Club48 :: Where we spam 48 ways to glory!

[Shoujo Q]

SKE48's PVs are out.





The PVs are nice, but the songs, kinda suck? I think nothing will be as awesome as Bansai Venus for me.

[freezingkiss]

I love Oki Doki! And I LOVED Pareo wa Emerald! I am a huge SKE fan though. I love a lot of their stage songs too 'Ame no Pianist' is amazing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Cyrene]

I'm sorry, but 1!2!3!4! Yoroshiku was their best song ever.



I mean...we got Two Roses from it!

[kitaoji]

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' /> you guys have it wrong! It's Aozora Kataomoi all the way! (Although 1!2!3!4! got me interested in them in first place.)



In all honesty, though (other than I handed my soul over to SKE48 this summer) I was disappointed by the songs... all of them. Everything up to Banzai Venus had the perfect balance of PV/performances/outfits/music but it took a long time to get accustomed to Pareo.



For me the best of the bunch was Akagumi's song, but that PV is as weird as Kaze wa Fuiteiru. Shirogumi (and their overly hypedshooting game I mean bazookas) was better but that PV was creepy and trying to break too many walls.



Okie Dokie sounds like it just goes on and on and on musically, but I'm sure I'll change my mind at the end of the week. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



That said, logistics of filming in a shopping district >>>> green screen.

Calendar Ranking < This is for the poster calendars. I'm disappointed to see Sayaka so far down but her picture could have been a LOT better, why did they give her a duckface calendar?! I still ordered it though because I heart her. I also have Mariko's one on the way. Woop woop!



Also the outfits. Team 4's are awesome, but I really dislike Team B's, they are really unflattering, and why does Mayuyu have such a giant hat?

[momoirosaya]

1234 is the best overall single. I love love love 1234 and Two Roses and Seishun wa Hazukashii, etc, BEST SINGLE EVER.

After that (song wise) is Oki Doki.

Then Gomen ne Summer & Aozora.

Then Pareo.

Then Banzai.

Then Tsuyokimono yo.

Is it bad that when I saw the picture of Yuko breastfeeding the baby that the first thought in my mind was "MOVE THE BABY". <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

[/quote]



That is funny because my first thought was "How the hell does this B cup have breasts that go down to her STOMACH!" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' />

[/quote]

I heard she's a D. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

(Which is C in US sizes).





Seeing that Yuko breastfeeding pic made me creeped out (because of this whole concept).

[Shoujo Q]

We have a new soloist people! And I only care because she sings enka and I love enka!



Iwasa Misaki from Team A will debut with an enka single on Feb. 1st. Here is her singing Enka. (I hope she's improved since then. She was good, but she could be better.)



News came from Arama.

[Tsujiji]

Awwww, good for Misaki~ I love it when non senbatsu girls strike something big for themselves. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> I feel like her voice is great for Enka so I think with the additional training she'll knock it outta the park.

[Cyrene]

Yes, I love her! I hope it sells well :).

[Tsujiji]

Soooo, that big AKB announcement tonight was that most of of AKB48 is on Google+ now!



Go add yer favorites~!

http://www.google.com/intl/ja/+/project48/



Guess there really is no better reason to start using that Google+ account you have been sitting on for a couple of months now.

[freezingkiss]

Aha done. I added Akimoto too. lol

[neshcom]

I saw that! Tokyograph is saying that they're actually getting in hangouts with people and are going to post multi-lingually.

[Tsujiji]

Ohh multilingual~! I approve! Maybe I'll be able to score a hang out with Miichan~ That would make me the happiest nerd.





Something random and cute! Little wota Rino is an Eripon fan~~ <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> How aaaaadoooorable~~~~

[Tsujiji]

As much as I am totally rooting for Suuchan, Moeno, Lemon, or Lovetan~ I hope they give it to a bunch of the lesser known girls like Nishi. I am really happy that a bunch of under dogs passed the first round of auditions. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> They must be so happy to have made it past some of the front girls. Can't wait to see who's picked~! I wonder when the next round is?

[Anderei]

The storyline for AKB48’s upcoming anime, “AKB0048“, has been revealed through its official website.



-



In the beginning of the 21st Century, a world war breaks out over interplanetary travel technology. After significant damage to the ecosystem, mankind forces themselves out of Earth, which begins the Star Calendar 00.



Shortly after, entertainment and music become heavily regulated because of it’s power to corrupt people’s hearts. One by one, idols disappear, and eventually go extinct. However, there was one idol group by the name of AKB0048 who had reincarnated during that time. They rise up as “illegal idols” by inheriting the light and spirit of the legendary AKB48.



Because they have an overwhelming influence, the girls are attacked and are labeled as “terrorists”. They bear arms and fight back in order to protect their stage, their fans, and the citizens.



In the Star Calendar 0048, a new story revolving around the 77th generation research students is about to begin.”











Wow.

[freezingkiss]

^ Would have liked if they had set it just a taaad later in the future, instead of you know, right freakin now. -__- Still sounds awesome though.

[Haru]

I never would've expected such an interesting plot line out of an anime based on an idol group. My hats off to Akimoto.

Because they have an overwhelming influence, the girls are attacked and are labeled as “terrorists”. They bear arms and fight back in order to protect their stage, their fans, and the citizens.

Praying for uncensored version of Beginner style.

[momoirosaya]

I'm happy with the choices. I know Mayuyu and Shawako and Nakayan and Suuchan are good at voice acting.

Amina sounds like an anime character all the time. Yay for my SKE oshi Kuumin<3

From Arama. (I'm going to have to update the first post some day....)



Indonesian version of Heavy Rotation courtesy of JKT48. I never noticed but the song just keeps going on and on and on.

[kitaoji]

Natalie has shots and covers of SKE48's new single, Kataomoi Finally.



It's being released on 1/25, which puts it in direct competition to MM's new single.



And... it's SKE's answer to social problems and everything up the wazoo that AKB48 hasn't done.







...whatever the case, I hope the girls take the themes seriously in their private lives.

[Shoujo Q]

There goes Morning Musume's shot at a #1. This seems like old school AKB at least from the theme of the single anyway.

[freezingkiss]

Preordered. I wasn't initially going to as I am so broke right now, but this deserves my support and....oh the Jurina! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />
