Hey now! SKE doesn't end with a B!

[koolmon]

Neither does SDN. 8D

Also,

The popular idol group AKB48 is getting their first documentary film in theaters. Titled "DOCUMENTARY of AKB48 to be continued," the movie covers the group's activities throughout this year, using footage from over 1,000 videotapes.



The documentary includes the production process behind each of their singles, their concerts at Yokohama Arena and Yoyogi National Gymnasium, their senbatsu events, last year's appearance at Kohaku Uta Gassen, and their visit to Anime Expo. Viewers will get a glimpse of the idols' joys and troubles, their growth over the year, and their dreams for the future.



"DOCUMENTARY of AKB48" will open on January 22, 2011, in select Toho Cinemas across the country. A website has launched for the movie, containing more information about the contents and the participating movie theaters.

The website is supposed to be here, but I'm guessing the wotas are clogging up all the tubes. WERE WAS MOMU'S DOCUMENTARY? MERP :I

I tried to audition for NMB48 and SKE48 and I didn't get in......<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[al kusanagi]

So now it looks like they'll probably be losing the group's only attractive member... But, hey, if the dude created Sakura Wars, he can bang whoever he wants!

[freezingkiss]

^ Ew, ew, ew. Goddamit.

[Ap2000]

I guess you can say she's his muse.



But she's only mediocre anyway, so he can have her if he wants to.

They were playing playstation! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Actually, they were watching a movie. It's funny how they brush this off like it's normal to have a 50 year old guy sleep over your house.

[Ap2000]

How did the reporters know about this ?

Have they stationed paparazzis in front of every single idol's house or what !?



Maybe it was a freak who stalks them and sent his pictures to the newspaper.

[Milly]

They probably got tipped off and then did a stake out in front of her appartment.



I wonder where this is going to go. I quite like Sayaka and would rather not see her graduate, but it would be weird if there weren't any consequences. As leader of team K she should have been more cautious.

[Melon]

If Sayaka's out, then there goes half my interest in the group. :| I don't find the situation gross, after all RDJ, Pitt, Depp, Weaving, Banderas are around that same age and I would still unf them. Ugh, caring about idols' sex lives feels passe and not scandalous anymore.

[strawberryjam]

I don't think anything's going to happen to her. In the past, when there WAS something, the girls got kicked out immediately. And she and the guy in the question posted about it on their blogs already stating it's simply pupil-teacher relationship. Sayaka's agency also already made a statement backing her up.



Hana translates the guy's post on his blog which explains more about what he was doing at her house. Hana's post is towards the bottom of the page (Sorry, not sure how to link HER post only).

[Haru]

what ever happened about the one that was supposed to have the thing with yasushi? did they just shove that under the rug?

[strawberryjam]

AKB48's management sued them. This article is from the same magazine....

Hana is a girl, Strawberry was referring to that Hana translated the blog post that was on the guy's blog.

In other news, AKB had a karaoke contest concert. Not sure if there will be a DVD release..





A lot of H!P songs we're covered as well, including Love Machine, OO Ganbaranakutemo Enende!!, and Yuki / Ai Anata > Suki.



But, no3b covered One Night Carnival by Kishidan along with the funny wigs. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[neshcom]

AKB48 member Sayaka Akimoto (22) declared on Friday's "AKB48 no All Night Nippon" radio show that she is resigning as captain of Team K. The move is the result of the recent negative publicity surrounding allegations that she is in a relationship with multimedia creator Ouji Hiroi (56), after it was discovered that Hiroi spent the night at her apartment.



Akimoto tearfully apologized for the trouble that the rumors have caused. She explained that she and Hiroi had watched a movie at her apartment, but he fell asleep and she chose not to wake him up.



Fans sent in many supportive messages, saying things such as "There's no need to quit as captain" and "Isn't it irresponsible of you to resign? Work hard without running away!" However, Akimoto insisted that she is not running away, and that she intends to start over and work hard towards becoming captain once again.



Akimoto's replacement has not yet been decided.

[freezingkiss]

^ Wait, she's just resigning as captain right? She's still staying in AKB48?



Also, GROSS Sayaka, far out, look at yourself, then go date ANYBODY YOU EFFIN WANT.

[momoirosaya]

They also covered EXILE

Acchan & TomoTomo with facial hair

Go Hiromi and AKB48

Some of them... should stick to group singing but they are two of my favorite Go Hiromi songs so I'm biased. xD

Watching videos where idols appear with other people always makes me remember how tiny most of them actually are.

[neshcom]

Beginner is the first single to break the official million sale milestone since "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" in 2007. I think it speaks volumes about the change in the j-pop scene in these past three years.



2007 was so amazing <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[Cyrene]

Beginner is seriously one of the best AKB songs ever and is one of my favorite Jpop song of this year. I actually bought it, I liked it that much.

[Shoujo Q]

I was wondering when they would finally do it, and they did it.



Sailor fuku wo nugasanaide AKB48 style



I find it much better then this version, which looks like a Rehash of H!P's Music Fair episode done in a bar, with far less, girls. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

[momoirosaya]

When they said "I want to have sex before my friends do" all the people started going "ararararara!" and started laughing. lol
