Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka) / 2nd Generation

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

I applied last year and got in to see old Team A. Good chance of getting them if you're a foreigner. For some reason AKB seem easier to get than SKE and NMB, not sure about HKT though.

I'm going to apply again and write in the email that Sayaka is my oshi, and try and see her in June/July time when I am on holidays yup yup.

Here's the MuJack ep with Takamina and Sayaka in case you haven't seen it yet.

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

I hope you"ll be able to see Sayaka again .

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

Funny you mention that, when I was watching it, she was saying how she wanted to pull out before 25 so she can still try out different jobs in entertainment industry and not get tie down to idol image permanently and I was like "25? Aren't you turning 25 THIS YEAR?!!!"

Anyway, I think it was expected and a good time too. Last year her ranking already took a dive even though her popularity to general public was increasing and she had plenty of solo works. Granted it's not Tomochin level but both of them are in same situation where their out-of-group fan popularity is much greater than in-group fan popularity.

As for some people saying they've been neglected, they do realize that their individual agency is Office 48, the same ownership and management group as AKS right? If anything, they done a great job so far preparing them for solo works. Granted both Yuttan and Sayaka hasn't have high profile jobs like the kami-level members, but they been getting steady solo works when they are not featured in the main group appearances which is really the way how things should work anyway. I mean you don't see kami-level member showing up in AKB core shows anymore either, except when they try to sell or promote something....

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

Just found out yesterday that she is graduating and to think today I'm watching her live in Singapore. Talk about the amazing luck. I used to only be devoted to mayuyu but wow in person sayaka looks so much more amazing.

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

yeah nothing beats watching her life...i was her when she came to LA and i really luvd her performance...

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

Damn so wish I could of gone and seen her in person in singapore. Only found about that AKB performance a few days ago,anyway..
Random question, does Sayaka have any siblings? I've always been curious [think]

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

^She has a brother.

It's sad to see Sayaka graduate, too, but does anyone know when she is graduating?

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

No date yet. They usually wait a bit for the big ones to graduate, but I'm not sure if she's classed as a big one though, despite being a founding member.
I think it'll either be at the K6 Revival or a theatre performance by the end of June. Or maybe on election night, to add more drama

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

I have been showing my sister a ton of AKB videos, and we both are crazy over Sayaka. I have discovered what an amazing woman she is, and my sister and I have been dreaming up all the shuffles with her and Takamina, like Temodemo no Namida and Kuroi Tenshi. Of course, now that she's graduating (I still find it hard to accept), those shuffles won't happen, but I can still dream
Their undeniable chemistry in Infinity is Sayaka kicks ass on stage, and it will be a huge loss for AKB once she's gone.

So, since I ship Takamina and Sayaka so much, I came up with a couple name for them: Sayamina. [party]
Comment/reply if you ship them too

P.S. Love love love Sayaka in Confession, Kuroi Tenshi, Itoshiki Natasha, Blue Rose, and Mushi no Ballad. Wish she could've had a chance to perform Bird and Temodemo no Namida, two of my favorite songs by AKB.

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

I like that...Sayamina...lol..although im more of a saeyaka fan but i like sayamina too...lol...
and if by u ship them u mean that u like them i do too...i wouldve luvd to have seen a unit with them two...

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

a Mushi no Ballad sayamina duet would be amazing

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

^i agree...ive seen the smashed up version of all the team captains and it sounds great so def both of them on a mushi no ballad duet would be awesome...

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

Yes!!!! That will kill my heart in the best way possible.
They already sound amazing performing it solo, but imagine if those two epic voices were to combine...that will seriously go down as one of the best AKB performances ever...

Thanks! Yes, by ship I mean that I love them performing together. Gosh, what I would give to see Temodemo no Namida with Sayaka and Takamina.
Or just any shuffle with them is fine

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)

Just some Sayaka stuff going around the web:

Sayaka-oshi has been doing series called "The Akimoto Sayaka That I Know" for the past 2 weeks. It's a good read to learn some interesting tidbits about Sayaka. It's currently at #10 in the series.

Twin Tower Rabu Land has started translating the "Listen? Live 4 Life" radio broadcast of Saeyaka last night. Part 1 is up right now.

And some more mentions from AKB members regarding Sayaka's graduation: Kitarie/Unagi, Shihorin, Suuchan.

 

Re: Team K - Akimoto Sayaka (Sayaka)
