On December 30th, the annual music awards show, ”The 54th Kagayaku! Japan Record Awards” was held, and announced that AKB48’s “Manatsu no Sounds good!” has received the grand prize “Japan Record Award.” This is the second consecutive year for AKB48 to receive the award since they won the award with “Flying Get” last year. AKB48 is the first female group to accomplish this.
Takahashi Minami shed tears, and said, “I am truly happy. Last year, we were desperate to grab the award, but his year, we felt like we must win it as the second chapter for AKB48 has begun. I am proud that we were able to get this award when there are so many great artists here.” Watanabe Mayu also commented, “As Maeda-san graduated, we, the ones who are left, need to make AKB….”, she then had to stop right there, as she could not hold herself, but cry. She continued tearfully, “I am very happy. While being proud of this, I would like to continue trying our best. Though we felt some pressure, receiving the award will make us gain confidence, and I hope it will bring another good accomplishment.”

Congratulations AKB! Your creating so many records! Keep up the good work!

MESSAGE FROM JULII!

So.. I've promised you all a dance cover and I was starting out to learn Yoyaku Shita Christmas,, But sadly I've kept losing internet and I had no choice but to stop learning it,, thus I will not be doing the song.. Although I do not want to let you all down and not give you anything so previously I have learned Valentines Kiss from Watarirouka Hashiritai.. I will make a dance cover of that and put it up on Everyday AKB48's youtube channel! I have learned the dance from a friend and the dance is "correctly" done right but I hope you still enjoy it and please be kind! I will try to have it uploaded tomorrow morning or afternoon!

Kasai Tomomi graduation, and JKT48

First I would like to say this is a sad time...

Kasai Tomomi, Who I really like, Will be graduating..

Chiyuu appeared alone in front of fans, and first thanked them for being able to make a solo debut with her single “Masaka (= No way!)” on the 26th. She then stated,
“There is one more ‘Masaka’ announcement to make. I, Kasai Tomomi, am graduating from AKB48. I joined AKB48 when I was 14, and have been in the group for 6 and a half years. It made me learn a lot of things. Now that I received a chance for a solo debut, I would like to send songs with my own ability from now on.”
 The details on Kasai’s graduation, including when it would be, will be announced as soon as it’s decided.

Chiyuu... Why :'(
________________________________

Yuka and Natsuki to graduate T.T

NATSUKI'S GRADUATION REPORT:
Natsuki will be graduating in order to focus on her studies.
Natsuki joined AKB48 at the age of 15 and has been active in the group for 6 and a half years. However, when she looked at the world with a broader view, she thought about herself and realized that there are still many things that she can challenge herself to. At the same time, she felt that there are many things she has to do properly.

“Right now, I want to go to college, study, and graduate. I want to do my best to be recognized as a human being,” she explained.
Natsuki posted a message to her fans, family, staff, and members onto AKB48’s official blog. She wrote,
“The people I’ve met until now and the time we’ve spent together. Those are my treasures, and I think it will become the bread of my future. Thank you so much for the happy times.”
Good bye Ori-K Natsuki...

YUKA'S GRADUATION REPORT:
Right before a report on a weekly magazine, Yuka Stated that she stayed overnight at DA PUMP member ISSA's place.
She wrote on her blog, “I caused trouble by taking blithe action that lead to a misunderstanding by many people, and I have disappointed the fans who have supported me, team members, junior members, staff members, and my family. I thought a lot about what I should do from now on, and in order for me to take the responsibility, though this is quite a sudden announcement, I am withdrawing from AKB48.”

And good bye Ori-K Yuka T.T

Sorry about this guys, but i've lost internet privileges for about 2 months.. So I won't be back untill February maybe.. Sorry!!.. I will be leaving the blog to Julii untill then please be kind to her!

AKB48 and Okamura Takashi

AKB48 has formed “OKL48” with comedic duo NINETY-NINE’s Okamura Takashi!

Okamura, dressed up as “OKALEMON“, a popular character from Fuji TV’s popular variety show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!“. He will serve as the center and 15 AKB48 members including Oshima Yuko and Watanabe Mayu will also dress up as lemons. OKL48’s original song will be included as a coupling song in AKB48’s upcoming single “Eien Pressure”, which goes on sale on December 5th.

