I couldn't recognize her, she changed a bit.
I really liked her when she was in AKB, a pity she left.

>>12841938
That johnnys soon

>>12841940
iinaaaaa

>>12841900
Erepyon is lewd. She started being lewd with fans as soon as she left AKB.

There's a few pictures of her with female fans she met up with as soon as she graduated.

>>12841941

I doubt it. DIdn't she retire from show business altogether earlier this year?

>>12841956
@love__kurage

>>12842035
Because only people in show business use twitter.

I don't generally get annoyed by unrealistic variety projects, like shoujiki shougi, but the recent Ebicalcio's dokidoki meter with all different girls just... works so badly. Depends mostly on 1) how high the base heart rate is and 2) how reactive your sympathetic nervous system is (biological/personality trait, some people's heart rates go up faster).

Especially problematic when e.g. Azumarion probably got a high heartrate due to having the highest to start with, THEN being close to a famous/top-dog senior and feeling nervous, compared to girls who are close in seniority; plus being more pure than other girls, thus more reaction in heart rate. I think they should have done this with only one girl for all the dansos, or at least deducted the base rate.

The heart rate thing is just a pretense and you're missing the point

>>12842215
Dude. it's variety, not a scientific test.

Harugon preaches it

And she does more than once in the same program

She's a really sweet, positive girl, and Jakarta's a shithole.

Is Yuasa gay?

>>12842244
I know, I'm usually not annoyed by these but it just seems like the whole test is set up to favor Jurina.

>>12842258
It's SKE, of course they will favor Jurina.

How popular is Rena Matsui?

https://youtu.be/lJGcvmsn_BE

>>12845289
she's one of SKE's center and she ranked 5th on the senbatsu. so she's very popular

>>12845289
Is the second best Matsui so it's quite popular

>>12845338
>second
what

>>12845340
Rena's declined considerably as a personality recently. A lot of the things that endeared her to fans has been lost and a bully has emerged. I can see her losing places in next sousenkyo.

>>12845346
>>12845338
I'm quite new to AKB. Is it possible she's very popular because of her lesbian persona?

>>12845355
Rena has a very ojousama persona and as a very kind person. She was bullied a lot at school. She's also a pervert and likes girls, especially loli's. This endeared her to fans since her dancing skills were pretty bad but she has a good voice. Most fans enjoy Rena because she's a hard worker and is an otaku.
So yes the fact she likes girls is a big part of why fans like her.

>>12845355
For those /u/ fags sure, the rest of the world knows that's just business like Rino

>>12845360
>She was bullied a lot at school
Maybe you know where can read more about that?

>>12845365
It's from some old shows and things like AKBingo. Don't know what episodes. She only had one other friend in school and was so nerdy that everyone else kind of kept away from her.

>>12845370

I remember she was sore and moody as fuck during rehearsals when Jurina was selected over her for UZA. She needs to loosen up and enjoy life a bit more.

>>12845877
Wasn't Mayu the original center but she rejected because she had no confidence to being good enough for that dance or something like?

>>12845873
She said so herself m8

>>12845921
Yep

http://tvcap.info/2014/12/29/mayu.gif

My goodness how deluded Renafags are? she's a horrible person behind the camera and they worship her just because say "(some random member) daisuki" in front of a camera

>>12846017
How is she horrible? It seems Rena is well-liked among the members.

>>12846026
Well, she's on SKE to begin with

best hafu

>>12845921
I was under the impression that she was rejected when she wasn't learning the dance fast/well enough, rather than she herself rejecting the center.

>>12846017
i like her but i dont push the pedo lesbian meme

>didnt watch hardboiled wonderland

>>12846063
Yes. She was given the task couldn't handle it and got replaced.

Rena is a bully and she needs to stay away from Nogi.

>>12846232
Nogi is a bunch of bullies anyway

>>12846247

>>12845346
>>12846017

Wait, what? How dense are you guys? There's no actual evidence of Rena bullying anyone, besides the joke of her telling Oba Mina to watch her diet. The rest is just /jp/ exaggerating it into a meme.

