Why are nips so racist?

Because black people suck to within 1 sigma?

>>10506353
I dont see that as racist. Niggers are niggers world wide and are understood as such.

I wish she had uploaded a bigger version so I could use it as a wallpaper.

That makes a total of : 605,386

>>10508027

So Long will sell 800k and all of SKE48 will rejoice.

I wonder how much Docomo paid to make them wear mushrooms.

>>10508027
All because of Kitarie.

Any bets on So Long's number tomorrow? I give it 500k.

>>10507982
It really is as shitty as it gets compared to MG1.

And then it goes full lesbian.

>>10508296
Kill yourself.

I've been searching forever /jp/ but to no avail. Where can I find the Kataomoi Finally making?

>>10508478
FUCK.

>>10508523
I haven't seen it since the release.

>>10508760

But there is one right? Or just snippets? I remember seeing a different angle of the kiss scene before.

>>10509039
The entire arc is background to the lesbian pair. Hell it wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to say the entire show was background to the lesbian pair.
Frankly I would never recommend anyone to watch MG2 or MG3 unless they were huge AKB fans to begin with but MG1 is more or less an status quo jdrama with cute girls that I think the average person could enjoy.
I still think MG3 is the worst though.

>>10509551
meant to quote >>10508478

>>10509551
I wouldn't even recommend MG3 to huge AKB fans.

I mean, it was really unwatchable. I marathoned MG1 and MG2 in one day each, but I took about 3 weeks to finish MG3, because I could never watch a single episode in a sitting. It was just so bad...

>>10509570

I always see MG3 being poked fun at but I haven't really watched it. I've seen MG1 and MG2 and I honestly enjoyed MG2 more because of the yuri and Mayuyu is my oshi. What is so unwatchable about MG3? I always thought that the appeal of MG1 and MG2 was that they had the it's so bad it's good thing going for them.

>>10509614
>What is so unwatchable about MG3?
Paruru's acting, for me at least.

>>10509622

Surely the show can't be 100% her?

>>10509614
MG1 is the only one of the three that had an actual story written by actual writer(s?). The other two are Aki-P's masturbatory fantasies or something.

>>10509633
>>10509631
>The other two are Aki-P's masturbatory fantasies or something.

You bet your ass it could be.

On this Paruru note, have any of the members ever expressed resentment towards how hard she is being pushed?

Time for a blast from the past: http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/2049942
ctrl-f, search for "driven"

MG1 is the best, dat yankee mariko
but nachu made the show
I powered through MG2 for Yui, Rena, Kumi and Ami. I don't think I'll ever watch MG3. Mostly because it reminds me of BR2.

>>10509614
Paruru's acting is the worst part. It's seriously unbearable. And considering how at least 75% of the screentime is hers...

It's also so full of cliches and inconsistencies you're rendered unable to enjoy the silly ride. At least MG1 and specially MG2 poke fun of themselves - MG3 takes itself way too seriously for such a shit show.

So Long release is today right? Any news?

>>10509691
>but nachu made the show
That she did.

Sucks how Yasusu pushed her away for Miichan in MG2.

Miichan's fight scene would've been way, way better if it was Daruma instead.

>>10509702
It's literally like 11am there. What kinda news do you want? Wait till tomorrow.

>>10509686
>pics of maimai and sae everywhere
I miss Maimai. She was my first oshi.

>>10509654
>>10509694

How can MG3 suck when it has Kumin, Non and Yuria?

>>10509743
Because they get fuckall screentime when compared to Paruru.

And Dance >>>>>>>>>> Komimi.

>>10509730
Fuck who doesn't?
She was/is gorgeous and has a hilarious airhead personality. Why did she have to go?

>>10509743
when it's written by AkiP

MG2 is best MG because yuri.

>>10509730
The episode of AKBINGO where she got hypnotized was what originally got me into AKB. Dat deredere.

You guys just made me start MG3. Can I expect YuriaXparu here? or give up?

>>10509830
Open a bottle of jack and get ready for a rough night. I couldn't even make it through 4 eps before giving up and watching AKBINGO reruns instead.

>>10509832

I can't drink or I'll die. ;_; Tell me at least there's going to be PeaceXParuru moments like CenterXNezumi?

I want to be this guy.

