WHERE IS YUNANA? DELETE THIS SHITTY EARLY THREAD.

>>17029670

Please delete this. We weren't ready.

All that spam to get to 1000th. You guys are pathetic. Stop caring about what number it says in the OP.

This is a good thread since it's not a troll one, so I'll let it slip.

>>17029689

Its done!

You can all do to bed now

Posting to be part of history. Enjoy

>>17029700

It's SEA time now and the spam stopped.
Huh, interesting.

Tanodoge does not approve of this thread. It discriminates against sister and rival groups.

>>17029670
OP's oshimen is a slut. Look at all the men lining up to get inside of her.

>>17029712
>2011
Says all you need to know, really.

So, was it worth it?

Ha ha

op should've been aki-p but this will do

We waited 999 threads for this underwhelming and shitty OP? This is why we need an unbiased janny.

>>17029720
Now we can put this shitshow behind us, anon. Just leave it. I'm glad I slept through the previous thread.

Hopefully we can go back to slower and comfy threads now.

im migrating to the flanfly thread
see you later sayonara naachan spammer

oh my...

>>17029725
I'm truly devastated that all your hard work spamming to get your favorite girl in the OP came to nothing.

start a thread with this pic

>>17029670

Okay now let's get into some real discussion. What is the future of the 48 franchise? How will it evolve? The Chinese 48 groups are creating like 10 more groups and subunits. I'd really enjoy the creation of subunits for AKB48. Maybe a group of girls born in the 2000s. Maybe more polished and produced ways for them to show their personalities (AKA not 360p showroom).

Will the 48 franchise ever try going a but more global? Collabing with Korean or American artists or producers maybe?

Comfy thread? Fuck you, look he's still here, spamming images to create "HIS" new thread.

One day i will get over my oshi graduation. Maybe.

>>17029741
Bring your shitty discussion to stage48

>>17029741
That last line is the most repulsive thing to ever grace any thread. Be gone filthy normie.

Hmm...

>>17029748
You'll get over it when she posts a picture with her boyfriend in a couple of months.

>>17029735
You're not that smart are you?

>>17029753
Don't be afraid of change anon. The reason AKB is declining is because their too old fashioned. It seems that Kojima understood this and is trying to break into the foreign markets.

>>17029741
More girls and more events. Less focus on individual girls and creating stars, more focus on earning money.

Nope. 46/48 is incestuous and will continue to use Aki-P and the same composers they always do. It's sad as fuck, because there are many great Japanese composers out there that they could use. Imagine Nakata Yasutaka composing a single.

>>17029764
Nyan was always normie bait.

>>17029768
>http://stage48.net/forum/
Go. Please.

>>17029768
He's really greedy imo. Once he dies, I hope his successor has a more modern mindset. AKB is outdated. They'll never reach their full potential.

>>17029769
Kojima is trying to help her kouhai by traveling the world and getting AKB's name out there. It's not a bad thing.

>>17029741
>The Chinese 48 groups are creating like 10 more groups and subunits.
Jesus Christ, there are ~80 members and five team in SHN already

>>17029768
Aki-P is not a composer though

aki-p will sell the groups to the highest bidder when the time is right

>>17029768
It should be less girls and more events, fool.

>>17029778
There's a reason Japanese wotas call him a greedy pig.

>>17029780
>Aki-P is not a composer though
Hence why I said "Aki-P AND.." Sorry if I was being unclear, I just woke up.

>>17029780

>>17029786
Exactly. Lay off with the auditions for a while. Adopt a training system like the Koreans. Try being more experimental with the music.

>>17029791
> Adopt a training system like the Koreans.
You mean training their bodies with plastic surgeries?

>>17029791
fuck off you kpop piece of shit

Mods deleting my posts, /akbg/ is not a fascist thread you idiot.

>>17029796
No silly anon. Your oshi wasn't trained in dance and vocal properly.

>>17029786
Of course I agree with you. I just think that is the mindset they have (more ways to make money).

>>17029768
Luckily no one cares about the music

>>17029803
>wasn't trained in dance
Oh she was.

This is a cute Yoda.

This is my girlfriend.

Bo-boku wa YODA!!!

>>17029812
Lol in fact, can you really call jumping and waving your arms around, dance?