Is she an actual bully? Maybe yes, maybe no. The best you can do is speculation.

And I doubt she was bullied any more in school than the average kid. She was like the captain of kendo club or something, so while she was one of the nerdy kids, she certainly had a much more active social life than most of /jp/.

>>12846374
>She was like the captain of kendo club or something,
She did try kendo but have you seen that girl run?

>>12845680
To her credit, they haven't given Kokoro no Placard one single chance after it was announced. You'd expect the least they would do is play the song in the commercials starring Mayuyu, but they'd much rather pull Heavy Rotation out of the repository (again!) and spin to the lyrics into a sales pitch instead.

>>12846374
No she wasn't captain she was a kendo club member and only for a year. She was bullied in high school before joining SKE. She loves her school friend who was her only friend through it.
I'm not sure Rena is a bully. I think she can be tough but that's not a bad thing. I also think she can be very affectionate. But there has been a change in personality recently. Something has probably happened personally with her.
There are a number of things about her bullying though. A member claimed that she was a lot like Black in real life and that the Rena people knew was an act.
There was another incident of her spelling out 'You're ugly' in japanese using the first letter of each sentence in a farewell letter to a graduating member who some said she had bullied to leave.
These were both a couple of years ago.
Rena is an exceptional actress. It could be true. But I'm not sure.

1) It was promoted like no tomorrow, just didn't catch on.
2) Baitoru probably refused KnP (assuming they suggested it)/would have refused KnP if it had been suggested. It's not like AKB has 100 % control over the commercials.

>>12846402
Dunno if you missed it, but they tried to marketing it as KFC 2.0 for quite a while after release, it just didn't work that well.

Feels bad admitting this, but I sometimes have the same thoughts.
But there's no turning back now, once you've been made aware of perfection you'll never make yourself unaware of it. I'm just waiting for VR, AkiP will surely make use of it to obtain wota shekels.

delusional morons and your bully fantasies. How you get off on it, I'll never now. Is this some sort of white knighting 2.0.

All the songs are promoted equal, some causes a huge impact others not, no one will remember kibouteki when they start to promote the new single as usual

KNP is a good song but that's all, not good enough to a senkyo single and the rip-off concept was the biggest mistake, and I'm a Mayu oshi but the single is a flop

>>12846454

You'd think so, but they haven't even made a sequel to 1/149 yet. All they've done lately are smartphone trash.

>>12846416
>1) It was promoted like no tomorrow, just didn't catch on.
Not really, compare and contrast it with KFC which was used as the theme song for Odaiba weeks before the single was even on sale and it still keeps being used to this day in commercials (case in point: Toyota Prius). Outside of the customary performances on music programs, Kokoro no Placard received zero endorsements instead.
>It's not like AKB has 100 % control over the commercials
Whenever AKB does a tie-in for a commercial, they always use one of their latest song or any coupling included inside their latest single.
I mean, look at this:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKB48のタイアップ
It's at least uncommon that they'd prefer using songs so old instead of their more recent releases.

>>12846410
>There was another incident of her spelling out 'You're ugly' in japanese using the first letter of each sentence in a farewell letter to a graduating member who some said she had bullied to leave.

http://akbgnews.doorblog.jp/archives/1009882155.html

Ahaha, are you're talking about this? It's some shit from 2009 and it didn't even say "You're ugly". The last two lines seemed to spell "muda" but it's not even part of the message, Rena's intention was to spell Tsukina's name with adjectives and the last two lines at the end just asked the readers to guess who she was talking about in the riddle.

>>12843520
If you'd take half an hour out of your life to actually bother with the facts, you'd see that it's so much more than tinfoiling. But I guess that once they've already got you, they manage to convince you that it's not even worth it to listen to anyone else's opinions. An old cult tactic, really - first the Jehovah's Witnesses, then the Scilons, now proudly used by the chons.

>>12847179
sakura will never be this cute again

>>12846774
The only thing you need ti be an Idol is to be kawaii. Or ugly, but with that thing, like Nakamura Mariko, Izurina, Sashihara or Masamura.

