AKB General 64

Previous thread: >>11010987

Sashiko revolution edition.

Will Mayu keep her momentum as the next ace with her 3rd place, and will Paruru be able to cope with her own rank?

Will the SKE management recognize Shibata Aya and the other 6 SKE girls who ranked without being SKE senbatsu?

Will Meru (55th) stay HKT's ace now that Sakura has ranked 26th and Haruppi 37th?

How will the 32nd single be? We have much to discuss.

Who are the most butthurt fans after this election? Sasshi haters? Yuko fans? Mayuyu's supporters?

Mayuyu fans. Yuko fans are cool for the most part.

>Sasshi haters? Yuko fans?
You have to consider that there's a lot of overlap in these two groups, and Yuko fans especially get particularly annoying if their cunt fails yet again to achieve the #1.

So I'd say these two are clearly on the top, with Mariko Oshi taking the #2.

I'm not seeing any Mayuyu fans being angry actually, surprises me a little. But then again, I don't hang out in subhuman communities, so it'll probably be different there.

[Anonymous No.]

By the way, out of the 32 person senbatsu for SayoCrawl, the only 2 not to rank were Abe Maria and Kato Rena.

Mariko's are not butthurt, they are sad, which is an entirely different thing. They are not mad at all because what happened was not something that came from the elections, it's something that Mariko herself decided (or partly decided) and thus they can't be mad.

I hope so, since this year's senbatsu clearly showed that talent is not the mitigating factor in the election.

Mayuyu needs to just stay her course... and her fans need to lay it on thick next year, myself included.

[Sakura !6murAshIgE No.]

>>11017648
I would figure Mayu fans are a little discouraged that the gap to #1 has widened. Last year it was 30k and now it is 50k.

Mayu fans have no one to blame but themselves... and HKT wota who dumped all their votes into the one person who was guaranteed to rank.

Instead of Anna.

>>11017821
>and her fans need to lay it on thick next year

Ugh, I split my votes between her and Murashige and majorly regret it now, didn't do everything I could for her. Will make sure I step it up next year though, this election has reinvigorated my interest in the group majorly.

[Y10NRDY !kxh.1oTAkU No.]

>>11017856
That's funny because I probably would have done the same thing if I was in the position to vote this year myself (i.e. not broke). Mayuyu's my oshi and Anna's my HKT oshi.

And I'm sure I'd be kicking myself now, too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11017805
You do have a point there, but I've also seen a lot of people expressing their anger at Mariko not making her mind up earlier. Or if she did, not announcing it earlier, and now maybe even leaving earlier than Tomochin on top of it

Really a shitty move on her side. I forgot Sae oshis in my earlier ranking though. I don't have enough of an overview to judge properly who's more pissed, but I'd lean towards Sae oshis.

I think there were probably quite a few of us who just assumed Mayu would do better easily so didn't push as hard as we should have. Judging by the numbers it would have been hard anyway, but I expect it to be a lot closer next year. Half of the Senbatsu could be gone by then anyway, so who knows.

[None !!00oUOpy3ATX No.]

>>11017862

Impressive, didn't expect to see someone with the exact same oshi pair. Anya clearly surpasses Mayuyu in my book at least though. Hope she'll get pushed a bit more.

Yeah, for me it's the other way around but they're both just wonderful examples of what it is to be an idol in very different ways.

fuck, I'm enjoying this so much right now, watching theatre performances with lots of focus on sasshi, cheering for HKT in general, decent turn outs for the election in general. Great two days.

>>11017913
I agree, it probably says more about my pathetic life than the week itself but with Babymetal releasing at the beginning of the week, Mechaike subs being released and then this crazy election, I genuinely think it's been over a year since I've been so happy. Certainly I haven't been so excited about the fandom as a whole since probably around 2010.

Well, the election is getting bigger and bigger, and of course it was intense, but first election was seriously heart-wrenching for the fans. and especially the girls. I remember that some of the girls actually fainted after it was finished.

