Ryoha has no appeal!
They chose the wrong center.

>>12654030
You're mom has no appeal

Aki-P is not even trying anymore.

>>12654097
Would you?

>>12654030
Pic unrelated

>>12654030
Ryoha is p.cute though.

Who is this?

>>12654134
Matsui Rena.
Primary lesbian and lolicon in 48g.

>>12654134
Are you trying to jangle my Jamies?

that feel when jurina is neither akb center nor ske center

>>12654144
also she's pretty otaku

>>12654146
That resting psycho face.

ryoha is too fresh
ordinary people dont know her
and jurina might be angry
she was removed

>Not supporting Uha
Pleb

tfw still no yukirin drama E02 subs up

>>12654146
I sort of wish the spammer was here so we could watch his brain break even further from reality.

>>12654620
I can't watch the drama knowing that Yukirin will lose in the love triangle though

>>12654101
Maiyan is best 48, anyone who disagrees is in denial.

>>12654796
Maiyan a shit. Kazumin a AMAZING.

>>12653993
Who are these monstrosities?

>Maiyan and Kaotan release PB at the same time

Well gee, I wonder who's gonna win.

>>12654837
What monstrosities?
I only see two cute girls.

>>12655021
>Horse face
>cute

>>12654134
What is this clip from?

>>12654980
Watching this was honestly the most fun I've had in a while. Just overall really enjoyable special to watch.

>>12654837
Looks like Hillary and Yukarun.

who is this not plastic chinese looking qt?

>>12655055
The boat tour guide guy was hilarious

>>12654819
I hope those are joke subs.

>>12655138
I think those are from Indonesians.

>Miyamane getting pushed
>gravure soon

>>12655149
What's number 6 and 9's talent? inb4 you add them together.

>Miyamae getting pushed
>gravure soon

>>12655152
It's a "Who's got the best breasts ranking" not a talent ranking.

>>12655153

Still gonna say "literally who?" Ishida Anna on that list is probably 5 times more well-known.

SKE is just desperate to not look like they're falling behind NMB so they changed up their centers too. But unlike NMB, the two they chose haven't even ranked in the SSK at all.

>>12655203
I feel both SKE and NMB are slowing down and even decreasing popularity wise. Nogizaka is definitely getting more popular.

>>12655049

From the DVD of her first photobook "Kingyo" or something like that if I recall correctly.

>>12655213
Nogizaka was on fire until Adultryringo's scandal. There's going to be a big drop in their next single because she wasn't punished at all. If she makes Senbatsu in the next single, expect a massive shitstorm.

>>12654134

A goddess

>>12655213

Yeah. A huge number of fans already made the switch to Nogi.

But they also have the same problem of no great next gens. If you watched NogiShow from yesterday you'd see that even their 1st gen Undergirls have way more star power than their 2nd gens.

It's especially tricky for them because without theater performances, Nogi just isn't capable of spreading the spotlight that much. They already stretch it by giving Undergirls so many shows, there's no way they can give 2nd gens more opportunities right now.

>>12655249
Good I'm glad. One of the things I really dislike about AKB48 in general is how they spread themselves too thin. Especially if you're not doing theater performances, you definitely don't need more than you already have in Nogizaka.

Looks like I can't access to the only video online of Yukarun performing Yuuwaku no Garter, so let's post Miorin an call it a day.

Rena incoming. Latest magazine pics.

>>12655276

Who is the obaasan in the right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pom5AJDflw

On the other hand I found the balloon art corner from Natsu Matsuri

>>12655291

Funny enough, if an American girl was doing this it'd probably end up on /b/'s cringe thread.

>>12654819
Are you trying to ruse me, anon?

What were some of the more noteworthy performance DVD's from 2014? There's a lot of them from the looks of it and they are all very large file size, so if I could just get a few of the best I would prefer to do that

>>12655234
I can't wait for the next single

>>12655234
Didn't the scandal happen days before their single and they still sold really well? It sold something like 400k iirc.

