AKB48 broke another record, this time a Guinness World Record for Most members in a pop group.



Akimoto's next feat, World Record for most groups he can create with the ending of 48.

Hahaha, I can so read what you two wrote. Heh, she said something like "right now I'm in the middle of deciphering foreign letters, haha". But that line about being in dreams is kind of creepy.

Oh yay! Thanks.



SHE ALWAYS SAYS THAT LINE ABOUT DREAMS. I think it's hilarious. Does she really know what it means? And why would she want that? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> Oh well, I'm just happy she says it in such nice English. I haven't seen her make any English mistakes.



I think she made a new post answering some of the questions in the comments? Geez, she really is the sweetest girl!

As I've said before, I think it's pretty cool that she likes and openly shows your letters !

What did you write her ? (or is it a secret ?)

Shelly, do you know exactly where to send fan letters? I want to send some to a few members but I'm not sure the best way how. Do you just send them through the agency?



Also, the new AKBingo looks like it's going to be good! Mmm girls in santa outfits.

WHOA MOENO IS TOUCHING MY LETTER!!1!



Well, I had my little fangasm today. And my liking of Moeno rose even more, even if it only started because Berry liked her and wouldn't stop talking about her. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



I basically just said thank you for making Berry so happy by showing her letter on the blog before. We sent our letters at the same time but in separate envelopes. I think the fact that she made the connection only adds to the awesomeness. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />

Speaking of subgroups, no3b (or no sleeves whatever they're called now) is releasing an album.



I totally had the Takamina version in my cdj cart and forgot to complete the order AS ALWAYS because I'm a bitch about remembering stuff. No speshul version for me. D: Oh well, saves me casssshhh. The covers look nice, even the usually odd looking minegishi. I love it when idols are dressed simply and prettily.

It's not fair to call AKP48 a spin-off, is it? It's a completely different company.

I like the English description for their video, and they know how to get views since they called it "-AKP48- Cute and Adorable puppy dancing for English language people. " Its description is "AKP48 is puppy unit talent. They are really good at dancing. You can enjoy and watch their dancing. And they are also singing, this scean is also good for watching. They are more cuter than Japanese talent AKB48. "



I know some of you like this "pictures of cute puppy" silliness.



I still like the MomoClo "Hashire" better though.

Moeno wrote that she was drinking strawberry milk tea so she wrote strawberry on the picture. I can't help but feel excited. I DID tell her that I comment as strawberry on her blogs! AND then her mug has M on it! For Michelle (that's my name, OK?).... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... deways.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sideways:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> Yeah so I stole her writing to put in my sig now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



Oh yeah and what I write in letters to her is just boring stuff... just how I've been feeling lately and how I hope she doesn't feel like that. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> And just saying how great she was in some PV or something. I told her Cantonese was great from the videos I watched when she went to HK. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Okay, so I never posted in this topic, but I read it...



The reason for the post:



I live in Israel, and as I was reading the newspaper I noticed a picture with japanese letters, looking at the picture and I reconized Rie Kitahara, I was shocked to see there was a full page article on AKB48, and about how the started from a small theatre...



the main purpose was to say the japanese industry make 12 years school girls into males fantasy...



I didn't care - I read the rest, and it also deccribed SKE48 and all the new 48 groups!



AKB48 is reaching all over the world!!!

Mariko is 24, will be 25 this March. The youngest is Maa-chan, who is 15, will be 16 this year.

So the ages range from 15-24 currently.

If you include AKB Kenkyuusei, the youngest is 12, soon to be 13, but only one girl is that age and most kenkyuusei are 15-17.

I used wikipedia <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I hope I linked this right. I can never get use to the Chinese Youtube.



Anyway, AKB48's new Sakura Single PV is out, Sakura no Ki ni Narou



It's like super sad and depressing and it'll sell over a million copies cause that's how Akimoto rolls. Oh and this is the short version. The real one will be 13 minutes long and a snot fest.



Oh and what's her face with the fang that just released a solo single look more and more like Tsuji and Nami Amuro's love child every time I see her. (it's true shut up!)

That's Tomochin! Itano Tomomi. I agree she looks like Amuro! I've always thought that!



This PV was so sad and sweet, I cried every time I saw Jurina's face <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' /> ....I hope they'll explain why she died in full PV.

I think it's funny how Yuko was pregnant in 10nenzakura, and now in this single she had a kid!

I love the song!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /heart.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' /> I pre-ordered this <333

The Sakura songs are always the boring slow songs. It's what they are, always but they only do one of them a year so that isn't bad. Also AKB48 has to be all hip and cool and show off their flashy budget with their PVs too by making them all cool and flashy and budgetie and that kinda bores me also.



I also don't care for the song but it'll sell well anyway.

Okay, so I'm secretly in love with Dear J and I secretly like Tomomi Itano (can't believe the transformation that girl has had over the years). Too bad her voice sounds atrocious with all of that autotune. I just couldn't help thinking to myself, "this is the kind of music I want Maki Goto to be releasing." <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hmph:' />



I'm really not into AKB48 as a whole, but I do like Heavy Rotation. I'm also curious to know how the sales of their subgroups are, since AKB48 is so popular these days. Any fansites or anything out there that list the sales of French Kiss and whoever else there is?

stage48 usually posts the sales numbers

I know no3b sold 50,000+ for their new album that just came out, and before that I think their singles sold like 30,000+

Watarirouka Hashiritai sells 40,000+ or sometimes 50,000+

I don't know about French Kiss though

Completely agreed! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rofl:' />

I don't like her A LOT. But I'm really incredibly envious how she started from a chubby loli to what she is now. I wish I could achieve that somehow. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hmph:' /> If I was partial to any front girl, it would be her though. Also, her singing sucks. But I'm pretty excited about her solo even though this first single sounds horrible Avex recycled crap to me. I still like her because she is stylish, but also petit/cute at the same time. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



For the confused, Dear J by Itano Tomomi PV on

youtube and youku



I always like to show this picture to show how much Tomochin transformed...

Moeblob Tomochin is my favourite member of AKB. She's sometimes over-doing it with the nails though. (fangs that can cut you open !)

She's so tiny for a 19 years old ! hah
