Nope. The leader of the 48 group after Takamina's departure will either be Yuihan or Sayanee. No one's coming close.

As for 48 group ace, everyone knows Mayuyu's not going to be it, because she's missing something that'd make her become the ace (much like how Paruru's missing a very important piece to become an ace too). With Yuko graduating probably in the next 2 or so years, the one who'll stand on top will probably be either Jurina or Sasshi. Yukirin will still probably stay in 3rd or 4th because she's too distanced from her fans in regard to how her heart works (quite a few people have already started losing interest in her because she does things from a business perspective, instead of actually honestly doing and saying things).

If Mayuyu and/or Paruru find their missing pieces, they'll probably shoot straight to the top, but I don't see that happening to either of them for a while.

Milky on the other hand probably will never be #1 unless Sayanee graduates.

Milky doesn't have enough female fans.

Sayanee has a high percentage of female fans who are very loyal, she has a lot of skills required to be at the top (singing, dancing, playing instruments, MCing, making gags that people will actually laugh at, improvising, leadership skills), has the body, has the brains, has the mystique and is trusted by quite a lot of people. Milky may have a higher rank in looks, the idol aura and the personality, but she's severely outgunned.

People have been saying that Sayanee's basically what you get if you combine Takamina and Acchan.

Milky will probably overtake Mayuyu, Yukirin and Rena as the years go by, but she likely won't beat Sayanee. She can stand toe-to-toe against Jurina if you give her time though.

Yeah I haven't seen as much enthusiasm from Rena as of late, but if she's just staying for team spirit and her love for lolis, then the latter will still make it so she stays longer.

In Yukirin's case, she's really high up there, but she's been alienating what's left of her female fans for a while now. The people of Kagoshima will still pool in tons of votes for her because she's their premiere idol, but how long is that really going to last? She's great at MCing, but that's a skill that can be obtained. Both of them are handshake goddesses, both of them are immensely popular with male fans, both of them have the power to influence higher-ups to give them advantages, they both have great looks and bodies, and they both have strong personalities. Milky though, is building her female fanbase (I've seen a few of her crazy fangirls), and has a much more interesting personality when she's relaxed, and seems much more driven to reach the top than Yukirin, who admittedly gave up.

Sayanee is working on it. Her whole senbatsu speech was a declaration of that intention. Sadly it's hard to get attention in media when you're on the lower half of senbatsu, as they're only settled at the back and are given far less chances to talk. And even if they are given the chance to talk, there's a higher chance of their talks being cut in editing.

We'll have to wait until she reaches top 8, which is likely next year due to Kojiharu, Takamina and Sae most likely ranking lower (especially Sae). She can take down Paruru and Yui if she gets more support from fans in other prefectures, and will have a good shot against Kojiharu. When Sayanee (and Milky) reach top 8, they'll be given a whole heap more opportunities within the AKB group.

How do you pick a favorite girl?

I've been following AKB stuff for a while and I just can't pick the one girl that stands out when there is so many of them. For a while I'd like one girl the best but then I'd realize that there's some other better girl, and then after her someone even better, so how exactly do you get an oshi? It seems impossible for me.

>> No.11525358

>>11525332
When I said that, I was actually thinking of her solo career. I agree with her handshakes (I've heard Yukirin's not as good when she's tired) and female fans, although Yukirin certainly does have some.
I was really impressed with her second solo live, it's probably my favourite AKB concert overall after the 1st Tokyo Dome. She has another one coming up, and I think if this single does decently it's not crazy to think they might happen semi-regularly. I don't think Milky is really ready (if ever) for that sort of thing.

I'll be seriously annoyed if Sae participates after that whole focusing on SNH speech she made.

For me it was like this:

I noticed her quickly when I saw her the first time, but didn't care much about her. Once she got her own special little corner in an AKB single, I started getting interested in her, especially with the way her voice sounded and her dialect. As time passed by, I kept coming back and watching stuff with her or listening to her on radio shows. By the time I realized it, I had already been buying magazines and official photos with her on it, and bought her photobook, and started commenting on her blog and following her on Google+.

It's gradual and you won't notice it at first, but give it time and you'll find out. One big hint is if you keep coming back to her as time passes by.