I love AKB but they're not growing. The girls are trapped and cannot reach stardom because the system is corrupt.

>>17029806
This

Why pay for top producers when idiots will gobble up shit anyway

>>17029812
>>17029819
Both of you are new, bring your shit talk to stage48 please motherfucker. Your oshi sleeps with Sony exec everyday.

>>17029819
They're doing just fine

>>17029810
Spooky.

>>17029821
Don't you think it's sad that most of the younger girls think their actually going to become artists or singers? They won't and it's because of the shite music.

>>17029825
>shit talk to stage48 please motherfucker
That's right! AKBG is only for a image dumps.

>>17029825
Why can't you participate in a normal discussion like the rest of us, anon? Why do you have to resort to acting like this?

>>17029832
Yea and we insult others oshis here, there's no future talk here!!! Only unf unf and slurp slurp!!

>>17029825
>bring your shit talk to stage48
You idiots complain about the shitposting but when people are having a real discussion you get all insecure because you know nothing about the actual group and just want to fap to underage jap girls.

>>17029791
>like the Koreans
You knew this was just going to trigger people.

But yes, they do need to train the girls better. Management has gotten so lazy.

That's not to say they don't give them *some* training, vocal coaches etc. but it's obviously not nearly enough, just some teacher invited in for a lesson or two who then sends the girls home to practice on their own.

>>17029850
AKBg is about fanservice, go to HS event anon, that's what akb is about.

You know what, nevermind. I put too much fate in /jp/. Stage48 is mostly girls. I wanted a different perspective on the decline of AKB. Sorry you babies got triggered.

>>17029850
>>17029791
I don't think people have ever cared how great singers they are or how good they are at dancing. Sasshi & Takamina have said as much. Takamina says in the first page of her book that she couldn't sing for shit and was a terrible dancer. I think we can agree that Takamina turned out pretty ok.

They need to focus more on bringing in girls with interesting personalities and letting them be themselves. How many idols from Nogizaka 3rd gen can you name and how many can you name from AKB 16th gen? I'm not saying 3rd gen are better, they are just treating the new gen differently.

>>17029858
Just go, who's your oshi?
Go to her lane, shake her hand, talk with her.
Hopefully your oshi is not Makiho.
Girl's giving out bad vibes.

>>17029866
you're really going all out, huh. I know you aren't leaving but if this means you'll stop posting this particular shit-bait then so much the better

Niggers itt acting like 48g used to produce amazing music

>>17029869
>How many idols from Nogizaka 3rd gen can you name
Well let's see there's uh... drawing a blank. Mizuno? I dunno.

>how many can you name from AKB 16th gen
Muto Orin, Yamauchi Mizuki (the prettiest), Taguchi Manaka (the boy), Umemoto Izumi (the artist), Asai Nanami, Honda Mai (the worst performer), and there's one more on the tip of my tongue.

>>17029881
Lone fucktard in this thread thinks 48G doesn't produce great music. #SadLife

Sorry for wasting an image slot lads, just wanted to post these idiots in the historic thread

Asahinagu (あさひなぐ?) is an ongoing Japanese slice of life sports seinen manga series written and illustrated by Ai Kozaki. Published by Shogakukan, it is serialized on Big Comic Spirits magazine and has been compiled into twenty volumes. It revolves around a naginata club.

That's the stage play version, they are also producing a movie with Nogizaka members. Nishino will be the lead in the movie and it will star Maiyan & Reika. Other members have not been confirmed yet, but I believe some were spotted filming with the rest, like Sayurin.

It's gonna be a fun ride when Bunshun reveal her pictures during SSK.

Damn, just typing that line made me feel like a supreme autist.

>>17029869
>I think we can agree that Takamina turned out pretty ok.
Not really. She started awful and ended even more awful (but in different ways). She *really* needed proper singing lessons. If she'd received them, she might have won more popular appeal.

>>17029936
I'm talking about her career path. I was just giving an example of someone who had no singing or dancing skills, but did well because of her personality. That's what I'm more interested in when it comes to idols.

I'm personally a fan, but I understand why some would not be. I just think as an idol she's a success story.

I think she turned into a great singer and had one of the most distinctive voices, but I wasn't trying to be subjective.