>>12847534
That happend when they have too much Sex with managers. Look at Paruru or Mayuyu, they are pure and that make them beauty.

>>12847562
>Nakamura Mariko

YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING BACK

>>12847234
She doesn't have a very well defined character, and people got annoyed at her push.

>>12847662

Guys, I haven't been around for more than two years. So many members have fucking changed I just don't know anymore. How do I get back into this thing? I can't tell left from right. Where do I go to study? So many questions.

Thanks in advance as always. And sorry for the trouble.

>>12847724
Motherfucker, even members didn't notice when someone completely unrelated was planted in the group.

Just focus on a few girls. Ignore everyone else.

>>12847746
But I used to know every member by their name and basic information about them.

If I should focus on only a few, who are the ones worth focusing on then?

>>12847760
Chose the kawaitets like Komiyama.

>>12847760
Dude, much has changed Yuko has graduated, also we have Sakura from HKT as Center in a AKB
Single and Ikoma Rina from Nogizaka46 has a Kennin in Team B. If you just want to check the Teams and stuff go on Stage48.

>>12847760
If you can't find anyone to pay attention to on your own, then you should probably give up and find a different idol/group to follow.

>>12847760
Tomochin has huge tits now.

>>12847779
That Ikoma Rina looks cute. Actually, most of Nogizaka looks cute, how come? Also, Stage48 is kinda kill for me right now, I don't know why.

>>12847789
I wouldn't say huge but oh shit she does.

>>12847787
I do follow a few H!P groups but I can't leave my burning passion for AKB.

>>12847809
Isn't it like this for all of us?
You should watch one of the most recent concerts, thats always a good way to see all of them in action.

>>12847724
Iriyama and Kawaei Rina were atacked by a virgin terrorist.

>>12847802
Nogizaka was formed when AKB was already huge, so they attracted prettier girls (you can kinda see this with younger AKBs too),
Nogizaka seems to be much less of a time investment than AKB, so it doesn't have to be a full time job for all but the couple most popular girls.

And Stage48 has been getting worse for years, but it took a real downturn when the Indonesians showed up.

>>12847833
Yo what. What's wrong with some of these people man, don't tell me he was a fan.

>>12847836
Time to study up on Nogizaka then, I guess!

>>12847829
Thanks, that's a good idea. Any recommendations? I know kohaku happened quite recently. Will I get anything out of watching that?

>>12847862
>don't tell me he was a fan
He wasn't.
He also wasn't very bright, since he used a fucking saw like a knife as if he was in Higurashi or School Days.

>>12847862
Not a fan, just a guy who wanted to hurt somebody and get in the news. Unfortunately it still caused them to tighten security at events, so they're less personal than they used to be.

>>12847892
>>12847881
At least there's nobody stupid enough to try and kill their oshimen yet.

>>12847829
>Isn't it like this for all of us?
Nope.

>>12847809
>I do follow a few H!P groups
It's like you don't even know what being an idol fan means.
If you can't stay loyal, stay out. We're better off without these half-assed weebs, Tumblrinas and DD Indonesians anyway.

Who's your oshimen by the way guys? Has any of the new members won your heart over or have you stayed true over the years? My oshimen was Sae, which I don't think is going to change. She hasn't graduated yet, right?

>>12847924
I was an Amina Oshi, but since she graduated I've reverted to being a DD.

No one has stood out enough for me to call them my new oshimen, but I like a lot of them enough to keep following the group.

>>12847760
>If I should focus on only a few, who are the ones worth focusing on then?

Miyawaki sakura
Tomonaga mio
Komiyama haruka
Tashima meru

Its crazy how much gravure she is in. Personally I don't find what the appeal of her gravure is but thats just
>opinions
I dont really follow HKT, but with so much gravure and akb activities Sakura must not be in fukuoka that much.

>>12847924
Sae for me too, but she was MIA for over a year because of that bullshit with SNH. During that time I picked up Karen and Momoka who are even weirder tomboys. Now Sae's back so I guess I've got 3.

