Meh, this election sucked. Rino at #4? What a freaking joke, at least Mayuyu beat her. Lack of Nattumii makes me sick as well!



Happy Sayaka didn't rank in the 30s at least. Suu~melody ;____; her drop was so sad to me. I'll post more when I get home from my trip!

Atsuko is a pretty good actress in my opinion, I always enjoyed her in the Majisuka dramas, you should check her out anyways! I haven't heard that she's bad either, I've only heard people give her a lot of praise. Anderei, are you sure you aren't talking to haters? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public...

I voted last year for her as well, she's my 2nd Kamioshi. Taka and her are very tied, even though they are very different kinds of idols.

I voted for Sayaka too! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> If I had more money I'd vote for Takamina too.

[quote name='Shoujo Q' timestamp='1338336246' post='125986'] Well at least Tsunku likes to dabble with his music, where as groups like the 48s stick with the same thing to the point where all the songs sound the same. That gets pretty damn boring. I understand, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but at...

A new AKB48 without Acchan happens right after my birthday (the 23rd). Happy birthday to me! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/suika.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':suika:' /> I liked her a lot more before 2010, but I still appreciate how good of a center she is.

I don't hate the girl, but I dislike that she got put in MM and never seemed to do anything. Like, hardcore fans may know she's big behind the scenes, but non-Aika fans wouldn't see that. I don't think she can sing or dance and just never seemed to shine even before the injury. Just my opinion. (I a...

Aika hate because of Yuki/Sumire is so old.

Want me to list all the reasons why I dislike her? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD. So much potential in the 8th gen auditions and what did we get? One of the most useless members in the history of MM, though I guess I should thank Tsunku because AKB48 took what he didn't want. Anyways, YAY. Of course Risa's graduation has to be ruined because of this '...

Oh yay, another group for auditions to never occur. I'm still waiting for Taiwan48!

The lyrics are well done and the music is nice? Therefore it is good music (to me). ;)

If by a stinker, you mean amazing. That song broke a record and helped push the group to popularity. Just saying... Anyways, the song is starting to grow on me and the video is AMAZING. The symbolism of the girls in the EbiKachu outfits and the new girls makes me tear up. I can't wait for the full t...

Basically one of the cutest Team 4 members EVER.

Yes, she is fluent in English. Sometimes her English is weird, but I think it's just because she's trying to speak Japanese and English at the same time. And I think NERVES played a big part of it because she is still a Kenkyusei and has never performed here in America. Heck, I think this is the fir...

[quote name='eri' timestamp='1332887465' post='122239'] Questions: One of the girls had almost accentless English (I think Maria Abe) - half? [/quote] That's Hirata Rina! She's full Japanese, but was born and raised in Arizona. I love her so much, she's like the total little sister of the group to me.

You must be new here.

Eri, they have done a lot of graduations, it has just been a long time since the last one (Ono Erena) and that was at a Theater performance. Oshima Mai got a theater sendoff, with two other girls in 09. Showraniy, I get you. Atsuko is one of the members that appeals to Non fans as well. My BF thinks...

I legitimately started crying at the end with Risa. Soooo many people hate on her, but I love that girl since the beginning of my stanning MM.
