But if I'm getting what you're saying, you're saying that since MOST PEOPLE wouldn't differentiate between groups, then there's no point for anyone to do so? That's sort of like saying all Hispanics/Latinos have the same culture because they're all Hispanics/Latinos, and we don't need to differentia...

The only database out there is Studio48 . Also, the Lyrics thread at Stage48, and the threads for (recent) individual stages @ Nihongogo (well, OK, only K5 & K6 so far, cause I'm biased & management screwed up the lyrics for B5 when they posted them -- no romaji there cause Studio48 always g...

[quote name='TnB' post='76457' date='Feb 28 2010, 04:54 PM']The AKB thing I was referring to was a DVD someone showed me a while back. There was a scene where the girl "accidentally" spilled white toothpaste all over her boobs. Later, she was sucking on a popsicle held by someone off camer...

Speaking of, tracklist & title for the album came out today: Title: Kamikyoku-tachi (Something like, "Our Favorite Songs"; "Kamikyoku" literally means "God(ly) Songs", but it's also used as part of some wota jargon to basically mean "Favorite") *Bold denot...

The first Set List was basically a best-of/single collection from 06-07 (since AKB's real albums are the studio recordings of the stages). Given the difficulties they're having with DefStar and the fact that this will probably be another single collection (since it's getting a mainstream release, un...

Joel pretty much has it right. No matter how deep, swift, dark and scary that river is, they're telling you to suck it up and keep moving so you can get to the other side. As for why the PV has a military (well, SDF) theme... cause it's bad ass? [tinytext]Oh, and because I think this is neat and I'm...

They actually only sang one song in French (although it was only partially): "Sakura no Hanabiratachi".

Yup, they're here. They've been blogging about it (there was some obsession over a squirrel a few of them saw in a park <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />).

The first thing to note is that while they have "naughty" songs like Seifuku, the majority aren't like that. It's also important to note that Seifuku came out in January 2007, was followed by a song about bullying/suicide (Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou), and they really haven't gone back to that...

Only the first press copies contain the tickets, from what I'm aware. They also have stated they won't be selling any copies at the events, and once the tickets are gone, that's it. As for them going to NYC, I'd go. Nevermind that it's AKB, if you haven't paid any attention to them and you're that c...

[quote name='Special Needs Tricycle' post='67931' date='Aug 26 2009, 05:18 PM']There actually was a handshake event the day before the release date, I think.[/quote]

Not according to their schedule, there wasn't.

The "@", I would assume. But mostly, it's not an *image* specifically as far as the board is concerned. I fooled around with a test account I set up. Here's the image URL flickr gave me for my image when I clicked on it in my account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40488061@N03/3724852028/ I...

For the record, it's: A version: CD+DVD (DVD with "clips" on it) B version: CD+DVD (DVD with different "clips" than the "A" version) Regular version (jack shit) 40th single commemorative version (a different b-side) All of these come with an event serial number card tha...

米米 is Kome Kome in this case.

For numbers we know so far, they've sold 31,972. They could have sold as much as 43,800, but that would be a really optimistic look at it (I took the #3 numbers for the two days they've been at #5 and subtracted 2 to get the highest plausible number for the #5 spot). But, like with this single, it's...

Yeah, that episode left me going "WTF", even though I read Peach's spoiler about Alpha's casting but couldn't remember who Alan Tudyk was. Also, during the Boyd/Ballard fight, I was so torn on who to root for. XD

^ Official word was that they didn't demote her, she demoted herself.

Frances & Aiko did backup dancing for Koharu during Hapi Hapi Sunday (in the big concert, not the Wonderful Hearts one).

Single V is a DVD, not a CD. It contains the main PV, an alternate version, and the making of (most of the time, I'm sure there have been exceptions). As for the Limited A/Limited B question, that tends to vary from release to release. *Generally*, Limited A comes with a DVD, and Limited B generally...

Since this appears to have turned into something of a joke thread, I'm gonna go ahead and say the answer to the question in the title is "me". XD

The song debuted as the opening today, so here's the YouTube clip:

Another change: Oricon reports that Tsunku is done producing H!P.



EDIT: Goddamnit, I (and Oricon and possibly Yahoo) got trolled by a Taiwanese fansite. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... cepalm.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' />

Sometimes they'll do it just to freak us overseas fans out (since they'll read posts from, like, JPM and be all "ZOMG IT FREAKS THEM OUT LET'S DO IT AGAIN"). Also, ROFL because the guy couldn't even spell "kekkon" (should be ケッコン, if it were to be kept in all katakana) right. Unl...

The article did mention they're planning to file the papers in July, though, so I guess there's that?

Your guess was right. Go Girl should be the very last song of the Wonderful Hearts concert, according to the list at Centuryland's Live/Event BBS.