Milky's already talked about seriously taking some vocal training (she had a few sessions in her free time, and she said that the sound guys already could hear her improvement as she sang her parts for Bokura no Eureka), and is actually a very versatile dancer (she's learned Jazz, locking and other styles in her early years), and is actually a very good MC when she isn't nervous on-stage. She's already top idol material, so I see her getting a single once she polishes up her singing much like Mayuyu did. Of course Sayanee will likely come first.

Regarding Sae, yeah it would piss me off too if she got in senbatsu again next year, but she has a lot of stubborn fans (I guess it's a birds of a feather type of thing, as Sae herself is pretty stubborn).

The SKE fans have a very "us vs them" mentality, as you will notice when you see how SKE fans in Japan act (which was detailed in the SKE-concurrency arc of AKB49). Kitarie wasn't really hated or anything when she first got sent to Sakae, but SKE fans really didn't like the thought of someone from AKB being sent to SKE (the hypocrites won't comment about Jurina being in AKB since the start of her career). The antis started showing up when she agreed to do Terrace House at the request of Akimoto. She's just a really unfortunate girl.

The SKE fans eventually accepted Kitarie after a long time, but by then Akimoto had already seen enough. Kitarie is one of Akimoto's most trusted girls, so I can understand why he did what he did, but the whole Terrace House thing was a bad idea, especially after Kasai did retarded things on the TV reality show she was assigned to.

Yeah, I never really liked her after picking up on her obnoxious-sounding talks when she's either irritated or not interested. The episode of her in Hakata Hyakkaten is proof enough.

It was a reality show where she needs to live for a month with only 10,000 yen. She left the show only after a few days and never contacted the show's management. After that, she got compared to Sayumi, who previously succeeded on it, and it went downhill from there. Photobook mishap, Scandal with the AKS chairman or some shit and failure as a soloist.

>> No.11525474

I don't agree with that theory. Yui had trouble with her extreme schedules, but she still managed to keep up with it fine. She even promised to bring Sayanee and the rest of NMB to Kouhaku, and even tried to take on half of the burdens Sayanee had as the leader of NMB. The staff were worried about her health, but the staff and Akimoto failed to notice that Yui was actually rapidly improving and becoming much more efficient with her time-management, and that she seriously loved being in NMB.

Perhaps maybe this WAS the reason they dissolved the concurrencies: Yui was getting far too attached to NMB even though she's a prime candidate for captaincy in AKB. Shinoda after all had her eyes on Yui since the start and likely accepted being captain even though she didn't like it just to give Yui time.

Kitahara and Ishida were just collateral damage maybe, but Ishida basically couldn't keep up with the concurrency and Kitahara was being hated on by the whole SKE fanbase.

Helloo(`ω´ )o♡

I slept hard lol\(^o^)/笑

So many things happened yesterday.( ゚д゚)...
First off, about Jo-chan's return.

In my opinion, she probably thought that she doesn't want to regret anything this time around. This made me think that I should properly support her.

At that time, it looked like Jo was struggling and it looked painful for her.

But to graduate and then return once again, I feel that it takes a lot of determination to do that.

There's also the fans that have been waiting for Jo to come back. I too will watch over her and do my best to support her, so I ask of you all to try to support her as well.

This is just my own personal feelings regarding the matter. Other members having mixed feelings on the matter is natural.
I can understand why they'd feel that way, and I'm sure and trust that the staff also understands those feelings.

Thanks for mentioning that, I'll put in a note about it.
AKB48 release singles on a regular schedule each year, and most music videos can be found on AKB's official youtube channel (with english subtitles). Sister groups also release singles, for a complete list for each group check out wiki48.

The NMB, SKE, HKT and AKB official channels actually post the full PVs of singles, making videos and such after they've been released. Plus the videos are in pretty high quality. Good for people who can't be arsed.

Also, >>11525560
Best thing is to watch Shukan AKB, AKBINGO, Nemousu TV, and Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku to learn more about the girls and have a laugh while you're at it. Their music is played during those shows, so when you hear something you like, you'll be able to find out what it is real quick. The rest will come later.

They're pretty easy to understand. There's gestures and slapstick comedy, and often visual cues and audience reactions to help even if you don't understand fully what's happening.

