VA school! Hang out with Hata-chan~

>>10829566
Problem is, if she's waiting tables, I don't think she'll be able to afford VA school.

>>10829553
>Nakaya Sayaka is working part-time, waiting tables.
I'd freaking eat there whenever she was around if I could.
I still think she should write some more, she's already been published at least once.

>>10829707

>>10829708

>>10829566
4chan won't let me post the link, but if you google "melos no michi nakaya sayaka' there's an interesting article from 2011 on her family's financial situation.
If her situation hasn't improved since then, I'm not sure she'd be able to do afford it.
>>10829707
That is seriously cute.

>>10829729
first result? from november 2011?
That's fucking depressing...

>>10829712
awww my TwinTower
Dammit Sayaka ;-;

I'm sorry but

>>10829813
this is

>>10829778
Being non-senbatsu can be depressing ;_;

>>10829817
Hilarious to me.

>>10829822
I know what you mean, but fans would probably hate it if they updated the costumes.
Weirdly, the shoes/socks are the thing that throws the costumes off for me.

Tomochin is so perfect.

>>10829813
>>10829817
>>10829822
I don't get it.

>>10829876
Same but I'm gonna guess they've been using the same outfits since the creation of time itself.

>>10829876
Not the anon posting it, but I'm assuming he's saying that most of them are adults now, so wearing the old costumes from years ago looks odd.
It's interesting how some outfits have aged so much and others haven't,like the Oogoe and Iiwake costumes still look fresh but some theatre outifts look horrible.

>>10829876
>>10829912
Yeah those where the original outfits from 7+ years ago, so the fact that they are no longer 14-15 (except mariko) but 20+ and still using them is funny to me.

>>10829926
I think they were pretty old fashioned when they were designed (I think they were going for an simple innocence kind of look) but the fact that those skirt hirari tops are a bit tight is kinda funny.
I would laugh so hard if Tomochin had to sing in this outfit.

>>10829923
Those yellow laces...But yeah the outfits for Iiwake maybe and Oogoe Diamond are among my favorites. Also the beginner and everyday Kachuusha

>>10829938
Oh god please, It would make my week.
That's Nyannyan right? lower left

>>10829945
Those boots are a bit odd in general now that I look at them more closely, they're strangely heavy looking.
I'm looking forward to watching SKE's budokan concert for the new costumes, I really like the super bright look (not for this image obviously, but some of the others). Plus Jurina in pants is always great.
>>10829957
That's Kayano Masuyama (I think?), Tomochin, Ono and Oku Manami.
I'd love to see NyanNyan in that outfit too.

>>10829851
she is, please japan kami7.

The members just met the 2nd gen for the first time today. Tomato mentioned that the 2nd gen member(pictured) will introduce herself after the performance.

>>10830514

>>10830644
Nao wants some tough love too.

>>10829729
Holy shit, she was a hikki. She's just like us! Man, if I had the money, I'd go to her restaurant and leave a fat tip.

B-but I don't want a 2nd gen of Nogizaka...

Is this how original AKB fans felt when team K arrived?

>>10831575
I don't know about original AKB fans, but the original AKB members DID feel like that, according to one of the documentaries.

>>10829729
She just released her second book but I don't know how much she makes from the sales.

>>10831951
500 yen

>>10831951
It's probably based on sales of course. So if you get her book, she probably gets a few yen. I'm sure it's less than >>10831972 though.

>>10830938
>Man, if I had the money, I'd go to her restaurant and leave a fat tip.
I just hope the local oshis who are doing that don't get her in trouble and/or embarrass the rest of us by being all nuts and shit.

>>10832084
So, peanuts, basically? Hopefully the tips for her part-time waiting gig are good.

>>10832541
Except Japan does not have a tipping culture. It's up to gaijin wotas to support her.

>>10832556
>Except Japan does not have a tipping culture.
That's exactly what I was afraid of. I'm afraid to even imagine what the heck she's eating these days.

Time to save up for those two books.

>>10829553
Torrenting majisuka gakuen season 1 and 2

Any opinions about it friends?

Bad acting, but great fun. Acchan has a lesser role in the 2nd one but copious amount of Jurina, Mayuyu and Yuihan screen time made up for it.

>>10832652
>not mention rena
get out pls.