>>10509830
There's some strong Abe Maria (Tetsu) x Shimada Haruka (Uruseeyo). Fuck all screentime though, unlike Nezumi x Center in MG2.

Other than that... not much yuri, no.

>>10509837
The Tetsu x Uruseeyo moments are even more gay than the Center x Nezumi ones.

>>10509844
>>10509846

welp. time to rewatch MG2 instead.

>>10509841
me on the right

Waiting Room is meh and the music video is just okay but that UG selection is top notch. I don't even know how you could make a better group.

>>10510194
>hikari

>>10509816
Call me a dreamer but I think that was real. Maimai is pretty dumb from what I've seen and hypnotism tends to work pretty well on people like that.
Did she ever give a reason for graduating when she did?

>>10510233
Something about management playing favourites, or something along those lines.

>>10510247
But she was hosting AKBingo segments pretty regularly at the time? I'm not sure about her popularity cause I never visited the theater back then but she got tons of screen time? Unless she really wanted to be covered in flour or something.

>>10510261
I think hosting is what management does to people they hate.
Just look at who replaced maimai for the most part? (Yuuko)

Worst 1st dale sale since Sakura no Ki ni Narō

>>10511279

Sakura no Kini Narou - 655,344

>>10511279
Not really suprising, all the B-sides are pretty boring compared to eien.

I'm new to AKB and is this not normal? To sell 800K on first day? What's the chance of them going up within the week to 1M?

>>10511338
>Beginner
>less than 600k
Figures because it's not like their other songs. Also one of the only songs I like by AKB because it's not like their other songs and the generic happytime idolpop bullshit.

welp. we can say goodbye to a mayuyu center now.

>>10511368
See >>10511338

It's not that different from the couple of previous ones. This pretty much guarantees that they'll keep the million streak going.

>>10511376
Beginner sold 300k more copies on 1st week than Heavy Rotation.

>>10511376
It was before their peak, it's not really a style issue.

>>10511397
>>10511397

Are you that guy who said So Long is better than GM5? Stop being delusional. So Long will probably peak at 850-900k the first week finally ending their 1M streak.

>>10511437
No, I think that So Long is shit, although GM5 was pretty meh compared to Sakura no Ki ni Narou. 200k within the rest of the week is doable. Mayu/Jurina/Paruru oshis will be desperate.

Just finished so long team dramas.
Team B>Team K>Team A

Seriously how the hell did team A win over team K?
Didn't feel shit during their whole drama, but for the other teams I was tearing up like a lil' bitch.
I think it was Mayuyu's acting

I just put in my pre-order for SSS. It's like my first days with AKB all over again.

>>10511958
Sadly SAL shipping is too slow

>>10511972
I usually go for it and get FedEx shipping which actually cost less than EMS. I really need to start looking into local retailers for this stuff to try and save money but it's so much easier to just order it online.

Just watched Nogizaka tte doko 71.

After all the birthday episodes, I think at least 50% of Nogizaka is trained in ballet, piano or both, as well as having a fuckton of previous models, and other certified talents like calligraphy dan-holders or Takayama's fucking awesome kendo match.

I wonder why the group isn't so popular, given its density of talent...

What are the chances that Miichan is being blamed for So Long sales?

>>10512740
By who, management or fans? I doubt fans are blaming her for the sales? It would be cool if management was because maybe they would fire her.

>>10512748

Management and members. I want to bully her. I bet Mayuyu is pissed at her for raining on her parade.

>>10512683
Don't you think the density of talent & unpopularity could, in part, actually be for the same reason? The Ngzk management is pretty flexible and gives girls time to focus on school and whatnot, unlike 48 management that tends to overwork them with theater performances etc. However, while frequent chances for fans to meet the girls have meant too much commitment for many gifted and/or academically oriented girls, it has also worked for 48 groups' popularity.

On an unrelated note, from your post I felt a moral obligation to post ballerina Maiyan.

Maybe I'm the only one here but I actually bought the single and I'm wishing for them to continue their 1M streak. The pessimism in this thread is depressing.

>>10512799
>The pessimism in this thread is depressing.
Don't let it get to you, it's mostly just a few vocal Paruru haters anyway.

>>10512799
You keep on spoiling management and they'll start hiring Talentless H@ck or something for the next handful of singles.

