/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm going to miss her. She really did try her best at everything. I still remembered when she cried for Sae when she came back to Team K.

>>11342903

>remembered when she cried for Sae when she came back to Team K.

same but mostly because they wont be the TWIN TOWERS any more

i liked that she had the gorilla joke but they bullied her with it and they should have used her for other things

>>11343083
I think it's because she wasn't considered as cute as the other girls so she had to use that gorilla joke as a way to get fans. She even sort of talked about it on that AKBingo episode where they had real talks with normies and that fat chick kept going on and on about wanting to be an idol even though she's fat and not cute.

>>11343134
i can agree to that but they had such a better talent then what they realized they had

they are going to be super pissed they lost her because post-akb shes going to do amazing stuff and theyll regret it every time they see her for a new movie or fashion show

>>11343169
She's still signed to Office48

>>11343173
Still in DiVA too as I recall.

itano is probably going to get married not long after graduating and having a worse career

or go purely into fashion industry

Happy Birthday to funny girl, Ripopo.

>>11343470

Pleasure, I can see why those AVEX dogs disabled their comments. They know they will rouse the AKB48 and SDN48 Oshimen on how Korea has ripped another track and MV as their own inferior version

How's that Mariko anon holding up? Since you've been making threads with her in the image it makes me think you're still not over it

Which Mariko anon? There's many of us.

Graduation escapism Mariko anon here, I haven't been to the threads a lot lately (mostly due to being extremely busy), but I'm still not in terms with her graduation. I can't even bring myself to watch the AKBINGO Mariko graduation special...

Watching exclusively HKT & Nogi shows, since seeing post-Mariko AKB might make me feel that she really is gone, which I am not ready for.

>>11343920
cheer up anon-kun !
just because she is not in any songs does not mean she wont be at any akb events!

she will be all over tv now i hear she was in a toyota commerical and she was in those horror movies

she wont be going anywhere anytime soon youll see her lots

i love maririn ;-;

>>11343935
Isn't the Toyota CM and horror movies Acchan? Mariko will probably lead a normal life as a fashion designer, which means we won't hear much of her anymore.

>>11343954
>Isn't the Toyota CM and horror movies Acchan?
that was what i said

mariko will probably do some love movies mixed with fashion, maybe team up with itano now that shes graduating and start a clothing brand or something

her fans will suffer not seeing her as much but at least she will be happy and that is what we all want for her

>>11343954
Just ignore his posts. Seems like he is confusing himself.

>>11345476
Yukirin being cute aside, why is Paruru crying?

>>11345581
Because it's a terrible song.

>>11345581
Looks like Tomochin's graduation SP

Is Takamina really a godly, ultra caring person?

I always thought it was just the character that management wants to create for her because of her position in the group, but it seems like its too much. Especially the documentaries.

Or is it just part of her personality, and she's also like super egotistical at the same time?

She seems too perfect, just being a midget isn't enough divine punishment.

>>11345595
I think that Takamina is really a kind-hearted person, that's why most of the members like her, and also the fans.

Is Ryomaden worth watching?

Is there more like this for other members?

>>11342903
a literal manface

>>11345595
She's a really good person, but that doesn't mean she's a saint. I remember Acchan talking about how she loses her temper and gets annoyed sometimes. Seems like her long talks can get annoying sometimes, just watch the faces of the girls when she does her "tough" speeches.
But yeah, she's mostly genuinely kind.
>>11345630
I've seen a few different types for Jurina, so I'd assume everyone has a complete set.

>>11345639
>But yeah, she's mostly genuinely kind
You can't really know that, don't be so delusional. None of these idols are what they appear.

>>11345639
Thanks, I can't seem to find individual ones for them. A pity, considering how nice it looks.

>>11345639
>Seems like her long talks can get annoying sometimes, just watch the faces of the girls when she does her "tough" speeches.
This is pretty much the only "bad" thing I can say about her. I think there are girls who don't want to work as hard as her and that has probably soured them on her. And vice-versa. She has no tolerance for half-asses.

