Is there a stream for Nagoya Dome?

>>11860180
No, but their manager is posting pics. >>11860157

>>11860148
Is there some kind of plan in putting the sister group single release dates so close together?

>>11860208
Seeing who gets the most sales when wota are forced to choose, maybe?

>>11860214
I was thinking it might be shuffle related, but you might be right.

Wow she gets a solo, and yet it won't be on the DVD...

>>11860208
To empty our wallets.

>>11860243
It's gonna be there. All of Sasshi's OshiMeshi not gonna make it tho.

>>11860196

Dang, never knew the mutt had some nice legs.

Also them thick Lovetan legs.

>>11860262
mutt?

Lovetan became especially beautiful over the past year, it's nice to see that she's slimmed out

>>11860265

Pay them no heed, they obviously have no taste if they think a mix of two very beautiful races is a "mutt"

>>11860259
I hope so... Sasshi said during the MC 佐賀はDVDに入らないから、皆好きな髪型にしようと！ which to me means no Saga DVD. But I really want to see this so I hope it makes it.

>>11860269
They could maybe make one of the CD just cuts of different performaces. Like the one in Tokyo Dome DVD.

25. Tsuyogari tokei (with Kitahara Rie)

SKE48 14th Single title is "Mirai to wa"
senbatsu: Rena, Jurina, Yuria, Kanon, Ryouha, Churi, Nao, Mizuho, Airin, Aya-chan, Minarun, AzumaRion, Anna, Masana, Akarin, Madoka.

>>11860378
>Madoka
Finally.

>>11860378
Geeze. It's releasing a week after HKT's 3rd, yet still no 3rd Senbatsu... seems weird to not reveal anything yet when it's only a month away.

>>11860644

Is it known when the Draft members will be debuting?

>>11860690
Team A draftees were on a NOTTV show dedicated to the draft members. Debut should be coming any day now.

>>11860661
Is that ok for her to take pictures like that?

>>11860706
It's more than ok. Dear God what a bod.

>>11860711
The perfect twosome.

>>11860711

Seems like perfect gf material.

>>11860791
I always love some Suzuran.

>perfect twosome
why didn't anyone say Mayuyu~ and Jurina !
>Nezumi and C.....
what was it again? oh right Center

no thanks

>>11860814

From Rena:

>Ended the first day Nagoya Dome. Thank you everyone. It's into words the feeling of now is too difficult, I think the answer to this feeling is wonder if leaving tomorrow. It is not only fun and happy, full of gratitude above all. I will do my best so as to be received for those who can not or venue, able to come tomorrow it.

does this mean shes graduating?

Back Row Oshi's are the only true AKBs and here's why:
Every member that becomes popular wanted to be something else. Whether it be an actress, or model, or solo singer, they had to 'settle' to become an idol after their dream didn't pan out. Back Rows are different. They never thought they'd be in show business. They are thrilled to just be there and will give it their all everyday just for the chance to be there one more day. They know that after they graduate it's over for them so they live each day to the fullest and cherish any fans that they do get.

>>11860994
Why are you replying to a ban evader as if he's not here just to troll you into giving a reply?

>>11860936
Wait for a decent translation anon, that could mean anything.

>>11860936
It means don't trust Google Translate or whoever is responsible for that translation.

This part
>I think the answer to this feeling is wonder if leaving tomorrow
actually translates as something like
>After tomorrow it might be easier for me to put my feelings into words.

But yeah, she might still announce her graduation tomorrow. This is Nagoya Dome after all. Be prepared for anything.

>>11860999
Rena wanted to leave for a while so while sad, it's not surprisingly. It would ruin my day if it were Churi or Airi.

>>11860994
You may have a point.

Rena is just upset because

>Jurina is moving to the big show, AKB
>Double Matsui is breaking up
>Rena doesn't want to be the lone leader of Team S

Back at Janken when Jurina won I had said if she wins she will be going to AKB

>Aim for the Center of The Center

>>11860994
I've started to feel the same. Yuuko wanting to be an actress has always been the thing bugging me the most about her. A good idol should want to be an idol, not an actress.

>>11860148
>AKB and related Japanese *48/46 groups welcome.
You fuckin added Nogi but keep a ban on JKT/SNH? Seriously, go suck a dick OP.