>>17029936
No

>>17029868
Look at these fucking weak-ass poser idols, thinking they're top shit because they get to hold a stick for the camera. Kazumin would kick the shit out of them with one hand tied behind her back. Asuka is so weak, even if she managed to block a strike (which she wouldn't) her arms would still snap in half from the force. Fucking posers.

>>17029936
You should probably listen to singers then, because singing "good" isn't important at all

>>17029944
Her singing was terrible. Maybe it was miles better than when she started, but she always sounded forced. Proper training could have fixed that, and her solo career wouldn't have tanked.

As for her personality, she did well as a foil to other, better members. Once Acchan, Yuko, Mariko, etc. were gone her flaws stopped being funny and became grating, annoying.

>>17029885
And don't you forget it.

>>17029928
When they see how low she ranks anyway, they probably won't bother.

>>17029944
>That's what everyone is more interested in when it comes to idols

>>17029748
I got over mine in 3 months.

>>17029791
I prefer fresh girls rather than trained robots.

>>17029955
I disagree. It wasn't my point at all to talk about how she was as an idol or if she was a good singer, just too give an example that she is a success story starting without any singing skills. It doesn't matter if you think she was or wasn't a good singer towards the end, that's all subjective and it's fine to disagree.

She has a solo singing career, is running for city council, in lots of CMs, on TV & radio nearly every day of the week. She is interacting with high profile people every week. Considering where she was when she started out, she's doing pretty well.

>>17029960
I didn't say that. It's fine if people want gravure idols, idols who are great singers or whatever.

I woke up just to find out that I miss the 999th thread I didn't even sleep for that long. Why the hell did you fucks see the need to spam images just to race to the 1000th thread?

>>17029969
I also slept through it, just be happy no one got to put their meme girl in the OP. We can now go back to having normal threads.

>>17029965
So film their training. Do more training camp-like things.

Post cute Keyakis!

>>17029974
I will after you post some fit ones.

>>17029974

>>17029968
Luckily for her, her height was exactly 148 cm. Otherwise we wouldn't even be talking about her.

>>17029976
Got eem!

>>17029974
Here

Would Mio date a black girl?

>>17029973
Kpop idols go through years of grueling, boring training in a parallel to their grueling, boring school regimen.

I don't want our girls to have to experience that.

>>17029983
Fine anon. I'm not 100% in agreement with the Koreaboo. But the girls do need more training.

>>17029976
>>17029977
>>17029980
Brutal.

>>17029981
(You)

>>17029983
Yeah, you'd rather they go through an idol career of mediocrity. Stripping for hideous jap men and never going beyond Japan in popularity. Have you heard of the Hallyu Wave anon?

>>17029985
Fair enough, that's true.

>>17029985
No, they just need to look and act cute or entertaining

>>17029988
>>>/mu/ seriously fuck off with your korean shit

>>17029987
Cmon anon. I'm asking for a friend.

>>17029990
or sexy! dont forget sexy

She's so cute it hurts.

>>17029993
I have a folder of Mio interacting with black men on my computer, so yeah.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyngXY613L8

>>17029991
I know the truth can hurt anon. The Japanese need to take note from other Asians on how to create better idols.

>>17029997
Or cry enough to get noticed.

>>17029997
Alright, but why did you attach a picture of Komi?

>>17029988
Fuck off, you don't need to just adopt the korean training model to be globally successful. It is far more complex than that.

And why do we need global appeal? Some things are better when adapted only for their own environment. I wouldn't demand a charming small-town theatre group to pander to the nearby city slic kers if it meant giving up what made them unique.

>>17030002
Please share. My friend would appreciate it.

>>17030004
don't care fuck off

>>17030002
We know you do, Sweden.

>>17030004
>>17029988
Anon, they are completely different things. They have different goals. Would you rather AKB had a million different sub-units like SNH with a focus on being like a 4-piece group? Because that is what it sounds like you are asking for.

>>17030004
Twice's new song is pretty shit though.

>>17029974

>>17030019
talk about it on /mu/ nobody gives a shit

>>17030009
>giving up what made them unique
Yeah, striping for hideous jap men sure is unique. There's so much potential overseas waiting for AKB. So many of my friends want to get into idols but the language barrier and censorship prevent them. AKB is a niche edgy thing now.

