    Ok, stupid question here!

    In some songs the girls use boku. So are they singing from the point of view of the guy or are they being tomboyish? For example, in Kakkowarui I Love you!, they use boku. I remember an intro to an AKB single where Takamina said the song was from the guy's point of view. I have a hard time thinking that a song is sung from the guy's point of view when it's a bunch of beautiful girls singing. :^^;:

    This question pops up often with all Japanese music, basically, some songs are written explicitly from the point of view of a guy, while for a few others, it's vague and not gender-specific, they just use it because it fits the song better. But for AKB it's mostly because the song is from a guy's point of view.

    I believe the last time it was talked about here was in the everyday kachuusha thread. Read that for more discussion [hehe]

    Why was Watanabe Marie fired? And what was the name of the last KKS who's purikura got out? Not the NMB48 KKS the one in AKB48, I think it was a while back but I know there was someone other than Ayaka.

    main reason for her firing was that she posted on her blog that her favorite drink was tequilla, which actually isn't at all bad except for the fact that she was 17. her post was quickly taken down, but people were able to cache the entry. she left the group the day after her theater debut as my oshi's under.

    Why was Wantanabe Marie fired? I saw that she had a Mixi and pics were circulated, but were they smoking pictures or something?

    They tend to be about 2 hours..ish. About an hour and a bit of songs, and MC's between the songs, and then the inevitable wait for the encore etc.

    Unless you meant how long they perform that stage until they move onto a new one... who know's. Some stages have been performed for a long time.. some are relatively short in comparison (NMB's first was 5 months)

    Hello guys, I want to ask a question here :)

    In the latest PV of AKB, Ice no Kuchizuke, there is a cake at the end of the video right?

    What does that cake say?

    I'm guessing the cake is from/for Aimi since there is an "ai" kanji in the name on the cake :p


    Thanks in advance :worthy:

    ^ In the PV, it's written on the cake: これからもよろしくお願いします! 愛実 (something like "from now on too, I'm in your care/please treat me well - Aimi")

    Plus:

    - in Yuko's card: 踊ってる優子大好き  あつこ ("I love the dancing Yuko/when Yuko is dancing - Atsuko")

    - in Shinoda's card: 演技してる姿も様になってるぅ。栄養つけて頑張って!!  優子 ("You're reaching the point of also having a figure of an actress. Take care of your nutrition and give your best!! Yuko")

    - in Tomochin's cellphone: 夢がリアル かっこいいぞ! まりこ ("The dreams are/became real, so cool – Mariko")

    - on Mayuyu's stuffed toy: Dear まゆ アルパカパカパカ From Tomo ('Dear Mayu, Alpacapacapaca – From Tomo")

    - in Takamina's card: 日ごろの感謝の気持ちを込めて... まゆゆより ("with the habitual feeling of gratitude... From Mayuyu")

    - in Takamina's cellphone: 愛実へ ("For Aimi")