>>11861033
Nogi is a sister group AND Japanese.

>>11861033
I was like 'damn maybe there are good looking indonesians'. But then I googled and found out she's Japanese.

>>11861033
Fuck off shitskin.

>>11861033
It's not OP fault. And if you want to talk about foreign groups, there's plenty of other forums for you, just not here.

Maybe we should allow SNH. Their fans seem less annoying.

>>11861033
Why not just start your own thread?

So I can hide it.

>>11861051
They tried it before. It got deleted.

>>11861032
How strange- I'm the opposite. Members without goals bother me.
Apart from Yukirin, just because her solo lives are so good.
>>11861033
I don't really care either way, but you're better off just discussing it with people who are more interested.
It's /jp/ after all.

>>11861049
They literally make songs about working in sweat shops.

>>11861045
It's not a sister group, it's a rival group. Just because it was artificially invented doesn't make it a sister group. I might as well be talking about Momoclo and MM here. Your rules make that more allowed than JKT, which is perplexing to me.

>>11861053

>>11861058
They have their own threads.

>>11861058
>dirty clothes
>shitty made in china headphones that will fall apart in 1 week

pls stop

>>11861056
That's pretty funny. Reminds me of that New Year's show with all the low quality mascots.

>>11861061
>insulting something for being made in China
>The vast majority of things you own are made in China

>>11861063
Don't chinese ever feel bad about ripping off everything? Thousands of years old, billions of people, and they still have to import culture and technology.

>>11861073
>>11861058
>>>/cn/

>>11861058
Most people who like AKB are casually interested in Nogizaka (particularly in this thread I think), but I'm not sure the crossover is so high with overseas groups.
I don't think overseas groups should be against "the rules" either, it's more that lack of interest+people enjoying arguing/making racist jokes mean that it doesn't work well.

>>11860642
Churi got her wish, eh?

>>11861058
imagine if we allowed JKT. We will get a stigma of liking Asians. Do you want that? I certainly do not. No one here likes Asians. Just because they are intimating Japanese idols do not make them JAPANESE.

JKT48 has Aki Takajo and shes Japanese so technically JKT48 should be allowed

I think its harder to get into them because they do not have subtitles for their shows

>>11861055
It's not that goals in general bother me. You can be an idol and still have goals, like a world tour with your idol group. I'm sure that would be a challenging goal for Yuuko too. But if your goal is to leave your idol group to do your own thing instead, then that's something different.

>>11861117
I don't even know where to get raws. I didn't even know they had shows.

>>11861125
What? Idols have long been multi-talented. Acting for them is no big deal. Also, Aki-P even said to use AKB as a stepping stone to their dreams so I don't even know why this is even an issue for you.

>>11861125
I think you're missing the point of AKB, it's meant to be a stepping stone.
I vaguely remember Yuko saying that not having future goals meant that new gen (I think referring to old team 4) were far less motivated than the older generations.

http://www.acfun.tv/v/ac1021042

>>11861129
I know all that. But the thing I like most about AKB is that it's one big family, and as a family you should work towards a common goal and not just your own. It's no surprise though that Aki-P sees the thing from a more egocentrical perspective. He's a business man after all.

>>11861154
I tend to think of AKB more like a school than a family, you work hard to help out everyone but in the end you need to have some kind of dream to make yourself actually study and do your best.

>>11861151
Damnit, Kaotan!

I remember collecting lots of those little guys when I was a id

>>11860936
>ナゴヤドーム一日目終わりました。
The first day of the Nagoya Dome concert just ended.
>来てくださったみなさん、楽しみにしていてくださったみなさんありがとうございます。
Thank you to everyone who attended and looked forward to it.

>今の気持ちを言葉にするのは難しくて、明日が終わったら私の中でこの気持ちの答えが出るのかなと思っています。
Putting today's emotions into words is hard. Maybe by the end of tomorrow, I'll come up with an answer to those emotions within me.
>嬉しい楽しいだけじゃない、なにより感謝の気持ちでいっぱい。
It's not only joy and happiness, but also extreme gratitude.
>それを明日も会場や、来ることができない方に届くよう頑張ります。
Tomorrow too, I'll do my best so as to deliver it even to the people who can't come to the venue.