>>12655382
There were a lot of angry messages about people not being able to cancel pre-orders. Just scumbad moves overall.

>>12655269
Fresh remon is usually cute, but that there is just a little too much makeup on her.

>>12655266
>>12655269
Future Soukantoku right there.

>>12654146

>>12654465
>and jurina might be angry

>>12655344
does she have down syndrome?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfZve0gkP0c

>>12655492
Yeah thats funny but part of me thinks the Mio thing is an act, shes fine with being on stage singing or dancing but when shes solo or singing karaoke like on Odekake shes practically in tears.

And don't get me started on her being in every gravure magazine on the planet.

>>12654929
they're both winners

Sakura's full transfer to AKB when?

>>12655492
>dat drunk sasshi
>dat awful singing
I bet she's great at Karaoke nights.
Poor Mio.
Mio really is a lovely good girl. She's also very THICK.
She reminds me of my darling Nao-chan.

EXACTLY my thoughts since I first saw her.

>>12655329
NMB's Harucon 2014 was great. Remo-con Kamonegix and the entire concert was brilliant.

>>12655743
No dvd, shown on tv over various dates instead.

>>12655771

SEXY NURSES

>>12655930
One of their worst songs so far.

>>12655930
Acchan got a hell lot more screentime than most of everyone.
Not that I complain, though

Sayuri did nothing wrong

She is still my Nogi-oshi

>>12656121
accept the fact
she ended

>>12656121
Sayuringo is more beautiful now that she is confirmed to be sexual and feminine

>>12656121
Confirmed for Tumblr beta who knows nothing about the purpose of idol groups.
An idol who can't keep the same amount of devotion to her fans as her fans show to her is violating the terms of her job and should be forcibly graduated right away. Only Tumblrfags would think that an idol's purpose is just to put out songs - an idol's purpose is to provide comfort, entertainment and devotion to their fans, and having an affair is betraying their job and their fans. On the off-chance you're not a Tumblrfag, you're a beta NTR fetishist trying to force your fetish on everyone else in the fandom.

Fug, my wallet trembles

>>12656148

>>12656121
It doesn't bother me that you still want to support her, but you can't seriously think she did nothing wrong.
Acting like she is innocent and her not getting punished sends such a bad message to the other members.

Yuko staying pure

>>12655930
Why did they even bother putting all of those new girls in the senbatsu if they're just going to give graduated members the screen time instead?

>>12656216
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be some kind of handing over the torch shit.

>1000 songs in 5 days
poor girls

next gen ace coming through

>>12656219
I get that bit but it just feels stupid to give Acchan 20 seconds of screen time while someone like KojiMako gets 1.
The announcement made it seem like a change up but it's worse than the summer singles in that regard.

>>12656148

Being a AV Idol in japan is not a shame, so...
...Who now...

>>12656274
spoiler that shit

>>12656266
You're right there is no shame. However it is sad and depressing to see a former idol become one.

>>12655021
Happinesu is monsertits now

>>12656335
Becoming AVidol is the best way to please her fans. Still waiting Yonezawa Debut.

>>12656347

>>12656264

>>12656593
When Rena was talking everyone stops and listens. When Jurina was talking no one gave a fuck.

>>12656605
airin was trying to do something to Kin-chans back pack and Rena was trying to break them up. Rena really loved Airin back then.
It's a shame Rena has kinda lost her awkward shyness. I wouldn't mind if she did but she's not even very close to the other girls at all unless she's creeping on the kouhai's and taking them on dates.
I worry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfiN2FM9ZM

What does Rena say when Milky tries to feel her up?

Kore Rangoyate?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7LVmSqXBdo

Never again. ;_;

tfw the Happinesu spammer made me like her.

>>12656746
Me too

>>12656746
>Happinesu spammer makes me find a new member to like
>Jurina spammer makes me hate a member that a liked before

Strange how this works.

>>12655930
Looks like the pv was made after tomochin got her new boobs

G-guys. I really miss Kuumin. What do I do?

>>12656805
Cry, find her twitter, blog or something or go to japan, search for her and stalk her.