>>12848487
>Implying their breaking up makes Karen any less hot for suu-chan

>>12848540
Just shows that the ideals behind the 48 groups don't mesh with foreign mindsets. SNH is full of spoiled brats who can't be bothered to even practice, and JKT is a bunch of weeaboo Muslim nobodies hanging on for dear life to the AKB outcasts that they were granted to pull them out of the mud.
At the very least the only possible group we seem to be at the risk of getting is a Taiwan-based group, and as they were under Japanese administration for a good bit, their culture is a great deal closer and thus less likely to result in another desperate, culture-thieving mockery like SNH or JKT.
And thank God we don't have a chon group. Now all we need is for Gangjeon and Kuramochi to graduate, and we can finally have a 48 project that works the way it was supposed to.

>>12848537
what I really don't understand is why people would rather have her on a cover than sayaka
but yeah
> opinions

>>12848573
Because Sayaka let herself get roped into undermining the 48 project by selling out to the chon propaganda machine. At least it seems that the Japanese fans are letting go of her, as well as they should.
It's sad, but she's not who she used to be. It's sad how she can't see how she's being used to start another Korea Wave.

>>12848573
>what I really don't understand is why people would rather have her on a cover than sayaka
People are just voting for their favourite girl rather than who might have the best cover.

>>12848588
oh it's you again

>>12848605
Since you've obviously ignored what I've said before, I won't waste too much time on this.
Do remember that if you have any love for the 48 project, Japanese pop culture or even Japan as a whole, you'd do best to wash your hands of that chon.
I hate to sound like a /pol/ wingnut, but Abe just got re-elected, and the Osaka stabbings as well as the saw attacks both seem to have failed in undermining Japanese trust in their own society. If the happening is to happen, it'll be soon. Make a difference while you can. If the ttongsul warriors can't get it done their usual way, they'll start pushing harder, and those of us on Japan's side have to push back.

>>12847449
If you'd take 10 seconds to actually cite the bullshit you spout with a legitimate source then maybe people would give a fuck.

>>12848621
If people aren't gonna listen, they aren't gonna listen. If people cared, they'd look it up - with a halfway decent mastery of moon, you can find all the evidence you ever needed and more.
Here, have a matome blog and a 2ch board dedicated to the topic.
http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2135504315635379101
http://hayabusa6.2ch.net/nida/
Both actually have varied viewpoints showing up, so I'm not going full conspiranoid circlejerk here.
Other keywords can be 韓国パクリ, しばき隊 and マスゴミ, and for official material you might want to look on Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website in case you don't trust me (http://www.mofa.go.jp/ - though there's a limit to what they can say because of the leftist/zainichi media clique, so take it with a grain of salt). You can also search for "Takeshima dispute" if you really want English results, though a quick Google search for me shows that a main Japanese-friendly site has been taken down (while all the Korean results somehow stay up).
And if you'd look into the comments of Korean "idols" on the Takeshima issue, you'll see how firmly the Korean government is entwined with the country's entertainment business. You can look at Softbank and Lotte to see how they manage to worm their way into Japan.
You can also Google "Samsung industrial espionage" - it turns up mostly other scandals than the ones towards Sony and Panasonic, but it'll give you an idea of exactly how little the chons care for the idea of rightful ownership.

Not this shit again.

>>12848698
You're dumber than I thought if you can't see how it's relevant. It's a natural extension of liking Japanese media and Japanese culture, and the very fact that you don't seem to care is proof that their media influence has already gotten to you. It's not hard to see if you look for it - US coverage of Korea is always positive, while Japan only shows up when the topics are social problems, the lost generation and child pornography. Google the CRAC (Counter-Racist Action Collective) - they're the ones stamping anything Japan-friendly "racist" and attempting to get it pulled.

>>12848717
So, in your opinion, who has more control over the media: The Koreans or the Jews?

