Generation AKB48 17th Generation

i won't be able to feel better (or (hopefully not) worse) about it until we know what it actually is.

 

Whoops I was watching something else that's being released today!

=====================================
Mayuu just graduated! from High School

https://twitter.com/mayuu_masai0301/status/1634467057843728387
Aichan also announced it last week.
Now only Hotechan and Sorara that are still LJK.

===============================

 

These Sakura no Ki ni Narou costumes are so pretty and it fits so well our 17ki girls! I'm happy they get to wear recent and totally new costumes made by Shinobu-san specially for them, but also that they get use these old (but gold) costumes as well!

 

Maybe, but the teser doesn't even show half the models revealed so far, so I'm not sure if they're done revealing yet or not.

 

and there's still a month and a half to go.

 

Slow news days these few days... especially since there's no theater today.
Should be picking up in upcoming days though!
So we got no theater, but we got:

Chihougumi Random Dance SHOWROOM (Mar 13, 18:00 JST)
EDIT : (Cancelled, see post by @xabizalla96 below)
https://twitter.com/miyuu_mizushima/status/1635086517029986304
https://twitter.com/erichan_akb48/status/1635052628072865792
Share house members (Hotechan Erichan and Mizumin) went somewhere together and posted these photos,
also they will be doing Random Dance stream later today!
Not sure whose showroom will host it, check it later at that time!


Note: idk how to properly make the thumbnail clickable on imgur, can someone teach me?
I only added "m" at the end of the image names to make them into acceptable thumbnail size, if you wanna see the full size remove the "m"

Note2 I fail on editing in the links into images lol, adding multiple always ended up with 1 link only.
Anyway, full image links

Spoiler

My method is to click on the thumbnail of the photo on the Imgur gallery page, then on the bottom right in 'Sizes' I click on 'Medium Thumbnail' which loads the required BBCode in the two fields above. I use the one in 'Linked BBCode', I just click on the 'Copy' button and then do a Ctrl+V paste into the post. (You could use 'Small Thumbnail' if preferred or indeed 'Large Thumbnail' but the latter is too big IMO although still within the size rules of this forum.)

 

Sadly seems like the dance stream has been cancelled and changed for a Karaoke stream at 20:00 JST

sadface

Seems like Mizumin managed to stream a bit of the dances before it got cut off due to "various" reasons.
Copyright issue?

Anyway looking forward for the Karaoke Stream in 10 mins

====================

I see, my biggest error is not having an Imgur account it seems haha
Thanks for the help!

====================
Due to Yukitan being sick,
Nonchan will instead participate on HADO Day10 tomorrow (Mar 14), along with Hotechan and Aichan.

you could also just manually do what imgur does with the commands - enter the thumbnail here with Image as you did, then select the picture with cursor and insert the hyperlink to the original size

 

Chihougumi Karaoke SHOWROOM (Mar 13, 20:00 JST)

Links : Hote, Eri, Miyuu

As for the random dance, they were able to fit about 3-4 songs before they took a break and the manager asked them to mute/cut off the stream.
Songs were muted just after the first song, Iiwake Maybe. Seems like a copyright issue from sony era is a bit strict? idk for sure.

Mayuu guest Showroom Senbatsu episode is moved to Mar 14, 20:00 JST

https://twitter.com/SHOWROOM_jp/status/1635264504186687490
Good thing, it doesn't clash so much with HADO now!

=====================

I suppose, yes, I'll edit the images above with this method, thanks for the tips!
I like PostImg doing it automatically for me though, Imgur wants my phone number for registration and I just can't approve all the permission it wanted when connected with twitter so.... gotta stay with postimg for now.

 

Spoiler

why did you want to switch to imgur? is something wrong with postimg? was it making things too easy?

 

At long last here's the full ANA airplane version MV for 'Hisashiburi no Lip Gloss':

(N.B. videos from the 'Saikin' show seem to get frequently deleted and replaced so this link might die in the next 12 hours or so...)

 

Yukitan has recovered from influenza and participated on Shibuya LOFT9 Idol Club! (渋谷LOFT9 アイドル倶楽部 vol.38) (Mar 15)
Seems like a Talk Show with other idols too.

=============================
HADO Final Season Day10 (Mar 14)
Another exhibition match, this time with Nonchan, Aichan and Hotechan!


They did a 3v3 match vs top HADO team, Arc-A's !
Also no handicap and gimmick this time!
Last time 17ki lost badly 5-14 vs this top HADO team.
After months of training, have the 17ki girls improved?

It was a great match!
They lost, but just by a very small 1 point difference! 10-11

Arc-A's team was playing seriously to win, yet was caught off-guard. So they recognize the growth of 17ki girls' skills, especially in aiming.
Much improvement in 5 months! 17ki did about 20 matches per day with fans after all.

Day12, the ultimate season end, will be on May 20, but 17ki will not take part.
Their final battle vs their nemesis, FLASH Editor team will be on Day11 (Mar 30)!