Nogizaka tte doko 71

Google it with the name in japanese. It's in yt, but for some reason it hasn't been uploaded to h!o.

Also, that's the only clip of her match that was shown, sadly.

People give AKB too little credit. They were the ones who had to work hard/endure shit to get to where they are now. The sister groups had the path paved for them by the AKBs. And since AKB's thing was 'idols you coud meet' of course they're going to be 70% talentless.

>>10512581
"Maeda Atsuko to succeed Akimoto Yasushi - Coming back to save AKB48"
It's a shitty story on how Maeda is returning to AKB48 on July to take on Aki-p's role as producer, and it seems to be quoting from Shunkan Bunbun.

>>10512972
The original AKBs sure. After whenever they started doing kenkyuusei stuff (7th gen?) the quality went way way up.
iirc Kojiharu said something about how initially she skipped some of the practices for AKB because it was really sketchy. Takamina was rejected by a caravan prior to joining AKB so when you look at the original members you are more or less looking at the idol rejects of the time.

>>10513357
KKS started with the 4th gen.
1st gen A 2nd gen K 3rd gen B.
But Aki-p have already produced a successful idol group.
He failed Takamina because he saw something in her.Her height and Birthdate
How did the quality went up? The only popular members that were KKS before is Yui and Sashi.
Jurina and Rena are special cases since they're the center of SKE.

>>10513432
Look at the Diva segments on AKBINGO. All of the good singers are basically from the more recent generations. Masuda Yuka, Iwasa Misaki, that girl with the big nose, etc. Meanwhile basically everyone from the original or even in the senbatsu right now are garbage besides Akimoto and Takamina.

>>10513432
He didn't reject Takamina at the caravan because he wanted her in AKB, he rejected her because she wasn't good enough?
The AKB thing came later.

>>10513432
Popularity has almost nothing to do with the talent of the member in question in AKB? The whole fucking business model is based around that idea: anyone can be an idol and anyone can be popular if you push it in the right way.

>>10513451
>>10513453
This >>10513467
Also >>10513467 that is what I'm trying to express.Except for Paruru because she's so effin cute.

long hair or short haired sayanee /jp/?

>>10513820
Miss the long hair, but love the short one.

Short.

>>10513820
for easier comparison

>>10513818
Not saying there is a problem with it. I like staring at boobs as much as the next guy. I just wouldn't want to see my oshi starting to resort to that to get fans.

>>10513820
long hair looks very cute
short hair is sexier

so long hair

>>10513848
While we're at it, am I the only one for whom "cute" equals "sexy"? Like, I want to stick my dick in most girls people consider cute, while "sexy" kind of bores me.

Why haven't you HNNNNNGed today, /jp/?

Yeah I'm more attracted to cute girls too, but it's not always about sticking my dick in them.
Not that I don't want to, but still. I can't even fap to cute idols, it feels so wrong.

I hope Nao is prepared to be ignored for the duration of their married life together then.

>>10515048
She lost to Meetan in the first sousenkyou.

Just saying.

>>10515094
Man I feel so bad for Meetan. The Japanese entertainment industry is heartless.

>>10515146
She's happily married now. Don't feel too bad.

>>10515146
Eh, she's getting married now, at last.

She might've lost a phone that she took weeks decorating, a spot in AKB, her dignity... but in the end, she always was #1 in the SDN elections and she's fulfilling her dream now, so I think she's happy. She looked as such in Request Live.

This song sounds too cool. SKE performances are much more entertaining than any other group. So much energy.

Also quoting somehow is broken, refrain from quoting using the normal method if you want your posts to be seen. Use >postnumber or @post number to quote instead

10515443

isn't that a good number for 2nd day sale?at this point i think it'll reach a million

>10515600
Of course it's gong to reach a million, in the worst case, somebody from management is going to buy missing copies. Since next single is sousenkyou, they will get their money back.

Awesome birthday cake

Quoting is fixed. Happy day!

Another day, another 70k sales hopefully.

What are you doing Mogi

>>10515162
Didn't her parents disown her? And her grandmother who was like her lone supporter died before she actually did anything?

>>10518120
Well, yeah. Right on both accounts.

But she's now starting a family of her own like she always wanted, so that's worth something, right?