>>10832713
This.

I watched MG1 for Gekikara.
Watched MG2 for Dance.

>>10832713
I liked her too (one of my favorites) but it was basically The Acchan Show so I just wanted them to be prepared for the 2nd season when she's not there.

>>10832603
Now that I think about it, it's weird to give people ¥ out of the blue. Perhaps a gift basket with fruits and Kobe beef would be better for her.

Kuumin is going to have so much time to spend with her boyfriend

>>10830644
That performance was very meh. Meru is often out of sync and it makes me wonder if it's her or everyone else. Probably her.

http://www.akb48.co.jp/about/members/

Are these the new member images? How bland...

>>10833360
Why is Kasai's picture still there?
I think the pictures overall look better than the previous set.

>>10833332
Or girlfirend

>>10832639
Lower your expectations and you shall enjoy it.

>>10833358
Singing isn't exactly her speciality, same with a number of the girls.

ふふふ。

>>10833360
The costumes are bland, but I think the hair stylist did a good job. I'm biased, but Jurina and Takamina look particularly good.
Sumire Sato looks amazingly cute. How come she never really took off?

>>10834020
Jurina is slowly losing her boyishness. Don't know how to feel about this.

>>10833537

Elaborate, please.

>>10834119
She was a member from SGayE.

Today's Nogizaka stage
Unfilled circles represent those who auditioned for that role
Filled circles represent those who got the role
Numbers represent those that got maid roles by the number of votes

Chiyuu~ is graduating today.

>>10834157

>>10834061
I'll be glad if she finds a good medium between boyishness and a girly character.
Jurina's actually pretty versatile, I don't know why some people seem to think she can't be center for a happy summer single.

>>10834119
A lot of her interviews and radio segments screams gay

>>10834208
She can pull the "happy" quite well, but she's not the best for a summer single. In AKB I'd rather put Mayuyu for summer single, but Mayuyu is just terrible for cool songs.

>>10834277
I'd rather have Jurina near the center than Paruru, I like Paruru but man her performance for Sayonara Crawl at budokan was terrible. It's not like she has been an idol for a few years now, you'd think she could at least hold a decently happy expression.
Mayuyu's failing at cool songs has always confused me, considering how she's fine at acting reasonably cool in Majisuka. I wonder if pulling a Miichan and wearing glasses might help.

>>10834020
>Sumire Sato looks amazingly cute. How come she never really took off?
Not enough pheromones in 3D? She's definitely my favorite (non-graduated) NO NAME, though.

http://www.akb48.co.jp/darekanotameni-en/

>>10834305
I'm new to this but that Paruru girl in Flying Get with Yukirin as the center was so dull. She was signing so far away from the mic it completely ruined the immersion.

>>10834810
I don't care what she did, I'm still gonna miss her and her pheromones...

>>10834810
I used to be fond of her, but somehow this is the graduation I've been the least upset about.
I'm not sure the whole idea of announcing your graduation and then sticking around for ages is a good idea, it means that the moment loses all its impact.
Like with Tomochin, now I know she'll be leaving having her in the election seems like a waste.

>>10834866
I'm more pissed at that guy for what the article said she was living in. I guess I'm just jelly for the cap and center.

>>10834913
The 4 million apartment? well it's not like those articles are the more reliable sources. But anyway even if that true I don't think Yuko or Takamina mind at all (I assume you meant those two by cap and center?)

Don't know if this is the place to ask, but why do people hate Gackt? What's he like?

>>10835009
I like Gackt. Or at least I don't dislike him.

I like Mana-sama better though. So fuck Gackt and fuck year Moi Dix Mois.

The one that should really fucking kill himself s Klaha, in any case.

>>10834950
Correct as for the jelly part I'm the one who's jelly in their place. I also think they don't mind. Takamina oshi so I want her to have anything and everything she wants.

>>10835041
Also a Minami Oshi, yeah I just want her to be happy and for her to continue asobina-ing

>>10834259
A lot of her actions screams gay.

>>10835092
What does asobina mean?

I can't believe Haruppi got tossed aside
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZzLyl0OfbM

>>10834810
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHQbmWAN1c

>>10835867
To take it easy.

You really have to go watch the 2013 new years prank episode of AKBINGO.