In general she's seems really sweet and, of course, an absolutely first-rate idol.

>>11345644
You're right, though. Everything is just how it "seems." No one knows but those closest to her, I'm sure.

>>11345657
>"seems."
Period comes after the quotation mark.

>>11345644
That's true, I just prefer to think as long as they're consistent in their image through everything (which Takamina is) it must have some resemblance to their natural personality.
>>11345647
Looking at this image, I think they might be from the CD booklet (but I don't have my copy to confirm).
Maybe someone has scanned them?

>>11345663
It doesn't need a period at all.

I appreciate how Harugon is probably the only member who took the overseas program as a growing experience and has grown fond of the host country, but sometimes the level of acclimatization gets me worried.

2. Converts to Islam
3. Graduates and ends up marrying a rich Indonesian guy, Dewi Sukarno-style

My hard drive failed this morning, almost a terabyte of shows, concerts, photos and music neatly organised and gathered over a period of years. All gone in the click of the fingers.

I think i might cry /jp/

>>11346062
We've probably all felt this at least once, I feel your pain. Anal as it sounds I now keep everything AKB related on 2 separate hard drives, so when one next fails I can just buy a new one and copy from the working drive.

>>11346062
Sorry to hear that anon, finding some of their older stuff again is going to be a pain.
Have you tried to recover it somehow?

>>11346062
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you really cared about most of that shit. 99% of it you were never going to watch/look at/listen to ever again. It hurt my perfectionist tendencies to try and rebuild my collection when that happened to me but realising most of it was junk helped a lot. Think really hard about the parts of that collection you really cared about and start again from there.

>>11346080
It's probably not worth paying for to be honest, my ratios on the two main trackers I use is good and >>11346090 is probably right. Whilst it might be more less than 99% junk I most likely don't need the bulk of the stuff on there again. Just depressing to see so much of my own life wasted in the creation of that directory.

I wonder if they're going to be some announcement today.

>>11346098
Undestandable, the only thing I'd be upset losing is my image collection. I find organising images really soothing for the some reason. I think I do it in order to stop myself from spending hundreds on photos.
Everything is out there anyway, so you might enjoy creating a perfect system with the stuff you really want.

>>11346109

>>11346119
>I find organising images really soothing for the some reason

I know the feeling, my flat is an utter tip but my computer files can't be anything but meticulously ordered. I can spend hours renaming files and moving things around to make it how I want and derive some sort of weird pleasure from it.

I really like Takamina, but I find her hard work speeches a little tiring.
The biggest factors in a girl's popularity are exposure and management push. Despite everyone saying oshihen is a huge taboo it seems like a lot of fans instantly drop girls for the new pushed favourite.
Takamina does work hard, but she's always been a favoured and privileged member, constantly in the spotlight. When you compare her situation to someone like Chikarina and her 600+ theater shows and constant positivity, who is less popular than a lot of KKS, I find her speeches to ring kind of hollow.

>>11346758
i like takamina's role as team manager i think it suits her well

>still in akb
>she can still go on tv
>still in top 10
>purpose to keep all girls unified / mentor role

the life of being takamina and shes a great nice person too, sucks her mom slept with her brothers friend who was underage....

fans who leave one girl for the next pushed girl are the worst people, i stay loyal no matter what good and bad!

As a fellow native spanish speaker: fuck you.

You ate apostrophes, are using some strange grammar that seems kinda like chinglish, are fucking up pronouns and aren't using punctuation signs correctly - what's more, your use of punctuation signs would be fucked up even in spanish. Your post would've been correctly written this way:

>I'm not a fan of Tomochin. Physically, she's not my type. But I understand her appeal.
>What I dont like is her personality. Acting like she is not interested on whatever is happening and bored, whether it's faked or not.
>However, I had to post that. We are here to discuss, right?

So do us all a favor and don't act so high and mighty when your english is middle school-tier at best. And to improve on your punctuation, seeing as how you apparently know spanish, go read some Garcia Marquez, Asturias, Allende... you know, the big latin american magical realism names. Maybe you'll be able to rightfully say you're writing properly after coming out of it.