Which makes me remember about Mikachi, which is the girl that fainted during that time, so I actually google her a bit to know her current being. Seems like she's doing well and still keeping up with AKB. And then I of course need to watch the original vers. of TemoDemo.

Damn, I was actually have been in the fandom quite long.

I might have to pick them as a whole group so I don't have to deal with some rich fans ruining the rankings like I have to with the other AKB groups.

But I'll still have to deal with management playing favorites. As long their positions are based on the popularity of their handshake events, I don't mind.

Kinda hope they won't. I was already in the fandom during the first election, and knowing the numbers of votes they got put some of the bottom-tier members into severe depression, and that's when Acchan top the ranking with only like 4,000-5,000 votes.

Now when even the 64th ranker got more than 10,000 votes, I guess it's kinda depressing if there are some members that actually got less than a few hundreds votes.

The HUGE numbers of members participating can make it less depressing for them that doesn't rank, but I guess knowing you can only garnered a few hundred votes is still, you know. And well, if there were, and probably there are, those that got less than a hundred votes. Man.

Sayurin's accent makes it hard for me to get what she is saying. When I first heard her talk in one the videos floating in internet, I have to listen twice to notice that she's just speaking simple Japanese that even I can understand. Can't believe I actually heard some kind of unknown language the first time.

Maybe it's her voice too. I don't know.

Anyway, Wakatsuki is a bigger slut than all the AKB members that have got involved in scandals combined. Just hatin'.

I really don't like how they're dropping the individual PVs, some of the PVs(especially the 2nd singles' date videos) are quite good, and it's one of the places where unders get guaranteed screentime.

Well, maybe it's just me but I liked them, especially the history professor's talk at the very beginning. I found it quite insightful and refreshing, considering all the stupid crap we keep hearing about AKB on Western media from self-styled "experts". Speaking of which, how many wota even know who Hana Tojima is these days?
The only thing they need to do next year is to stop talking over the female announcer after the show has started. Other than that, I'm fine with having commentators and all.
Besides, didn't they have something similar in the past years?
Something about Ariyoshi, Tsuchida Teruyuki and much of the MC crew talking at a restaurant table, if I recall correctly.

I see. I actually didn't watch it all the way through and I skipped a lot too since like I said, it's like watching a lost puppy. Well, pretty standard idol stuff to do.

Honestly, I don't think Paru is quite okay. From her mobame it seems she's trying her best to appear grateful to fans, but she still looks so... disillusioned.

I wonder whether she'll change, for better or worse, after this result... she could learn to make an effort, but I hope she still doesn't lose sight of her salty self, and doesn't kill her emotions like Mayu did after the 2nd election.

I'm curious as to how high she wanted to get, I would have thought her best case scenario occured.
Unless...she wanted to rank at the bottom of senbatsu and was depressed that she can never escape the push. Do you think Paruru wants to be center?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11021135
Her rise was extraordinary, but so was her push. I think she herself understood that a huge rise was necessary to warrant the attention she got. She did rise what, 11 ranks, but I think she'd have needed to be top 10 or so for the push to be legitimised - which was close, but not quite there.

Of course, we can't know what she herself wanted or expected. She could have had some girl she wanted to pass in mind, for example.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11021152
Unless she's being honest about her feelings, there's really no telling on what she exactly felt about this or what really caused that seriously awkward moment during her speech. Her Ponkotsu goes far beyond Tomochin and Acchan.

I thought she herself have said that she's practically happy to be by the side of the idols that she loves so much and actually doesn't really aim big for herself in AKB?

It's rather obvious she's under a lot of pressure though, and her social awkwardness only serves to double that.

Get a slightly layered bob cut, ask them to make it slightly longer on the sides -> part your hair in the middle and straighten it, curling the ends towards the head (every day or after a shower, depending on your hair). Like one anon before said, bringing a picture will be helpful to your hairdresser.

That should do it. If you want to maximise forehead exposure; you can see that she sometimes (pic related) tucks the hair from the middle top of her forehead behind - probably using bobby pins underneath, unless they're long enough to be put behind her ears.