>>10835871
Well, to be honest she wasn't the most popular/successful center. As nice a girl as Haruppi is, HKT needed someone fresh.

First introduced Nogizaka 2nd gen member:
http://www.nogizaka46.com/2kisei_profile/profile/watanabemiria.html

>>10835941
>1999
UNF

... is the video all the way down not working, or is it just me?

>>10835893
HKT was formed around 2011 and they released their 1st single just 2 months ago. So, how can they say that she's not popular when HKT had barely any exposure. It just doesn't seem fair.

>>10835966
She wasn't relatively popular compared to the other girls in HKT either (and still isn't to a certain extent).

As a center, she didn't really seem to lead the group to exposure and glory. She's a nice girl, but her achievements as center were pretty limited.

>>10835886
I'd love to. What's the episode number? Like actual number shown on Daily Motion. I don't understand the numbers given in the torrents on H!O.

>>10836002
Sakura would make a better center than Meru though. I was surprised that Meru came out of nowhere to be center.

>>10836057
I don't know about that. Sakura can't really sing or anything. She is more of a just "stand there and be cute" kind of girl.

>>10835941
http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/akb48/news/f-et-tp0-20130503-1121763.html
>『みーちゃん』って呼んでください

She needs to find a better nickname.

So what's everybody's opinion about the stage?
Noujou running for the detective is a good choice, she always had this manly vibe. Too bad Asuka didn't get her role, would've been fun watching the pair(These two roles seem to have the largest number of lines). Though it is quite hard to win against Ikoma when Sawamura is such a tailor-made role for her.

I don't know how to feel about Ikuta getting Sakae without any competition. Maybe other members that wanted to run for it were discouraged when she announced her intended role. Himetan and Misasa winning against regular senbatsu members must've been satisfying.

Some are saying that Kazumin cheated by appealing to the audience when she should be displaying how she is suited for the role.

>>10836043
I'm pretty sure the numbers are airing dates for each episode, like 130301 would be an episode that aired in year 2013, month 3, day 1.

>>10836043
222

>>10836057
>I was surprised that Meru came out of nowhere to be center
She didn't.

Yasusu had said Meru was like the second coming of Jurina, or something like that. A couple of months later, she was given the center.

>>10836089
But neither can Meru... If anything, I'd rather have Moripo as center.

Who remembers this show?

>>10836186
Chanponzu?

I only saw it in AKBINGO. Where's your screenshot from?

This episode of Odekake was a nightmare, man...

>>10836002
I haven't been following HKT for very long, so I'm not entirely sure about the popularity of the members. Aside from Sakura, which other members are more popular than Haruppi?
Meru was pushed by managment, but is she particuarly popular among fans?

>>10836547
In terms of overall popularity, I'd say Haruppi is probably in the top 7 or so. Meru isn't particularly more popular than Haruppi, I would say they are around the same, and it isn't really guaranteed either of them will even rank in the election.

>>10836204
The show's name is in the top left, top center, and top right.

Also the caption says kick off.

New Bad Boys J is out~ Fun episode. Tomochin got more screen time and lines.

>>10836696
And by new I mean the subs for the third episode are out in English in Asiatorrents.

>>10829553
>Nakaya Sayaka is working part-time, waiting tables. After the Milky Holmes fiasco, she's not sure if she should get into a VA agency or a VA school.
I've actually been waiting for an update. I'm rooting for her.

>>10836186
I watched it purely for the uniforms

>>10834259

Link please.

SKE sure is dead.

>>10836186
Sayaka must have been happy in this costume. She really likes frilly, girlish things but her body type doesn't work for it. Alas, she can only be the cool idol and not the cute idol.

I still think she's cute though.

>>10836947
I've been meaning to bring this up but if the Idolmaster girls were to be paired up with the AKB girls who would be with who. The way you put it Sayaka and Makoto would be a pair.

>>10836186
Man, G.I. Goro was a great show. I miss it.

>>10837020
Sae would be Makoto.
Sayaka would be... a mix between Makoto and Hibiki.

Takamina would be Ryo.

>>10837052
That seems backwards. I see Sae as a girl but Sayaka is a bit more manly.

Explain Takamina as Ryo with out the man jokes.