>>11349295
Made a fb account just to vote for SKE. God I hope they win. Magical radio S2-3 should be subbed. It deserves to be subbed. NMB wouldn't be bad either as they have virtually nothing subbed. Makes me sad to think people will vote for HKT knowing that the half ass subs guy will be heading the subbing for them.

>>11349396
I'm Spanish but I think I've never used the semicolon in my entire life, and I do like to use a lot of punctuation marks, when necessary. I've always been told that a lot of punctuation marks make the text hard to read.

You really took your writing lessons seriously in school anon!

>>11349417
Don't be so hard.

>>11349417
lol why so butthurt. The only one I agree with you is
>Im not a fan of Tomochin, physically, its not my type,
I should have used a full stop there, but in the rest I think commas were enough to keep the sentences separated and at the same time not making it too hard to read, as >>11349429 has said.
About apostrophes, it was 3am and I thought they were dispensable to make a text understandable.

>>11349428
SKE! SKE! SKE!

>>11349465
Well, you're wrong.

And unlike apostrophes, semicolons ARE dispensable.

>>11349476
Punctuations marks arent dispensable, why are you treating semicolon like it's something else?

When he's not trying to be overly funny Half assed subs is decent enough. I hope HKT wins so they can sort out the mess that was Guild48 attempting to sub Hakata Hyakkaten S2.

>>11349498
The semicolon IS dispensable in modern english - no, in most modern languages. It can, in almost every single case, be replaced by either commas or periods. The only use it has left is in particular lists with elements that have commas already, and even in those the semicolon is being phased out by the period.

Only hipsters (and well, programmers, but we're talking human linguistics) use semicolons anymore. Not even writers, other than maybe 1%, use the semicolon since, like, a quarter of a century ago.

>>11349408
this means minegishi is the next to get the fuck out, right?

So, I shouldn't be using something because only hipsters do it?
There were commas, I needed a stronger separation, I used semicolon.

>>11349582
Follow the quote thread.

I never said you shouldn't use semicolons. I said, however, that going on about how you write properly when you clearly don't is an embarrassment.

I said semicolons are dispensable, not that they should never be used. That other punctuation marks have made it obsolete as the language evolved over the centuries. That using a semicolon instead of a period for the stronger separation you mention is hipster shit.

But I'm dropping the subject. The only way this shit is thread-related is my small collection of Nogizaka gifs.

But at least you're using apostrophes now.

>>11349582
This punctuation discussion is cracking me up. Comma-kun is my new favorite troll.

>>11349610
>a semicolon instead of a [cross]period[/cross] comma for the stronger separation you mention is hipster shit.
But, that's what they are for.
By the way, could you explain further how hipsters write, anon-sensei? I don't want to make similar mistakes in the future.

When in doubt use a comma. Don't even fucking try to use a semicolon because that makes you a hipster. I'm glad I practice my English on 4chan.

>>11349613
I'm trying to troll anyone, this guy is saying his opinion about semicolon usage is a fact.
>>11349668
Thank you. I will never use a semicolon again. I don't want to look like those things called hipsters

Objection! You can't start a sentence with the word 'but'!

>>11349732
>http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/conjunctions
>Starting a sentence with a conjunction

>You might have been taught that it’s not good English to start a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but. It’s not grammatically incorrect to do so, however, and many respected writers use conjunctions at the start of a sentence to create a dramatic or forceful effect. For example:

>What are the government’s chances of winning in court? And what are the consequences?

>Beginning a sentence with a conjunction can also be a useful way of conveying surprise:

>And are you really going?
But didn’t she tell you?

>It’s best not to overdo it, but there is no reason for completely avoiding the use of conjunctions at the start of sentences.

>>11349428
No idea who to message especially since my shit is in piratetalk. Just casted a bottle saying SGayE. Here's hoping we win!

>>11349771
My teacher once told me while speaking starting a sentence with and or but is fine but not when writing.

>>11349784
Your teacher was wrong.

