[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

Well, looks like the management plan next year is to increase the visibility of younger gen. Great

 

anroke season 3

 

They really have no choice.

Gens from 1 to 15 amount half the girls in the group (not counting eitos), so either they start or...

Curious to see Okada The Second!

 

6-3-0-1 by teams doesn't look super balanced... I wonder when was the last time we had shuffle

 

Dec. 8, 2017. At the 12th Anniversary.

Shuffle is not the fix you are looking for. This time, atleast.

 

I'm waiting for Maeda the Third...or she is the fourth?

Team A need more aces they are the one with the least number.

 

Is it just me or is Oguri Yui's aura just so much brighter than all the other female idols there? She really is the real deal these days imo

Are you kidding? Team A is the best team at the moment, go watch some A6 revival shows, they are stacked with talent and visuals.

 

Of course I know that is a sarcastic post about sending 6 members of Team A as regulars for the show.
Wait, isn't it Team B who are supposed to be the variety team this time around.

Btw pragueboi, Stone-chan is in B now.

Also, number-wise Team A is the one with least member at the shuffle IIRC 22. Plus most of eito graduates this year is Team A kennin. (2 graduate + 1 graduating from A, 1 graduate from K).

So, gen 17 audition incoming this year?

 

they are reluctant to give Kirara+Rei kennins in Team A for they would made all those pushes pale into insignificance

ah I see. Missaa's under I assume.

 

Send Mashiro then.
Rei-Kirara-Rissen may be too good.

Back to topic, what kind of discussion they will have. Hmmm, is this more towards serious show? That emergency meeting turned out to be chaotic in terms of topic though.

 

Just revive some event like sport festival or mechaike quiz..those girls need a break, out of this frustrated...let them have time for a fun

 

Of course Team A has six, most of the 4s are eitos!

Dusky!

 

was new Oricon's ranking system already discussed?
starting 12/19 Oricon will count not only CD sales but also downloads from iTunes Store / Oricon Music Store / mu-mo / music.jp / mora / LINE MUSIC / Recochoku and streaming from Apple Music / AWA / KKBOX / d Music Monthly Course / LINE MUSIC / Recochoku Best

total single points = (1 sold CD = 1 point) + (2.5 separately downloaded songs = 1 point) + (whole CD downloaded = 1 point) + (300 playbacks = 1 point)

total album points = (1 sold CD = 1 point) + (whole album downloaded = 1 point) + (1,440 playbacks = 1 point)

Aw too bad, i liked every episode mechaike with akb...even though still have a competition but they still having fun
If akb can created something like this i'm sure it can catch general public attention

 

So, can we expect AKB release more on digital streaming platform?
As long as the HS ticket is in physical CD, it will still sell millions tho. But if voting code will be included in digital purchase, this might change the playing field.

 

Not for HS obviously. That's why the physical sales will not change a lot.
Wotas will just download the single/album, and then spam it like hell if they want to increase the number. (Won't be that hardcore I suppose)

But if downloading one song can give you one vote, then prepare it to be downloaded individually.

All this still a hypothetical, we'll see how AKS and King Record will deal with this.