>>10837052
>Takamina would be Ryo.
who is tha..
>Ryo Akizuki is actually a boy trying to pass himself as a female idol , and keeps that a secret from the other idols.
ok I laughed...poor Takamina she'll never escape that image.

>Explain Takamina as Ryo

>with out the man jokes
way to ruin the fun.

found this: "「Graduation」, that’s the first thing I was concerned about for this year’s General Election for which I candidated. I really felt anxious and unsure about this year’s General Election, but thanks to everyone’s support I could overcome that. And I’m also thankful for being been able to get friends.「Change of Generation」, it’s the word I’ve been hearing a lot this year…. I was able to make a lot of wonderful friends during about 7 and half years as part of AKB48, but also we were able to get a lot of “junior members”. With that said, I was thinking that it’d be good if, for this year General Election, I’d take a step back, also as a first generation member, and watch over them. ……..OR SO I THOUGHT! Mine is a certain victory!"
When I watched the first time I had to pause it. Those where the most agonizing 30sec. But still, that's such a foreshadowing speech.

>>10839923

I both love and hate election season. On the one hand, it brings out the competitive spirit and it's great when your favorite girls all succeed.

However, when one has so many girls that one likes, it becomes a pain. You know at least one of them will decline in comparison to last year and it'll be a blow to their spirit. That's what makes election season a blessing and a curse at the same time.

>>10838229
Japan is so weird sometimes. Maybe that's their charm.

Man, Chiharun really showed what she's made of in Nogikoko. She really deserved that win against Matsumura in yesterday's election.

Dude, would you happen to have the files?

I fucking hate brightcove. It refuses to buffer, gives me shit speed (like, 50k/s when I can download at over 500k/s) and changes to shit quality when the shit speed it gives me isn't enough to stream without stopping. AND you can't download it unless you capture the packets, something I can't do because, again, it turns to shit quality after a while.

I haven't been able to watch Nogikoko after episode 18. I only managed to see Ichiki failing her jump before my video turned to 1-inch-per-pixel shit.

Sorry, I just streamed. Couldn't find a way to download off brightcove(nothing in cache). Try watching it late at night when your neighbours aren't streaming their shit, it's around 4am here and I get acceptable speed, only stuttered when I tried to seek.

>>10840698
My neighbours have nothing to do with my internet speed.

You can't scrape brightcove videos from your cache because brightcove videos aren't saved locally. They're streamed literally (like if you had your cable TV connected to your PC), hence why it doesn't buffer. There are only two ways to save brightcove video: you can either screencap your stream or capture the packets that are being sent to you from brightcove in real time, while running the stream.

I can't do either. Or well, I could, but I'd get blocky, horrible video because, again, brightcove refuses to give me a nice download speed and then automatically serves me 240p (or maybe less, youtube has 144p now so who knows what brightcove might dablle with), most likely because I'm in america and the file is in japan, or something along those lines.

Who wouldn't support Sasshi? She's horny as fuck.

Anyone else liked KKs video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Unq3HvA0_w

I hope she ranks again this year.

>>10841144

I remember Stage48 did their sousenkyo a while back where you could both positive and negative votes. KK came in last with the highest number of negative votes.

Why?

>>10841197
I don't know, I've always found her charming ever since I first noticed her in the Janken tournament and AKBingo.

But she has a lot of haters apparently.

I need a nice Acchan wallpaper.

>>10841315

>>10841476

>>10841476
I think there's a sniper out the window

>>10841523
Just Golgo 13 protecting his Oshi.

>>10841197
>>10841218
She doesn't like gaijin fans and so they don't like her right back.

Or at least that's how the attendees interpreted it when she was bitchy or just distant to their faces at first and ended up walking out of the handshake session altogether in France.

>>10841672
Maybe she just doesn't like frogs?

>>10841719
She was probably expecting some charming, white French guys like in the dramas and movies but instead saw some blacks and brownies.

So what will you guys do when you tune into the election and see Paruru at #1?

>>10842749
>implying that would ever happen

I mean she's obviously getting a big push from management but Mayuyu or Yuko are still the top contenders for 1st place.

>>10842749
Start laughing.

>>10842762
>implying they haven't rigged contests and voting before

Winning janken using only rock the whole time? Hashire Penguin getting #1 at Request Hour? You can't tell me those weren't rigged.

