[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

Yeah, it's nothing new in documentaries.

We had Acchan hyperventilating in The Show Must Go On and Yuko crying her eyes out when her graduation concert was cancelled in The Time Has Come.
It was basically the selling point of the documentary:


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

My Japanese is very, very limited. So I had hopes someone would come around and properly explain. Which, you did, so thanks!!
I'll be careful next time

 

I know, I've seen all of them because honestly, I'm a sucker for documentaries. But this one just... felt different. Idk how to explain it properly, like with Acchan or other girls I was at most annoyed that they wouldn't get the cameras out of their faces. This felt much more exploitative when you know that Jurina was mentally unwell and literally went on a hiatus after.

To top it off, this documentary was supposed to show the ~new chapter of AKB, so the fact that they extensively focused on a non-AKB member for only this part made it all the more questionable.

 

Congrats AKB

Speaking about Jurina and the recent documentary, what's your opinion about this: https://twitter.com/AKB48Daily/status/1080811802450001920?s=09
Apparently it made both of (post-PD48) Jurina and Sakura wota went angry

 

it's freaking 2019 and let's ALL MOVE ON!

Anyway, AKB48 still manage to ranked with the top 10 most highest ratings in 69th kouhaku, and compared to 68th, their ratings went up by 1.2 % I'm actually scared because they're performing KFC because we all know A LOOOOOT of people are sick to that song (specially sasshi & yukirin) but probably with help of BNK48, they keep hanging with the top 10. congrats to AKBG & BNK

 

you know what ? i’ve disliked her since forever. and i would never share my pity to her.

but ,

this sakura and jurina drama had been too overextended into unnecessary. i’ve see lot of idiots were involved even not comin from both of sides fans. and pls , akbtaimuzu , akbdaily. know this bulshit site where did they stance first before bringing information which going to bring lot of missknowledge here.

 

It's Paul, what do you expect.

He's deranged obsessed imbecile who won't move on (It's 2019 people, MOVE ON! Everybody else in the world has, It's sad that there is still people who haven't yet). I mean you don't have to like Jurina or Sakura, but if you are still complaining about the whole 2018 SSK, then there is just something seriously wrong with you.

 

Well, I'm not complaining about the whole SSK 2018 tho. I posted this because it's from same documentary w/ Jurina commented about Nogi video and this caused more fuss in Twitter than the previous one (especially with "When Sakura wasn't there..." narrative ).

(But it's from AKBDaily. He love making fuss between Jurina and Sakura wota -especially post-PD48 fans)

CORRECTED: I just watched about Jurina's part (without eng sub), and apparently there's no "when sakura was missing" caption. So is it AKBDaily's fault or the subber's fault? (apparently the subber is post-PD48 Jurina wota, s/he uploaded the engsub @ YT but then it got deleted by AKS lol)

Anyway, move on

I think it because it's the last Sasshi-centered KFC in Kouhaku?

 

Lol, I watched it live as well as some other members here. Even though it was unsighty, I doubt anyone notice if "Sakura was missing". It was freakin Members Request Hour, of course not everyone on stage at the same time. And if my memory serve me right, she collapsed twice, the one handled by Yuihan was when both of them on the air baloon. Not that one.

This stage already has its own thread here: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/team-surprise-3rd-hokori-no-oka-2017-09-04.19763/

 

Yeah it's not like they just released a ton of behind-the-scenes footage from SSK or anything to remind people of it.

 

On my eyes jurina looks like person who too ambitious. When she falls it will be hurt too much of course. Like she doesn't deserve getting first on ssk. Coz u know she doesn't have mental of the real winner. Just sayin

 

well she won.
a real winner won.
u can't be a real winner without ever winning don't u? how can one be a real winner is the winning is not real, but only honourary?
at least not yet now.

she might not be the ideal winner, but in 2018, she won. it's a reality.

 

And those people voted for her obviously thought she deserved to win.

 

Old. Old....old.....