15 members who lost in AKB48’s 3rd Annual Janken Tournament that took place back in September were chosen to be part of the group. They dressed in white tights and wore a mask and skirt to create the unique look of lemons. Member Ichikawa Miori who is known for her catch-phrase “I want to become a fresh lemon.”, was also chosen as a member of OKL48.

 OKL48 will make their first appearance on the December 1st for a 2-hour special episode of the “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” (begins at 7 PM.) OKL48’s comical dance is definitely not to be missed.

Iriyama Anna

Yo! Julii here!

Todays Picture of the day is...

Iriyama Anna!

I say she looks pretty cute
in glasses!

SKE48 single and world record!

Hiya~! Julii here!
SKE48 will release a currently untitled new single in January!

This was announced on November 18th during the group’s handshake event for ‘Kiss Datte Hidarikiki‘ at Pacifico Yokohama. As Matsui Rena called out,
“I have an important announcement for everyone!“,
a message saying, “The second chapter of SKE48 will start“, was projected onto the monitor.
The opening of SKE48’s official theater on December 9th was announced once again.
Members were not imformed about this so they were all quite surprised.

Additionally, the music video for SKE48’s new song, “Tsuyogari Tokei“, was revealed during the event. This song is the coupling track to the Type A edition of AKB48’s upcoming single, “Eien Pressure“, which will be released on December 5th. In the music video, Kitahara Rie, who belongs in both AKB48 and SKE48 will make an appearance.

PARTICIPATING MEMBERS FOR TSUYOGARI TOKEI:
TEAM S: Oya Masana, Kizaki Yuria, Suda Akari, Nakanishi Yuuka, Matsui Jurina, Matsui Rena, Yagami Kumi
TEAM KII: Ishida Anna, Ogiso Shiori, Takayanagi Akane, Hata Sawako, Furukawa Airi, Mukaida Manatsu, Yakata Miki
TEAM E: Kimoto Kanon
AKB48: Kitahara Rie

Also, SKE48 set Guinness World Records with their first album!
On November 19th, an awarding ceremony was held in Tokyo, where the girls of SKE48 received their certificate. In astonishment, Matsui Jurina commented,
“Being active in SKE48, I never thought that we would be certified by Guinness, I want to rejoice together with our fans.”

The album comes with a total of 63 music videos for each member. When the news first broke through to the girls during their album release event, they expressed their surprise and joy with shouts of “Wow” and “Yay“. Matsui Rena said excitedly, “We’re going to be in that Guinness Book!?“, and expressed her wish of displaying the certificate in SKE48’s official theater (opens on December 9th).
 Now in their 5th year, Jurina was deeply moved at the growth of the group.
“I never thought that we would have 63 members in the first place,” This year, there are rumors going around that the girls will make their first independent appearance on the ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen‘.
  ”If we could participate, that alone would make me happy. If every member of SKE48 could participate in the Kohaku, I want to share it like the Guinness World Records.”

Among the 48 groups, AKB48 has been certified as the “pop group with the most amount of members”. Takayanagi Akane proudly stated,
“For ours, the fact that each and every one of our works have been put into one has been certified. The directors made them with affection for the members, so we’re winning with love.”


Congratulations SKE! Keep up the good work and do your best!
___________________________________

Lastly a message from Atsu and I. Next week on November 28th we will start something new!

We will start taking song requests from you all. Choose your favorite song of AKB48, SKE, SDN, NMB, HKT, Nogizaka46 and we will post them on the blog. Since youtube continuously deletes songs from AKB48, we will be kind and find the MP3 to that song and make a small video for you guys. We believe this is good way for people who are just getting into the 48 groups to learn some of their songs. If we do not get comments by the 28th we will just pick our own songs... So start commenting! You can comment on the facebook page, youtube, and the blog!

Eien Pressure!

I look forward to seeing the types of flowers that sprout from these seeds. I want each new member to grow into their own individual flower.”

Also Takajo Aki and Nakagawa Haruka who transferred to JKT48 this month stated

“I also became a JKT48 member in November, so I am standing at the same start line as everyone. While there may be moments that are painful, I believe there will be even more moments that are enjoyable. Let’s all try our best,”
while Nakagawa stated,
“I am happy that I will meet everyone. Let’s try our best to be energetic and have fun together.”

SKE48's Yagami Kumi will be Graduating..

