Re: THE AKB48 thread! Because the last time someone suggested it (during the "Sayaka sleepover" scandal), the overwhelming majority of replies was negative. People don't want to fuel scandal rumours and speculation about their oshi. (For the record I was in favour of it so people wouldn't come in and say "I didn't see anything about it so here's some old rumour you talked about weeks ago!", but most people weren't so...)
Re: THE AKB48 thread! Wow... management moved quickly! Warota7 is now Warota5... Nacchan has been removed and Wasamin started her solo career. Good luck to both girls with their life and careers [clap]
Re: THE AKB48 thread! ^ Oh? Is that official? I thought they would fill up the spot by promoting someone new ... But I guess that's not bad, too. Since now Wasamin can focus on her solo career which I think is better for her. Also, I guess it makes sense for them to do this since Wasamin is no longer with Ogi Pro.
Re: THE AKB48 thread! ^ I said this in the Warota thread, but I don't think Wasamin has left Warota, just that the OgiPro website obviously only shows girls which are signed to OgiPro. I haven't seen any official announcements to say Wasamin has left. maybe it will happen in the upcoming days if she is due to leave as don't think they would announce while there is a Warota handshake happening.
Re: THE AKB48 thread! Please don't make me spit out my cereal in laughter. You know what's funny though? The fact Mariko and Sae didn't really have to do much to look 'bro (especially to their hair), as opposed to everyone else...
Re: THE AKB48 thread! Saw the below on the official blog. Seems to suggest that the AKB Kohaku Uta Gasen is expected for some time in April and something about DVDs of a tour in March. But schedule could be subject to change. Hope I translated it correctly.
Re: THE AKB48 thread! Gugh! Yuko center = hawwwwww! And Rino, Yui, and Rie look good, too. B-) Seriously, one of the first things I thought of was "Sorry, Sorry" by Super Junior. Also...Taka's hair looks awesome. Not sure where Atsuko and Itano are. Or why Mariko's the only one wearing a blue suit. Or why there are no pinstripe suits there. But yeah...me gusta.
