Scroll down.

Stage48 has the round results for AKB, NMB, and NGT but so far nothing for HKT or SKE.

Finished my last T8 USJ show. This time it was Yuiyui's turn to play the intro to First Rabbit live. She just couldn't do it. Couldn't find the right notes. Started over several times, had Nanase come over and show her, even tried hitting all the keys to try to find the right one.

People were cheering for her but in the end, after an awkward couple of minutes, she gave up and burst into tears. Broke my damn heart. Protective instincts kicked in so hard.

Also,
>SKE

>>15666824
:( Poor girl. がんばって

>>15666824
>SKE
SKE originally wasn't going to perform at USJ due to scheduling conflicts. I think they finally scheduled a performance or three, but I've no idea when.

>>15666824
Jesus.

Don't read this. Seriously. After the kiseki documentaries, I can only imagine how hard their handlers bullied her in the back. ;_;

We saw a showroom from USJ a couple of hours ago, with Rinrin and Shiorin.

8/24 I think

Yeah! Keep it up Jiina you're HKT's last hope.

HKT is dead.

>>15666834
Fuck. You're right, I shouldn't have read that. I understand they have a show to put on but if anything it makes people like her more.

Yuiyui ;_; I've never wanted to hug an idol so much.

>>15666856
I told you dawg. Listen to me m8.

Rean likes shaved ice too.

Team N: Akashi Natsuko
Team M: Azuma Yuki, Ishizuka Akari, Uemura Azusa, Shiroma Miru, Fujie Reina
Team BII: Kamieda Emika, Shibuya Nagisa
Kenkyuusei: Umeyama Kokona


Team M dominated.

>>15666865
Ah, well.

What did Rinrin and Shiorin talk about on stream?

>>15666875
>Azusa

FUCKING YES

>>15666796
I love unsmiling Fire but a smiling Fire is fine too.

HKT's line-up for this Janken is simply garbage.

>>15666805
>my wife
Hold up, that's my gf you're talking about.

>>15666785
Kobayashi Yui isn't very attractive.

>>15666895
Like I said >>15666851

>>15666886
Food and Jaws.

They ate crepes and shaved ice. They paid about 10 bucks for each cup of shaved ice, which is fucking mental. It looked delicious though (Shiori had mango and Rinrin had blue hawaii), and it had some One Piece thing going on, but the cups/boats were paper, so it's not like the One Piece styling matters at all...
>>15666539

Oh, and they also shilled some merch, like towels with Yamada's, Serika's and Yokoyui's names on them and shit.

So why don't you support my oshi instead of that "idol" who follow?

>>15666910
you follow* dammit

>>15666910
But I do...

>>15666910
Of course I support my oshi

Who else would I support?

>>15666908
Ah, yeah. The first day I didn't come prepared with food and wound up paying $20 for a burger. Reminded me of my time in Scandinavia.

The T8 merch wasn't that great. When I went and looked yesterday, they only had Serika's towel, and keychains of Serika and Yamada. There were a few members handing you your stuff after checkout so I got the Yamada keychain.

Who has the biggest breasts in KKK?

>>15666927
Suzumoto

>>15666926
>There were a few members handing you your stuff after checkout
Well, that makes it all worth it then.

>>15666933
What about 2nd and 3rd? Suzumoto is too ugly for me.

>>15666942
Quite possibly Yuiful.

>>15666942
Yuiful is probably second, don't know about third.

>>15666824
Fuck this hurts man. Thanks for reporting this. There were some comments about this on twitter, but I couldn't really make what it was about.

>>15666942
Yone-san is quite big too.

>>15666946

>>15666950
Why does she dress like a grandma?

>>15666952

>>15666950
Is this girl the Fire of KKK? Seems like every time she appears she's always smiling brightly.

>>15666958
I love idols with round head.

A message from Satone-chan to all you Australians.

>>15666982
Should have cropped off a bit of the left side.

Looks like I need to find someone to ship me a copy of the next AKB Shinbun...

>>15666986
Message is the same either way.

And Erii looks like she means it.

This guy is posting recordings of the janken prelims battle by battle, in case you've missed them. I did.

Not locked.

>>15666994

>>15666997

>>15667001
I meant, it's probably locked in Japan, and maybe a few other places AKS has influence.