She's also had a couple of other variations, like a diagonal/side partings and shorter/uneven side bangs. I can post a few pictures of the variations.

Hope that helped. I really admire the gorgeous hair of many 48 girls too.

I rewatched the senbatsu today.. And i find myself becoming more and more interested in NMB and SKE even more so than before. I noticed some girls i haven't even really heard of before hand. Eitherway this elections really helped push me into wanting to see/hear more of these 2 groups.

Also might i add, them girls are gorgeous... What is it with these 2 groups?

And my personal favourite, Haruppi with a side parting. Sometimes she does it too much to the side though, which covers too much of her cute forehead and makes her look a bit silly. With the right amount I think it looks great on her, I suppose it's a bit more of a mature look.

[Anonymous No.]

During Paruru's speech, you might say she was just being her awkward self. But she was totally lost in despair if you saw her sitting in the background afterwards.

Miichan totally hangs out with her so that she can talk Meru into joining her in gokon in the future. Well, there's also the part of her being a slight lolicon too.

While we're talking about Meru, I kinda get the impression that she kinda looks like what Mayuyu+Harugon fusion would look like. And she smiles like Nacchan in that her eyes kinda disappear/almost totally shut when she does so.

There's also the part where she's all smiley all the time in her public appearance to the point its awkward/creepy that it reminds me of Mayuyu and Jurina in their early days. Kinda make me wonder if she's aware that she's garnering quite a number of hate for her insane push, or that she's totally being a kid in that she still thinks everything is sunshine and rainbows.

Not to mention her dancing and movement in performance are rough and awkward as hell, which means she's totally giving it all, but in an excessive way, like a kid usually does. It seriously makes it hard to hate her for anything when you realized that she's totally still a kid in a lot of ways.

tl;dr Miyupon is totally Non's doppel when you look at her from certain angles.

Not close to AKB. Her extremely successful career in modeling, variety and such has had relatively little to do with her being in AKB.

>>11024094

it would definitely be a different kind of captaincy, just like Rena is team E's captain or Sayanee is team N's captain. Yuihan now has experience and has really blossomed over time. I agree though that it would give a really different vibe to the team since it wouldn't be a 1st gen leading anymore, but she's a senbatsu girl (meaning she's pretty popular) and is likely to stay for a good while and hopefully become a front girl, so that definitely plays in her favor.

The thing I worry about is that she has low public recognition- I don't doubt that she can do it and do it really well.
But I'd like A to have a member who can be named by anyone.
Maybe that's just a matter of time, but it's not like Yuihan has mananaged an amazing leap in popularity.

She doubled in votes this year. Like i said earlier, if given the right push i think they could really put her on top. Tot ontop of senbatsu but as team A's Captain. Every year she seems to improve bit by bit. I really do believe in her.

Can you give me examples? I admit that I don't give much attention to her, there are other girls who are a lot more noticeable (and yes I've seen her jump in Macau) that I feel she doesn't really live up to her senbatsu position or the possibilities of her becoming captain of A. Team A is a star group so to speak, and she doesn't shine that brilliantly to me. I'm no hater, I'm just worried for Team A.

True, I don't mean it to look that way, but look at Takamina, former team A captain, she's indispensable and led the best Team A. Mariko, albeit not really the leader type, was also indispensable for the group and now she's leaving. Can't say the same for Yui I'm afraid.

I thought it was pretty clear to everyone in-the-know that the demotion to KKS was going to be only nominal. Only normalfags didn't catch on that.
Besides, even if they were serious about the punishment, it only meant she had to go to the theater on the days Team KKS is performing, instead of the days Team B in performing. Which amounts to nothing, since Miichan was never so active in theater anyway.

I can't see mayu leading the team, and takamina has her general manager position.

Yui has gained more votes every year and has been in senbatsu consecutively, with no signs of droping. She has a motherly image, being that she is always being supportive and helping members. Mariko has said in the past that yui helped teach her dance moves when she was having troubles. Not to mention recently haruppi put a picture on her G+ with her and yui praising yui for being so supportive to her team members. Yui can dance, she can sing, and she can work hard.