>>17029988
Yes exactly. They're idols after all, not musicians or artists. Koreans pump money into idols because they have nothing else, their music industry is a fucking wasteland compared to Japan.

>>17030013
WTF. How did you know? >>>/bant/502439

>>17029988

That would be awesome!!

>>17030024
>their music industry is a fucking wasteland compared to Japan

This conversation is more suited for /mu/ but I you are absolutely delusional. From a global perspective, Korea is lightyears ahead of Japan.

I don't want to get too far off-topic but all I'm saying is that AKB is lacking compared to other girl groups in asia.

>>17030035
They. Are. Different. Things.

They don't have the same goals.

>>17030032
I love you anon

>>17030034
Oh so you know Japanese then? Is that why you frequent this board instead of 2ch??? Makes alot of sense.

>>17030041
fantastic memes. I can tell you're interested in a sincere conversation on this topic and aren't just shitposting

You are comparing Tennis and Badminton.

>>17030035
Kpop is teenie-bopper bubbblegum bullshit

Stop acting like its great music

>>17030046
and you are replying to the wrong person

>>17030044
Yeah, my last couple of replies were weak. It's hard to think straight when talking about something you're passionate in. I won't bother anymore though. Let's go back to the sexualization of minors, amaright.

>>17030035
>Korea is lightyears ahead of Japan
In producing generic pop music. It's because they stopped copying Japan in everything they do and started copying the US.

>>17030004
The thing is, that japan is large enough of a place that there is not really any need to desperately try to expand like the korean pop groups have to.
Japans economy >>>>>> korean economy
Its not that the jap music business doesnt know what it takes to go global, they just dont care enough for it since they can easily milk enough money domestically when it comes to idol groups.
In more marginal music genres, you can see that bands like one ok rock, babymetal etc. have reaped international success, since they are the ones that actually need to expand outside of japan.

Why no love for Kanarin? Is this mean I can have her for myself?

Anyway what's with the surge of shitposting lately?

>>17030050
>passionate in
right, some dumbass SEA. who would have guessed

>>17030055
Must be holiday somewhere.

>>17030035
Korea has better pop and hip hop

Japan is superior in every other genre

Back in the day idols could actually sing (but not dance).

>>17030055
I love her. Her popularity skyrocketed after she got in the Senbatsu, so you're gonna have a lot of competition.

Depends on the kind of shitposting you're talking about. Different kinds come and go.

>>17030057
The self hate is real. Believe it or not but I'm actually an American girl. Anyone can be passionate about idols dude.

>>17030050
>Let's go back to the sexualization of minors
Yes please!

>>17030065
what you are is a fucking idiot

>>17030055
I prefer this kind of shitposting to picture spam. Each to their own I guess.

Fun fact:

The worst thread personality with a confirmed country of origin is Jurina-spammer, who is British.

Doesn't Sayaka being the most popular idol prove Koreans were right all along?

>>17030055
She isnt attractive, thats all

>>17030067

>>17030103

>>17030108
Yeah sure Alejandro

janny, offtopic /mu shit going around, i know you are here, do something.

>>17030108
You guys keep talking about that imaginary person but I don't see her.

>>17030112
It's 10am in Spain.

>>17029939
Finally an idol.

>>17030111
I'll elaborate.
For fuck sake, do your research before you talk shit here anon. Korean send their first batch of idol to Japan for training, and after that they build up their training module, and after 5 years upgraded their entertainment agency and started to recruit more shit. If you noticed, South Korea is literally a copycat of Japan's entertainment industry. They are literally China. Ok i'm done.
Do your research before you shit post here, or just bring it to /mu since that board is full of retards like you.

>>17030088
kpop is great tho, I wish akb had a sister group in korea.

>>17030111
Janny went to sleep after making sure he stopped you from making a troll 1000th OP.

Does anyone else feel inadequate when they see that there are individuals who have spent hundreds of thousands to shake their oshi's hands? How can I compete?

Watch your fucking mouth. I'll kill you in your sleep bitch. She's a good pure girl who doesn't deserve your mindless shit talking. I won't tolerate it. You're disgusting for insulting Kubo like this.