>You could also refer to the fact that you’re in very good company (examples can be found in the work of writers such as Susan Sontag, Vladimir Nabokov, Kingsley Amis, P.G.

>>11349428
Crossing fingers for NMB, SKE is my favourite group but I'd much rather see some more Geinen! Their shows are subbed so rarely too
The episodes that have already been subbed of magical radio 2-3 weren't very good at all.

>>11349295
If someone here want to have one extra vote..

>>11349826
Vote SKE.

The subs out already for Magical Radio were by a different group anyway. there are subs out for SKE but after one release we don't get another one for ages

>>11349834
I don't even watch SKE or anything Aidol subs, so convince me.
Why should I?

I started watching Magical Radio S2 without subs, it's not that hard given the context but I get lost too often sadly.

>>11349854
Subs bring in new fans and keep them following the group.
SKE fans can be annoying, and HKT fans can be just in it for the lolis. Why not vote for the group that can bring in cooler fans? So vote for NMB, I've never seen an annoying NMB fan in this thread.

>>11349854
SKEs are cute. NMB reminds me of a lews Nogizaka and HKT is too new.
WMatsui is a strong force but they are not the only ones out there.

>>11349866
>>11349902
>NMB reminds me of a lews Nogizaka
NMB it is then

>>11349909
;_;

>>11349909
Thanks anon.
I'm expecting the outcome to be SKE, but it doesn't hurt to try. It'd be nice to see some more subbed stuff with Yui.

>>11349938
Yuihan is in NMB?

>>11350063
Was in NMB.

Do you think your oshi is still a virgin?

>>11350070
Okay, then NMB gets my vote, more Yuihan is always welcome

>>11350073

i cannot think of the words exactly
but yui has this persona about herself that excites a fire in me

i believe she is extremely smart with a touch of too smart for her own good which makes her hilarious i like to dub this as
>mariko-syndrome
she is super smart and will say anything anytime to get a laugh

bimyo episode yui consults paruru into being the only openly farting idol

Yuihan for best 9th gen!

Preliminary results are out.
SKE 191
NMB 83
HKT 203
Total: 477

>>11350147
I feel bad for NMB even though I prefer the other two anyway.

>>11350147
I'm only interested in Harupii but only because she's team A. My HKT boat does not float.

>>11350144
you got my full vote
>i like yui AND paruru
you do realize the pre-vote at the last senbatsu both girls were ranked like 7 or 8 or 8 or 9 i forget how it was but they WERE IN the top 10
but some of the older/longer girls got last minute votes and got bumped to 11 and 12 or 12 and 13

>>11343645
Miss her :(

>>11350207
I'm the fella rooting for SKE but it's fine. NMB is my second choice. I hope the work on stuff that includes Yuihan if NMB wins.

>>11350235
im more about individual members not as much as "teams" but it would be akb and barely ske the others really arent my time and i dont have the energy to care about 40 more girls i have to start back at stage 1 to learn about

best part of yui is from hometown!

Do they change the lyrics of "Team B oshi" every time Team B changes? I haven't find a live version of it after the shuffle in 2012 Tokyo Dome.

>>11350270
>Do they change the lyrics of "Team B oshi" every time Team B changes?
Yes

>>11350277
>one day we will no longer be sasechauzo'd.
I hope Yukirin is never changed to a different team. Same with Takamina and Yuko.

>>11350277
>>11350270

ok true or false
i need 100% accuracy on this answer

>DOES akb48 truely sing live or is it all lip sync'd

all i want to know is if its real singing live or if it is just an act

>>11350292
It's whatever you want it to be. No need to ruin any illusions you already know the answer to.

>>11350288
What kind of cute dress is that? I want it too!

>>11350277
Is there a live version with Umechan, Paruru, Kojiharu or Takeuchi?
I'd love to see one of those performing that song.

>>11350301

no! no! no! no! no! no! no!
thats not what i asked!
dont do this to me anon-kun~

>unfair! unfair!

youtube - watch?v=vhp1tyx-XAs
yui singing like a boss, its not like they cant sing! but why fake it live? hiding their true powerlevel is an act of mutiny

>>11350322
Look for theatre performance of B5 after shuffle

>>11349866
What about the guy who spammed the thread with Riichan's G+.