>slutty 12 year old
well...

KKK's individual PVs where?

>>15667041
Think back to when you were in middle school.

Yes. Slutty 12 year olds most definitely exist, and you've met them.

Chiba Erii is not one of them, however. She's a bigger T8 wota than all of us combined, so she clearly is a purityfag.

Mionnnnnnnnnn

>>15665761
Sakura on Keyakitte when? They could do a dokkiri where they announce her as a kennin and center of the next KKK single.

>>15667047
Oh, of course, I was just reflecting on my own feelings about the matter.

You have a point there. She's miles ahead of girls that oshi Yukirin and such.

>>15666955
But anon, Fire's not always smiling >>15666796

>>15667124
Lala was really great last year/early this year, but lately I've been leaning more towards Ryoha. Especially when she performs with Team 4.

>>15667122
I would tell her anything she wanted to hear. And I'd mean it too.

>>15667124
I'd go with Rara but dat camera angle tho.

>>15667193
God dammit, why? Why does she have to be so cute?

Day 1: 250,523 (1st)
Day 2: 32,055 (Total: 282,578) (1st)

This is truly the future we need.

>>15667209
She's only mildly cute. She seems like good girl aside from the sex addiction though.

>>15667209
>God dammit, why? Why does she have to be so average?

>>15667222
>>15667224
You're lucky you see her that way. Every time I look at her I come a little closer to falling in love.

>>15667216

>>15667216
I mean, it's a REALLY good song.

>>15667209

>>15667201
Damn her fat body is so enticing.

>>15667198
It seems that she has surprisingly good taste.

>>15667231
Nice one.

>>15667235
世界には愛しかない is a good song, but I like 語るなら未来を even more.

>>15666946

>>15667251
She really shouldn't have cut her hair

>>15667256
Short hair fits her.

>>15667251
Damn she looks good here.

>>15667259
Honestly I had just about forgotten that Nogi exists

>>15667264
There's not much exciting going on, true.

>>15667194
I don't know why you call Shiorin a whale. She doesn't look fat at all

Watanabe Risa should stop smiling.

Hirate Yurina should stop looking cool.

Nagahama Neru should be slightly fatter.

>>15667273
Who is you?

>>15667245
I prefer 世界には愛しかない by far. Silent Majority too.

However, their best song is still キミガイナイ.

That said, 世界には愛しかない is still solid as fuck and it deserves to sell a lot just due to its quality.

>>15667278
I know some of these words, watanabe for example.

>>15667273
T8 uniforms show off legs to the max and Shiorin's legs are the largest by far. Not saying she's fat, just that that's a worrying sign.

>>15667238
I really need to see more of her Waki.

Poor man's love trip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1HZrEGiLK8

>>15667282
Don't forget they will be performing on Music Station tomorrow, with two songs (Silent Majority and SekaiAi).

They're the only guest start that will perform two songs on that day.

And please correct me if I'm wrong, but NMB and Nogi didn't even get the chance to perform two songs on their latest M Sta (plus Ashu was cucked so hard on M Sta).

I want Neru to splash water on me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XyvVVotEwk

>>15666950
she's like himetan, attractive, but won't be famous.

>>15667235
There's 4 good songs on the single. Too bad tog can't get all 4 from one purchase.

>>15667298
I can envision the exact same exchange happening between me and her

>>15667296
>plus Ashu was cucked so hard on M Sta
That was great. All that Himetan, Ikuta and Ikoma love going around, and Asuka ignored like the whore she is. Fantastic.

No Nagasawa blog today?

>>15667089
Tegoshi wouldn't even want to look at her.
0/10

So is Sato Shiori the least relevant KKK?

>>15667308
iTunes made it happen. Not sure about other digital platforms. Works well for me since my physical collection was getting out of hand.

>>15667321
She's not a Tegoshi fangirl anyway

>>15667193
I hate her but i like her, what to do?

>>15667321
that's what you want to believe.

>>15667331
Sounds like the recipe for a great fap.

>>15667323
Uemura.

It was Nijika, but then she costarred in a movie which is quite a bit ahead of a lot of girls now. Hopefully it translates to more popularity for her.

>>15667264
Me too

>>15667323
She's become relevant lately.

>>15667264
Nogi is not the future after all.

