[GENERAL] The AKB48 Thread

As you were aware, Tenkaichi HADO-kai will continue but now with a new name: AKB48 Chou Tenkaichi HADO-kai (AKB48 Super Tenkaichi HADO-kai).

But instead of being a confrontation between teams they will defend the colours of their generations.

Team 10nen Zakura: Generations 3, 12, 13 and 15
Team Koko ga Rhodes da, Koko de Tobe!: Drafts 1, 2 and 3 plus Chiyori and Macharin
Team Sayonara Janai: Team 8
Team Dakitsukouka: 16th Generation
Team Wonderful Love: 17th Generation

18ki replaces 17ki as the filler girls.

It begins on 06/20 with these members.

Team 10nen Zakura: Taniguchi Megu, Mukaichi Mion, Yumoto Ami
Team Koko ga Rhodes da, Koko de Tobe!: Omori Maho, Saito Haruna, Nakanishi Chiyori
Team Sayonara Janai: Sakaguchi Nagisa, Tokunaga Remi, Okuhara Hinako
Team Wonderful Love: Sato Airi, Hashimoto Eriko, Masai Mayuu
18th Generation: Akiyama Yuna, Kudo Kasumi, Narita Kohina

It doesn't look good for Sayonara Janai...

Now you know what to do with Stage48's sub-forums.

 

Maybe you've forgot:
18th generation: Akiyama Yuna, Kudo Kasumi, Narita Kohina

Yes, 16ki as a team finally.

 

I am speechless

 

Those were added later. The original post didn't even have colours.

Pikapikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

I think Team Sayonara Janakatta would fit better as the name of this team

 

That's not good, is it?

5. Shibuya Nagisa
13. Honda Hitomi
16. Yabuki Nako
18. Okada Nana

Team Captains will have a livestream together on June 5 from 22.00 JST
Celebrating the ticket sale start, what to look forward to in each Team Concert, memories of the current teams, and also they will reveal the Sub-Title of each Team Concert, as well as the reason for those.
Will be livestreamed on AKB48 Official Showroom channel : https://www.showroom-live.com/akb48_official

 

Every 48G member (or former member) on the chart either increase her ranking or remained steady. I'd say that's good? Of course I don't know who fell off, if anyone.

 

In Majisuka Gakuen, is the Gekioko school uniform actually white, or is it only the nursing dept ?

 

Personal feedback after 1 month or so since AKB48 arrived on Weverse

I have mixed feelings for now.
It's surely a great tool for fans and especially for those from oversea, it's translating feature is really usefull (assuming it's accurate)
There are tons of contents from the fans, lots of comments. K-pop influence really shows, with people asking how AKb484 works all the time, and without surprise Hitomi being the most talked about.
Just some are not afraid to post all and anything, not bothered to post not so legal contents (found a full performance from youtube), or are not afraid to ask where to find english subtittles
/conspiracy theory: the management use those to hunt unauthorized.

There has to deal from time to time with whoever who just comes in to only advertise it's favorite artist community. It's not too much spammy though ,the moderating seems to work fast when needed.

Just after 1 month, it's still the senbatsu members only wo can post, and I can't say the girls are exactly active to send messages. Most so far only posted their mandatory welcome message, and they as a whole don't even post 1 message per day. Even Hitomi doesn't post that much. I have the feeling they all use their social medias they are used to more.
(As if today it's the management who posted the most messages, in less than a week)
A drawback of a service which overlaps a lot whith everything that allready exists though.

The management uses it too (see above), but no anouncements were made there so far. all the latest one arrived on the official site / other sns.

The media section is messy at best.
Only the songs from Doushitemo are sorted. and all the other are in the same section, it's like a pile quicly stored a drawer that will be forgoten in a corner.

So for now, it's like another fan place to talk, but more limited (than here), not exactly a game changer. That may change, can't say at the moment.

No idea about the DM feature since I don't use it.

A good tool for fan interaction, so you can go for it. but nothing essential.

So far DMs are like less frequent and less flexible mobame. The app won't let you copy text or screenshot so if you can't read the text you're reliant on the internal translations which currently don't work for me (probably because of how I turned off the auto-translate "feature") and weren't that good to begin with. You can technically reply back and the app will tell you if they've "read" your comment, but most members already have a way for you to reply to their mobame, e.g. via 755 comments or a Twitter hashtag, and they'll occasionally respond to or at least acknowledge those. The price is pretty reasonable and the messages and pics I've received so far are unique so I still consider subscribing worth it as a show of support for specific members, but mobame is and I expect will remain the better deal.

I haven't really engaged with the fan section, there are much better platforms.

 

Dates and times of the final team concerts.

One captain won't show up to her own team's disbandment concert. It just shows how much this was all planned.

 

Don't worry, Naamin and Satomina still appear only from half of the concert. So that why they change the start time 1h later from planned.

Schedule my ass!

 

There'll be a 15th Gen 10th Anniversary livestream tomorrow (6/6) at 22:00 JST and 'there might even be a big announcement':
https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12806279079.html

YouTube link:

EDIT: video privated although that may be temporary, in the meantime there's this (credit to uploader):




(My guess is that there *will* be a big announcement and with my top 2 oshis both appearing in it I'm understandably rather worried about one of them dropping a G-bomb. )

 

That is DH's motto after all.

Spoiler

All according to kekaku.

So uh, remind me, what was happening in the evening on the 6th? Did they announce that already?

 

Yes, 17ki KKS Live concert!

The ticket sales are underway, but still exclusive for 17kenkyuujo subscribers, will be open for public on 3rd sales:

EDIT: seems like there was a change for price, it's 9800 yen for Kameko (Camera OK) seats on 2nd floor.
https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12805341444.html

 

Its same weekend as Tokyo Idol Festival 2023

It would be a good time to travel except Tokyo in August is unbearable even for Japanese people

Team K concert Title: …to be continued
is manaka even trying?

 

Seems like not only Naamin was mistreated, Hiichan also didn't inform about her absence at Final Team concert.
https://twitter.com/hnd_htm__1006/status/1665823930777767936
Also RinRin and Ayanan. About Naamin's story, see her thread.
Idk what's going on with AKB48 management. Final Team Concert is an important event, isn't it? Hiichan is the current center, Berin was Team A captain, Ayanan has been in the group for more than 10 years with the team system and Naamin is the current captain, everyone is needed (and have right) to appear in the concert, why can they said a member are not needed.