>>10842770
>Winning janken using only rock the whole time?

Somebody hasn't been paying attention.

>>10842775

Okay, my memory messed up and it was scissors, not rock. Point still stands though.

>>10842785
No, it doesn't. She was tied once and chose something else. Hashire Penguin got number one because wotas wanted Team 4 to be remembered.

>>10842770
>>10842775
>>10842785
>>10842790
Speaking of janken, who do you guys want to win this year?

>>10842790
But Team4 was dissolved because they had no fans.

>>10842828
Mariko. Although, having Maachun center would be amusing.

>>10842834
They didn't know what they had until they lost it. Same with SDN.

>>10842828
If only Sayaka wasn't graduating...

>>10842749
That would be a jump from 14,000 votes to 100,000 votes. I don't care what kind of push she is getting, that wouldn't happen.

>tfw Hirari is seriously growing on you

It's the damn English gimmick that's doing it.

>>10843070
The English language speakers are living vicariously as an AKB idol through her.

>>10842828
Shimada. Or if Akarin or Churi managed a series of miracles, that would make my year.
>>10842977
I think it can be done, but handshake numbers certainly don't indicate that it will happen.

Baka Center for Janken Center?

>>10843305
Only if she brings Haste and Waste along to the tournament, which I'm sure she will.

Matsubara Natsumi is graduating.

>>10843741
Source?

Anyway, it's not surprising.

>>10843741
Last year's election was really hard on her.

>>10843741
It's not suprising, but it is a little sad. I always found it strange how she's one of the most attractive girls, but has so few fans.
Did that Janken video thing completely screw her popularity?

>>10844158

Thank you. 2nd gen is going down ;_;

Y'know, at the rate at which the older gens are graduating this year, I'm kinda expecting a big name member to announce theirs at Nissan Stadium.

>>10844206
Any predictions?
With the whole signing up for candidacy thing, it'd look bad to announce graduation straight after the elections. Everyone would probably understand if Yuko left though.

>>10842828
Kojiharu pls.

>>10843741
>>10844150
Oh God my 2nd gen, time to cry again at Kasai's new vid.
>>10844206
Maybe NyanNyan or Yuko. Tho I kinda want all the remaining 1 gens to announce their graduation together, it would be such a chaos.

>>10844227
>>10844245
>>10844206
I'm starting to imagine Yuko's election speech also being a graduation announcement.

>>10842828
Rena or Churi winning would make me incredibly happy. To see an SKE member that's not Jurina at center for one of AKB's singles would be damn sweet in my opinion. Not trying to sound like I dislike Jurina or anything like that.

>>10844293
Jurina's my oshi, but I'd rather see another SKE member at the center for janken.
With concurrency, I guess that means Nao has automatic entry. It'd be pretty cool to see her at center, although I'd prefer one of the older SKE.

>>10844269
thought her appeal video from last year was kind of pre-graduation announcement, but then she said it wasn't. And it feels like recently she and other old gen members have changed their view and are now trying to enjoying most of their time and having fun., so I believe a graduation announcement is very likely at this point.

>>10844315
Same here, I don't want to see Jurina as center in Janken since the point of Janken is having someone who can't get center with it.

I'd love to see one of the newer gens get center, like Miyupon.

>>10843741
This made me sad. I wonder how Shiichan feels.

>>10844206
You can almost feel Yuko wanting to leave. After Acchan left, she lost her drive.

>>10844468
>I wonder how Shiichan feels.
She's probably fine with it.

>>10840778
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Dumped the streams with rtmpdump(using rtmpsrv), first episode(technically the 19th) uploaded.
http://www.mediafire.com/?x1paffp6d59wzl8
http://www.mediafire.com/?qodr7ke47fkecpd

At least from my experience rtmpsrv seems to be immune to brightcove changing the video quality, maybe you can try using it to download. It'll certainly be faster than my slow upload speed.

Hoping for Seitan to finally get a role in tomorrow's stage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV5yY47c3bo
anybody see this? Yukirin is soooooooo lewddddddddddddddd lolololololollolol

Sasshi is lewder for laughing at it.

>>10845274
I don't get it. I looked down her shirt but that's on me so no lewdness other than my wandering eyes.

