[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

I listened to the Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu song, but I'm failing to see how it's similar at all. It's a good song, so I appreciate the recommendation, but I don't understand the comparison. How does that song make you think a higher key would've worked better on Hisalip?

 

Don't try to understand. He's arguing a song can't be good without high notes.

 

In therms of music I think they need trap elements or at least EDM for Tik tok.

Any news of a new Majisuka series ? It's been quite a while . Not that hard to make a new one.

 

Hmmph. Both song are mid-tempo bubblegum pop song with "old school" music arrangement.

Scientifically, high pitched voice relates to youthfulness. You don't expect a primary school kid to have deep low voice, right? Often times, lower keys of voices are purposedly used to set a more "mature" tone for a song and vice versa.

Also, high pitched voice better draw one's attention. There is a reason why the baby of any species of animals has squeaky voice. Rockers often use high pitched voice to highlight some parts of the song and intensify the overall mood of the song.

So, definitely, a song sounds "girlier" and tends to be catchier with higher-pitched voice.

I'm not really sure what should have been done with hisalippu. The music is typical bubble gum pop but the lyric is kind of sentimental/mature, portraying a girl in her 20's reminiscing her teenage self. Aki-p loves it conflicting tone. The lower voice should fit the lyric better but not the music. Perhaps, Aki-p conflicting tone is another problem. It's hard to form a certain strong feeling to the song thus, possibly milder emotional impact. A farewell song with mellow music must sound gloomier, right?

Is it that easy?

Firstly, Vernal will need to appease Aki-p to plot the script of the drama. We don't know how good their relationship is at the moment. Also, we don't know if Aki-p has the time for a cheap drama with dozens projects going on.

Once they get the plot, they will need playwright to develop the plot into actual proper script then, the producer and director.

They then will need the fund. A cheap drama may easily cost over $500k and, there will be more cost for the broadcasting time slot. The budget may be mostly levied onto sponsors but, Vernal will need a marketing/sale team to look out for the sponsor.

After the project has been fully funded, 2 dozens or more of staffers must be recruited. It is definitely not easy to find all related persons to do the job, from lighting technicians to food caterer.

Vernal also need to arrange the schedule for every actors. To co-ordinate everyone's schedules already sounds brain-aching.

Drama production is such a costly and complicated work.

 

AFAIK, Vernalossom has nothing to do with AKB48.

From my understanding, AKS was split into multiple smaller companies, of which DH and Vernalossom are on equal level (more like sister companies rather than mother-daughter), whereas DH is responsible for AKB, and Vernalossom just for the ties of INTL48. Otherwise it makes no sense for Hitomi to be officially transferred to DH and cut ties with Vernalossom if Vernalossom is the mother company.

That being said, I'm also not sure why we need Aki-p necessarily to write the plot? AKB48 had another drama earlier this, AKB48 no Uta, and there was no mention of Akimoto, so I'm inclined to believe he didn't write it. Two of the episodes was based on the plot of one of the members even.

Whereas I don't agree that it is definitely gonna be easy, but neither Vernalossom nor Aki-p are necessarily needed for another drama.

 

There's a difference between doing another AKB48 drama, and doing another iteration of Maji(suka|muri) Gakuen. Pretty sure Aki-P has written the plot for all of those.

Spoiler

Which is to say, please, PLEASE let someone else write the next one.

So about the following

@bonjourmarlene can highly consider this as not even a supposed vague information but an entirerly invented one like the above.

It's too easy to try to hide fake news behind rumors aftermaths.

 

Just additional info, if it isn't clear by the member list, they'll be performing Moto Kare desu.
It's been a while since they performed that, I'm pretty excited to see it!
Also Aichan is something like super under for senbatsu member now? Reminds me of Moeno.

 

Saying Vernal has nothing to do with AKB is the same is saying Yoshimoto doesn't own NMB, which is completely non sense. DH is fully owned by Vernal. Also, likely, Vernal holds the wallet.

Aki-p started this Majisuka series. Not including him is rude. Besides, he is a big name as playwright, it will be easier to raise fund and book TV time slot with his name.

 

[citation needed]

Then he should have written better scripts.

 

It's a man's view. Do you really read the lyrics?

 

From a biologist / scientific view, this is a wobbly reasoning. Small / underdevelopped vocal chords produce squeaky sounds.

OK, you don't like Vernalossom, nor what they are doing (be reassured you aren't alone), but just like the known staff and the members, the company without whom you wouldn't venture into this place also desserve some respect.
It has a full name, using a reductive moniker is rude.

I'm not gonna pretend I know all the intricacies of a Majisuka/Majimura/Cabasuka drama, but to me, it is 'another AKB48 drama'. Personally, I don't think we necessarily need another rendition or continuation of that, but I would just enjoy a drama in general. It would also be good exposure for some girls.

Previous gens have produced some actresses, and I think it would've been tricky for them to get their foot out there without some training through AKB48 dramas.

It would be the same if Showtitle weren't a daughter company of Yoshimoto. If you paid attention to my previous comment, that is exactly what I pointed out.

 

A new member for SURREAL, RERRY, and it's your wallet that will decide who she is.

So SURRY + REMI become RERRY, so funny

 

I wonder if these things are actually AKB48 creating a vtuber subunit. Trying to rival Hololive & Vshoujo
