I like the covers for STU's new single, they look simple and pretty! I watched their MV for Omoidaseru Koi wo Shiyou and I like it, the video is beautiful with very nice locations and fresh colors. The song is pretty good too! Yumirin is looking more mature than usual somehow, she looks pretty and classy.


AKB's channel uploaded a very short video from IxR's stage at theater on July:




I think management has plans to push this unit to be the new representatives of AKB. I like the idea but first it would be great if AKB had more releases by year. They could even use AKB releases to push these members as centers one after the other and then give them unit songs on b-side or maybe unit single? They can try to do that to make them more known by non-fans. Maybe it could work! But yes first AKB really needs more singles.

Unexpected results outside of the top 2

I guess you could say Namba is rising. Idk who she is but I want her as center for the name.

100 slots????
Maybe they're different than the usual handshake slots, if it's held online?

Has anyone here watched the BNK48 documentary "One Take" on Netflix?? It's my second 48 documentary (the other being the first BNK doc that's also on Netflix) and it was low-key kinda sad. I felt so bad for Cherprang when she said she didn't think anyone in the group liked her and she tearfully asked if anyone was happy for her after her first Senbatsu win.

i wouldn't ever imagined she would grad during this pandemic, her grad will probabily happen next year.
this will also make Shiroma the last 1st gen of nmb.

Which always = 's more pressure i hope that dosen't affect her though

She said she'd thought for a while that it'd make sense to graduate (or announce grad) around the time of the 10th anniversary but that covid-19 made her unsure. Idk when the actual grad performance will happen, but her translated speech is in the thread I posted.

Akarin is the first of the current NMB pillars to leave. Within a couple years Saeppi, Nagisa and Miru will most likely also have left. But by then Umeyamamoto and the other young members will be ready to lead the group.

Miru is now the only first-gen member from AKB, SKE and NMB that hasn't announced graduation... But HKT still has several left.

Speaking of this jurina's concert is getting closer, i wonder if it's gonna get postponed since there is no news no churi's gradcon which was supposed to happen this march in yokohama arena ( also churi's fellow team KII's memeber kataoka narumi's grad was postponed from april and she isnt scheduled for a concert most likely a theater grad ) and jurina's is in a hall considering the large amount of her fans and celebrity aquaintances compared to the small space its probably getting postponed too ( its supposed to be in 26/9 & 27/9 ) .

Yeah I think so too. There are a lot of graduations in the 48G that have been postponed already. But it depends, if they don't expect to be able to perform live in the next 12 months, then they will probably have online graduation concerts. It'd be sad, Miichan, Jurina and Akarin all deserve grand send-offs. Nogi's Maiyan too.

yeah for 48G everyday someone is leaving and maiyan is just too powerful, miichan no matter what others say shes still a legend but personally i think its a big venue and it was supposed to be 2 days with correct measures i can see it happening in the future. Churi's was supposed to be a one day on 3/15

I would rather have a concert with fewer people then have a online concert BUT online concerts could potentially have more viewers, and if they could monetarize that it could be great for their pockets.

Ideally they could do both! Have a concert with limited attendance and also broadcast it.

BII song isn't very impressive but the mv is cute. The Lapis Arch MV is much more polished.