>come out of the closet on AKBingo
>write a song for your girlfriend
>go to her house and prepare a surprise party with just the two of you including rose petals and dressing up in that cosplay she always wanted you to dress up in for sex
>do your best to meet her as much as possible even though you barely sleep
>she leaves you for a younger cuter slut who's ske's bike
I can just imagine Karen awake at 2am calling Sumire and sobbing down the phone wanting her back. And Sumire just like "It's over" and hanging up.
You know what? FUCK sumire.

>>12848733
That's not a wholly stupid question.
In purely literal terms, it's the Jews, no question. Mostly, though, that's because they were very limited in their job opportunities in the past, and as such jumped on the media industry when it started - most of them were literate and with some experience in finance in the first place. There are a lot of Jews in media, but they're not malicious.
The Koreans have control only in Japan, Korea and the US, but their control is politically tinged and actively malicious.
And yes, I understand that this is a troll question, but I can as well share my opinions as a matter of principle.

>>12848744
Karen pls

>>12848751
-Karen's G+

I don't get into /u/ shenanigans, but Karen is totally gay, right?

>>12848812
I get the feeling she thinks the gay stuff is funny, but she's really bad at joking about it so people think she's half serious

>>12848812
Who knows if it's real or business. But she's the least business out of the bunch.

Tano's got dem abs.

>>12847924
I've got like 3 oshimens. I know this is unacceptable and disgusting but those 3 captured my heart and choosing just one of them is quite hard for me to do so. those three are Kojimako,Mayuyu and Karen.

He rated Sakura slightly fashionable. Tano being based is like "Are you sure?". Reversed his decision and rated Sakura slightly unfashionable.

>>12849863
I think... fashion dude gives her a "kinda hot" rating (as in good, not temperature), but it's a winter fashion episode and Tano points this out, then fashion dude reevaluates and gives her "kinda ugly" rating (I think because it's sleeveless so it would be cold?)

>>12849879

Based Uematsu and Tano.

A more complete list from this episode

Tano changing Uematsu's mind
Megane Yuihan
Yuria baka outfit
Uematsu telling Chori that she dresses like someone who was born a boy but then became a girl

>>12850153
I don't see how Paruru's gross shoulder pad coat is good fashion. Bitch looked like a middle aged real estate agent from 1985.

>>12850192
Yeah, the coat was gross. The handbag looked pretty weird too.

>>12850337
paruru as uninterested as always

You know these awards are shit when KFC didn't win and now Nogizaka isn't even nominated

>This commercial
gets me every time

>>12847276
Maybe I can start off by telling you that in this day and age there's no difference whatsoever between joining an idol group and joining a talent agency straight away.

"Gee, I wanna be famous" - the straightforward way
>Be a girl aged 14 or above
>Participate to talent scout auditions for big agencies, such as HoriPro Caravan or Oscar Promotion's pageants
>If the agency sees you as a promising human resource, you're hired
>Get free acting / vocal training as part of the contract's perks
>However, most of these agencies can't afford letting you sit there doing nothing, they want people with ready firepower even with little preparation, so you'll end up doing idol-like jobs like in Oha Star
>When and if the agency sees it fit, they start handing down to you drama roles / solo singles / variety show parts

"Gee, I wanna be famous" - idol version
>Be a girl aged 14 or above
>Enter the auditions for big idol groups with connections all over the show business, like AKB
>If the agency sees you as a promising human resource, you're hired, get a main contract with AKS
>Get free acting / vocal training as part of the contract's perks
>In the meantime, take part in dramas, songs, and musical as a part of the group, right from the get go
>Eventually one of the associate agencies (in most of the instances, it's the same high profile agencies you would've ended up joining by taking the "straightforward way") notice you and offer you an individual contract
>More individual activities, as these associate agencies start handing down to you drama roles / solo singles / variety show parts

>>12850430
And in case you say that the difference is the presumed "love-ban" rule, no. Even big-ass agencies like Oscar Promotion forbid their unders from having relationships as a core condition for their media debut. Depending on when they join and their results, this extends until at least the age of 25.
http://biz-journal.jp/2013/03/post_1579_4.html
The reason in both cases is one and only: focusing on the job for what little time the members are spending inside the group, rather than a matter of image it's a matter of making this stay more fruitful and less troublesome for both parties of the contract.