>>11861285
It's really happening, isn't it? I'm scared.

I guess >>11861022 was right the entire time...

>>11861301
What do you think will be her occupation after graduating? She's popular within the fandom but not so much outside of it. I'm not sure she has the pull of a leading actress.

>>11861331
I could see her working at a 7/11.

>>11861331
Neet COBOL programmer

>>11861400
Does she really know that? I thought it was just a joke.

>>11861400
It's too bad for her though that COBOL is one of the least NEETy languages.

>>11861402
I think she had it in school. It's not like she learned it in her free time.

Thats what I love about Takamina she would still hold rank even when she is 80 years old ranking in the top 100 best idols

Reason she is ranked 99th is because she outlived her fans so her rank kept slippping

>>11861285
Anxiety intensifies.
I really didn't she would graduate yet..
Holy shit SKE why you do this to me?

>>11861596
It's due to SKE's superb management that so many leave. I really wonder why it isn't them that gets fired.

>>11861596
Calm down, it looks like a standard thank-you post that the girls write at the end of concert performances.

>>11861636
This.

BBQ Nagoya Dome Backstage

This is pretty accurate.

>>11861757
What does the percentage mean?

>>11861741
RIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

>>11861757
I didn't start realizing how lowbrow Japanese tabloids are until I started reading them all the time.
Truly stuff for the plebs.

>>11861762
Basically some porn mag made a list of which people are virgin and which one are not based on some of their self-published rumors.

>>11861762
Probability of being a virgin

Team A
Takamina 50%　kawaei 80%　yuihan 50%　mayuyu 90%　iriyama 70%　sumire 60%　Haruppi70%

>>11861777
This is hilarious. Thank you for this.

>>11861777
>mayuyu 90%
>miorin99%
I know they are are full of it but this makes me happy for some reason

>>11861803
I'm surprised Mayuyu isn't 100%.

>>11861777
How did they come up with the numbers? This could be a break through.

>>11861777
>furuhata80%

What a relief.

Also, nice trips.

>Juri 80% Jurina 20%
Juri Takahashi is 20%
my Jurina is 80%
I will sleep soundly knowing this.

That tabloid is trash no one would bother reading that. If i want to know the answers I would ask myself

Moot's post on what to do about ban evaders.

>Many of these people evade their bans. We advise users to ignore (don't respond and hide them) and report these posts.

>>11861777
>Izurina99%

>>11861777
Is Mayuyu really that clear of any scandals? I remember FRIDAY saying they attempted to follow her around for an extended period of time and she literally did absolutely nothing questionable.

Why is Jurina's % so low? Do they think they she fucked management or something?

Izurina 99% wwwwwwwww. Is she good at singing or something and they use her as the real voice in recordings or something? Why is she even in AKB.

>>11861927

She's so adorable.

>Jurina 20%

So young to be impure.

>>11861963
She's getting further and further back in the senbatsu though. But then again so are a lot of people. Ikoma managed to get back up though.

>>11861971

Yeah, but I'm happy with the senbatsu because Maaya gets to shine now. If only Tomato got the same treatment.

>>11861977
Maybe the next single. Seems lately management is willing to add in some of the previously ignored UGs. Of course that means some of our old favorites are going to be demoted. :/ Good or bad thing depending who is your oshi.

I wanna get into AKB but I don't know where to start. Help?

Could have lost her virginity to a woman.

>>11861033
Fuck off to your circlejerk forums/Twitter, works better that way.

>>11861777
>Sakiko 0%
>Sasaki 50%
>Yagura 80%

>>11861982
Next single should be Tomato/Chiharu/Ichiki. God I hope Sayunyan is in again.

>>11862019
I would like to know what Sakiko did to get 0%. That's pretty funny.

>>11861033

JKT is so fucking bad why do you do this to yourself

>>11862019

>Tomato
Yesss

Poking around last fm, I see that EVERY listener for JKT48 is indonesian, they often have 5000+ plays for JKT, and little to none for AKB. I don't understand, do indonesians just have shit taste?

>>11862029
She's older than other members, maybe they think she's not a virgin when she entered. Not really convincing though, but she's pretty much scandal free.

>>11862047
Most but not all.
I'm Indonesian but I hate JKT

>>11861513
It says "99 years old" actually, not "99th place". Honorable General Manager.

