Q12: Favorite Overall Single Release of the Year?
Sansei Kawaii

Took out the members questions. I follow the music closely but I don't know all the members so it's not really fair to vote for any of them

 

WE CAN FIX THAT! Welcome to the dark side, Silenka!

 

Oh, yoroshiku I'll be trying to learn more about SKE from now on.

 

Oooh, new angle to my make-Silenka-a-mod campaign. We seem to operate in some sort of lawless deadzone where no mods dare to enter. AKB has HRP, NMB has Smilodon, HKT has ithebigc, SKE has NO ONE! So yes, yoroshiku onegai shimasu~

 

Shh, you're gonna make it look like I have a political agenda!

SKE forum isn't that lawless really, is it? Or are you all just so well-behaved...

 

That's really it. We're just all quietly sitting in our little corner, gracefully processing our daily graduation announcements while NMB gossips about their latest non-scandal, HKT fights yet again over who their center is, and AKB rages against management. [angel]

 

Q1: Favorite B-side from Choco no Dorei?
Answer:
Sore wo Seishun to Yobu Hi (Tabidachi Sotsugyo-gumi).

Q2: Favorite PV from Choco no Dorei?
Answer:
Well since the above song I mentioned was the only one I liked in the whole single, I'll just mention it again, even though I didn't pay much attention to the PV - Sore wo Seishun to Yobu Hi (Tabidachi Sotsugyo-gumi).

Q3: Favorite B-side from Utsukushii Inazuma?
Answer:
Jyuri-Jyuri Baby (Team S), lately I've been loving these dance music types. Why wasn't Through the Night one of the choices too? I like it (Jyuri-Jyuri Baby is still my fave though).

Q4: Favorite PV from Utsukushii Inazuma?
Answer:
Futari Dake no Parade (Team KII), I don't really like the music, but I loved the PV, we can actually see all the member's faces and it has a nice background.

Q5: Favorite B-side from Sanseii Kawaii?
Answer:
Koko de Ippatsu (Da~su & Tsu~ma), it was like love at first hearing (or listening, whichever sounds better ) xD

Q6: Favorite PV from Sanseii Kawaii?
Answer:
Possibly Sanseii Kawaii, such a cheerful song and the girls are having so much fun... it's lovely

Q7: Favorite 6th gen kenkyuusei?
Answer:
Huh? Wait, shouldn't Azuma Rion be there too? S48 wiki says she's a 6th gen too [worried] Please, do correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, to be fair, I only know 2 KKS: Azuma Rion and Kitagawa Ryoha. From these 2, my fave is Azuma Rion, she has a great voice, she's talented and she's cute

Q8: Who is your SKE MVP of 2013?
Answer:
The year of 2013 was a turning point for me. It was also the first year when I really began following sister groups, SKE included. I already knew/was interested in some members from before --> Matsui Jurina, Takayanagi Akane & Yagami Kumi <--, but since it's 2013 we're talking about, I'll stick to the girls that I noticed this last year.
That said, I can't decide between two of them: 2013 was the year where I got my first symptoms of biasedness towards an SKE member, Matsui Rena (her dorky personality and those eyes... omg those big dark and mysterious eyes....), but also the girl that basically went from zero to one of my favorites in the whole group, Shibata Aya. She's so..... everything! OMG I love that girl and hands up to her, she was UG center

Q9: Favorite A-side of the Year Overall?
Answer:
Sanseii Kawaii ofc, I really love this song! :music: "kimi wo ichiban / suki nanda"

Q10: Favorite B-side of the Year Overall?
Answer:
Hmmm, probably Jyuri-Jyuri Baby (Team S).

Q11: Favorite PV of the Year Overall?
Answer:
Overall, it might just be Utsukushii Inazuma lol.

Q12: Favorite Overall Single Release of the Year?
Answer:
Sansei Kawaii

 

Thats because Rion isn't a KKS and was already a regular member in Team E when this thread was created

 

Sansei Kawaii got me hooked onto SKE Got me so hooked that this was my first SKE48 single I've bought. Out of all the Japanese based 48 groups and Nogizaka46, I got the SKE single last (the order is AKB, NMB, HKT / Nogizaka46, SKE).

What really got me hooked was SKE Ebi no Friday Night. That show was amazing, which was around the time Sansei Kawaii came out. After seeing some of the personalities in greater detail, like the outrageous Churi or the really proper and kind Masana, if I'm not already there yet I'm really close to naming them my favorite over AKB, plus Sansei Kawaii are the type of songs I want to hear from J-Pop idol groups. My overall 48 oshi is Annin, followed by Marina, and Yukirin is my kami-oshi since she's the one that got me into all this, but Masana, Yuuko, and Anna are my definite top 3 SKE's (at least for the moment).