>>11348441
Why would you ever want this?

On another note, I really need to hear their Kinjirareta Futari.

>>11350323
I'll let you in on one thing. The girls that have releases singles sing live.

My package just arrived.

>>11350414
sweet now let me borrow them

>>11350407
... your teasing is the most evil'est answer you could have given i rather you have said "they lip sync" but instead you said "let your imagination be as it may"

>my heart is unrepairable

>>11350090
Dunno if she's really that smart. But she can study, passing that U-can thing is pretty impressive. I do know her admitting she was the sport-y type and would prefer to sleep in class so she could play after school. And apparently she loved playing basketball.

Girl is so endearing that way though.

>>11350323
This is AFAIK
1. Why bother wasting your energy singing live when you can lipsync?
2. AKB is, in case you haven't noticed, composed of a lot of people. 1 song can be performed by more than 20 girls, and I believe TV shows won't bother setting up 20/something mics just for a 5 minute performance. That's why they only go live for important shows (graduation stuff, new songs, etc).

>>11350427
i am not arguing that lip syncing is bad because if you sing pop music you basically have to lip sync

the question was on the basic principal of " yes or no do they really sing or not" that is all i wanted

not to mention japan's theater production is over the top so literally anything is possible

>>11350425
if this is the case, it might be that yui is so smart she is bored with school and sports excite her

i did not hear about u-can if you want to gist it for us/me would be great

she definately is endearing like that feeling you get when you see a girl who has a secret but you do not know what it is and you would do anything to unlock that secret

>>11350470
I basically implicated that they lipsync most of the times. Also if you can't discern lipsync and live you must be deaf or something.

>>11350484

i can
because they sing notes when they lip sync that if sung live they would most likely mess up and the audio sounds like a pure cd not grainy and live-like

not to mention most girls just dont sing in the background because they know they can get away with it

but the trickery is they turn the mics on and say random stuff during the song like YEAHYEAHYEAH and words like those

i am old enough to not be lied to like a child i just want to know the real deal

>>11350470
U-can is an educational company. There was a challenge that was themed "can someone as busy as an idol get a qualification of a registered pharmacist?" and that if she passes, anyone can do it. Yui stepped up to take this on and was able to prove so.

Here are related links for it if you're interested to know more about it:
http://www.u-can.co.jp/cm/2013/cm_gallery.html
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHCvlLgMfDZ8kNG_kwMcSAQ

>>11350495
oh i believe you i was just fascinated by what the story was

yui is a registered pharmacist she is a champion
see! she is a genius who is bored

>kyoto does it best

>>11350494
Well there you have it, they most of the time do lipsyncs because of a lot of factors: their numbers when performing, the amount of sound equipment needed for a performance, their choreography (like you can't really expect yourself to sing that well when you dance to Shuumatsu Not Yet which is dance heavy for example). When they do sing live, it's mostly when they are solo or there isn't much dancing involved in their song. In fact, there's only a number for AKB members that are recognised for their singing voice, the most notable are Iwasa Misaki, Sato Natsuki and Masuda Yuka who weren't even in senbatsu and two are out of the group already. Are some girls in senbatsu decent in singing? Yes, I'd say Takamina, Kojiharu and Yui are of the better sounding people in senbatsu.

http://48livesinging.tumblr.com/

>>11350521
> their choreography (like you can't really expect yourself to sing that well when you dance to Shuumatsu Not Yet which is dance heavy for example)

fully agree with that, that is why i posed the question if its real or not to see if they really are super athletes to sing like that while dancing

its the risk of : great dance routines vs accurate vocal lyricals

i am not mad or upset or anything i just wanted to know what the deal is

have you heard atsuka kuramochi singing? so soft and seemless she would make great for singing adult songs

Can you people show me good moments of Oshima Yuko being funny and showcasing her personality? I want to learn more of her

>>11350584

>>11350584

>>11350072

What's the name of Acchan's new drama?