>>11861777
Wow, I don't think even western magazines stoop so low as to discuss whether or not girls at such young ages are virgins or not. Japan pls.

>>11862109

Japan is weird

>>11862109
You sure about that? *cough*BritneySpearsJessicaSimpsonMileyCyrus*cough*

>>11862166
This would be like pondering about their virginity while they were still in mickey mouse club or some shit. Just that I see that 15yr old KSGK on the list, and its bugs me. Also western mags would straight up ask them in an interview.

>>11862166
here they just outright state they're virgins like a good christian

>>11862206
I don't like this.

>>11862029
There was a purikura picture of her holding some guy's hand.

>>11862245
Why don't you like Ryoha?

>>11862206
when is she getting a g+ account?

>>11862256
I like her. But this kind of photoshoot doesn't suit her. She fits in a more joyful and cheerful image.

Its from a tabloid so stop losing your shit.

>>11861933

>>11861934

Where do you think she learned to wink?
サービスでしょ！

Man, KomiHaru is so cute.

>dat smile

>>11862349
Her face is nightmare fuel.

Also she sure loves the camera. I wonder how Ariyoshi didn't flip his shit.

>>11862311
Does she really have a joyful and cheerful image? Isn't it just something like "Aw, shucks" where she just stands there acting cute while not particularly doing anything?

>>11862381
It might be more joker-like than even Jurina.

>>11862381
>>11862388
I already didn't like her before I saw her in motion, but now I know for sure.

Last one. Good night.

>>11862413
It's funny how "Aw shucks" describes her pretty well on camera. She seems to act a bit differently when she is comfortable.
A good example is her appearance in 1＋1は2じゃないよ! last week.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-4O-ybUz04

She's so darn cute.

You really think she would have lost center if she was putting out? The 30% is just there in case she got with some punk.

March 2014 issue of EX Max

>>11862692
I love how all the headlines on that cover involve celebrities having sex. What a gentleman magazine.

>>11861109
stupidity level unlimited
you say they're imitating? lol, go suck aki-p dick

>>11862899
Wait, you're saying they're NOT trying be Japanese? They took the idol idea from Aki-P since there was no such thing as idols in Indonesia. When they do their calls, the "K" in JKT stands for "Kawaii".

>>11861109
so Japanese aren't Asian?
#genius

>>11862916
it seems you know them very well
just because the word "kawaii" so you call them imitating, took idol idea from Aki-p, and trying to be japanese?

>>11862936
That and the fact that their songs are all translated from the Japanese ones. Suck for you that people like the original more, huh?

she can play guitar and piano very well

>>11862964
Who is that busu? Looks kind of like Michael Jackson.

>>11862959
I think all of 48fans want their original songs too. Even I don't understand their languange (and honestly japanese language too), their vocal is not bad as it seems.

>>11862692
From what I've remember they've used to post photos of secondary pants as a real genuine pantyshots

>>11862959
Stop making it big. You're just drawing more of them. Like the others have said if you deem it unrelated to the thread you could just report it. It clearly says on the OP what kind of discussion should be conducted in here.

>>11862995
I never said their vocals are bad but that wasn't the point. The point was the origin of their group.

>>11863014
Quite right but the thought that they think their precious idol group have nothing to do with Japan laughable so I had to speak up. Last post from me for this matter.

>>11862976
She's Jessica Vania

Apparently Yuko considers this HKT 3rd gen as her kid.

>>11863147
Nako is cute. Have you seen the picture of Kojiharu playing with them?

>>11863051
>the thought that they think their precious idol group have nothing to do with Japan

You just get wrong direction, we love their big sister too and says a big thanks for Aki-p for his great effort to introduce Japanese idol group culture over the world.

>>11862925
Indians and Russians are closer to Asia then japan. Why are they not considered Asian.

>>11863165
they've been posted in the last thread >>11846014

where's your backrow oshi's ?

Don't answer him
He called her ugly

Not going to lie, she pretty much is, plus ANYONE can play a 4 chord song its not that impressive i could teach Miori in half an hour

>>11863277
Shitposter as an Indonesian confirmed.

If Aki P never made any of the oversea groups, we'd never have this argument over shitposter. We should blame Aki P.