>>10518120
Fuck, now I'm starting to feel bad for hating on her as well. Hopefully life will turn out better for her from now on

>>10515094
>>10515146
People always forget that she was the first AKB to get a solo debut.
Even if it had a budget of $20 and had a shitty ad campaign designed to humiliate her for kicks.

AkiP in high school.....

>>10518210
But that campaign was the one that got her disown by her family...

and then in college (left in the photo).

>>10518297
>>10518303
That the 70's or 80's? I love how film and photos use to look.

>>10518330
Likely the 70s, based on when he was born (1958)

Did anyone else watch his documentary that came out not long ago?
Being a 48G staff seems like hell, jesus christ.

>>10518344
Okay, thanks. I didn't watch it no, but I would love to.

>>10518303
There's something really intimidating about his gaze in every photo I see of him. I wonder if most of the members are terrified of him or not.

>>10518381
He has a natural scowl but since he can name every single person in the group he must be pretty friendly.

>>10518381
According to the documentary, he hardly ever sleeps... Could just be a result of him being tired all day every day.

>>10515324
loliboobs got old

>>10518210
The solo debut was pretty obviously Aki-P trying to either ditch her or create a fan base by making her life suck. She had to change the name she debuted under, had ridiculous sales requirements to not be fired, er graduated, and run around doing horribly degrading and uncomfortable things. Frankly I don't see how anyone could see that as being a good thing for her.
I'll also take even money that she's divorced within a year.

>>10518398
Maybe.
Way more likely he just knows that being friendly is way more profitable cause people won't recoil as bad when you try to pull crazy shit that makes you look like a slave driver.

Anyone? ;_; pls respond

>>10519860

Thank you! You just made my weekend.

>>10519854
A lot of fucked up shit.

From the top of my head, the two things that stand out the most: she had to carry a rickshaw around Tokyo, full of her disks, to distribute them by hand from record store to record store - but she had to do it in lingerie. Very slutty, purple lingerie.

And the second thing, to promote her record, she had handshake events... but they weren't handshake events. They were hug events. Said hug events led her parents to disown her.

Oh, and now that I recall, she also did PR in her slutty lingerie all around Japan. They even had her hitchhike. All because Yasusu told her she had to sell 10k records during the first month of her single debut (that is, way back when AKB didn't sell for shit), or he'd get her to quit. Or graduate, or however you wanna call it.

>>10519873
Oh, and she also had to sleep by the side of the road, on a sleeping bag, in her slutty lingerie. But that was because the director who was filming her PR campaign fucked up the instructions and they didn't have any way to get to the hotel. But still.

>>10519860
>30.5k/s
Man, I fucking HATE youku...

http://nogizaka-journal.com/archives/nogizaka-birthday-makuhari-ichiki.html

>>10519873
>>10519883
What the heck? And she agreed to do that because she was young and naive and thought stuff like that won't make it impossible for her to ever have a real career?
And her parents disowned her not for walking around in lingerie but for "hugging"? What kind of hugs were that?

Also, do you happen to have images at hand?

>>10519934
It's all documented in early AKBINGO episodes, all of which are subtitled.

>>10519934
She was 25 back then

>>10519934
Thanks, I'll try to find the right ones.

>>10519941
So she was just being a good obedient Japanese?

>>10519934
They were hugs in slutty lingerie.

>>10519943
>So she was just being a good obedient Japanese?
She wanted solo song, so she got one. It's just a case of "Be Careful What You Wish For"

>>10519947
>They were hugs in slutty lingerie.
Oh god, are you joking?

>>10519943
I had a quick look through gozua's archive on dailymotion, it seems to run in parts from 25/08/2008 to 27/11/2008. At least she got a huge amount of screentime out of it.

>>10519975
>>10519973
well then, aren't we nice?

>>10519958
nope.

>>10519943
Just found them for you.

21 to 26 of 0ji59fun and 1 to 9 of AKBINGO have segments of the whole Ohori Meshibe thing around the end of each episode.

It gives me so much pleasure that the girls are beating the boybands in the charts.

>>10519883
That is hilarious.