I dare someone to tell me someone more suited to lead the team once mariko is gone.

CDJapan is good for packaging/shipping options, HMV has CDs and DVDs cheaper but because you have to use EMS, postage makes books pricier. There's also YesAsia but I wouldn't recommend them unless you want to wait 6 weeks for shipping. They do sometimes have old books in stock though, so it's worth checking for the really old AKB books.
If you want items like photos, try FromJapan for a proxy service- but that gets really expensive, so I wouldn't go that way unlessyou really want photos or if you don't mind buying second hand DVD boxes which are much cheaper than new.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11029232
Think about it like this. You've got 100 fans. Each fan has 15,000 yen to spend each election. In the first election, votes are 1500 yen each, so each fan can afford 10 votes, totalling 1000 votes.
The next election however, you only have 80 fans. But, each vote is now only 1000 yen, which means each fan can buy 15 votes with the same amount of money as the first election, totalling 1200 votes. So even though your fan base has declined, you've received more votes than the previous year.
This is more or less what has happened this year. Don't let her number of votes fool you, if her popularity didn't decrease, then she wouldn't have dropped 8 places. Same story with Kuramochi.

If it's really her, I hope it turns out it's just some club's staff helping her along and she doesn't put out another pointless apology, because I sure as hell don't want her to ruin these post-sousenkyo days with her whining.

Speaking of scandal, and there's your Mayuyu picture, I remember about the article about how the paparazzi try to find any kind of scandal that involves Mayuyu, but basically can't find even the slightest bit of anything.

I guess if there's any scandal about Mayuyu, it probably involves her munching carpet with some Takarazuka members, heh. But the day we find out Mayuyu is sucking some guy's cock, I guess that's the day that all hell would break loose in the fandom.

[Anonymous No.]

I doubt Mayuyu's dating or anything when she's still working hard to get to center.
In a few years though, if she doesn't get to the top and someone younger gets there, I wouldn't be suprised if she broke the rules.

Meru kinda reminded me of Jo a bit, what with their almost perma-smile. Though Meru's smile can get a bit creepy in some instances, while Jo' smile is almost always cute.

I wonder if Meru would really be the new Jurina, at least in a way that she could handle all the pressure and hate and continue to presevere, or will she follow Jo's footsteps and withdraw from the group? It's not often to have a member to get Akimoto's blatant bias and insane push. Almost all of them seems to suffer high-degree of pressure. Even though some people think the treatment they get is unfair to the other members, but seriously, it's really not a mere walk in the park either.

In the 2nd election she would've been in Undergirls if it wasn't for a 21-member senbatsu. Besides, low senbatsu is pretty far from center. I mean, until now, none of the girls from lower senbatsu actually had a hope of becoming center one day. Only pushed girls or Kami 7 girls have been really close to center.

Because Yuko is consistently #1 or #2 depending on the year.

Yeah, Meru's smile is much closer to Mayuyu's smile actually. Especially in her early days. But it's fucking Mayuyu the cyborg after all. And I remember Jurina is the same too when she just debuted, with almost smiling but look kinda forced smile. Seeing Jurina first appear in AKBingo at that time was seriously awkward when you notice while Jurina and Rena were both awkwardly smiling, some of the other members looked like they were about to cut someone.

Yeah, Jurina's perma-smile was kind of strange for a while there. You could see her drop it and then remember to pick it up again every few minutes.

To be honest, I only know of Mariko among the older members, in a sense of their time in AKB or simply older by their age that actively try to support and look after the younger members. Rena and Masanya are probably just more interested in molesting them cute younger members.

I'm sure they are probably do take care of the lolis behind our back or something, but when someone like Mariko welcomes you, it can boost a lot of their confidence and take off some of your pressure. I kinda think that if she have enough time, Mariko would probably would try look out for even the other younger unpopular members, it's just she's way too busy to even have time for that. I just hope there would be more of the senbatsu members that would follow her footsteps in doing such, because really, it's heartwarming to see that.
