    Talking about school uniforms. AKB48 often use such clothes in their song but I wonder if the clothes in Sakura no Ki ni Narou can be called school uniforms? It's the same style but more colourful and not so dark.

    I guess I would call it stylized school uniform. To be honest, many of the school uniforms they wear are not exactly realistic, for example they often have shorter skirts than actual school uniforms or they add little cute details to them that actual uniforms wouldn't have.

    That's my opinion too. Sometimes their variants of uniforms are bad but some are really fine and cute. For example Stage B4, Joshikousei wa yamerarenai and following. Short skirt and very short blazer.

    It's very strange, but for some reason the Concert titles in the Wiki seems to be impossible to be translated. Can someone give me a clever english translation of "AKB48 Masaka, Kono Concert no Ongen wa Ryuushutsushinai yo ne?" I don't trust Google translate.

    "Kono Concert no Ongen wa" ... I'd would guess 'concerning the sound source of this concert'
    'Ryuushutsu' = outflow, leak or discharge so 'Ryuushutsujinai' is no outflow/discharge/leak

    well Bing gives:
    AKB48 No way, the sound source of this concert is not leaked, right?

    that is much better than what Google made of it (when I used the Romanji), and matches what I would have guessed ..... but my Japanese is extremely limited and for sure there are people with a much better grasp of Japanese.
    edit, using the kana Google gives:
    AKB48 No way, the sound source of this concert will not leak out, right?

    but you're right, my Japanese teacher tells us, do not trust google translate

    Google have given me some good laughs, but sometimes there's no faults. I think I'll name it: 081123 NHK Hall. AKB48 Masaka(No Way) But it would have been fine to have the whole title.

    In that case 'AKB48 No way, the (unfinished) sound source of this concert will not leak out, right?" would make sense as a concert title ;)

    or 'AKB48 surely, the (unfinished) sound source of this concert will not leak out, right?", because otherwise it would be kind of a double negative

    Same reason she eventually graduated. Knee injury that never fully healed.

    OSCD is part of Osare Company. The one ran by 48G costume designer extraordinaire and formerly GM of 48G, Shinobu Kayano.

    Also, you missed another. HKT's Watanabe Akari. ;)

    That tie is actually pretty nice. And I HATE ties.

    Just a translation. What says the title and which names? Scanned from a DVD cover.

    I've you have a smartphone with the google translate app you can use that to do either a live translate with your camera of do it with a photo

    first word is 'graduation'

    first kanji in the first name is either 'dai' or 'o', anyway it gave me Ogawa Miyuki, but as it is Kanji ... it changes to Osami Oe when I move the camera, so not that usefull :/
    大江朝美 = Oe Tomomi :)
    駒谷仁美 = Komatani Hitomi

    well, they seem to be 1st gen members
    edit: they are 1st gen members
    戸島花 = Tojima Hana
    中西里菜 = Nakanishi Rina
    成田梨紗 = Narita Risa

    (in the end I just drew the Kanji in the Google Translate web app, and looked at the romanji (the Translation not always makes that much sense of course)
    btw, those Kanji with over 8 strokes .... arrghh :)

    Thanks both. Then I understand. It was the day of mass graduation in NHK Hall: Nakanishi Rina, Narita Risa, Komatani Hitomi, Tojima Hana, Ohe Tomomi.

    Oe’s page says redirected from Ohe. Click on Ohe’s name on the concert page.

    How can you not know Chiyori?!! ;)

    Euh, is it really bad that the first thing that comes to mind regarding her is that she can do an impersonation of the @ symbol
    But I'm more worried that my oshi will never forgive for not knowing 西野未姫 :oops:

    Only transcription I've seen is Oe
    The kun reading for 江 = え (btw. it's the kanji where the katakana エ is derived from), so Oe
    The on reading = こう
    Link to the Wikidictionary page 3 Japanese