>>10521456
I just watched the first relevant episode of 0ji59fun, where they give a summary of her career so far.
It's really kind of sad. She wanted to become an idol, but didn't get in until she was really old.
Then she only got to dance at a very bad position and wasn't in any singles.
At a handshake event, she didn't have any people lining up for her and after one of Mayuyu's creeps made fun of her, she started to cry.
Eventually she got some attention by sheer luck and they used her for lewd gravure and made her perform in a skimpy bikini.
Then when she got too old, this deal was offered to her.

>>10521552
So what will happen with her photobook?
Is there a de-cp'ed version?

>>10521513
How many old men did she offer herself to for a better position?

>>10521566
Thats Kojiharu not Chiyuu~.
Also, they cancelled Chiyuu's PB.

>>10521587
Damn, arr rook same.

Has she done porn?

>>10521843
Nah.

But SDN shows were sexy by nature.

I'm waiting for a double-dokkiri where the girls actually know what's up and pranks the crew/hosts in the end.

>>10521843
It was actually uncomfortable for me to watch this. This whore image didn't really fit with the rest of the idols.

>>10521580
Not enough, apparently

>>10522903

Fuck. Every time I tell myself that I'm done being a Mayu oshi I see stuff like this and my heart melts again.

What's lewd about an idol hugging a plush alpaca?

>>10523032
W Watanabe is the best.

>>10523075
I don't know what. It just kinda is.

>>10523260
I've been wondering if Japanese girls realize how phallic that mushroom mascot that got popular is. I guess you can add the alpaca craze too.

I thought sotsugyou was an album by kayne west

You'd like to always fight to be #1 yet be hated by management, thus staying always in #2 and practically never in the center, always relegated to presenter but never as the star?

>>10524012
She's really talented though. Anything that you need a personality for you can throw her in and she does it well. Acting, variety, you name it and she can do it. There's a reason she has a huge fanbase after all.

>>10524016
Oh, no doubt about that.

But still, she's hated by management, thus staying always in #2 and practically never in the center, always relegated to presenter but never the star.

>>10524033
It's okay to be hated by the management and yet loved by fans.

>>10524290
Oh, come on...

Please don't make me watch Kousagi dojo... Miichan broke my heart...

>>10523260
Basically the gif is not the problem.
Its you, gutter brain.

>>10524033
I'm not sure if they really hate her or if she'd rather have more time for solo projects without the more restricting 'pure' image Acchan had.

24259 on 4th day... will it reach a million?

>>10524567
At this point it's very likely, since we haven't had the end-of-the-week sales bump yet and all.

>>10524567

I was expecting something higher than Eien's 4th day. Too bad. Maybe the wotas have realized what a bad song it is. Does oricon record sales from online stores like CD japan?

>>10524876
Depends on shop, HMV certainly reports sales to oricon, so I'm guessing CD Japan also.

So she could pretty much be counted as part of the SKE9 as far as reasons come (other than Kuumin), huh?

>>10524888

Should I feel bad that I don't know who she is and I don't care?

>>10524921

The slut is back.

>>10524980
Eh, speculation of her making that very exact comeback was around for months.

Hopefully her career will be as dry as Aya Hirano's from now on. And eventually, AV.

>>10524921
If you care about NMB you probably should. She was the highest ranked NMB girl after Sayanee and Milky in the last election and would've no doubt been even higher this year. Extremely versatile and cute.

>>10524949
I'm sorry.

>>10524992
Yep, looks like the Kuumin rumors might be true after all, despite her denying them.

>>10525053
That link is over a month old.

Kuumin explicitly denied that exact article that your link translates. She said something about rumors being scary, and that was clear about not wishing to return to the industry.

After all, the other 8 expressed dissatisfaction (in one way or another) and explained that they wanted more than what they got from SKE.

Kuumin, on the other hand, clearly stated that she was graduating because she wanted to travel around the world.

So get your facts straight, or at least try to get them fresh.

>>10525069
Specifically, this shit >>10525053 translates an article in menscyzo that was posted on january the 16th (the link is in the tumblr thing).

Kuumin replied on G+, on january the 19th, saying:
>皆さん、今噂がたっているようてすが
>私は卒業後に芸能活動を続けることはありません。
>噂って怖いどすのー(´・ω・｀)

So seriously, >>10525053, just shut up.

Also, man, fuck the 4chan spam filter. I've been trying to do everything to link the article and the g+ post, but this shit just won't allow it.