>>12656805
Watch old stuff, try not to cry, cry a lot

>>12656779
Yukarun spam are barely 3-4 pics/comments per thread, jurina spam is just the same pics over and over again through all the threads and bashing all the other girls

Why is Renapyon so unpopular?

>>12656805
I'm the same with Ogichan.
How they expect me to get over her when they just keep bringing her back?

>>12655930
For being one of the previous gen's most stylish, Mariko has the worst clothes there.

Is there anything similar to Nogizakatte Doko ep115? Even if its outside of AKB.

Yes I'm doing the self insert thing, idgaf.

>>12656947
I'm not really sure what ep 115 was about but I'm guessing it's delusions. Nogibingo 2 had something like that, ep 3 and 9.

>>12656887
Nerds just don't get the whole udon joke.

I think she's awesome.

>>12656669
Milky needs to stop touching people with her filthy hands

>>12656946
That explains why Ricori went bankrupt.

>>12657012
Even a fucking lesbo like Rena knows not to touch a slut.

>>12656059
Best unit, Best music, 10/10.

>>12656946
She's 28. She's allowed to wear mom jeans and a patchwork bathrobe in public.

>>12655930
Still salty at no Uchida.

After seeing one too many girls mention Korea in positive terms during AKBINGO, as well as the main sub group out there having a Koreaboo/bakachon as main uploader, I'm forced to ask a question of this thread even though I know I shouldn't be spoonfed.
I need someone with the zainichi-spotting power of a harowota to put up, both for my benefit and that of others who don't want to sponsor a thieving, culturally barren Chinese barony's grasping delusions of grandeur, a list of:
- All girls who're confirmed zainichi
- All girls who have expressed interest in the Korea wave or anything else related to Korea outside of a live in Korea (which isn't their decision)
- All groups/teams/girls that have pulled an SDN48 and sung/posted/answered in Korean
- Any sub groups doing variety shows that have no Koreaboos or chon shills on the staff and have never done anything related to Korea
Thanks in advance, and inb4 buttmad gook shills flocking in to sling shit at me. Go eat kimchi and drink ttongsul.

I get hating Korea, but hating on korean translator?
If they're doing a good job I see no problem.

>>12657061
>that level of butthurt

Holy fuck, have you being molested by a korean as a kid?

>>12657121
Altering phrasing to make Japanese or non-Korean-friendly members seem less sympathetic.
Altering phrases to make mentions of Korea seem more positive.
Prioritizing translation and uploading of episodes involving Korea.
Sponsoring culture theft by using Korean-ripped raws or translating from Korean subs.
That's just the beginning.
>>12657126
You clearly don't have even the slightest clue of the relation between the two countries, or even how Koreans and the Korean government have spent the last five decades stealing IP and pop culture, falsifying history, illegally invading Japanese territory and attempting to kill Japanese citizens (Osaka May 2013 stabbings). Please leave before you embarrass yourself, chon drone.

Weeb nationalism on the rise

Nogizaka first album in january, includes all their singles (Main songs) and the couple songs will be voted by fans, results will be announced at their concert on december

>>12657064

>>12657138
Nigga, i know they hate each other, i just don't give a fuck, i'm not japanese or korean, i just like to watch cute girls doing cute things.

>>12657143
>not understanding that Korea is a superficially democratic dictatorship with a practical government monopoly on any and all media
Go look at the Korean "idol groups'" statements regarding the Takeshima issue, and you'll see what I mean. Twelve girls too young to really understand what politics is all about all rattling off the same ultra-right-wing lines. The propaganda on the ferry to occupied Takeshima is also an example - if the US wasn't protecting Korea in order to keep war veterans and their families happy, we'd see major international sanctions for warmongering propaganda like that.
>>12657147
Alright, alright. I just want you to understand that every single second you pour into Korean media, every single positive thing you say about Korea's language/"culture"/people/media and (God forbid) every penny you spend on Korean products or media goes straight into undermining Japanese culture, IP and territorial integrity. The Korean government sponsors a huge plagiarism industry focused on copying Japanese products and selling them to Westerners under the guise of being "Japanese" or even remotely similar, as well as rampant historical revisionism, all of which and more you're sponsoring. Prepare to wave goodbye to Japanese culture as you know it, as Japanese IP is ripped away by a flood of Korean lawsuits and propagandizing K-pop groups flood the West under the guise of being Japanese, sponsored by money given by gullible Westerners thinking that age-old international issues don't matter to them.