It's a continuation of her previous video:

She has her own business? Tell me more.

Before anybody replies to those 2 morons you should realized that by doing so, you will spawn a stupid war on who is better which will lead into shit posting that will last a few thread to cease.

>>10845265
You're the man! Thanks!

... but I can't seem to make rtmpsrv work. Let me see if I get the way to do it right:
1 - First, I have to direct the RTMP traffic to my 1935 port through
>iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT
2 - Then, I have to start rtmpsrv.
3 - After starting rtmpsrv, I have to start running the brightcove stream.
4 - rtmpsrv will give me a rtmpdump command I should paste on my terminal
5 - Then I just have to wait for it to download.

Is that correct?

I've done the first 3 steps, but rtmpsrv doesn't give me any rtmpdump command to paste...

>>10838493
>I live in Arizona
I'm sorry

>>10845488
You need to append && rtmpsrv to your command, see this http://koroshiyaitchy.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/how-to-download-streaming-media-with-rtmpdump/

I actually just used http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmp_dump_helper.html to download it, not sure if there's a similar program for linux.

>>10845410
Her self introduction is cute

>>10845274
What the hell are they doing to Yukirin's image?

>>10845535
It's working now. Or well, at least rtmpsrv is.

I don't know why it didn't work before. Running
>iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT
followed by
>rtmpsrv
is the same as
>iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp –dport 1935 -j REDIRECT && rtmpsrv

Sadly though, I have the same problem as before: it gives me shit quality. The video you uploaded is also worse than the best quality, by the way. Pic related.

>>10845832
Oh, and by the way, even though they aren't the best that brightcove serves for nogikoko, I can live with 360p files.

So... if you could share the other 3 episodes, I'd really, really appreciate it, >>10845265

>>10845758
IKR? It's going to complete shit hole lol

>>10845274
I don't see the lewdness, it was kind of cute. Moreover, what was she eating? it looked tasty.

>>10845985
Nagaimo.

>>10845274
>>10845985
I can see where one could see the lewdness, but that was going into it with the lewdness in mind already, otherwise, it's not lewd at all since she's not eating that in any lewd way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bL3_kZufd4
Mm i love annins voiceeee

Loved today's episode of Nogidoko. Nothing beats idols talking smack about each other.

I bet Reika fucked Manatsu's shit after the recording. I don't see the difference between "the shape of her ears is no good" and "my ears are droopy".

Also, Kazumin said she's masking her voice because her real voice is too low in pitch. But I don't see how a funny as fuck voice is better than a somewhat low voice...

>>10846145
Forgot the screenshot.

So how much do we think paruru will go up this year?

>>10846148
She's gonna be pushed to #8.

>>10846148
I've seen some people saying she will be kami 7 but I have a hard time seeing that.

>>10846148
>>10846151
Well with last year janken and this year request over I could see her being pushed into the single digits with little "help" from management.

>>10846209

Go back to tumblr, moron.

>>10846209
>little "help" from management
I just imagined Aki-P sitting at home in his boxers, a Paruru-oshi towel on his shoulders, inputting voting codes from hundreds of CDs into the voting system.

(By the way, you probably meant "a little help". "Little help" means something like "barely any help", while "a little help" is more like "some help". Small difference in wording, quite a lot of difference in meaning there.)

>>10846227
What did he say that belongs in tumblr?

gb2/sleep/, Yasusu.

>>10846235
Yeah, I meant "a little help". I'm Sleepy.

How's Minegishi Minami?

>>10846308

>>10846308
Are you talking about how she's feeling/doing now or about her personality?

>>10846331
I'm talking about how she's feeling/doing now.

Annoying.

>>10846339
Well. She's been doing the kks's show and it's still participating in some concerts. Also being featured in some magazine's covers and talking about the stuff that happened. She does have the support of most of the members so it's not like she was alienated or anything. But she is much more subdued overall.

>>10846382
Glad to hear that. When I saw her video crying, it made me sad.

but a word of warning: I don't know how things are in linux, but just ran
>cpan install Data::AMF::Packet
and it installed a million dependencies, then failed to make.
https://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/wiki/CPANGuide

You're a scholar and a gentleman.

Have something from before the split, commemorating the new season.

