Nice to see a slightly big AKB-only senbatsu (my AKB-only senbatsu is much bigger than that and do not include Nyan, Miichan, Yukirin and Myao).

Happy for: Naachan, Tomu, Juri, Yuiri, Megu
Sad for: Mikichan, Tanochan, Sayaya, Yuitan, Yuiyui

 

So, this was released today. Anyone seen it yet? Any reviews?

 

Naachan's G+ said it's a must see for 3 musketeers fans, so I'm assuming they have a big role in the documentary. But also grads are supposed to appear, I wonder which ones and how many. I'm actually pretty hype for this thanks to what some of the girls have been saying about it.

 

I'm just glad that the "new chapter" has begun in earnest. These are very exciting times if you still follow the HQ group

 

No Miki

 

I just came back from seeing the documentary! I'll put my thoughts behind a spoiler so no one gets mad at me.

Spoiler

• So much Komiharu! I didn't enjoy seeing her sadness when talking about burikko though, it upset me. Seeing her jealous over Miion's center position was a bit off-putting too, but it can't be helped.
• Mitsumune Kaoru made an appearance and it reminded me how much I disliked her. Showing her sobbing because she didn't get ranked when she first got in the group really pissed me off. Just because you were a "Super KKS" doesn't mean you should automatically rank or expect to! I gotta say though, she is definitely more cute now than before, definitely more refined. Still needs to gain a bit of weight though!
• I was surprised by all the exposure Okada Ayaka got, but it was really sad. Her father died and he was the one who supported her a lot becoming an idol. When she sang Sakura no Ki ni Narou they showed her father's empty seat and she talked about how she sang to him. I cried a lot.
• Miki is actually likable now, I'm happy they had some 'private' moments with her. Made her more normal and I liked that.
• Naachan is such a babe.
• Having them talk about 5th gen made me so happy. Mayumi's restaurant got a lot of airtime! BRING ON THE ROYALTIES.
• The lack of sister groups (kennin ones, at least) pleased me. It was very AKB-only, with the one exception being Harugon. They talked about her and her start, her rise in JKT, and her decision to graduate.
• Tsunku being interviewed and having to type his answers absolutely broke my heart. I love that man, I'm happy that he can apparently speak again though!
• I'm VERY HAPPY that they didn't make this a "Takamina" documentary. I feel like AKB can really start their new chapter now because of this documentary.
• I forgot to add one of the weirdest parts to me. Mika appeared with her baby and they brought up that maybe we'd see her in 10 years in AKB. LOL?

All in all, GO SEE THIS. It's amazing!

 

@Kinenbi thanks for your summary! Really helped to consider the content of the documentary

 

Riripon needs to be more like Ayaka and less like Goudo because Riripon's mother was in the hospital. Not sure about her condition.

 

for me this description is very depressing I know these members, but I'm not interested in them at all. and now I begin to understand that for me AKB begins to die...

 

I think it lack of sister group because the sister group have their own documentary too. I just want to know about Naachan but with your spoiler is really short lol why you do this to me and the last one thank for your summary

 

Is there a link to watch the full documentary? SO excited

 

No, I went to the movie theaters and saw it. Sorry to disappoint .

Here is some more Naachan info!

Spoiler

They do talk about how she took a break, but I didn't understand it that well. My Japanese kind of sucks sometimes so I miss out.

Miki did talk about the relationship between Kojimako and Naachan though! She said that they weren't really friends and not really rivals, but like "nakama". I hope I understood her correctly!

 

@Kinenbi thanks for the summary.
Any info on the song?

Try again in January 2017.

 

you are such a god blessed

/ sorry for my english skill

 

It was rather somber, but to be honest I have already forgotten most of what it sounded like. I apologize.
