Announcement video:

They made one mistake here. The video playing beneath the Team M announcement shows Team B2 and the other way around for the Team B2 announcement lol
The most shocking thing: Akimoto can't even touch type

 

So is Team E the team that have longest waiting time (3 years and 5 months) for an original stage? Not to mention they were shuffled before having that. [whew]

 

Although I'm super excited about the actual new stages, I need to tone it down so the wait until 2014 doesn't kill me . Well we have a trio to look forward to by the end of the year at least, and k is first in line for akb [party]

 

10 new stages!! That's gotta be over 150 new songs.
Then throw singles and an original album. . . .200 +

Spoiler

my wallet cries

 

[Joke] maybe the mass graduate of 48g, just like SDN [/joke]

New original stages is not big enough for tomorrow, then the most possible thing will be a world tour of the whole 48g, 300+ members, that's really BIG

 

Yeah, we must be the only fandom that gets over 10 albums in a year.
I guess (and I hope I'm wrong) the recent Team songs will go in these stages. Let's wait and see.
But still, it's gonna be a hell of a year from now on. [rock]

You can call me Prophet48.

Also, that video must be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more impressive with the audience roaring and the girls crying.

 

Akicha I don't get, but there is always tomorrow (well, Akicha also has opportunities in JKT so...). I'd rather see other members than Jurina tbh. She's an ace of two groups and senbatsu, and somewhat known for getting injured/sick. I'd rather her just chill.

Miichan's still a member though, which is a huge difference.

About the concert. I was totally expecting RIVER, but then Lay Down came on so it was a nice change. The shuffles were great. Tomochin in Tsundere Paruru in Kinjirarta [clap] MARIA [party]

I was thinking 'wouldn't a staff KFC ver be nice? Its certainly popular enough' but I'm like, 'nah, they'd never'. Then Sasshi made us practice (which was really fun, there was a cute girl in front of me -maybe 10??- who was totally in to it ) before announcing the staff! It was great to recognise them from the video! The girl next to me was freaking out before the announcement had even said 'new stage'

I'm surprised no one is complaining about the "Aki-P said they'd ALL be this year" thing. And why would they make such a huge announcement when they aren't original stages? SKE just announced their waiting stages, so if there was only going to be WS, other groups would get the same thing. In any case, I'm quite happy and am looking forward to the coming year! (though I wonder how many shuffles/concurrencies will occur between now and then )

Also, I know it wasn't Sakiko who played the piano, but could someone explain more about who did play it??

 

I really feel like ALL of my Christmases have come...the announcement of new stages is something that I've been waiting for seemingly forever. I'm definitely one of those fans who loves the stages the most! I would never have guessed that they'd announce ALL of the new stages at once...and tbh, I was surprised that ALL the new teams are getting stages. I can't wait to see Team H's new stage or Team E's stage...as well as my beloved Team A, of course.

So happy!

 

Azuma Rion is a prodigial child in the 48 group, having been promoted from KKS the fastest of any girl (she only spent 18 days as KKS). I guess she plays the piano as well. She's a pretty good performer from what I've seen.

Anyway I expected there to be new stages for at least AKB and Team N, but I did not in a million years expect new stages for EVERY team! WOW! That's AWESOME! [party]

I didn't see anyone translate the Team N stage yet so I think it's something like "Even here, there are angels". Yes, yes there are...

I'm fully expecting the next AKB album to be announced tomorrow, it's overdue. Need my After rain!

[edit] Thanks so much for the writeup Mr Waffle You're so lucky to have been there!

 

To add to what I said yesterday (Mr Waffles post reminded me).
Amina was shown in a far more flattering light (I think the problem is the skirt hem is under the corset, so it isn't smooth, but the camera focussed more on her chest up, so it wasn't an issue).
I think I had all the Paruru fans around me, because in Kinji they all went nuts. There was a fair few Miichan fans around me as well (and surprisingly a lot of SKE fans - yesterday pretty much everyone around me couldn't care less about the sister groups)

^Thanks for the info!

With announcements, I want an album and/or Majisuka 4 (or a new drama/anime/live action something). For songs, I want Himawari and any of the Majisuka songs. I doubt I'll get all/any of those but

 

@HRP
what's the reason why your angry that I said I hope NO GRADUATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT on Tokyo Dome. I'm a fan of not only the group but also the member. AKB48 can be interesting without losing one member because she graduated. it's AKS job to make the fans keep on coming not mainly the girls.

no big announcement so far, but I'm hoping for Day 3. Janken is coming-up anyway!!
and good thing the new stage are gonna be used next year. it's no wonder that the new stage will come up next year since AKB48 had been very busy this year.

 

^^New album definitely tomorrow! Hopefully a 2CD kind again

 

so happy about the new stage announcement.
But for BII it will be a long wait. In the mean time there may be some member rearrangements so that the concept of the stage may not fit the team at that time. Off course considering that all stages are going to be original.
Maybe BII gets a waiting stage before their original one to draw some focus.

 

Just out of curiosity, if 10 new stages isn't a big enough announcement for you, then what exactly would you classify as a "big announcement"?

 

I want to see kondo koso ecstasy live, it seems like a song that would be awesome that way.

haha, I had to cover my grin when I read your post about fortune cookie since someone was walking by at that moment. I hope there's good footage of all that :music:

 

Same here. This is their biggest announcement since the shuffle itself last year.

 

Funniest thing I've read all day, thank you!

 

I think one of the reason AKS will arrange the new stage just now is that the shuffled members on their new team must first build a sort of chemistry and a time to get used to each other especially it's a big shuffle almost half of the new teams are shuffled members. it will really take months before they can finalized everything. the songs, choreography,costumes and the members who will be on the stage songs.
and I think if ever there is a Majisuka Gakuen. it might composed of NMB48 and HKT48 members.

@Trinu
@DreamingPebbles
I don't think many fans though it's a big announcement since we really expect new stage for a year now.
did that really come out as a shocker? since it's obviously expected.
really? how can you say it's big when it's expected for a year now?

 

^ You expected every team in the entire 48G to get an original stage in less than a year's time? Who are you, Nostradamus? lol