Because SKE48 Theater is currently under renovation, Kumi expressed her feelings through her Google+ account. She wrote, “SKE48 has gained 5th generation members and I now have many juniors under me. As a 1st generation member, I felt that I had to lead the other members. I also wanted my juniors to have many chances and display their talents. Also, as I thought about my own path, I strongly felt that I should start over again. I was thinking about graduating from the 48 group since about a year ago. It’s a decision that requires courage, but I was able to announce it today.” 

The exact date of Kumi's graduation is undecided at this time. She will officially make her announcement in front of fans at SKE48’s handshake event for “Kiss Datte Hidarikiki” on November 3rd at Port Messe in Aichi. Kumi passed SKE48’s opening audition back in July of 2008. She became a member of Team S and has been in the senbatsu since the group’s first single, “TsuyokiMono yo“. In AKB48’s 4th General Election, Kumi placed 28th, and has also been active as a member of the Undergirls.

But... but... She's Mine and many others SKE Oshi...

Hikawa Ayame of NMB48's Team M will be taking a brake due to injury.

This is Ayame's original message posted:

"Since about 3,4 months ago, my leg injury and physical condition hasn't been good and there were times I was abesent from work and stage shows. I think if I continued to drag on (this situation) like this I would cause troubles, and as a result of talking to the staff, I will take a short break. It's inexcusable and arbitrary, but please give me a bit time. I don't know when I will be able to come back, but I will do my best at treatment and rehabilitation to get well as fast as possible. I am really sorry."
 -Hikawa Ayame

I hope she will feel better..

Ok lets brighten up our day!

As some of you may know already, AKB48 has made a song for the upcoming movie Wreck it Ralph! This movie will film globally so fans of AKB all over the world can watch this and show their love for AKB48!

I have the preview of the song and PV right here!

The graduation

Hello everyone Neneko here! It's been a very long while since I have posted something..
Lately I haven't been able to use internet at all so I had to leave it all to Atsu I'm sorry.
I know people do not know me very well and since I haven't even posted  in a month I have come to a decided decision.

I will withdraw my place as second admin.
This may not be so very important to many of you but I believe it is.
To leave one person who can not use internet as much either can be very hard to take.
I am still young so I need to focus more on my school studies and other priorities for my future.
Blogging is fun as it can take your mind away from the real world but that is a slight problem for me.
However, I do want to try to come back one day once my life has been caught up, but this will take a long while.
This is not Hiatus though, It is a true graduation for me because I felt like I have contributed something to you all and it has made me really happy to see people contributing to us as well,
Thank you everyone who has read our posts. I will continue to read every post that your main admin posts.
Thank you for supporting the blog and Neneko!

Mitsumune Kaoru and AKB documentary, Miyazawa Sae Send off

First off Mitsumune Kaoru will be withdrawing from AKB48.

In the blog post titled “From Mitsumune, To My Fans”, Kaoru explained,
“My physical condition has not been good for a while and it has become difficult for me to stand in front of everyone in perfect condition. This has definitely caused problems for those around me and also created a huge personal burden, so I have sent in a notice about my withdrawal.”

After Kaoru’s absence from AKB48’s August concert at the Tokyo Dome due to her poor physical condition, she made a temporary comeback. However, she did not participate in an event for the movie version of “Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou” earlier this month due to her poor physical condition. On November 1, she was originally scheduled to join Team K.

Poor Kaoru... I was just beginning to like her too :(
____________________________________________

The 3rd AKB48 film [Documentary of AKB48: No Flower Without Rain] has been announced and will start screening in cinemas in Japan from February 1st, 2013.

The film will be directed by Takahashi Eiki, who directed last year's [Documentary of AKB48: Show Must Go On], but not the 2011 film [Documentary of AKB48: To Be Continued].

Similar to the previous film, this documentary will take a look at the biggest events that have occurred to AKB48 throughout 2012, including the graduation of Maeda Atsuko, and the momentous concerts at Tokyo Dome. The film will mostly feature interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, and is even said to touch on the topic of "forbidden love" for idols.

YES! Can't wait!
________________________________________

On October 24th, AKB48 held a send-off event for member Miyazawa Sae, who will be transferring to SNH48 in Shanghai, China next month.

In a tearful voice, Oshima Yuko expressed, “I’m very thankful that we met. You are a dear friend. Although we’ll be in different places, let’s chase our dreams and catch them together.” In response, Miyazawa was moved to tears and said, “In Shanghai, I hope to do the things I wasn’t able to do in Japan little by little.”