Kind of also made realize that I should've paid more attention earlier, especially with Manatsu and Seira graduating

The single was great of course, but what makes this stand out for me compared to the others is that this single made me an "official" fan of SKE

 

That's awesome! SK had my vote for best single of the year, so I like your taste. Welcome to SKE fandom!

 

I can't believe I never did this!

Q1: Favorite B-side from Choco no Dorei?
Answer: Darkness, of course!

Q2: Favorite PV from Choco no Dorei?
Answer: Darkness!!

Q3: Favorite B-side from Utsukushii Inazuma?

Q4: Favorite PV from Utsukushii Inazuma?
Answer: Futari Dake no Parade. Simple, but beautiful

Q5: Favorite B-side from Sanseii Kawaii?
Answer: Koko de Ippatsu. A brilliant combination

Q6: Favorite PV from Sanseii Kawaii?
Answer: Koko de Ippatsu. It was so charming and cute!

Q7: Favorite 6th gen kenkyuusei?
Answer: Hidaka Yuzuki. She's my oshimen and my #1 in all of the 48/46 groups. Y'all probably know I'm a huge fan of hers!
Why? Its hard to put it into words. Yuzuki is dorky, charming, and sweet. She is laid-back and a bit of a baka, but she has a heart of gold.She blogs about things like going to Costco or eating meat. She's silly around the senpais that she has become close with and isn't afraid to look dumb. She's just such a genuinely fun and goofy girl that its hard not to like her. Plus, she has an adorable laughing face!
Yuzuki is definitely the type of girl I'd want to be friends with.

Q8: Who is your SKE MVP of 2013?
Answer: Suda Akari. She's had a tremendous year and has been working extremely hard.

Q9: Favorite A-side of the Year Overall?
Answer: Choco no Dorei or Sansei Kawaii. It took me a while to warm up to Sansei, but now its become a favorite.

Q10: Favorite B-side of the Year Overall?
Answer: Darkness. That PV!

Q11: Favorite PV of the Year Overall?
Answer: Darkness, lol. Though Futari Dake no Parade was charmingly simple.

Q12: Favorite Overall Single Release of the Year?
(same as the poll, just tell us what you voted for)
Answer: Choco no Dorei

 

Q1: Favorite B-side from Choco no Dorei?
Darkness. But lately I'm more into Bike to Sidecar.

Q2: Favorite PV from Choco no Dorei?
Choco no Dorei.

Q3: Favorite B-side from Utsukushii Inazuma?
JYURI-JYURI BABY. But lately I'm more into Shalala na Calendar lol.

Q4: Favorite PV from Utsukushii Inazuma?
Shalala na Calendar.. or JYURI-JYURI BABY, if I consider only the music part.

Q5: Favorite B-side from Sanseii Kawaii?
Michi wa Naze Tsuzuku no ka?. I love love love this song~

Q6: Favorite PV from Sanseii Kawaii?
Sansei Kawaii! of course. That's so great, so ske-ish.. I can't even think in choose another one.

Q7: Favorite 6th gen kenkyuusei?
Azuma Rion.

Q8: Who is your SKE MVP of 2013?
Matsui Jurina & Matsui Rena. To tell the truth I was not really into these two before, but last year they both finally caught my attention. They're still far to be my favorite ske members, kinda of unstable in my preferences, but I guess it's fair to me choose them this time considering this aspect and the whole last year period.

Q9: Favorite A-side of the Year Overall?
Choco no Dorei. If I give a deep thought, I think it's my favorite from all singles so far.

Q10: Favorite B-side of the Year Overall?
Michi wa Naze Tsuzuku no ka? I guess. Because it's one of those songs that I never get tired in listening.

Q11: Favorite PV of the Year Overall?
Choco no Dorei, without a doubt.

Q12: Favorite Overall Single Release of the Year?
(same as the poll, just tell us what you voted for)
Sansei Kawaii!. Hmm what I can say to elaborate more.. The a-side pv was top quality and the b-side pvs were relatively good overall. Well, there aren't smartphones floating around or girls staying in line waiting to someone drink them in a cold night, so just this fact always got points to me lol. It was a perfect package in terms of songs and this aspect always comes first to me, so yea.

 

Your passion for Darkness and Yuzuki just warms my heart.

Thanks for all the responses, everyone! It was a pretty close race but Utsukushii Inazuma seems to be the victor!
