The AKB48 Group Thread

[JessicaRabbit123]

I think for this year I would like Naachan to win! But first I want to see the performances. But Naachan did very well in the past 2 years in the competition. For past winners, even though Kano is a very nice singer, but her voice is personally not my type so I didn't enjoy her performances very much, however she deserved to win though. For Moeka, she was my favorite voice, sadly she graduated. I love her lives from the competitions, when she performed "Mikazuki", "Kawaranai Mono" and "Hitomi". also "Everything" and "Nandemonaiya". I hope this year's competition will make me love more voices in 48G!

@Some Thank you for the coins, it's so nice

I feel like STU is going to surprise us this year. They've been on a roll and I honestly think they have the skills to be one of the best performing 48 groups. IDK how many SKE and NMB girls will rank; they have the energy and the moves (cough best groups in the entire 48 franchise cough cough) but I can't name more than like 4 girls from the each group that have the vocal prowess, but i'm hoping to see some hidden gems rank up.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!




I'm really curious as to how this MV will be. I figured they wouldn't be as overly sexual as the OG version but I really wasn't expecting school girls in the meadow It'll be Jane centered ala 2nd elections.

BNK's Heavy Rotation video reminds me of Kaze wa Fuiteru haha I didn't expect this kind of MV for a happy song, it's interesting!


I saw that AKB's channel posted a short video of Renacchi's birthday celebration theater stage that happened on 10th July. I thought the limit of members in theater is maximum 2 but here I see 6 people? There's Renacchi, Miion, Mogi, Chiyori, Kururun, and the last one I hesitated at first about who she is, but she looks like graduated member Nattsun who's also a close friend of Renacchi, and it turns out that it's her indeed! I went to her Twitter and she posted photos of her at theater with Renacchi here! it's nice that she came back to perform at theater for her friend's birthday, I like their friendship!

most of those 70k are either nishigata marina,kato minami, homma hinata fans and a few ogino yuka & nakai rika fans. the rest are new gen fans the "good" 1st gen no where to be seen so are their fans , for the good/ish girls they either graduated or just starting to get popular like this nara miharu girl who is popular in fan voted events and is seen in recent magazines she was in team NIII but i never heard of hear name i dont think she was friend with the bad girls i think shes one of those who didnt know what to do and just stood and watched because she wasnt friendly with mahos crew but i dont think they were in a bad realtionship either. Anywho point is stupid people still exist so shitty girls are still here.

Nara Miharu is so pretty but so damn underused



She lowkey looks like Sasshi in this

 

[Yun]

Who do you guys think will win this year? Who would you like to see make the top 10?

I absolutely adore Kano and would love to see her hold down her place at #1. I think AKB Myao should be able to rank into the top 20 for sure this time. She's so overlooked.

Either the NMB girl (Amiru) or the NGT48 KKS ..... as if they're not gonna rigged it again lol

I just watched this and it's hilarious haha, I miss these times and I miss AKBINGO!
Paruru is just too funny, there's only her to be able to say these things in a skit lol

I guess the limit for theater stages is really not 2 members lol they probably increased the limit to 5-6 now. Today the unit IxR performed at theater, it's a 5 members unit with Yuiyui, Zukkii, Rei, Satopii and Mahopyon. The stage they performed is called IxR 1st Stage "IxR ni Aeru☆", they're cute and I think these members really have "idol aura" when they perform, although I'm not a fan of their voices judging from live performances... it's not too bad though they are still enjoyable to watch and they perform well, but if they improve their voices a little then they'll be really good.

Spoiler

One of the songs in their stage is Juuryoku Sympathy, I love this song!

the calculation: 1st place=5 points, 2nd place=3 points and 3rd place=1 points.


I put the 48G names in bold! I'm so happy that Mayuyu ranked first, even though it's just a Bunshun Online survey (and I'm not a fan of Bunshun considering what they do but anyway) I don't know if Mayuyu saw this or if it made the news a lot, but I hope that she saw it and that she knows a lot of people loved her as idol... The other 48G girls who ranked are all amazing too! if you see the whole top 20, there are less 48 than 46 but if you look at the top 7, 5 of them are 48G, including the 4 who won elections + Sayanee who is extremely popular too. I'm happy that people still remember and love past 48G members!

Has anyone else seen the nonsense between SKE vs. Twice, the Korean group? So many hate comments directed at SKE in all kinds of languages because they were sneak dissing????