The send-off party was held during “Team K 6th ‘RESET’ Senshuraku Kouen“, Team K’s final performance before their team shuffle goes into effect on November 1st. Miyazawa revealed, “I’m honestly frightened that the things I thought were natural will disappear one by one. The ones who made Team K such a wonderful team are those who have supported us. On behalf of everybody, thank you very much.”

Some members were already in tears after singing 4 songs back-to-back during the opening. Oshima declared, “I will apologize now. Today, I will not pay attention to anybody, but will enjoy my time with Team K to the fullest. I hope to make the new Team K an even better team. I won’t lose!”
________________________________________

Also, Regarding pictures of the week, I have put them off for now. As you can see I haven't posted as much due to tough school studies so I can not take my time to do pictures of the week. However, I do want to retry when the New teams go into effect. I will then restart again with Team A. I also want to retry posting pictures of the day once again. One of my friends in school gave me the idea of posting one video of the ***48 groups once a month. The way I will set this up is by posting a status on the blogs official facebook page asking which AKB video should be posted. Thank you for your patience in our absence. Tomorrow we are going to make an announcement regarding our blog so please wait up for it.

Kasai Tomomi and Matsuda Shiori

Kasai Tomomi will appear on reality TV show [1ヶ月1万円生活]. In this show, the contestants are given 10,000 yen to cover all living expenses for one month. This roughly translate to 125 US dollars, so it is a very tight budget, and the show is about how they survive living off this tiny amount of money.

At the end of the month, the contestant with the most amount of money left over is the winner. Tomomi will be up against economic analyst Morinaga Takurou, and comedian Yoshimura Takashi from Heisei Nobushikobushi. The show will start airing from the 18th October 2012.

I hope all goes well with Tomo and she survives O.o....

THE FREAKIN 5TH MEMBER TO GRADUATE FROM NMB!!!!

Matsuda Shiori will be graduating from NMB in order to focus on her studies..

This was announced by Matsuda herself during Team N’s concert on October 18th at NMB48 Theater in Osaka. Her graduation concert will be held on the 24th.

Message on groups official blog:

“From shortly before, I wasn’t able to have confidence in continuing my activities as NMB48. So I was troubled, thinking it would be better to prioritize my studies and return to being a normal girl. I thought that I would trouble the members and fans if I continued my activities with a half-hearted attitude. I thought that it would reflect on my performance.” 

Matsuda became NMB48’s first generation member back in October of 2010 and was the senbatsu member for their debut song, “Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo” (released July 2011). Last September, she temporarily suspended her activities, but was able to return early this year due to the fans’ votes.

Omg... whats going on with everything this is the 5th member to graduate in a row! I wonder if its just that they all have boyfriends and trying to avoid harsh scandals? Oh well i hope it's just a waaaaaayy longer time before any of our oshi's go away...

Togo Sora Graduates from NMB48

Another NMB48 member to leave...

3rd Generation Kenkyuusei Togo Sora decided to withdraw from NMB48 to focus on her studies. This was announced on October 11 and the decision came into effect the same day.

 "At last...finally... The time has come I have to tell you. I, Kenkyuusei Togo Sora, will withdraw from NMB48 today. Thank you a lot for all that love you always gave me, no matter what time. I talked to my parents about it several times, and I have accepted it... but now even at this moment my heart is shaking. It's been about 5 months since I debuted as a 3rd generation member. Maybe people think it's to early to come to a conclusion. I was worried about not being able to get into any selections (senbatsu) among the 3rd generation members, and painful days without hope continued. I do understand too, that I am not the only one for who it is painful. On one side I think that I want to continue chasing my dream as a member of NMB48 together with the others...and that I have to work hard..., on the other side, my parents, who were unable to just watch, told me "There are times when it doesn't work out no matter how hard you work. It's not like someone is at fault, you're just a bit out of luck." If you really want to fulfill your dream (in entertainment business), why don't you concentrate on your studies now, which you should as a junior high student primarily do, in order to broaden your field of vision?". For some reasons, I was relieved about these words, and as a result of worrying, I decided to focus on my studies. I am completely satisfied seeing the Team BII members who debuted yesterday. I don't have any regrets left about my work. It's just...parting with you is hard... You, who alway supported me, who was full of worries, you, who cheered me on heartily, or recently said to me "No matter if you get into a team or not. Sora is sora. I'll always support you". Management suggested a "graduation show" for me. I think to a Kenkyuusei like me, who has nothing to "graduate" from, "withdraw from activities" is the best decision. Please forgive me, who decided it this way, my selfishness. I made a lot of precious experiences and I spent a happy time. I'll continue to always support NMB48. You who supported me, the staff members, first of all the theater manager, who guided me, my senpai, the 3rd Generation members who were always with me...I am full of thankful feelings to them all. Thank you a lot Kenkyuusei Togo Sora"

There must be some problem going in with NMB48 because that 4 members in a row already...