>>15667328
Tegoshi has powerful magnet that can attracts idol, but he only chooses the good one.

>>15667323
She's the girl whose name I learned last, and I watched every Keyakitte episode right from the start.

>>15667331
I'm pretty sure you don't actually hate her. Everyone loves Neru.

>>15667341
Nogi was the prototype for the future.

>>15667341
But of course. Nogi is the present after all.

>>15667352
No, they're has-been.

>>15667341
AKB was the past, is the present, and will be the future.

>>15667355
Uhh no. You're thinking of AKB.

>>15667352
t8 is the present

>>15667357
Yasusu pls

>>15667357
That's what you'd think in 2011.

>>15667341
Nogi has the misfortune of being too connected with AKS.

>>15667352
The present is T8 + KKK. NGT can join if their single doesn't flop.

>>15667358
Nope. AKB has T8, at least.

>>15667367
Let her rest anon, stop torturing her.

>>15667366
T8 isn't even relevant.

>>15667194
Rinrin is my gf

Look at this doll.

>>15667366
They don't need Team 8, but yes, they have them too.

KKK is really the future after all.

>>15667375
No, that's Nogi.

>>15667377
When did Hachi-kun get so edgy?

Amanojaku Batta much?

>>15667382

>shit talking nogis when we're less than 10 days away from 3rd Gen announcement

We should be hyped.

Nogi isn't even in decline, regardless of what the fags in this thread think.

>>15667245

Looks like they're much better composers and arrangers than artists. Or maybe it's just that they've gotten much better with the years.

>>15667401

Look at this old hag

>>15667405
As good as the songs have been, I feel like the choreographer for keyaki isn't getting enough credit.

The choreo for Silent Majority is a big reason why the group caught on so much. And the new choreo we've seen has been just as good if not better.

Keyaki is going to put on great shows when they have a larger portfolio of songs to do full concerts.

>>15667437
Not a big fan of her current haircut

>>15667446
Yeah she looks like someone's mom

>>15667437
Not a fan of her face.

>>15667438
I really like Keyaki. Things are going great. Unless your oshi is Uemura I guess?

>>15667438
They already have 13 songs, not counting extras like Neru's periodic table song (and extras like Marika's Seven no Teen tend to be featured in Nogi concerts).

Assuming an average of 5 minutes per song, that's over an hour. Maybe an hour and a half or more counting MCs.

>tfw with two singles in 6 months, KKK has already surpassed the amount of songs Team 8 has after two and a half years by 5 songs/40%

>>15667437

>>15667456

>>15667273
>>15667287
legs thicker than mio's at any rate. the only reason why you don't think she's fat is we haven't seen her body yet.

>>15667466
Keyaki is moving at lightning speed. 3 shows, 2 singles, 2 gens in less than a year.

>>15667480
>yet
I doubt we'll ever get a proper look at any of T8's bodies

>>15667488
I just want to see cho's bikini gravure

Katoshi is going to surpass Maiyan.

>>15667480
We've seen her in very tight clothes though. In her tight pajamas in both the Guam trip and the Nemousu driver's license episodes. And she's not fat. She just has thick legs, but that does not translate to her stomach.

>>15667363
>The present is T8
2 years, 0 singles, only 2 ranked members in 3 elections, 0 TV shows for themselves and barely present in AKBingo at all.
In a little less than a ear Keyaki has 2 singles, total sales 500k including a record breaking debut single and 3 regular tv shows for themselves.
Team 8 is, at best, a niche understudy for the stagnated AKB48. If you think they're anywhere near Keyaki's current relevance, public recognition, potential or have anything close to the instant impact Silent Majority had then you're just delusional.

I love Risa

>>15667504
are you me anon?

https://a.pomf.cat/nulbdk.webm

>>15667497
>0 TV shows for themselves
If NOTTV and LoGiRL count, they have (had) at least 2. No, wait, 3, because they've had 2 in LoGiRL.

>Team 8 is, at best, a niche understudy for the stagnated AKB48
Not at all. They're not a replacement for their seniors in the theater (which is what an understudy is). They're a subgroup made in order to serve as entertainment for Toyota events.

>If you think they're anywhere near Keyaki's current relevance, public recognition, potential or have anything close to the instant impact Silent Majority had then you're just delusional
We'll see what happens with their CD.