So, should I watch Ryomaden or not, did anyone here even watch it?

>>11351120
I watch anything with idols but one fella already said it's boring so don't watch. I don't think I'll watch it.

>>11350400
>Why would you ever want this?
Why not? Are you gay?

What's the name of that on AKB girl who always has lewd videos on AKB's official YT channel?

>>11351135
Because Yuihan would destroy Paruru if you put them together.

How about a vid as an example. I rarely check youtube.

>>11351192
unless she was born with them ofc

>>11351184
you be the judge

>>11351207
I see double eyelids still. Of course she might have gotten eye enlargement or it could just be something as simple as eyelid glue.

>>11351184

was tomochin the most plastic akb member

thank god that ugly bitch left, not even surgeries can make her pretty

they were lacking as a team, and the management decided to make sourface paruru the face of it who had the personality of a dead fish. the first team 4 were destined to fail,

>>11347684
it must suck being a fat down syndrome girl in a country full of kawaii idols

>>11351977
yeah normal dudes wouldn't go near that thing

why are people so mad over the new team 4?

>>11351977
Now this is what means to be delusional.

>>11351997
cause miichan is the captain, honestly i think they are going to do good, miichan is good at variety shows and most of the other girls promoted are pretty talented and charming.

>>11351997
They disbanded a team which some people were fond of and now replace it with a bunch of KKS lead by a rule breaking captain.
I don't mind Miichan really, but she's never shown any capacity for leadership even though she's a first gen and would have had plenty of chances.

>>11351977
>19 years old
that would be pretty sad if it were true, she seems like the girl that gets rejected by guys she likes and only gets approached by creeps

>>11352006
that's what people said about sasshi when she moved to hkt look where she and hkt are now, dont judge just yet

>>11352013
Sashii didn't have as many chances to lead (being a later gen). Miichan gets the magical "FIrst gen" label and never did anything good with it.

>>11352006
>rule breaking
yawn

>>11352030
I know, right? She was just a fan of Sinéad O'Connor.

Did any of you catch Tomochin's last performace?

so are they really lesbian, or just for show?
I've learn not to trust anything I see

>>11352037
Catch it? It hasn't even happened yet. They're just showing clips from past birthday shows, Tomochin's graduation isn't for a few hours.

>>11352041
80% of SKE are lesbians.

Anyone know how longer it is going to be until her last performance?

>>11352043
Well fuck. I thought it has started already.

>>11352036

>>11352260
That's niconico's way of forcing you to pay a monthly fee to become a premium member if you want to keep watching popular streams.

>>11352260
Means exactly what it says. Just put the url for the stream in again until you get a spot.

I wish somebody streams it on JTV or some other outlet for the others who can't watch it.

Is anyone else watching the stream now?

Is he the guy who was doing the translator notes? Those were pretty neat.

>>11352488
Is that what the website is called? Google isn't finding it for me. Directs me to some website for a filipino bar called AKB 48 KTV bar.
Just what exactly is this anyways? Shouldn't AKB 48's name be under copyright?

There are lots of Japanese exchange students in the city that I live in. You always see the girls linking arms or holding hands with each other. I guess it's just more common for girls to be close like that there.
Or maybe they are all just super gay.

Funny how she's not even looking at the ball. Wonder what she's looking at such a crucial time.

Am I the only one watching Tomochin's graduation concert? Granted, living in Japan makes it easier to watch (it's on tv right now), but still.

I'm watching it on Nico too. Never really cared for Tomochin, but happy graduation!

Cover story on the Japan Times website. They really hate AKB over at that site, don't they? Not the first time I've seen a negative AKB article on the front page.

>>11353389
They generally have an anti-Japanese stance on everything, you should seriously read the rest of the site if you don't believe me. One of their pop culture columnists was also an evident K-pop shill whose knowledge of anything Japanese didn't extend past a few dubious tabloid articles, and I think the infamous "idols should form a labor union" article is also from there.
I hope they didn't get any of my money when I bought Genki I & II, since it turns out they're the publishers of those books. What a bunch of clown.