Matsubara Natsumi

>>11863450
I never understood why she wasn't more popular, she was one of the prettiest members around.

>>11863468
I don't understand either. I was going to try to help her rank this year but she graduated before I was able to.

How much longer til Nagoya dome day 2 starts? The wait is killing me. Just wanna get this over with already.

>>11863266
maybe some minutes ago he says ugly, but later is he still say that again? Everybody change their mind. Hating is confused admiration.

>>11863493
Didn't it just start? It's 4:12 PM JST.

>>11863468
>she was one of the prettiest members around.

Everyone's been saying this since forever.

>>11861033
its not banned. OP is just a faggot

lol, I laugh pretty hard. Japan is an Asian part too.

>>11863513
>memecenter
Are you serious?

Look, I won't ask Indonesians not to post here about the Japanese groups, because it's a free world after all, but can we at least have Indonesians that can speak in proper English? I can't even make sense of some of these posts... If you can't even speak English then why are you coming to an English message board? It doesn't make any sense to me...

>>11863520
Nobody cares.

>>11863542
Not him but I care since their bad English is annoying to read.

I miss Meetan

>>11863560
Nice. She did idol bowling last night. It was fun too.

>>11863546
Then don't read it.

>>11863566
It easier if they don't post their elementary level English in the first place.

>>11863468
Maybe wotas still hate her cause of what she said in the past

>>11863513
>butt ravaged Asian that wish he was Japanese detected.

>>11863629

>>11863657
Nice peen, Sayanee.

Damn.

>>11863657
That's probably not what she had in mind when she was told she'd get to do something with a guitar

>>11863672
>All them people riding unicycles
This displeases the Paruru.

>>11863693
Why would it displease her? She just found some unicycle friends.

>>11863697
Well it's like the only thing she was able to show off as a talent of hers. Now there is a whole plethora of SKE members showing how simple it can look.

So that's it? No announcements? Is Rena safe?

>>11863846
Yep, no announcements. Only draft members were introduced

;_;

>>11863848
Thank god.

Gentlemen. We have survived Nagoya Dome.

>>11863922
If she figures out hash tags before she makes 100 tweets I'll cut her some slack

>>11863922
What is she trying to do?

>>11863782
That 20 meter no-man's land between the stage and the crowd. They really don't want any incidents.

>>11863922
Yui is such a boss.

>>11863846
Quitting now would make no sense. She needs to become more of a household name before going off on her own. With jokerface gone things will get better for our girl.

>>11861934
So awkward I cringed. She doesn't know how to act cute and sexy because she's never been cute or sexy.

Nogibingo is the best thing to happen this year.

Misamisa for best big sister. Sayunyan for best little sister.

Also I'm glad Nagashima is getting time.

>>11863973
This. Jurina is like a robot. No emotions.

> I’m myself not a huge fan of kuma-san. I have no doubt he likes the members and cares for them, but apart from that he is pretty useless… and spineless. He never publicly stands for SKE48 nor does he go to confront Aki-P or whoever need to be when time calls for it… The interview reveals it clearly enough : he watched over the members individually, but not after SKE48 per se.
>I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to give him the title of nanny rather than manager　（/TДT)/
Methinks of the politics in my country.

>>11863977
Has Hori Miona been getting any screen time? She's so perfect. Like a doll.

>>11864018
I think they filmed her for a few seconds in the last episode. 0 lines though.

>>11863973

You haven't cringed until you've watched her try to make Hawaiians laugh.

>>11863973
+1

>>11864122
That part is really embarrassing. I had a hard time watching it

>>11864172
I'll have to watch it, I like that sort of feeling of tension.

I love ske but I was traumatized by that big band special. I recommend to not watch it.

Jurina has a twin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDt4yDAikVA

>>11864122
Not a bad episode. It could've used more of Yukirin's and Sayanee's tits though

>>11864207
It says cousin there, what are you talking about.

Just in case I'm replying to the ban evader, this is reported.

>>11864496
lol

This week all the girls went out for food depending on their position in senbatsu. Front members ate together, second row and so on.

>>11864018
For that specific ep or in general? She got a lot of screen time in ep 2 where it was 1st gen vs 2nd gen.

>>11864516
Why are they dressing her like an old lady?