AKB48 no Showroom Senbatsu! (Mar 14 Episode)

if the video does not show watch the video here
Mayuu was a guest, haven't fully watched, will post summary later

================================
Details of the 61st Single was revealed!
https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12793820819.html
Title is [Doushitemo Kimi ga Suki Da]

Covers: (Big size images)

Aichan Sorara and Yukinee look great there!
Refer to the 61st single thread for more info : http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...-doushitemo-kimi-ga-suki-da-2023-04-26.24392/

Reveal Livestream:

if the video does not show watch the video here
So it was revealed that there will be a Kenkyuusei song this single!
Titled [Ano Natsu no Bouhatei] /「あの夏の防波堤」 , roughly "That Summer's Breakwater"
Aichan center!
Aichan also hinted that it will be a summer style, energetic/exciting song. Different vibes compared to Wonderful Love.
There was a discussion on whether it would include 18ki since they listed the singer as AKB48 Kenkyuusei and not 17ki Kenkyuusei like before, also that they didn't show the performer list on livestream unlike the other songs.
However, the list of performers on ameblo link above specified that it's all 17ki girls only!
Can't wait for some preview!
I always love their summer song with idol-ish energetic vibe so I'm really looking forward for this one!

====================

Spoiler: off-topic

Haha just wanted to try it out, also postimg was slow/can't be reached when I posted that. I believe Imgur is the most stable one too.

 

Spoiler

oh, ok. i was trying to think of what might be wrong with postimg and then i remembered there used to be some "put your xxx here" ad button or something that i long ago blocked/forgot and was thinking maybe there was something sleazier going on that i wasn't even aware of.

 

Spoiler

The only problem with imgur is you lose the original filename

 

long time no post here (life gets in the way sometimes)
Tomorrow's (Mar 27) 17kenkyuujo will be the final for the Cooking Competition!
Yukitan, Yukinee and Sorara will be competing, with Mizumin as special judge (in addition to other staffs)!
Snippets from past preliminary rounds + participants being told that the final cooking task is ChaHan(japanese fried rice) + 1 extra dish

17ki Cooking Queen Competition Final


Also Yukitan birthday celebration!



Then the final cooking battle!
Pics order (left to right): Sorara-Yukinee-Yukitan's cooking! Who do you think won?


Cooking Performance : Yukitan won
Taste : Sorara won
Appearance : Yukinee won

After tallying the total scores, the final winner is :

Spoiler: Winner!

Yukitan! Very close match with only 1 score difference each.
Congrats for the Cooking Queen!

On the other news,
Subscribers down to 1570.... is this show also getting cancelled soon as promised?
Of course it would not be if they get to 2000.
That's why they'll get another Subs-only Theater Show on April 16, 18:00 JST !

This time with Eriko-Yukitan lineup.

Also YukiEri online Fanmeeting on April 18! (on Erichan's Birthday)

Topic will be similar to AKB48 Center Exam, or AKB48 quiz.
Because both Yukinee and Erichan are widely known to be fans of AKB even before becoming members.
Yukinee even confidently says there's no need to study for this to win

BOMB Magazine May Issue (BOMB!(ボム!) 2023年5月号)
Will be released on April 7
https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0BX927QFV?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=nappa02-
Sorara, Yukinee, and Aichan are featured on the cover!
Together with Yuiyui and Zukky.
Also samples of contents:



=============================
Miion commented on 17ki recent performance together

if the video does not show watch the video here
Miion says here that for the first performance she was on the same grouping as Sorara and Erichan.
They had been scolded a lot during practice due to not being able to move uniformly for some difficult sections, but Mion was amazed how they could do it perfectly during the real performance, and with smile too. She said she's lucky she's not a 17ki member, or she'd be very nervous
(haha I'm pretty sure Mion could do it well when she was a kenkyuusei too)

I think Miion was referring to this finger movement part of the 2nd verse beginning:


Last part was just a comment on how the chibi trio (Sorara-Mion-Naru) was in between Maho and Erii during the Universal teaser video


===========================

if the video does not show watch the video here
According to Eriko, the 17ki girls who were performing in the new song reveal were having trouble in the beginning because they were used to practice with video available.
It's a new song so obviously no such thing.
So they had to watch the 16 teachers performing it and remember.
It's not mentioned here but another member said that the 4 of them worked hard together to remember and practice the movements which are detailed and difficult.

HADO Final Season Day11 (Mar 31)
Last Battle vs FLASH Editor Team!
At last the time has come to face their Nemesis.
17ki sent their best, strongest players. Hotechan, Kokko, and Sorara!

The Flash Editors were pretty confident since they've won twice before.


Will 17ki girls be able to make use of their 20+ matches per HADO day and finally get their win??
They used the shield strategy:


and....


THEY WINN!!!
Kokko was actually the top scorer too! with 6 KO.
Seems like the strat was Hotechan focusing on shield, while Kokko and Sorara attacks.
FLASH team was serious too. The excuse was that they were busy and had not enough sleep.

Anyway, the reward is a gravure project from FLASH, that promises to show the charm of 17ki girls.
Can't wait!

17ki will be on Nemousu again next week! (Apr 6, 7:30 PM)

They are going to have a Catch Copy competition? (pretty sure this is not English)
Apparently it means "Advertising Slogan"
For AKB Election??
Wait for next week for it!

BTW unrelated, but I heard some rumor that Nemousu is closely tied to King Records and it might be over once this season is done. Hopefully it's not!!