That's the same Yasusu has been repeating for years anyway

http://www.j-cast.com/2010/09/19076069.html?p=all

>Does AKB48 really have a relationship ban? On what condition you are dismissed from your job?

>Akimoto: It's a matter of which one should you pick, job or relationship? For example, if you dream of (getting to the) Koushien, I think things like a having a relationship are infeasible. If you have time to spare for relationships, wouldn't it be better (to use this time) to practice? AKB48 is also a place for training. In the case of underage members, it's particularly hard, maybe the same as being expelled from school? Members are assigned a report card by the staff and manager. Moreso than dance and singing achievents, what's appraised is one's attitude towards life. Even if I say I want a member to be like this, there are times when I'm being opposed by the managers and staff due to their vision of life. This is not to say that a certain girl is good or bad, maybe for them this school's style doesn't suit and there are cases where a school transfer will make them grow remarkably.

>>12850337
Thanks. A lot of soulful and enka songs.

>>12849014
No, that's unacceptable. "Kami" should at least be all across groups if not entirely exclusive (no other oshis).

>that awful singing part when they focus on sasshi and yukirin

>>12849014
>Do you actually support them or are they just the girls that you like the most?

kojiharu, miichan, sae, mayuyu. paruru, and annin

AKB should reject the invitation to this sort of events, they just want to laugh at them, idols and specially akb aren't considered as a real artist or real music, and is more embarrassing when they perform with a +32nin senbatsu, no wonder why is the most hated group

I didn't catch that, but it explain why I liked her outfit that much.

>>12847603

Do you think sopme AKB members consume drugs in her private life?

>>12850756
file her down or make the other wear stilts.

>>12850753
Togasaki likes his synthetic weed, I'm sure he's done drugs with a member or two and fucked them afterwards.

>>12849576
>>12849607
In my mind, I'd still do her rather than any other 48G member (well, besides my oshimen). I don't know; she's been showing us her body for so long and getting us accustomed to her face and being molested through and through, that it's like TEH classical beauty for me at this point. I'd just have to choose and do her, no matter what.

>>12849632
She's out of control.

>>12852854
I will watch it for sure, especially because it's noon here in europe while it's airing.
So even after the whole show it's still like +/- 6pm here.

So I am neww to the 48group. I watched AKBINGO, NOGIBINGO and SKE48 Ebi Friday Night.

Why is SKE48 so fucking ugly and why is NOGIBINGO and better show than AKBINGO? NOGIBINGO is 100x funnier and SKE48 looks like they all have the downs. I am really drunk and SKE48 still looks really fucking ugly.

>>12853308
Every group has their appeal.

AKB: The Original
SKE: The Best Dancers
NMB: The Comediennes
HKT: The Immoutos
Nogizaka: The Princesses

>>12853308
Evfen then MC for SKE48 is fucking ugly and the MC for NOGIBINGO is funnier than Bad Boys. Why is the 48Group so shit and the revial group much better? Is there like some major fucking QC going on for the NOGI group or something?

>>12853324
I hope SKE can dance, because their variety level is down the drain and thei ugly as fuck! I took shits that I rather be in a rahtership more than SKE. At least AKB is tolenable. Maybe NOGI is just better. I don;'t reallyt know.,i'm actyually confused, it just seems that Nogi is way better in every aspec.t

Thabnk you for explaining this to me 4reventg though I doubnt I will remember this.

>>12853375
I've seen niggers who spell better than you.

>>12853365
I'm just telling it like it is. The members in AKB got worst. Only one decent is Minighishi and Nogi is still good. Tano is gettiung prewtyy good on the vateriy leverl, but AKB is not as good as NOGI BINGO but better than SKE. I can't even believer they have a 3rd season for SKE Friday. Who the fuck is still watching that?

>>12853374
At least they're better than JKT. Their MVs have a budget and their fans less annoying.