>>11864528
I always thought that it was there regular clothes.

>>11864528
They chose their own outfits for this episode, I believe. Look at Hori's sweatshirt.

>>11864542
>>11864546
Damn, Maiyan should teach them how to dress.

Valentine's episode next week.

Lastly, a preview of an upcoming episode. An outing with Himura?

Like a boss

>>11864516
Goddamnit Ikoma looks like a damn hag lately with that new haircut. I wish she's either go back to her old style or to pic related.

>>11864663
Long hair Ikomachan > Short hair Ikomachan

Nogizaka46 leader admits H!P are the best idols and her own group sucks so much they won't be able to survive.

>>11864786
That's a terrible screencap of Reika.

>>11864788
She was depressed because she realized the 48/46 system trained them to be handshake robots instead of performers.

>>11864801
I feel terrible now. Maybe I should start following H!P instead of *48.

>>11864122
Our girl Rena at 35:00. What time is the Jurina cringe?

>>11864786
Did she really say that? Not that it would matter much to her since apparently her family is well off. Never quite understood why these princesses would want to be idols and shake hands with sweaty wotas. Maybe they just like the attention.

>>11864859
Does that girl not have pain receptors in her mouth or what? Dayum.

>>11864801
Yeah, not like H!P owes their sales survival to that after all... Not at all.
Wish I still had the schedule of H!P for handshake events for this single, guess how little it sold.

lol Jurina's puns were on point soooo funny 10/10 lol'd alot

not sure who the other girl was but she was busu and unfunny

>>11864894
I'm pretty sure she's a cute and sexy alien android from the future.

>>11864930
Pffft, found it...
Wonder if both wotas and members had fun traveling 100km in a day just to shuffle from one handshake location to the other.
http://www.helloproject.com/event/1401071400_event_musume.html

>>11864941
She always has been a bit of a....Joker.

>>11864956
Niigata -> Tokyo 319km
That's quite far

I don't get it? she looks flawless to me

>>11864967
124 minutes on the Shinkansen. Enjoy your gridlock plebs while I kick back and enjoy a beverage and a bento.

>>11864956
AKB used to do it all the time. Now they can just use a big venue.

>>11864947
hot

would you manmogi

>>11864941
What time? I'm not watching 60分

Handshakes can gauge your popularity but that in itself does not make you popular. Lots of idols groups, hell, even celebrities have handshakes events. None of them have the sales of AKB. AKB is very good at marketing.

>>11865003
Yeah, I would reverse her image because it's backwards.

Skip to 12 minutes, Jurina and whoever that chugoku is try to make 5 americans laugh.

Jurina really should have done her Melon Pan jokes

>>11864859
So incredibly charming.

>>11865022
Manatsu...

>>11865003
Nice looking fella.

>>11865009
Oh god that was bad.

>>11865009
Ha! She actually made me laugh. The other girl should learn from Jurina

such a princess

>>11864960
I legitimately cannot tell if that hairstyle is real or shopped

>>11864947
I look forward to this future

>tfw no wide-hipped spicy shrimp annihilating gf

>>11865182
She just seems so positive.

>>11865182

>>11865184

Goddamnit you fuckers I almost got over Rena.

>>11865182

>>11865221
She's testing the tensile strength of those pantsu.

>>11865207
>thinking you can get over someone that gets better with age

>>11865244

Does anyone know what kind of movie she will be starring in?

>minus zero degrees

Are we being raided?

You don't have to be showing skin to be lewd.

>>11865468
Is she losing weight? Looks a tad too skinny.

>>11865468
she could wear a burqa and still be lewd as fug.

she is a sight to behold :3

>>11865425

Not sure what she said but adorable.

>>11865468
It helps though.

>>11865472
Yarg matey. That be the shoop.

A video game where you fly and the bad guys shoot at you and you have to shoot back. I think I've seen it called a hell shooter game. I remember playing a game like it but with a dragon on nintendo or super nintendo.
Anyway I tried tohou and wasn't that into it.

She has questionable gundam colour scheme selections though imo

WTF????????????????

>>11864122
I don't know what I just watched but it was very fun.

>>11861757
I am shocked and appalled by this.
This shit is fucked up...

God, she's fucking cute

>>11866085
She has a better character than Yuria. They should push her more.