So Keyaki won the first 1000 threads despite the late start.

Better luck on the next 1000 threads, 48 friends.

>>17030204
Not a Keyaki fan but that art is adorable. Does the artist do Nogis?

>>17030192
Meme wars aside, I'd agree. Long necks and light skin complexion are a couple of my favorite features.

>>17030205
Everybody does Nogis

Looking forward to another 1000 Naachan threads.

Good morning, Spain. Quality post as always.

>>17029712
I often see lines like this or bigger at the cafe. Does anyone know why? Is there special events or do actual idols sometimes appear there?

>>17030222
Admit it /akb/

paruru wearing 7 million dollars worth of jewelry. i wish she does this more. she looks really majestic

>>17030236
She really ruined herself, didn't she?

Nah, your post is way better.

Why thank you.

You say that, but she's still cute af. If she was around AKB wouldn't look nearly as pathetic. They'd have some actual refined beauty around.

I only come here to post lesbians lads.

What the fuck? Why did all the (on topic) discussion and lots of pictures get deleted from the thread? It makes sense that the kpop discussion was deleted, but not the rest. It wasn't breaking any rules. This thread has a ton of deleted posts and more posts continue to get deleted.

>>/jp/thread/S17029670

They only blocked it so Himetan and Sayunyan wouldn't see. Look at Ikuta's face. You know that snitch went to Hime right after.

>>17030291
There is no way this is even the actual 1000th AKB general.

>>17030291
You fucking idiot. You think management are salivating by the thought of adding them to the declining 48 groups? None of the new gens they have been pushing has a remote chance of making it, while the potential of T8 is undeniable. Owada, Mion, Miki, Komi, Megu, etc. are good for nothing, not even combined. T8 has dominated all the competitions between groups they've invited to, from dancing to singing to playing instruments, even those stupid dumb imitations, they've won it all. What are next gen aces like Sakura or Mion going to do, keep stripping forever for cheap gravure magazines? The group is doomed and HOPING that Toyota let's them keep at least 10 of them is the only chance AKB has of surviving. They aren't in a so-called "real" group because Toyota are not dumb, they know they have unearthed a fucking huge goldmine and they won't just hand it over to fucking Aki-p. They did all the hard work selecting an elite group of 47 talents from all over the country amongst thousands and Aki-p just gets them handed over for free? Fuck that. He should step up his own game instead and stop recruiting fucking useless shits like Izurina or Renacchi.

Are you going to bring up handshake sales? Fans don't bother buying those cds for tickets because that's neither the concept of the group nor a fair reward for T8, as they haven't given them even ONE single in spite of their growing popularity, while SKE got another single that flopped laughably and got outsold by the debut single of that new group of scandal whores. Are you going to bring up SSK? No one cares about that other than insecure fans trying to measure their wota-penis through votes. Again, look at how many useless skanks SKE ranked and what was it good for? They're as good as dead. T8 didn't have any ranked member but they still have their own varietiy shows, sold out shows, national and international tours, radio shows, magazine shoots (and not disgusting, vulgar ones like your irrelevant pushed members), members have many individual activities like that good as fuck show with best Yui. They're growing more than any other 48 group right now. And even then some of them will rank anyway, so even that pointless derp le rank argument can go away. Look at Request Hour, no one gives a flying shit about that and based T8 wotas almost beat those obsessive Jurina oshis at the one thing they have left.

So yeah, keep memeing your hurr durr bikinis (even though your AKB/HKT/whatever skanks have been doing it for years and even though T8 didn't even appear on screen wearing them), keep memeing about hurr durr p8dos (even though most girls start at about 15 and you keep posting gravure of Sakura, Owada or the likes who are still underage), keep memeing about no ranks and no singles (even though that will change this year), just keep spouting the same retarded shit you think it's funny or something. The fact is that every T8 girl has more potential than either the aces or the whos on every other fucking group and if Toyota are not fucking stupid they're goingo to debut and have a really successful career on their own. Who the fuck needs that AKB sinking fucking ship anymore? They're fucking goners as well.