>>10525069
>That link is over a month old.
Yes, that's the whole point. They were right about Sugamoto rumors, so why lie about Kuumin?

>Kuumin explicitly denied that exact article that your link translates. She said something about rumors being scary, and that was clear about not wishing to return to the industry.

You think she would admit that she's actually gonna come back after a while she's still in SKE?

>Kuumin, on the other hand, clearly stated that she was graduating because she wanted to travel around the world.

Wanting to travel or study are generic excuses that everyone uses when they quit. Stop being such a fanboy and use your brains for a while. Look at what Erepyon did. Kuumin will be the same.

>>10525140
>They were right about Sugamoto rumors, so why lie about Kuumin?
Because Sugamoto specifically said she wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, and she also said she was taking cooking classes. The rumors were about her coming back as a cooking personality, not that she was lying in any way (other than, you know, sleeping around).

>You think she would admit that she's actually gonna come back after a while she's still in SKE?
Even electronic brain pancake crystal elderly?

Though I think I get the gist. And yes, many AKB graduates say they'll continue in the entertainment business while still waiting for their graduation. Kasai, for example.

>Look at what Erepyon did
Just because Erepyon didn't travel abroad, it doesn't mean Kuumin will have the same faith. And while Erepyon said she was going to study abroad, Kuumin was more general about it - she just said she wants to travel around with no preoccupation. And she's from Nagoya, her parents have enough money to pay for all the tourism she'll ever want.

So yeah, Erepyon said she wanted to study abroad while never saying anything about wishing to remain in the entertainment industry (and in the end, she said she didn't travel in the end because she had started missing the industry), whereas Kuumin has been very blunt about wishing to get away from public light. Unlike the other 8 SKE graduates, who are very blunt about wishing to keep on working on the spotlight.

Also, see >>10525134.

Pretty lewd episode of ANN.

Damn it Ainyan.. You have the best catchphrase of all the 48 members.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZCd2r10e7w

I was wondering why she had no presence in the Geinin! movie promos.

>>10525171
Kasai is essentially dead though.
Her voice is really terrible for singing live so her fanbase will mostly come from people who like her as a personality/hot chick and that's not really enough to sustain a career.

Why was I born a shitty gaijin and not in Fukuoka

Aww yeah, there's Hakata Hyakkaten next week too!

http://www.ntv.co.jp/program/detail/21818398.html

... tough wait. Shimada Haruka!? As in, Uruseeyo?! Are Mariko-sama, Kojiharu, Myao, Yuihan, Umeda, Kitarie, Amina, etc. really that busy? I mean, sure, Fresh Lemon I understand (and even then, she supposedly was covering for Umeda who in the end couldn't assist), but Shimada is on the same level as most HKT members. I mean, hell, Sakura ranked last year, unlike Shimada...

Not that I dislike Shimada or anything. At least she's not Shimazaki. But still, what the hell, Hakata Hyakkaten?

>>10529324
If they can't invite top members of AKB, they should get somebody from sister group.

>>10529362
They've already gotten Rena, Milky and Jurina.

... but Jurina and Milky count as AKB members too, huh... but yeah, still though, Rena.

>>10529324
She's not very popular, but she can be quite charming and she's pretty decent at talking. They can't rely on a top member coming every episode, that's what Sashii is there for.

>>10529576
I would love to see other lolicons in Hyakkaten

Thank you very much!
I want Mio, Aoi and Haruppi to be my imouto!

Where do you get those photos?

>>10533079
The AKB Theater. People post them on ebay and you can trade for them on some of the fan sites like HO! and stage48 I believe.

If you haven't watched Nogizaka tte Doko 72 yet /jp/, DO.

13 Nichi no Kinyobi, the coupling song for the B-type of Kimi no Na wa Kibou, had its MV unveiled this episode. And believe me, it's so, so much better than the single...

Kinda like with Yubi Bouenkyou and Seifuku no Mannequin, but I think I like 13 Nichi no Kinyobi even more than Yubi Bouenkyou. Or any previous Nogizaka song, for that matter.

Can't wait for the full MV to come out. Because it's not just the song, the MV is so fun and eye-catching... though it strangely looks kinda like the HKT Suki Suki Skip MV. Maybe because of the colors, I don't know.

But yeah, go fucking watch the latest Nogizaka tte Doko. Now.
