@09lojh1 ... Thank you for the info. My friend will visit after Thanksgiving through mid/late-December. Any events coming out in that time period (as he's very interested in attending as I've somewhat converted him into an AKB fan ) ? When I went to the AKB HK site to check the release date and other info [www.akb48.com.hk], it came up in a Japanese version (with prices in Yen) then I found a Taiwanese version (with prices in NT). Where the heck is the Cantonese version that lists the prices in HK dollars?! :angry: Nuts that the alarm clock won't be available until Jan. 2012 The website says that the item is "In Stock" Guess I'll have to use FJ to "pre-order" it then
well, the FInals for the AKB talent competition is scheduled to be on the 15th of December, and 9 out of 10, there are gna be akb members there to judge and also do a handshake event.... details hav yet to be confirmed tho~
The official shop is now selling A4 size posters of all members: Version sold in Hong Kong Official Shop only: Include 58 members, with the word "KOWLOON" written Version sold in the museum only: Include the 19 AKB48 senbatsu members, with the word "HONG KONG" written Price: HK$50 each https://www.facebook.com/notes/akb48-of ... 4778113438 (Hope I can get those I want before being sold out )
^^ Hell, they changed the swag the day after I visit!!! Edit: Managed to get back to the store before I left. The posters are nice, but a bit small. It's Acchan month this time; there are already a ton of votes in the box. Decided to get a Team B baseball cap as a souvenir.

^ Looks cool Sikanwan. Are you going to write a report too? The girls all look cute don't they? The people who came to see them look younger than in Japan or am I mistaken? Good to see a lot of girls too. Did you get to ask your questions to Rennachi and Annin ? EDIT: LOL the moment I finished this post you posted your story
^ Yes, just finished writing my story. Probably one of my longest posts ever in stage48. To me, it felt like 90% of the people were guys. Or maybe there were more guys in the queue for Renacchi and Annin. [notme] There were many students, and yes, many were quite young. And this time the handshake was free, so I think it attracted extra more young students. And the event was on weekday, so people who are working might not be able to go. EDIT: Some videos of the performances: Champion: SWEETNESS 1st Runners-up: Candy Star - the only team from Taiwan [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAy82dfrn8 [/yt] [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YUMmw1LVGs[/yt] 2nd Runners-up: Diαmond One of the members was actually injured!

amazing performances! wish I was actually there to watch in person. the injured girl did awesome [clap]
Will be in HK on the 26th! [party] I read up on the official FB for the shop before leaving and I saw something about photo pack sales. Would anybody be so kind as to explain how the sale process works? I'm trying to remember what I read but it's all hazy now... Thank you!
^ http://www.facebook.com/notes/akb48-off ... 0713030511 If you go on the 26th, basically you can buy them directly in the Official Shop for any photo packs unsold today and tomorrow. And probably you can't choose which team to buy.
Im in mainland China right now so no Facebook for me. XD Thanks for the info though. Will hope that there will still be packs avaliable on the 26th.

The result of the "Request Hour 2012 Top 10 Ranking Prediction Competition" has been released. Spoiler And, as expected, no one wins Who can successfully predict all Top 10 songs correctly and even in the correct ranking!!? I guess the shop has never prepared the winning prize. That's why they didn't say what the prize is. https://www.facebook.com/Akb48OfficialS ... 6263669289
Can anyone translate this? http://www.huoli-japan.cn/j/hongkong.html Interested because I'll be in Hong Kong that week.
^ I have posted a brief detail in the News thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=256&start=2250#p527140 The details have not been announced and registration for the Hong Kong show is not opened yet. Will post here if there's any update. EDIT: And another news The AKB48 Museum in Causeway Bay will be closed from 29 Feb. First time I see the official notice in Chinese, Japanese and English. [shock] http://www.facebook.com/notes/akb48-off ... 7869943795
