've been perfect as like, an ancient seductress vampire lady. One that like just hangs inside all day drinking some wine and wearing lingerie. She would've been like Ruka's sire or advice giver or something. It would've been perfect >:0 Too bad if they actually had given her that role she might not be able to do it due to her injury, but w/e...

• by **flutterbyu** » Oct 27, 2009 (07:20)

Aaa! Nakayan and Tanamin are Ruka's maids!

And yay for an early preview of what are presumably stage costumes for the new team groupings! If they`ve already got custumes and new profile pics done, I wonder how far along the new stages are?

• by **Jasey** » Oct 27, 2009 (07:30)

Those costumes were already used in the Bunshin no Jutsu tour and Budoukan concerts.

I still don't why Sayaka is wearing a skirt if she's playing a male role.

Or does "he" infiltrate the school dressed as a girl? So, a girl pretending to be a boy pretending to be a girl? It's like reverse of old-school Shakespeare (a boy pretending to be a girl pretending to be a boy)

• by **Winter** » Oct 27, 2009 (15:19)

Aw... can't help but be disapointed Ruka is a boy now. They wussed out

I guess that also explains why there's no Oshibe to Meshibe and Kinjirareta Futari =(