They speak clearly and with standard Japanese, so it shouldn't be difficult for someone around college Japanese year 2 level. It's actually anime that takes a year 3-4 student level to understand, especially with the way they go about adding fancy terms and such.

Of course, studying on your own means that these won't apply to you.

It's only really Sayanee and Milky who get sent out to do a lot of gravure most of time though. Akari and Keicchi only just started getting attention too. I guess it's just Yoshimoto being retards as usual. There's a clear difference between gravure idols and real idols. If they can't figure out the difference between the two, then NMB will never rival or surpass AKB in the future.

But anyways, the rest of the 48 group really do envy NMB's sexy image. Yuko herself admitted it too apparently.

They do have different images.
SKE has the athletic and intense dance image, which has stuck to them since their beginning.
HKT has the little sister image, which fits well except when you look at Sasshi, Chori and Tani.
AKB has the perfect idol and otaku-friendly image.

Still, with NMB being Yoshimoto's first foray into the pure idol scene, they've been messing up a lot and have made a lot of stupid decisions. Not only that, they obviously care more about their comedians, always plugging them onto NMB shows even when the focus of these shows should be the NMB girls themselves. They don't give them enough chances compared to AKS, and AKS is a fairly new company that started with AKB, but do a lot of things for their idols so that they can have careers and opportunities at every turn (as long as the idol herself works hard for it).

I came to 4chan originally for /v/, but I long since have lost interest in video games. There was a multiple year period where I didn't play any games at all. I bought a 3DS earlier this year, and have played it a little bit on the bus to work.

Only visual novels I've played are F/SN, Higurashi, and Umineko.

I switched to primarily watching anime instead of playing video games as my hobby in 2007, and stayed in /a/ for years.

Some one linked an episode of AKBINGO on /a/, and I watched every episode that was subtitled at the time pretty much immediately. Since I discovered AKB it has ruined slice of life anime for me. I used to be all about the moeshit anime, but now I pretty much just watch shonenshit and scifi shit. I honestly can't remember the last slice of life anime that I enjoyed. Whenever I watch some moeshit I just think of how inferior it is to watching some AKB Variety.

I watch anime, play VNs and play 2hu. I love the materials 2hu comes up with and I've always loved the girls being brought to life by fandom. My favorite 2hu game is Subterranean Animism because of Okuu and the rest of the gang, it was the 9th 2hu game I managed to 1cc because I personally found it difficult. It also had the most interesting story in my opinion. I've been watching anime since I was 8 and still do. I loved 2007 and 2011 a lot because tons of shit happened then and the anime in those years are stuff I love. I think VNs and general vidya come naturally since I do both. I love Pokemon and look forward to X and Y for example.

I found idols during 2008 I think? When I was taken by the jdrama wave and I saw this retarded but entertaining show called Mendol Ikemen Idol and I learned of AKB then. It just gradually became something I followed after that, along with other idol stuff like Im@s and LL. I'm MD with an oshimen and she is Yokoyama Yui.

AKB for me is like the jack of all trades general idol group as well as their powerhouse.
SKE is the union of weirdos and otaku who happened to dance really well and have decent looks.
NMB is the group of entertainment, Osaka roots and Yoshimoto made them create this variety type idols image who can also pull the sexy. They're also the strongest performance-wise and great MC-ing because of their variety sense.
HKT is the little sister group, where the girls are young and makes you want to support them as they grow. Currently growing their own variety sense (which in my opinion is the strongest out of the 48 groups) with a little thanks to Sashihara.

0048 Season 2 was Kawamori to the tee. He does that shit everytime. He makes up a million sideplots/completely unrelated episodes (like the fucking Avatar episode) and then ends the series suddenly with a halfassed ending and a million unsolved subplots.

I think with 0048's case it worked fairly well. I thought the avatar episode was fucking hilarious, and all of the sideplots not being resolved didn't bother me, though I do wonder what the fuck Chieri's dad was doing. But, watch Aquarion EVOL and try not to rage at the "resolution".

I had only watched one anime (Haruhi Suzumiya) before getting into idols over two years ago. I was into vocaloids for about a year before that. I started learning Japanese because if I am ever lucky enough to see Wasamin at a handshake event, I'd be able to say some things to her (sad, I know). This is a good enough reason to keep me motivated. I don't have much to show for 2 years of learning. I'm much better at reading than listening right now.