>Kimoto
>Cute
no, never

>>11866094

Non is the cutest.

>>11866098
That's the shitposter.

>>11866099

?

>>11866102
There's a shitposter in these threads who trolls by shit talking the idols. He's >>11866094 and >>11865609. Ignore and report him.

>Non is the cutest.
Sure! righttttttttt after about 25 other girls in front of her

>>11864122
>http://dai.ly/x1avj9p
Don't think i'll ever get tired of Yukirin's reactions, or watching her interactions with Rena. The rest of that episode was just awkward.

/akbg/ meetup

>>11866113
Everyone is ignoring him except you.

>>11866120
Don't you find Yukirin a bit phony?

>>11866131
That's the joke.

>>11866131
I do find her reactions to be extremely exaggerated, but I don't care. Never fails to make me laugh.

>>11866129

Used to hate 3DPD and just limit myself to anime 2D girls only, till I watched AKB0048. Fuck me, I just got into them like last week or something and I'm not sleeping days in a row to watch the shitty AKBingo episodes (why do I even laugh at them, it's addictive but stupid), what's wrong with me? The worst part is that I only probably know some members from 2005-2012 since I haven't searched about the recent members at all, I think I only know there's a russian chick named Anna.

Am I the only one who hated Kojima with passion? I also disliked Acchan (sorry, I can't stand fake crying and she was the blandest person in the whole group) and couldn't fucking stand Minegishi. Sad that I suddenly want to find somewhere to discuss idolshit but /u/ is cancer and /jp/ is way ahead of me to discuss old ass members nobody even cares anymore.

Akimoto Sayaka, Takamina, Oshima Yuko (especiall Yuko, I fucking love her), Miyazawa Sae and Mayuyu (guily pleasure of mine) are probably my favorites. They're probably the most popular, mainstream, whatever ones but they really make me smile.

>>11866237
Even Yuko thinks the new gen are lame.

>>11866237
You know Yuko is graduating, right?

aw, anon, how can you hate princess maeda? she is legendary if akb48 was mt fuji she would be the peak at the top

everyone climbing over each other to achieve that first rank and she held on for many many years.

new gen is worst gen they have nothing to offer the formations of NMB and HKT has been its downfall

>>11866244
Does she really have to graduate? I don't know what to do with myself when I finish watching all the episodes I find with her in them. And fuck me, because I don't even know where to find more with decent quality and subs (I can't into runes yet and can only catch a few words thanks to years of chinese cartoons) because I'm such a newfag to this. Yuko is love.
>>11866270
Yes, know it since yesterday only, though.

>>11866281
She can't really do much more in the group anymore. I want her to succeed in her acting career just so fans can see more of her. She really is great.

>>11866278
I liked her in the beginning (and in the anime version, she was my favorite), she's cute as fuck and has an oddly cute voice, even the fact that she's talentless (besides singing, I guess?) gives her a little charm. But seeing her graduation video with all those fake emotions (I know they are told that they have to cry in certain events, but come on) and plenty of clips where she's just there to act, act and act bored me a bit.
>>11866292
Also because she's already "old" too, right?

>>11866297
Don't respond to this guy >>11866278 he's a spammer who contributes nothing to the thread. He also flames everybody.

>>11866312
I noticed only after I replied since he didn't even quote me when respoding, sorry. I also dislike the tumblrcancer vibes from his kind of post.

Embrace the new generation Anon because they look cute with guns.

>>11866297
She said it herself that there's nothing in the group to keep her there. She wants to continue her dream which is acting.

Just because management told Acchan to cry at events you cant hold it against her, some people just aren't as smart as we are and depend on those emotional moments.

But everyday she showed up on 2 hours of sleep did concerts did handshake events did tv tapings and still preformed on high levels.

That is what made her ranked 1st and beloved by everybody.

>>11866317
She has been in "business" since she was a child, right? I think I've read something like that. I wish her the best.

>>11866237

>Preferring /jp/, the place full of trolling and flame wars, over the land of civilized harmony that is /u/

What in the world...?

>>11866323
Yeah. She only applied to AKB for the hell of it. She never really thought about idols that much before then. Just be thankful we got to see Yuko all these years.

