[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

I'm talking about numbers, not moral.
I'm pretty sure that for many actions, people with certain backgrounds and situations have higher chance of doing it than people with other backgrounds.

 

I hear what you’re saying. But also implying that doing those things means you have lower morals is problematic too. Morals are completely subjective, and if a person has a sugar daddy as a way of making easy money, it’s their business.

And most of the time, situations like sugar daddies, enjo kousai, etc. there’s a large age and maturity distinction between the two parties. And implying that the young woman who are being manipulated/used/etc by these older/wealthier men are “immoral” is a little bit regressive.

 

OK, donald.

 

Rich girls tend to have better morality??

Wow. Didn't realize we have a couple of classists here in S48.

 

ignorance is everywhere

 

2022 TBC Summer Festival 7/24 with Tomu, Nagi, Ayane, Ayamin, Odaeri and Naamin (credit to uploader):

 

Last time HADOkai might've ended up creating a COVID cluster (mainly team A though).
Hopefully this time it was all fine.

huh according to Mion's SR they just decided the setlist the night before? So they had to contact members on LINE and ask them to do songs that they've done before.
Interesting, maybe YuuNaa being missing threw their schedule into disarray.

Yukirin tweeted that she compiled the setlist for today's SUMMER STATION and she apologised for including a number of Team B songs :

I don't think management has ever considered that a downside in fact sometimes it is used as content in variety shows (such as her hobbies, her house, her expensive brand fashion/bags, etc). Fans seem to eat it up.

Since it is subjective then you have no objective authority to decide what is or isn't moral nor what is 'better' morality.

Murayama Yuiri and Tokunaga Remi got Covid.

Now pretty much all senbatsu member have gotten Covid except Hiichan maybe?
nvm Tomu, Megu and Miu never got it either

 

idk where to put this, don't think it's right to start new thread just for 1 episode
Nemousu TV Season 39 episode 1 is free on youtube
Secret surprise for a fan's wedding party:

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Well, since the last Nemousu TV thread I found was for Season 36 (and all it does is listing the links for the 35 seasons threads, the website + when it airs), so I guess nobody here cares enough about it anyway. (If wrong I'm sorry)
Either making future posts of this program here or somebody creates a universal thread for the current and all future seasons.

 

I'm interested in their bigger projects which they do sometimes, but yeah I can understand why it is not generating interest with comparatively less availability than other shows.
They recently start having the 1st episode of the season free on youtube for teaser.

The job Orin got from SayoMouri for the Mutou Sisters

Basically the two of them competing, exposing each other's dirty laundry, etc.
Certainly they have different charms compared to the Satou Sisters.

 

According to a survey by modelpress, motokare desu entered as 1st rank in the list of TOP 10 Summer Songs by Girl Groups.

Is it aired on tv, or is it a online only thing?
I wish AKB would have an actuall, weekly YouTube program, like 20-30 minutes long, and not just livestreams or previews for new episodes on their VOD website.
So why not stream all Nemousu TV episodes on their channel for free, and not only the first? (I actually watched the first episode from the last season and liked it, I wished it would've continued)
I mean, Nogi streams their main show on YT.. for free.. world wide..

 

Congratulations!

 

IIRC it's on Family Gekijou channel, available in some sort of premium cable TVs. They also have the online version with subscriptions:
https://club.fami-geki.com/video/2532/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=akb

As for why it's not free, well it's all down to how they make money from the content, and what strategy they choose?
Family Gekijou is certainly footing some of the cost, and they chose subscription/cable TV route. They have been doing this since 2008.
I'd also love to see more of Nemousu too! More AKB content is always better.
When did Nogizaka start streaming the show on YT for free?
AKB tried with the OUC48 channel during pandemic but it didn't do well.
Currently I can only think of the the 17ken show for free on youtube.