Thank you AKB for giving us this god tier raw material. We will make her great in Keyaki and surpass you.

Rinrin is my gf

>>15667520
I could get used to this combo.

>>15667517
Don't bite the bait. Keep calm and support your oshi.

>>15667497
I both love T8 x KKK, the only problem with T8 is their ties with AKS. KKK is ahead its because of good management and agency. T8 may have a good mgmt but they lacked a good agency, and AKS wouldn't risk that since AKB4 is declining.

>>15667529
>aipon

>>15667517
Also add they do additional commentating during race events which is not bad for a side job to do. They may not have stable presence in the idol niche but they are evenly spreadout for niche outside the idol genre.

Many of us started bandwaggoning T8 months after she left, when T8 Halloween Night happened. I mean, I saw her in the first Kiseki documentary, but that's about all I know about her - and her role in the documentary was the fact that she graduated. I suppose I also saw her on the first Nemousu training camp, but I don't remember her.

I miss your it hurts post.
And no Nagasawa blog?
I thought they are the same guy, oh well.

>>15667664
There is no point in following Vanilla AKB still now that Based Team 8 is around.

>>15667711
Meanwhile, based Muramoto retweeting Trump.

I think it's a reaction GIF, not really tweeting about Ghostbusters.

>>15667711
Rean please no.
If I hated her I'd genuinely make the thread but I like her too much. I'll let it slide.
How the mighty have fallen.

>>15667718
Different posters.

>>15667718
Thread personalities are truly the soul of akbg.

>>15667721
the future of bingo has literally never been brighter.

>>15667724
Oh boy the fappening is coming.

I can't stop thinking about her ;_;

She's enjoying it.

Somewhere around 21:20.

another irrelevant dead idol asking for job, nothing new

>>15667743
I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist.

>>15667719

I optimize fuuko

Can someone explain me the ghostbusters meme? I'm not up to date with your kids' current fads.

>>15667785
off-topic alt-right vs tumblr nonsense, don't bother.

>>15667785
This is a good summary:

And then the sheboon bitched at the Twitter CEO and Milo got banned for life.

>>15667785
Are you also not aware that Strong Independent Women are now also trying to make an All-Female Ocean't Eleven?

>>15667711
rean seems to have pretty shit taste in film judging from stuff she posted on twitter/ig. this isn't really surprising.

>>15667802
Supposedly Ocean's Eight. Mainstream Hollywood is so dead right now.

>>15667809
Except the Angry Birds movie was brilliant. And I say this as someone who hates the game.

This is already a better movie than anything Sony could come up with. And it doesn't even move.

>>15667802
Nope, and I wish I never was.

Let's hope George-sama will at least replace Julia's role.

Macharin is kennin so she's automatically gets a slot in the tournament right?

>>15667823
>Macharin
>kennin
Kennin from what exactly?

>>15667818
Julia Roberts uptightness is proportional to her mouth.

>>15667814
>>15667809
it's just a matter of time until msm takes aim at glorious nihon and her idols. imagine hillary, spurned by the idol world, going on msnbc to badmouth the industry that didn't care about her.

>>15667823
She's not a kennin but an actual akb member

>>15667828
TPN48.

>>15667830
Liberals are so naive that they deserve to get shat on.

>>15667837
Don't you mean CTP48?

And no. She's not a kennin.

>>15667830
>implying the idol industry isn't empowering thousands of young Japanese women

>>15667848
Its surprising they find enjo kosai empowering. it fucked me up for life when i found out old women torture young boys. No wonder their ghosts are either kids or women.

>>15667848
>implying critical theory isn't all about spinning shit so everyone you like is a victim of everything and everyone you don't like
Remember Minegishi's coverage in the west? How about Nogizaka's Guru Guru Curtain? And the breath sumo game that got its edible cicada turned into a cockroach?

>>15667869
I'm sure Haruppi found this empowering.


If you know what I mean.

>>15667848
>>15667848
you know that their narrative won't allow idols or the idol industry to be portrayed as anything other than reprehensible. even if they were to concede that there are positive elements to it, it would still be condemned as an example of "systemic misogyny", and posturing that japan has something to answer for in terms of how it treats it's female population.

>>15667315
Which episode was this? Was she hurt?