>>17030297
If you can't even read a simple fucking blog post, maybe you should think twice about being an idol "fan".
Not only is the idol concept, and the 48 Group in specific, built around the ideas of support, respect and devotion, both from the fans and from the members, but you're also dealing with a phenomenon from a completely different culture which you have no right to even know of, much less partake in.
If you're going to involve yourself in something made by another culture based on its cultural values, at least make sure that you have some fundamental respect for and understanding of the culture in question. It's not going to help anyone if you remain a screeching weeaboo begging for someone to translate everything because you don't have the self-respect or decency to learn it by yourself. It's going to hurt you, since you're not going to understand the members or a lot of the cultural elements in the material, and you're thus going to keep being uncomprehending and wailingly buttmad over idols because you refuse to understand them but still expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter by the people who've actually managed to get their asses in gear and learn Japanese. It hurts the fandom, as it creates a niche for leeching, e-peen-seeking Tumblr wastes of skin and slavering Indos who're too busy wanking to their imagined "couples" to actually mind the translation, much less not put in their own made-up garbage, and the less Japanese you learn, the more you'll slobber up this misinformation and feed the "translators'" egos. It's going to hurt the members themselves because, as we can see right now on Tumblr and Stage48, that kind of centralized fandom in which most people see the material as a commodity they have a right to get for free and without any effort breeds a disruptive, creepy and disrespectful fandom whose heads get pumped full of "Japan is so weird" misinformation and yellow-fever-enabling myths about the idol concept that end up in people like Bicycle. The members don't want their SNS spammed by persistent Indos or get blown up all over Tumblr by a red-faced, shrieking Tumblrina trans-starwolf abomination who's judging them according to Western standards, and that should be obvious to everyone.
If you want to help yourself enjoy idols, if you want to respect the members, if you want to make the fandom better and if you want to protect the cultural products of Japan from being cannibalized by clueless weeaboos, horny SEA teens and frothing Koreaboos, you should consider deleting everything idol-related on your computer the next time you even catch yourself wanting a translation instead of trying to understand it yourself.
You simply can't be in your right mind and claim that you can respect a member, much less have her as your "oshi", if you haven't put in work to understand Japanese and comprehend everything she says or does. The exchange of respect, devotion and support when it comes to idols is mutual, and the best way you can show that as a Western fan is going out of your way to learn Japanese because you're interested in your oshi. Not considering her material a commodity that you get chewed to bits and dropped into your cuckoo-like waiting mouth by some Indo with an e-peen complex, and not considering her a sex object that you fap to and have waifu fantasies over - respect her as a living human being with her own emotions and concerns, understand that you're massively overstretching your boundaries already by acting as if it's your right to partake of material from another culture without understanding everything behind it and put in some genuine hard work in order to understand and respect your oshi, and then you can call yourself a fan.
It might come as a surprise, but you don't have the right to proclaim yourself a "fan" of everything you feel like, especially not when it crosses cultural boundaries and comes onto some rather sensitive topics (since the Tokyo Olympics are coming up, the very future of Japan's right to its own culture and entertainment industry is closely intertwined with the 48 Group, and it's part of the Western fandom's responsibility to make the best impression we possibly can instead of coming off as squealing Japan cultists and creepy child-molesting neckbeards). You should be grateful that you haven't been hit with a lawsuit from Avex or King Records already for pirating their material, and you should realize that people like you are playing straight into the hands of a certain country by making idol fans look like shrill, histrionic cultural parasites (who have none of the historical or cultural knowledge needed to properly defend Japanese rights to Japanese culture).
Just because you can partake doesn't mean you have a right to, and especially not when it's based on cultural values you haven't grown up in and that are starting to become too politically sensitive to just play off. Grow a sense of dignity.

That's not hard to believe. That almost always happens when one post gets several replies here. It's people responding to the same post over and over.

>>17030349
It's the best kind.

>>17030339
Oh, are we talking about memes we are tired of now? I fucking hate how you faggots always talk shit about Ranze after that one episode. That was the biggest mistake of all time. Ranze's pure nature would make Jesus blush.

That post deserved it. It got better with each passing minute.

>>17030356
>After that one episode
She's said it in 3 episodes.
When I first mentioned it everyone told me how wrong I was and that she didn't mean it that way. It feels satisfying to know that I was right all along and she keeps mentioning how she's an M.
