Roughly half the audience is seated and the rest have to stand. You don't have to sit down if you don't want to. However, the seats have much better view to the stage. The standing area is located behind all the seats in the back of the theater. So, people struggle for a seat, not because they want to be seated, but because they want a closer look!
Yeah, I've never actually seen the seated guys go crazy and dance. They just tend to do that hand movement, haha.
Kawasaki Nozomi has been leading the American Idol x AKB48 stuff that goes with the Japanese broadcasting of AI too, though she only says "This is.... AMERICAN IDOL". xD
You have mentioned (in stage48.co.nr) that one of AKB's girls has also participated in FEAM. Which one was it, again? Do you know if she's still part of that group? Thanks, anyone!
Thanks so much eminem2005 !!! They look cute and the preview samples are not bad at all (they sound like Hinoi Team) !!!
In my opinion, Hinoi Team is wayyyyy better. ^ ^ I don't like FEAM, judging by the official site and the samples. I bet Kazearashi's sig shows Hii-chan in the FEAM era???
hey, how they choose the girls to be featured in a single? is it based on ability, luck *if they choose randomly* popularity, team or...?
Looking at Keibetsu, I'd say it's a mix of ability, popularity, and simply whether or not their voices suit the song.
few more questions lol *I have A LOT, actually* these girls doing their concerts everyday, do they get home schooling or still in public/privat schools? when they graduated *though their system is different than momusu's* do they get any graduation concert? I heard there was a transfer member *sorry, forget her name* to join some sport event is she still part of AKB or not anymore?
I don't think Yuki, Ayako or Ayumi got graduation performances - maybe they did and I haven't heard, but I doubt it. Sports thing, maybe you mean Kasai Tomomi, Itano Tomomi and Oshima Mai who were transferred to a different production company. They joined a futsal team, and up until now their activities in AKB48 have been unaffected. The announcement did say that if they're needed with their new production people when they're supposed to be performing then Team B members will take their places.
The girls all go to school as far as I remember (at least those of school age). I've seen some pictures of them in their regular seifuku, and they mentioned on some TV shows how much it costs. Graduating members don't get a special concert, it's the same songs every time anyway Oshima Mai, Itano Tomomi and Kasai Tomomi transferred agencies, but this doesn't affect their time in AKB48 at all. Just their media side (mags, TV shows etc) is handled by another related company. Other girls are said to be moving in the future too.
that futsal team is real futsal team or something like H!P's gatas? wow, that's great I hope they wont get stalked hey, what's AKB48's agency? I heard the owner is utaban's producer, is that right?
Yep it's a futsal team like Gatas, probably better though. Does anyone know how much the girls get paid, if at all?