>>12657163

Where did you even come from, and why are you talking about Korea in an AKB thread again?

I don't even like Korea, but man, you're on a whole different level of butthurt.

>>12657177
Thank you.
I'm not butthurt as much as I feel I need to put out a clear message, and I feel I do that the best by being loud and abrasive so as to not be ignored. You're proving me right in that right now.

>>12657181
>I feel I need to put out a clear message
You don't. This thread isn't for your hyper weeb anti Korea shit.

Oh, how beautiful. Anyone daring to badmouth little Janny's precious Corea and his darling K-pop groups gets their posts deleted. Guess it's time for those of you who want to post about Japanese culture to find another board, since you're gonna be banned for calling yakiniku "Japanese barbecue" instead of "GLORIOUS COREAN ORIGINAL DISH EQUAL TO HEAVEN NIDA~".

You're right, we all gotta thank H!P.
Thanks H!P for being so incompetent at managing your Kansai division to the point that their employees chose to leave on their own will rather than wasting any more time there, thus speeding up its demise.
Thanks H!P for squandering an unspeakable amount of money on you grandiose Chinese venture nobody cared about, only for it to flop so brilliantly you relegated it to damnatio memoriae.
Thanks for giving Yasusu a succulent opportunity to take over where you failed and flaunt it on your face.
When you have such clumsy goofs as your rival, you have nothing to fear.

>>12656859
I really don't understand how her face can look so ugly in magazines but so cute in g+ videos.

It's hard to come to a single post of incident. But Nishishi knows everyone. Literally. Every major thing she has something to do with it.

>>12657961
Was she like... on the board for some concert or something? Or involved in the creation of some show? Does she host shit regularly? I legit haven't seen or heard of her being involved with anything on the scale of Takamina or Sasshi, or even other members for that matter.

>>12653977
dont follow AKB but who is this in OP?

>>12657976
She is more involved behind the scenes. She doesn't front anything. But she has a hand in a lot of hires/fires, staffing, networking between the groups etc.

>>12657981
Kitagawa ryoha

>>12657395
Manatsu did nothing wrong, faggot.
She did exactly what is expected as an idol. As long as she didn't get caught with her bf while being in the group it doesn't matter.

Made me feel like shit seeing those pictures so shortly after her leaving, though. Like she left the group for that. other then that Manatsu was the shit.

Wait. That dude was her fan? I just assumed it was her classmate or something which is understandable.

>>12658134
Yeah that happens with many members actually, specially the youngest, check out Renapyon's G+ for example

>>12658130
I side with you anon. Glad to see some people here actually understand what the idea behind being an idol is all about : image.
Girls are paid to create and sustain a fantasy. Break the dream = gtfo.
After graduation tho they aren't wotas business anymore, in any way.

>>12658165
If it is of any consolation, I'm sure onee-sama had her share of fun with her backstage before she left ifyouknowwhatImean

Right, only management knows. It could have been better if the true AKB center story were followed closely.

I like the song and the video. It has a feature I always wonder about Japanese videos. Why do they like to show people running? It also happens in anime.

Anyone know where I can find an unsubtitled (or at least soft subbed) copy of AKB48 48minutes special?

>>12657395
>cutesy girls
milky ain't cute tho

>>12658928
>Why do they like to show people running?

The figures chasing after members in the PV are supposed to represent the pressure from fans and from members themselves, to a broader degree it symbolizes anything that instills in AKB a desire to push onwards and never become dull. Again, this is the official explanation from the video director.

>>12656059
Non-lewd nurses for me, please

>>12658742
porque (because) =/= ¿por qué? (why?)