>>15667881
Enjo kosai is an actual problem but saying the idol industry is all enjoy kosai is complete shit.

>>15667878
Haruppi is getting pretty tonight.

Has there ever been western coverage of idols that wasn't horribly misinformed?

Not sure I've ever seen a single article that didn't include multiple glaring factual errors, without even getting into the stuff you guys are talking about.

>>15667898
Most of them still believe AKB has 48 members.

>>15667837
I'm retarded. Thanks.
Have a Matcha.

>>15667909
Really makes you think about """journalism""" covering topics that you're not as deeply involved with

IDOL FORCED TO SHAVE HER HEAD WTF JAPAN

>>15667898
Has there been - any - western coverage of the 48 group other than these >>15667863 ?

Though I guess when Babymetal were in Colbert... that wasn't misinformed or negative or anything like that. Not positive either, but neutral is best in the end.

>>15667917
There's a reason I barely glance at the "news" these days. And when I do I read multiple independent sources, if they are available.

THREAD DERAILED

>>15667917
I kind of believe that journalism lost its bite after World War 1. World War 2 is all about creating the new establishment instead of taking it down.>>15667919

>>15667898
They always act as if it's a creepy thing girls are forced to do, complaining about underage (in America) girls doing gravure, misunderstanding the reason behing the love ban and calling it hypocritical, etc. I'm sure none of them complain when former Disney stars are being degenerate.

>>15667934
This. Same bull everywhere you go.

>>15667927
Sometimes they'll get brought up when discussing other Japan-related topics, but usually it's to reiterate the already mentioned misinformation (or what happened to Kawaeii/Annin).

>>15667939
The guy wasn't even a fan. just a frustrated bystander.

>>15667863
>edible cicada better than a cockroach

>>15667954

their endgame is just to shit on japan."reporting" on idols, lewd vidya etc within the context of "japan is so backwards and wierd lmao" are all just a means to that end. the states in particular burger here btw have a huge issue with developed countries not adhering to the moral standards they claim to champion and set.

Is this her one unflattering picture?

>>15667992
The 3rd Anni got to have her. The dancenntric parts feel incomplete without her. Its like the unplugged parts without Cho or Oda

>>15667919
>This poor girl hasn't lowered her mic once
I was starting to think she wouldn't ever get to speak.

>>15667992
I've realized recently that she truly is one of the top eitos.

>>15668015
At least she'll always have that one center position to look back on.

Shida: "Actually, if I hadn't been accepted into Keyakizaka, I was thinking of going overseas to study."
Hirate: "Ehh? No way! Me, too...."
Shida: "You, too?"
Hirate: "I was going to go overseas to study, too."
Shida: "Eh? Really? Where were you going to go?"
Hirate: "Australia."
Shida: "Ah, Australia."
Hirate: "That's right. What about you?"
Shida: "I wanted to go to English Canada."
Hirate: "Oh! Why did you want to go?"
Shida: "Yes, why... I didn't have anything in particular I wanted to do. I guess it was just that I wanted to leave Japan and get a wider point of view."
Hirate: "Me, too."
Shida: "You, too? Ha, ha."
Hirate: "I didn't have any special dream."
Shida: "None."
Hirate: "Yes. I just wanted to fly away for a while and try it out. Maybe you were the same."
Shida: "The same!"

>>15668015
She looked sad on the Janken earlier.
Or maybe just tired because it was an HS event? I dunno.

>>15668045
not again

>>15668037
>Hirate: "Australia."
>hirate saying m8 and not ending every word with their letters
UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANNA HEAR IT

>>15668050
Japanese girls speaking Australian English are cute as fuck, can confirm

>>15668050
>he doesn't want an idol with a shitposter chara

>>15668050
We have enough shitposters with Sasshi and Hirari. No, seriously.

No need for a strayan Hirate.

>>15668062
I want to talk to Emichi now.

>>15667962
Odaeri ate a cricketroach though. Not a cicadaroach.

inb4 she is one of the top 5

>>15667998
Besides all the other ones? Yeah.

>>15668095
A thought just occurred to me. Are the people who like YokoYui the same as the people who like Bibian?

>>15667150
What a dainty runner child

>>15667775
Why is she not getting any push lately?

>>15667924
Yes.