>>11866324
>/u/, the place where tumblrwhores don't know what yuri is and post endless western crap along with emoticon shit spam and are all new as fuck
Yeah, no, you go and stay there. /jp/ can be the biggest shithole in this whole website, but /u/ always manages to be worse. Always.
>>11866327
I'm very thankful, I'm just afraid of running out of videos featuring her.

>>11866332
What made you dislike Miichan? Is it her scandal? I just want to know the feelings of a newfag on this matter.

>>11866340
Honestly? Couldn't give a flying fuck about her scandal or anyone else's "scandal". Not being allowed to have boyfriends is a really strict rule to begin with, so if any of them breaks it for the sake of wanting to be with the one they love, I don't blame them. Even though I do admit I like to take the yuri bait and watch them chuu'ing each other.

I just found her unsetting, I don't know how to fully explain it. Both her private videos and the ones she was together with her team, I just felt like she was a nuisance. It's probably me being an asshole, she's not my cup of tea.

>>11866237
I'd suggest looking at this if you haven't.

Hello-online's tracker is pretty much the best place for downloading anything.

Oh, thanks man, this is great.

>>11866371
Damn, I can never get used to counting by 万. Throws me off.

>>11866381
I usually just ignore the 万 and look at the numbers. I guess I'll have to adapt to it to understand spoken Japanese, though.

>>11866359
Damn, I can never get used to counting by 万. Throws me off.

>>11866382
My mind just tends to add commas where they're usually would be in the Western way. Guess more practice then.

>>11866237
I'm in your same boat anon, only I started with 3D idols last year.
I hardly dislike anyone in AKB: some girl could be called talentless or fake but they're all hard working women who put a lot of effort for making us happy. I'm a lazy ass and I cannot not respect that.

I also advise you to treasure your time with akbingo, I made your same mistake and marathoned everything as fast as I could.
New episodes aren't as funny as the old ones, the old gen members are really something else and they don't appear as much nowadays.

>>11866297
Not old enough. Check Mariko's age. She's gone now but there are also older girls left like in SKE.

Akimoto Sayaka has graduated but her blog and Twitter is here:

http://ameblo.jp/akimotoo0726/

>>11866322
Acchan worked hard. Mayuyu hurry up and knock that usurper Sasshi of the throne!!

>>11866431
Mayu has already peaked my friend. She won't be ranking any higher.

>>11866416
I'm rewatching some episodes already and I haven't even properly finished them, it's just that fun. Even the hosts that are there to be "mean" on purpose for the sake of humor get laughs out of me. Agreed on the fact that they all work hard.

Shoujiki Shougi is probably what gets me the most, despite the game not being very accurate at times.
>>11866425
I know who she is and that she was the oldest but she really hasn't let an impression on me (not yet at least), I'm not informed enough about her. I find her cute, especially since I like tall girls too.
>>11866429
Thanks.

New thread! stat!

Mariko still has a lot of fans.

>>11866446
We're only on page 3...

>>11866481

It's on Auto Sage, chief.

>>11866512
Not sure if new.

>>11866512
Are you new here?

>>11866512
What

>>11866512

this guy.

>>11866512
It's called a bump limit, rookie. Once we reach page ten a new thread will be made.

>>11866445
You might also wanna try downloading some of their concerts and theater performances. Its pretty exciting to see other members performing other units.

I wanna watch HIlary and Nao on team K. Anyone know any stages where they both appear together?

>>11866589
A few days ago I randomly typed in "akb48" on nyaa and downloaded one of their concerts, it was nice and I'm looking forward to watch them all in order, if possible. The other anon linked me that really helpful pastebin and I'll probably manage to learn more about them and lurk without (hopefully) being an eyesore too.

About theater performances, I've stumbled upon some featuring Sae and Sayaka in male roles but I still haven't watched the whole thing besides 2mins cut videos where they kiss.

>>11866615
Want a Jpopsuki invite? They have a ton of AKB stuff uploaded, as well as pretty much every other Japanese musician.

>>11866622
I want one too.

>>11866622
Really? I would really, really appreciate that. Yes, please.

>>11866625
>>11866626
Well, I have two. Email me and I'll invite you.

I'd want one but then I realize I don't really have anything I need to download.

>>11866645
I love you anon. Thank you.