Anyway: you can follow any talent you want, but of course it's wrong to refer to them oshimen after graduation. They're not even idols anymore.

>>12658165
I wonder if you'll kill yourself when Rena eventually gets a guy...

Manatsu left the industry and choose a normal happy life instead. The reality is that only a small percentage among the whole group would be able to succeed solo after graduation. It's wise to know when to call it quits instead of clinging on to the disillusion of fame and wealth. So much better than seeing some turning to the sex industry whatever their reason maybe.

>>12659086
Is it where the "saddle" meme comes from? Because her bf's face literally looks like a mountain bike saddle?

>>12659091
How are the individually groups doing in terms of gaining popularity? I would rank them like this, but I'm not really sure:

Nogizaka46 > HKT48 > SKE48 = AKB48 = NMB48

>>12659106
If we look at first week sales (can't get yearly sales yet for new singles) from singles this year and the peak of last year:

AKB:
Heart Ereki (2013.10.30): 1,203,586
Kimi no Hohoemi wo Yume ni Miru (2013.12.11): 1,033,336
Mae Shika Mukanee (2014.02.26): 1,091,406
Labrador Retriever (2014.05.21): 1,662,265
Kokoro no Placard (2014.08.27): 1,005,774

SKE:
Sansei Kawaii! (2013.11.20): 449,003
Mirai to wa? (2014.03.19): 397,874
Bukiyou Taiyou (2014.07.30): 324,076

NMB:
Kamonegikkusu (2013.10.02): 374,644
Takane no Ringo (2014.03.26): 406,579
Rashikunai (2014.11.05): ???,??? (comes out tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see)

HKT:
Melon Juice (2013.09.04): 268,897
Sakura, Minna de Tabeta (2014.03.12): 276,799
Hikaeme I Love You! (2014.09.24): 277,534

Nogizaka:
Barrette (2013.11.27): 395,000
Kidzuitara Kataomoi (2014.04.02): 457,837
Natsu no Free & Easy (2014.07.09): 421,622
Nandome no Aozora ka? (2014.10.08): 479,000

It's kind of a pointless exercise looking at AKB sales in this comparison. Their singles' senbatsu are comprised of girls from all groups, and they're given the most media and management attention of all groups and spike at unexpected times. At the very least you can see how important media campaigning is by looking at LabRet.

We can see that SKE is actually dropping hard. Worth noting that SKE was pulling 500k+ sales first week back in 2012, so they've really under-performed in sales this year.

I don't know what to make of HKT. They don't seem to be picking up much pace.

NMB fluctuated a bit over last year, but seems to be back to making steady progress. Not much data to go off yet here though.

Nogizaka are/were definitely on the rise. It'll be interesting to see how the scandal affects sales on next single. my bet is not much

>>12659327
I wonder what type of excuse you're gonna give yourself when she eventually proves you wrong years later.

>>12659390
Up until now Rena has only expressed an interest in women and girls. She's a self confessed lolicon and admits she will date a girl.
Not sure where you're getting that she's interested in men.
Maybe she will change later on and decide to get married.
But I'm not even /u/ and Rena makes it obvious she's into other girls pretty heavily.

>>12658440
the irrelevant one

>>12659365
Thanks for the comprehensive post.

>>12659390
Not him, nor do I care about whether she is gay or not, but given the state of homosexuality acceptance in Japan (very few rights, e.g. no marriage, no anti-discrimination laws), it isn't unusual for gay men and women to end up married to the opposite sex, esp. under heavy pressure from family and society to get married. Although a lot of that stuff is looking to be under fire soon with LGBT rights being a relatively hot topic now in Japan.

>>12659390
How many idols has Tanaka fucked? All of Momoiro Clover, a bunch of Nogizaka, who knows how many H!P girls, and now he's moving into SKE.

>>12659365
I don't see how any SKE fans could be happy with the direction of the group. Girls like Kuumin and Shawako randomly graduate, Yuria is sent off to AKB, and they flood the group with girls no one wanted from AKB like Suzuran and Oba.