OK so the first two runes, you'll see it a lot, it's Yama and Da or it could be Ta sometimes. The rest is just hiragana. Mi Zu Ho. Yamada Mizuho. I've only been learning Hiragana and Katakana but the first two are so damn popular I memorized them before realizing it.

Some people were speculating that the whole dating thing was the actual cause behind her being "graduated", and that it was more a suspension disguised as a graduation.

The fact that Jo said she was coming back and did so does invite suspicion.

I think it's half of each, the overwork from being ace of team M and the dating thing that led to her being graduated. Still, instead of making it an actual graduation, they could've made it something else.

Flawless. She has a shit-ton of potential, and works VERY hard, but she has to work on her general appeal.
When she's on variety shows like Anta, Dare? or AKBingo she's shy and reluctant, kinda like Tano Yuka when she's forced to dress like a little girl and say "onii-chan daisuki!". I actually like that about her, she's really honest and not your usual forced idol.

In my humble opinion, she's another gem forgotten my management (Takeuchi Miyu everyone?), plus not having any MC skills or an idol-like aura doesn't help her with the little push, if any, she has. She got really frustrated about not ranking on the last elections, watching her friends Ricchan and Yui already that high must be really hard for her. But oh well, I'm confident she'll shine sooner or later!

I read through Shimarena's blog post, and it didn't sound like she liked the idea of having Jo back, but was going to put up with it. She placed much more emphasis on the team M tour and left the talk about Jo for last. She also prioritized the feelings of the other people instead of her own, and there was no real hint of her being happy that Jo's back. And that's team M's captain. Keira's is your standard "no comment, but have some filler" comment. Fuuchan posted on Google+ about it, and it seemed like she accepts Jo's return despite everything.

Team N girls have posted mostly positive comments, and there hasn't been much blog posts on Ameblo from Team M.

Oh no, she wasn't forgotten at all. Juri was in Majisuka 3, she's been in AKBINGO a lot this year, and is considered as one of the next gen girls on the rise. She has a good idol aura, but doesn't show it unless she's alone or cornered, which is why you rarely see it.

Yui ranking high is natural, as everybody acknowledges her as a leader, and everyone's seen her hard work. Ricchan's had a super-push on the same line as Paruru's last year, which helped a lot but she already had the interesting personality, looks, good MCing skill and fearlessness, so I thought her time would come sooner or later.

In Juri's case, she still needs to work on her speaking skills, because it doesn't matter on TV if you're the most interesting girl in the block but can't convey that through your words or speech. If Juri doesn't clam up and says stuff freely like she does on her Google+ posts, she'd get a lot more attention and would have probably ranked this year. She still has next year though.

Team BII's Shu wrote exactly what she had on her mind regarding Jo's return, and she was pretty honest about the fact that she didn't like it at first. Then she went on about how it was Jo that helped her up when she was in trouble, and that she thinks that this is a cue for her to work even harder so as to not lose to Jo. She also welcomes her back.

Basically sounds like returning the favor, but on a more positive note.

Mao was happy along with the crowd until it settled, and realized that it's going to be pretty complicated, which is why she didn't meet up with Jo after the event was over. She wants to meet up and talk with her soon though.

Arisa on the other hand didn't even mention Jo in her post.

So who else thinks Kojiharu's going to graduate next year? It seems very odd that she'd be the center for the 33rd single, and they purposely chose choreography that wasn't too complex because Kojiharu has trouble remembering dances.

She's 25 years old and she's already polished her skill in comedy, has an absurdly sexy body and is very popular among both men and women.

She'll probably graduate alongside Yuko, who already stated that she's only still in AKB because she's waiting for the next generation to have someone worthy of becoming the next AKB center (she intended for Mayuyu to become the next center, but Mayuyu failed). With Jurina, Yukirin and Mayuyu in there, and Paruru, Yui, Sayanee and Milky not too far behind, I can see it happening.

She says that, but she can't stay laughing after Jurina broke into the top 7, bringing Rena along with her. Jurina is just barely a level under Yuko, and has all the time in the world to improve, even though she's already at a really high level.