>>10846473
Same thing that America teaches their kids.

>>10846603
Don't think the program actually works, or I'm missing some dependencies(just force installed Data::AMF::Packet).

Anyway, next course of action is to check the path of the file on brightcove's server and try modifying the parameters/filename to see if you can get the 480p ver. Don't know how that jpon.us guy did it.

>>10846683
I'm downloading the files you uploaded first. I've spent way too much time on the terminal today, and I'm watching anime.

I'll try to install get-flash-videos tomorrow, and try to see if it still gives me shit quality. I did manage to get 360p once in episode 19 too through rtmpdump, but episode 20, at best, gave me... I think 268p, or something weird like that

Also, I think the jpon.us dude managed to get 480p video because he lives in asia, or maybe even japan, so brightcove served him 480p video, which he then dumped. Though I'm just assuming, of course.

>>10846731
>>10846683
Oh, also, I just read your cmd, and... maybe you could try feeding the library the bcove.me link instead of the nogizaka46.com link?

The only perl I've ever used was a dice bot for IRC, but maybe this library is implemented somewhat like the viewtube userscript, which depends on the address to know how to act? It's always worth a try, I'd say...

Kasuka no Kanojo episode 4 subs are out on asia torrents.
I've really been enjoying this drama, anyone else liking it?

>>10846731
Using the bcove link results in the program using its generic method, which fails to find the url.

The video sizes through my console output varies between 360p, 268p, and 244p when running rtmpsuck(which produced corrupt files, so I switched to srv which consistently produced playable 360p). Never received any 480p, so I guess it's a location thing. So... proxy?

Keeping on-topic, doesn't this 2nd gen look like Matsui Rena?

>>10846837
Not really. But she somehow reminds me of Kuriyama Chiaki in Kill Bill.

>>10846843
I dig Acchan's bitchiness.

>>10846417
This actually made me worry. Can we get a wota bodyguard for Sakura?

>>10846843
Any more stuff featuring the AKB girls that's not Majiska Gakuen?

>>10846983
With multiple members? There's Sakura kara no Tegami (which I hated, but you might enjoy), Mendol (starring no3b) and those So Long dramas. Bakaleya has team 4 members and SKE's Mousou Deka is great.
I don't really watch solo members dramas, so I can only say that Sabadol is good in a cheesy way.
I've only listed subbed dramas, so I'm sure that the people who speak Japanese have a better grasp of individual members dramas as they don't always have complete subs.

>>10847020
Solo members is fine as long as they have a relevant role. Currently enjoying Bad Boys J.

>>10847056
I've watched the first two episodes and gave up, does Tomochin get a much heavier role in more recent episodes?

>>10847056
Kaeru no Ojou-sama it's great and Yuko is adorable there. She's also one of the main characters.

>>10847068
In the third episode she seemed to be a proxyy between the boss of her gang and the second and third in command but didn't do much. She did have more screen time. Fourth episode she didn't do much.
>>10847088
Thanks, I really want to watch Yuko stuff.

>>10847068
She does.

... I really should sub episodes 3 and 4 already. And I think 5 came out this week.

I know episode 3 is subbed, but the translation and styling is unacceptable...

>>10846843
Acchan is freaking delicious in it. She's so fucking hawt. Her acting isn't that bad either.

>>10846575
Just finished episode 22.

Seriously man, thank you. It was great. I always love to see my 3 favourite Nogizaka members (Hatanaka, Nojo and Tomato) trying their best.

>>10847096
That would be great anon! I watched the first two with some slightly dodgy subs, so maybe good subs would make me want to watch the show more.
It's one of the reasons I really hate half-assed subs, I understand that it's a joke but I think it stops other subbers from translating the shows he's already done.

http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4816539.html
Ranking of female idols (mostly AKB) based on familiarity/interest. It's a bit old, but still really interesting. Paruru has overtaken alot of members in this, including Jurina and Rena (who are also on the rise compared to 2012).
Do you think this indicates anything about how casual votes will work this year?

>>10848473
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Casuals are not as passionate in voting as opposed to wotas anyway.

>>10848495
The father is Milky.

>>10846145
>Also, Kazumin said she's masking her voice because her real voice is too low in pitch. But I don't see how a funny as fuck voice is better than a somewhat low voice...
Yeah, I thought the way she usually talked WAS her natural voice, so "weird voice" would have been my first guess for her.

