Kuumin was also one of my favourite SKE48 members, the 48's seem to be bleeding members recently

But on a lighter note JKT48 have done their version of "Gomen ne summer" for the new Pocari Sweat
advert.
When I told a load of Indonesian guys that "Gomen ne Summer" is one of my favourite SKE48
songs they said oh no, it is JKT48's song !!!

I can tell you how this Acchan kami oshiman still feels [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

^ I ran into something similar on the YouTube comment section in an AKB48 - Heavy Rotation live video. There were arguments that Heavy Rotation was originally a JKT48 song and that AKB48 copied them. lol


I went to go watch Wreck-It-Ralph yesterday night, and it was pretty good. A snippet of "Sugar Rush" by AKB48 was played twice in the movie and then once during the credits, but they cut out the guitar solo.




Because of that movie, I got my friend into AKB48 hehehe.

Me and my brother threw a halloween party at November 2 and while waiting for the guests I was browsing through the internet and came across these news (about Yagami's graduation). I'm glad I was at a party, because otherwise I would have had to hit the booze alone.

This sucks, I really liked Kumi. Yet another one of the "old braves" leaves the limelight. Even though my oshimen Yuria is 3rd gen, and I now like alot of newer members like Milky, Tano Yuka, Ranran etc, there is something special about the members that lived through some of AKB's history. That got to experience different types of stages in AKB popularity. They learned to be humble in a different way. And when they all are gone is when my passion for the group will die out. Most likely not completely, I will still like em and all that. But the spark will most definetly be lost. In fact it got slightly damaged when Maeda left.

A toast for Yagami Kumi and her years at our mercy! I wish her a very good luck in her future projects!

^yes! A toast for Kuumin!

My NMB48 cd just got shipped out! Now comes the wait....
I've been listening to Ponytail to Shushu a lot lately.

@Shark
Yes I agree, all the 48's have been bleeding members recently and it really upsets me, I was also a huge Kuumin fan even though AKB are my favourite 48.
But remember they were all new girls once and it it important to give the new girls a chance, Akimoto tries hard to show off the new girls for that reason.

I still miss Acchan like a leg !

@Yoshinator54
"Ponytail to Shushu" has always been one of my favourites and not just because they are in bikini's ( although that helps of course )
They just look so happy and having a good time on that beautiful beach in Guam while I am in cold, wet England.

I also think NMB are getting better all the time, I adore my oshi Milky.

you guys are still lucky . . .

i get my 2 oshimen graduate consecutively . . . 48 oshi Acchan and SKE48 oshi , Kuumin . . .
still 2 oshimen to support to . . . AKB48 Watanabe Mayu and HKT48 Natsumi Matsuoka . . .


oh yeah , and about the 'Gomen ne , Summer' thing just let it be . . . many of indonesian fans here are new fans to 48 family so they don't know a thing . . . .hail.
well , it's so many disturbed me and older fans cause they all (the new fans) is like 'they-know-all' and didn't get the info first . . .

Yes, it's very true. And I do like the newer members, and in a few years they won't be new anymore. But there is just something about the members that were there at the beginning/early stages.

Kuumin's graduation announcement at 16:57 in the video followed by a performance of "Kiss Datte Hidarikiki" (a little bit before Kuumin's speech is the announcement of the SKE48 theatre at Sunshine Sakae.

I know she hasn't graduated yet, but I miss her already. .waaa.

I finally got my NMB48 cd today! yay! first CD from the 48 family. I got a Nanachan trading card and a photo of Milky.

this is kinda off topic... Wow Spice Girls is still in the number one spot ahahahaha even after
many years have passed still no one beats them. I'm a big fan of them btw.

The portraits of all the members, except for Sae Miyazawa, and Maria Suzuki, of SNH48 are up on their website

Yes I noticed that, I used to have enough trouble remembering Japanese names !
But it is sad that girls all over the world are starting to look the same.
Those girls do not look very Chinese to me.

Here is AKB48's new single "Eien Pressure" performed by the 16 winners of the 3rd
janken tournament.
The winner Haruka Shimazaki takes centre stage and is being promoted as the 'new'
Acchan, but first they have to convince me !

omg totally agree that zhang xin fang look mayu

wow, those two really do look like mayu and sayaka.
i wonder if this was on purpose (i hope not).
.hmmm.

i thought that too; they look like another japanese 48 group. (not that i'm some credible source on what a chinese girl looks like, i just don't get a chinese vibe from any of them.)


and as for eien pressure, it's nothing special. i completely forgot that i was listening to it until i heard the applause of the audience. really disappointing.

I liked "Eien Pressure," but I feel like it doesn't stand out like the rest of the other singles, it's almost like a regular coupling song...but then again, it was a Janken senbatsu song. Nevertheless it's nice to see some faces you don't often see in the forefront.
Also, in the video, Yuko is taking Kanon's (SKE48) place. Apparently there's something about an age restriction and broadcasting on TV. Kanon is only 13 years old.

nope , she doesn't resemblance mayuyu at all . . . Mayu is special specimen . . .

woah! I remember watching this episode when I was around 5 or 6 years old. I didn't know Korisu (Yuko Oshima) was in it though!!!

@yoshinator54

Awww, what a great find !
Even then she was cute and probably not drinking so much...hehe

Wow. Nice to see an AKB48 thread here in SH.
I'm actually also a fan of AKB48.