Mayuyu may have failed due to her flaws, and Yukirin already gave up on wanting to become center, but Jurina can quickly take over if the management really wants her to (she's already been center or co-center in a lot of singles).

Then when Sayaka (and Milky) catch up, it'll be a war between SKE and NMB, as Sayaka is pretty damn strong herself, has all the qualities necessary to be center, and even has talents that Yuko herself doesn't have.

Mayuyu lacks in both dancing and being more open about herself. Every time she's on camera, it's always the professional cute generic idol Mayuyu that shows up, but she's actually a funny and interesting person if she takes that off (like during Marina's or Yui's seitansai). If she actually worked on that, she'd have overtaken Yuko a long time ago.

They did, and guess what, Mariko was still stuck in 5th place, and Tomochin got sent out of the single digits. All the votes they got would have benefited other girls instead.

For Tomochin, she wanted one last shot at getting a good rank before leaving, but why would fans vote for someone that's already leaving in the first place? She should have expected that.

For Mariko though, it took her until her ranking was announced to realize that the next generation girls have already started rising far up the ladder, thus making her finalize her thoughts about graduating.

If Yuko, Kojiharu and Sae don't apply, they'll probably keep Sasshi in 3rd or 4th place, while Jurina and Mayuyu fight for #1 and #2, Kashiwagi stays at #3 or #4, and Rena goes to #5.

I can see Sayaka and Milky either making #6 and #7 or #8 and #9 with Yui either ahead or behind them. Then after those girls comes Paruru, and probably Takamina and Suda after that.

The rest of the senbatsu will be hard to predict though, as I don't really know if Shibata's staying, or if Umeda and Kitarie make a comeback, then there's Takajo and Kizaki too. And maybe Matsumura.

Sasshi received 150,000 votes this years election, Mayu only 100,000, and Jurina just 77,000. You honestly think Sasshi will be relegated to 3rd or even 4th, while Jurina and Mayu somehow battle it out for first? While I'm sure Sasshi will receive less votes next year, I doubt she will receive 50,000 votes less. And there is really no indication that Mayu's popularity is significantly on the rise (in fact I would say it has already peaked). I do see Jurina doing better next year, but not 1st place better.

If you think votes from Yuuko and co will flow into Mayu and Jurina, then I think that is just wishful thinking. Most of those votes will go all over the place, as they generally just go to the fan's 2nd oshi and what not. And if some fans do vote for Mayu or Jurina, they aren't likely going to engage in as much power voting as they did for their actual oshi.

Around 50k of those votes were HKT/Fukuoka fans. Now that HKT fans know more about their own girls, I doubt we'll be seeing Sasshi in first place again, unless Sasshi does something.
She just doesn't have enough staying power as center, and seems more like someone who'll keep moving in between the top 5 spots at every election. I want to see Milky as center, but Sayanee is obviously much better than her at many things, and both girls still need to get their names out there more in order to have a shot at even getting into the kami 7.

Jurina on the other hand has been featured as center for quite a few singles, and is very popular with children, teenagers and older people. Rena, well, she doesn't look like she'd fit being center, and neither do Yukirin, Paruru and Yui.

Yuko's fans would vote for Mayuyu because of the ties Yuko has with her. The rest will spread all over, but the SKE fans are crazy enough to actually just power vote on Jurina if they felt the need to.

Handshake events might not be marketing strategy, but the show most likely is. Around the time her pictures with that executive leaked someone from the inside revealed stories of her leaving at the middle of a shooting or something to go shopping with that old man lover of hers.

Tell them that the girls will lose popularity because male fans prefer girls who aren't taken (girls with boyfriends are less appealing), the idols themselves need to focus on their job as that's the industry they decided to work in (boyfriends would cause distractions), and female fans that like cute idol girls will rage at the thought of their girls getting touched in inappropriate places by their boyfriends if there weren't any restrictions about them in the first place. The likelihood of an idol getting pregnant and having to leave the workforce would also be detrimental to both the idol and her fans, as well as the staff that support her.

Girls that get into relationshits almost immediately get found out by paparazzi though, so unless they're really good at hiding their tracks, they'll get found out eventually. Getting found out means that your face is plastered all over media causing trouble for you and your supporting staff, and fans will be all "you've been doing this behind our backs with a smile on your face the whole time? You betrayed our trust!" etc. and demand to have you either punished or fired.