Hey guys, I've been a fairly casual AKB fan for the past few years, but I've recently made the final decision to really delve deep into it. I still need to discover my oshimen though. Yukirin was my "oshimen" as a casual just cause I thought she looked the best, but now I'm actually getting to know the girls now so that could easily change.

How did you decide your oshimen? Is there a handy site or something out there with detailed profiles of all the girls (more than simple "Likes: Shopping Dislikes: Lies" shit I see a lot of)? That way I can find one that interests me, then watch clips and stuff with them to see if I like them or not. Or does such a site not exist and I just have to watch tons of shows and clips and figure it out from there? The two main groups I'm focusing on are AKB and NMB.

>>10848678
Stage48 has info on the girls. Some more than others.
The short one inspired me to follow my dreams. I've been procrastinating for so long letting my talent go to waste I thought I'd finally use it to meet her.

>>10848678
>focusing on AKB and NMB
B-but SKE gets the best songs.

>>10848712
>The short one
lol. Takamina?

>>10848678
Start watching stage shows (starting from the first ones or going by teams), watch AKB no 1ji59fun -> 0ji59fun -> AKBINGO, and just follow your heart.

It's a bit more like oshidom chooses you than you choose an oshi. All of sudden you just notice you care for one more than for the rest.

>>10848678
I wouldn't stress about finding an oshi anon, don't feel like you have to choose one just to enjoy following AKB. Changing girls is fine too.
As >>10848911 said, you'll know who your true oshimen is naturally, it's not like you have to work at it.

;_;
Their last handshake event.

Never forget!

>>10848678
Like >>10848712 said, go look through Stage48 (and their wiki, Wiki48). The AKB48 group recently had a series of concerts in Budokan, there's a torrent of the Day 4 evening concert on H!O. AKB, SKE, NMB, HKT and even toilet break JKT all perform in it, you could watch that for starters.

>>10848834
You know it. I think there is another short one but she'll totally out grow Takamina.

>>10848267
I uploaded good subs for the first two episodes in previous threads. But here they are again.

>>10849115
Oshima Ryoka. She's 145cm. But yeah, she's still 14, so there's a lot of time for growth spurts. Though it would be amusing if she ends up having the same height as Yuko.

>>10849245
Thanks so much, I'll have to rewatch it with decent subs.

I have a feeling that this happens more and more often these days.

>>10849786
Chori? That's gives me heartbreak since she's so funny.

>>10849786
It's not more often than before. It's just the fate of 90% of the members of HKT and Nogizaka.

>>10849786

>>10850933
Previously, Love-tan cried at her low number of fans.

>>10850977
She mentioned, in her election video, how she had been feeling sad due to the handshake events where she bombed, but that she was seeing the election in a positive light.

I just noticed that the Team B Oshi song from the set list 2006-2007 album is different from the music video.

>>10851038
The music video is Umeda Chiimu B.

>>10851075
Wasn't it Yukirin's?

>>10851075
>>10851115
No Ume-chan in the vid or the set list. I don't think she was captain yet.

Speaking about losing hope, I seriously want Seitan to get elected. She didn't get any role at all in the 7 Akasaka stages so far, plus all 9 Parco stages. Last stage's situation of her running against Maiyan and Reika for Yoko was pretty much hopeless.

>>10846731
Tried dumping the year-end roast party episodes and got 480p. Think those are the only episodes uploaded in 480p, so you'll have to make do with 360p. Can't check ep1-9 because they're gone.

She says she's reaching for the top spot.

When did she get all this confidence? Maybe since she's going to graduate soon so she doesn't need to be worrying about much.

Who do you think will replace Hata/Shiori/Kuumin and Kitarie in the next SKE senbatsu? I'm pretty sure Minarun's gonna be in there, and MAYBE Furuhata Nao (cause she's so noice)

Kaotan is moving on up to the East side.

>>10852326
Yeah, I'm expecting Nao to get in, her concurrency seems to indicate she's going to be pushed.
Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for Yukko. SKE needs more unique girls, and she's top tier in looks/dance ability.

She has a nice voice and lost her toyboyish looks along the way.
