lol those are some weird titles.

Yeah, but would improving the dances really make them interesting again? JJ’s singing doesn’t keep the group from being super boring to me. The last thing when I listened to Jinsei Blues was that it would be super amazing if they just had better vocals. Maybe like six or seven years ago that was how...

I think it was fairly obvious this would happen. Tomoko is very likely on borrowed time as well.

Well, hopefully it’s not a sign that Kana might not be around much longer.

I’d actually like the first one with the facial expressions if the gray background wasn’t so bad. Still a nice change of pace from regular smiling and deer in headlight expressions.

They released the results of their third party investigation. It was to be expected, but it says no members were involved in the NGT scandal. Yamaguchi is also not participating in handshakes for AKB’s newest single. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://mobile.twitter.com/craae16/status/11086393...

Slightly old news, but Momoka is back as a solo artist!
 
She's also getting married. To her 48 year old therapist. 
 
Nothing creepy here, no sirree. 

H!P covers almost always blow so that doesn’t bother me but if there’s anyone in H!P right now who should get a solo and solo cover it’s Dawa.

I doubt her graduation has anything to do with it, this is their biggest moneymaker of the year. I have seen some suspecting that the NGT debacle has made it hard to find a sponsor.

Pretty interesting. They’re not holding their election at all this year. Seems odd to cancel what is without a doubt their biggest money maker every year.

Probably not anyone who didn’t compete on the show.


I have a hard time imaging those two being successful in Korea. Miyu in particular if she’s going to be a soloist.

These are the outfits.

Okay, but where the hell is their third album?

No point in really announcing a disbandment for a group that’s basically been done for years. Not like they can do any final events or anything. The group served its purpose and that was to keep Reina around. <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Meikochi" data-cid="...

Since he’s no longer living in Japan there’s really very few opportunities for new members to meet him.

Her oldest is actually going to be 7 this year. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

They’d never make Ruru a full front girl in MM. They can’t make photobook and gravure money off of her.

It was an open secret that NGT’s members have issues with one another but the fact that all the girls seemingly involved are in a different team definitely makes it seem like it was serious enough that they tried to separate them all.

NGT has several sponsors who have pulled out as a result of what’s happened.


AKS has always been garbage at handling scandals. After the Minegishi thing in 2013, I’m surprised anyone is surprised at how poorly they’ve handled this.

Oh, she is? Never mind, then I don’t know what Madara is talking about lol.

If she doesn’t make it into MM it’s likely she’s not going to debut at all. It’s probably going to be the last additions for awhile. Maybe JJ will add new girls.
