    1. TV shows - this is the best part for me as this is where i get to know more about the girls like how they react to things and such. (my faves are shows like nemousu, shukan. xx)
    2. Photoshoots/magazines - i picked this because i assume this category encompasses gravure DVD's
    3. Theatre shows - this is my third pick only because of the fact that if its Reinyan's birthday, there will be an LOD show where she would get to hog the camera even in the presence of higher ranked members. :awesome:
    4. Singles
    5. Concerts
    5. Behind the Scene Videos

    This was a hard choice, since I'm overseas and can't regularly participate in most of these choices, but it's these fan-interaction events (concerts, handshakes) that are some of the most interesting stuff about AKB for me.

    1. TV shows like AKBINGO! since that's when I got hooked on the group, their interesting personalities and hilarious reactions drives the point that AKB48 is not just loli girls in bikinis, as some would believe after watching one of their more popular MVs.

    2. Singles, it can't be helped. Their singles are catchy and versatile, expanding on a whole bunch of emotions. The musical composition is always top-notch and the song itself brings that idol like aura of happiness and life's whims from pondering on bullying and its social reflections to thinking of the girl with the ponytail.

    3. Stages are always under-appreciated in the mass media, but they really highlight its members during the unit songs and show great variety in theme and music composition. And like singles, they can be either provocative (Kuchi Utsushi no Chocolate) or catchy (Tonari no Banana).

    4. Concerts, each one seems unique but still has that exciting AKB quality to it. It also gives more exposure to the B-sides and songs from albums, and of course AKB48 awesome stages.

    5. Handshake events, they're such a novel idea and the volume of the event is staggering... people waiting hours in line and then starting again from the back until they've used up all their tickets (collected after buying the same thing over and over again). And I admit, I love to read and find horror/dramatic/funny stories from handshake events.
    Something so simple as a 2.5 sec handshake can cause such ridiculous behavior in some of its attendees.

    For me theatre shows are by far the most interesting part of AKB48. In my opinion their stages songs are far superior compared to the singles. Furthermore for me (although I'm a very new fan) the theatre is what ultimately sets them apart from other idol groups and watching stages also helped me getting familiar with non front girls.

    The most interesting and the one that I would really love to watch is the theater. Though due to overseas problem, I guess single is what I'm always into until nowadays :lol: Almost every recent single of AKB has never dissapointed me. Moreover the thing that makes me more interested is usually the seifuku they wear in their dance :awesome:

    The next one would be TV show. AKBingo, SKE no magical, shukan, etc. It's always funny to see our lovely idol "out of their performance" but are still on the watch of camera [hehe]

    TV shows, singles, sub-units, and stage songs are definitely my favorite parts. If I had to pick, I would pick TV shows since I like seeing the members' personalities and I am always amused by them. I don't really care about the rest of the stuff that much honestly.

    This was hard! I put singles, just because I get so excited when a new one comes out, and they come out far more often than new theater shows.

    My top three would be this, though...the order isn't super strict:

    -Singles
    -Theater Shows
    -Concerts

    I love the music and I love to see it performed live! :inlove:

    I love both the concerts and variety programs equally so I didn't know which to choose but I thought how the members shine on stage so I chose concerts ;)

    I haven't had the opportunity to attend a stage show, yet, but I I think theater shows are by far the most interesting part of AKB from watching the stages online.