>>12659485
I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're wrong.

Shit-tier:
>Yui
Aspie shitlord, annoying as shit, can barely function in society or even at home (Ui is practically her caretaker). Careful of people who like Yui, they're the type who would take advantage of an autistic kid. Literally no excuse for liking Yui.

>Azusa
You're letting your lolicon show, bro. But really Azusa is a little asswipe, I doubt any senior in real life would want a girl like her around. This is the tsundere imouto archetype done badly.

Okay-tier:
>Mio
Pretty decent character, but massive moe bait and essentially weeb's first crush material, which is fine but kind of boring.

Megami-tier:
>Mugi
Rich, humble, kind, talented, mysterious, and great sense of humour (losing only to Ritsu). And dem brows doe.

Bro-tier:
>Ritsu
Legend. She acts as a foil for all the shitter characters making them work. She's at the center and cause of almost all of Mio's moe scenes, and acts as a boke for her on countless occasions. She plays along with Yui's shitter hijinks so that Yui doesn't just look like a knob head starting shit all the time. She leads the teasing dynamic the older members have with Azusa which helps alleviate annoyance from how much of a cunt Azusa is.

I dare you to prove that a bunch of chinks who bought the license off the original group are even remotely relevant to the Japanese fanbase. The foreign groups are solely for naïve Westerners who don't recognize a cash-in (JKT48) or a propaganda vehicle (SNH48) when they see it. Alternately, a dumping ground for zainichi no one likes.

>>12659864

SKE's last single went into preorders really late and got released in batches, it's final sales total was almost exactly the same as the previous one. Still down from last year but not by as much.
Also since Nogizaka doesn't have theater activities they're doing more handshakes than the other groups, which inflates sales relative to the others.

Just a joke about the time she has been wearing a wrist cover. If I recall correctly this is the first image of her without the bandages and so.

After seeing one too many girls mention Korea in positive terms during AKBINGO, as well as the main sub group out there having a Koreaboo/bakachon as main uploader, I'm forced to ask a question of this thread even though I know I shouldn't be spoonfed.
I need someone with the zainichi-spotting power of a harowota to put up, both for my benefit and that of others who don't want to sponsor a thieving, culturally barren Chinese barony's grasping delusions of grandeur, a list of:
- All girls who're confirmed zainichi
- All girls who have expressed interest in the Korea wave or anything else related to Korea outside of a live in Korea (which isn't their decision)
- All groups/teams/girls that have pulled an SDN48 and sung/posted/answered in Korean
- Any sub groups doing variety shows that have no Koreaboos or chon shills on the staff and have never done anything related to Korea
Thanks in advance, and inb4 buttmad gook shills flocking in to sling shit at me. Go eat kimchi and drink ttongsul.

Man, those audition episodes on AKBingo are so boring.

I'd rather see the members playing games or some behind the scenes stuff. AKB48 Show is my favorite AKB-related TV program because of the latter.

>>12660396
How can you dislike the auditions, but like AKB48 Show? That's the type of material they always show on there.

>>12660445
It doesn't focus entire episodes on auditions, though. That can get dull fast.

>>12660844
I forgot her name, but there is a member who is at least bi, as people found out that she dated a girl before auditioning.

And there's Nishishi, who I think most people can agree she's a lesbian. She (5 others) said she would have no problem dating a girl, and there was even a segment on Ebi Show talking about her trying to get with the girls in the group.

I'm not trying to go /u/ on you, but I think there are definitely at least some lesbians in the 48/46 groups, not many, but still a few.

>>12660909

>>12660909
Looking at how many girls there are I bet there's at least a dozen lesbians in total.

I'd say Sayanee's obsession with the gay manages to be more repulsive than Momoka's obsession to raise cockroaches. Someone should step ahead and tell her that faggots are objectively gross in real life and carry some of the most lethal disases ever.

They're idols, not Goldberg polyhedra. No need for gay pentagons to fill the gaps between straight hexagons.
