[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

The one with Eguchi Aimi rumoured to join is it? Seem plausible since currently she quite inactive in sosial media.

 

I don't know why people are disagreeing or disliking your post since it's pretty much all true. The level of covid deaths in the UK and Ireland has barely moved during the winter while cases have gone way up, indicating as you said a milder less lethal form of the disease. Omicron seems to be barely more than a mild cold/flu for most people (I have seen delta eff people up so it's good that variant is almost disappeared).

I think some people have become addicted to authoritarianism over the last two years, they have come to want the state to order them how to live their lives and seem to resent freedom of choice. The expansion of state power has also been unprecedented with some "liberal" countries seeming to think that being more like the CCP is good.

Vaccination and natural immunity are the way to deal with Omicron, not lockdowns or other authoritarian measures.

 

Next question.

I found out that AKB48 Battle Festival is also available on PC, through DMM game service.
It may require some tricks from oversea though.

Soooooooo... Since right after the concerts (cough!) a certain group of members have been practicing for something. People are saying it's for the 59th.

 

But what's Ayanan taking lessons for?

 

It's a bikini single.

Spoiler

In her case it's probably for Renacchi's graduation stage.

 

FINALLY

Spoiler

Ah right. All the other mentions of lessons in my mobame inbox are from senbatsu suspects, though some are also in Renacchi's graduation stage.

Oh, and Seichan, but pretty sure those lessons are related to the Sport Climbing thing.

 

Spoiler

And it seems to be heavy on dancing like Rumor. A few of them could be just unders.

 

I'm not too sure if it's that (although I do wish). Komiyama Haruka has also been speaking of lessons, but she mentioned they were lessons for the "Fushigi no Hina Matsuri" musical or the Sensuality stage. That includes Renacchi, Ayanan, Mogi, Myao, Hidaaya and ofc Komiharu herself.

Kobayashi Ran has mentioned lessons and though she hasn't specifically stated what they're for, two days ago she also mentioned that she received the script for the Iwakakeru musical. She also mentioned practising together with Mogi Shinobu.

Neither Komi, Ran nor Mogi have been senbatsu any time recently; in fact, only Komi has ever been senbatsu and last time was for Teacher Teacher in 2018. So probably not very likely, although of course as a fan I'd like to see her enter senbatsu again.

I only receive mail from these two, and Honda Hitomi. I'm very certain Hii will be part of the next single senbatsu line-up, but she hasn't mentioned any rehearsals lately. Most of her mails are about her most recent appearance on the variety show "Love It!!"

 

Some graduation ceremonies will be held in the upcoming days

I forgot to mention it before, but some of the lessons are for this TV show.

The question is: is it a new song?

Takita Kayoko's graduation performance has also been scheduled, for 2/26. The participating members have yet to be announced.

AKB48 Mail, AKB48 Mobile and 755 will stop on 2/27 at 10pm JST. If you want to send fan mail, you have until 3/31. She will continue using her instagram, twitter and tiktok.

It appears that some of the lessons are for a replacement of the concerts.