The difference between idols and actual singers is that the former are presented in a particular way to cater to fans (like the whole purity image) while singers don't actually need to put up an image, and are thus allowed to freely get into a relationship.

Akimoto can say all he wants about idols and relationships, but he can't really change the image of the Japanese pop idol out of the Japanese public's minds (as they've all had the same image for 50 years now). It's ingrained into them.

Didn't Oya say in one of those variety shows that there's actually IS a love ban? Aki-P can say whatever he wants but that doesn't mean we have to believe him. Those fired members proved otherwise. It's basically if you're popular nobody cares, but if you're those low level members, they would rather fire you then spend time and money on PR to fix your image.

She's ugly, infects other girls with her aids through kissing them (which she does constantly), is actually known for being a spiteful bitch off-stage, is a liar and isn't worth the trouble. Giving her the boot would fix a lot of AKB's troubles, including the bad image she gave it for not only dating that EXILE Generations member, but also exchanging love letters with a Golden Bomber member, and giving bad publicity about Japanese idols all over the world due to her shaving her head.

And she didn't even feel any remorse either (you can tell by her attitude on TV and by what was shown by other members on their blogs or Google+).

Why are you even a fan of this bitch?

Someone found letters addressed to her, whose sender matched the address of one of the Golden Bomber members. Letters she sent herself were discovered afterwards, and most of them got photographed and posted online. The penmanship and signature all match Minegishi.

The letter exchanged started a few days or so after Minegishi had shaved her head.

The letters started off on a friendly note, with condolences and such, but the later exchanges left no doubt to all those that read it (on 2ch) that there was something going on between them.

Of course, this whole thing was suppressed by her production, even though it was supposed to be big news, which shows the production's clout. This proved that if it weren't for Minegishi actually deciding to make a spectacle out of the dating part, the whole thing would have been suppressed too.

I care very little for Miichan, but I don't buy this bullshit either. I've seen that photo before, actually it has been floating on 2ch for months so I don't know why it became a net sensation only now.
It's so small and grainy you can't even recognize the kanji, let alone the calligraphy. In fact, much of the text comes from a "transcript" that gets reposted along with the photo because you can't tell shit all from it.

>But some shapeless blob resembling her signature is on it
So is on all the counterfeit goods that are sold on Yahoo Auction, which turn out to be 99% fake. There are people whose job is faking idol handwriting just to sell blatant counterfeits, yes.

She does because Minegishi is from the same generation and listens to her problems. Tomochin had her issues and was separated from team A, Mariko was busy as hell, Kojiharu doesn't take those things seriously, Acchan was dealing with her whole AKB Ace thing and the rest already graduated, so nobody had the time to listen to Takamina's problems, and Takamina herself thought she shouldn't bother them either. So that leaves Minegishi.

There's also the fact that Takamina is on friendly terms with a lot of people.

Anyway, that video showing how badly Minegishi treated Kikuchi was a good enough hint for anyone with a brain to realize that Minegishi was, and is still a bitch. Only her fans that are tunnel-visioned and delusional can't see all these and pretend she has no faults.

Around the 3:54 mark. Kikuchi asks for a seat to sit on so that she can eat her lunch. She spots one with Minegishi's bag on top of it and asks if she could use it. Minegishi shoos her off saying that "someone's already taken that seat" with a negative expression on her face the whole time. It was a free seat at the time, and Kikuchi only needed to use it for a few minutes, then return it to Minegishi, but she didn't even allow that to happen. Kikuchi gives up and squats on the floor as she tries to eat her food.

The whole video is about how unlucky Kikuchi was that day. She's known to be very weak at janken and lost all her practice matches with other members, hasn't had a wink of sleep, loses her phone (which she uses a lot to update her blog and check for important mails) and gets interviewed while she's in the middle of looking for it, gets bullied by a senior, loses her janken match in the first round and has to listen to the one who beat her being happy. Then she loses her phone again.

>>11534936
Kikuchi had all these other things happening alongside the lack of sleep, so she wouldn't have thought about it at the time. Lending an unused chair to someone that really needs it is something anyone with a good nature would do in that situation.