Uza uza uza!

Due to my laptop charger being broken I won't have computer access untill I get a new one sometime next week. I now leave you with the full PV of UZA! I only have the link lol...
UZA!!

All current AKB48 stages to finish in October :D

It was announced at the handshake event today in Iwate prefecture that all four of AKB48's current stages will end this month. The senshuuraku of each of the four stages are:

Team A - [Mokugekisha] - 29th October    
Team K - [RESET] - 24th October
Team B - [Theater no Megami] - 22nd October
Team 4 - [Boku no Taiyou] - 25th October

 From 1st November 2012, the New Teams announced during the Tokyo Dome Team Shuffle will perform [Waiting Stages]. These will consist of a selection of existing AKB48 songs. These Waiting Stages will continue until new stages are ready for the new teams. Only 16 members from each of the three new teams will participate in each performance. With these members rotating from show to show.

YES! Finally something new! This is just a meaning that AKB48 will have new stages very soon (besides Waiting Stages)! I can't wait to see Chiyuu  in Team A ♥_♥ And of course the lovely Takamina and Sayaka! sorry...fangirl moment...

Fujita Runa quits NMB48

I'm in another hurry..so I have to copy and past..again...
From Melos no Michi:  http://melosnomichi.blogspot.com/2012/10/team-m-member-fujita-runa-quits-nmb48.html

On October 3rd, it was announced that Fujita Runa, member of NMB48's Team M, will leave the group immediately. Her Google+ account and participation in the NMB48 blog will stop in a few days too.

 Fujita Runa has been suffering from lower back/hip pain for a while because of which she had to reduce her work in NMB48 and now decided to quit completely.

 Runa joined NMB48 as a 2nd Generation member in summer last year and also was an original member of Team M, formed in January this year. She is the third Team M member to leave, after Kodakari Yuuka and Jo Eriko.

 Below is the translation of her message to the fans.

 Fujita Runa's comment.
 Original Message

 "To my beloved everyone I am sorry for causing you a lot of worries.
My lower back/hip has been hurting and I also went to the hospital but it is not yet completely healed. Because it would be sad to cause you more worries and trouble I decided to withdraw from my activities in NMB48.
Until now I thought and worried a lot. 'I don't want to quit'...I feel that too. But if my back does not heal now, I cannot move forward.
I love you all, the members and NMB48. I really do.
Since I joined NMB48 I have been able to make a lot of experiences. Stage shows, handshake events, two-shot events, other events, the Janken tournament. Out of all that I love the stage shows, the handshake and two-shot events, I was happy to be able to meet you and I had fun.
For me, who likes to talk, those were great events. Having been able to meet you, that is my treasure.
What saved me during sad times, hard times, frustrating times and times when I wanted to cry　or was about to give up, were you all and the members. There were several times when I read the blog comments and thought, crying, "I'll do my best".
Really, thank you for supporting this me until now. The words I absolutely wanted to say at last, are "thank you" to you all and the members.
I am grateful to everyone I met. From now on I'll let my back/hip heal properly, and because I also have high school entrance exams, I'll do my best at studying too.
"I will, the way it suits me," do my best, without forgetting these words you taught me, so that I won't lose to you.
I love the 2nd generation members. I love Team M. I love NMB48. Really, thank you for everything."
_______________________________________________
I hope she recovers Soon :(

A *new* kind of facebook?

Ok this doesn't have much to do with AKB48.. but..
If  you want to become a friend of Neneko and I add us on Yolospace!
Yep the "swagey" people have their own website.
Facebook kind of bores me.. So i thought I would try something new :D

So go to Yolospace.com , create an account and add me, Mizuki Atsukei. I don't like using real names on websites like this so I just changed my last name instead of first :3
Neneko has not created her account yet but look forward to it tomorrow maybe?

Handshake event, Kitahara Rie, And Akimoto Sayaka

Due to a typhoon warning in Osaka AKB48's Handshake event has been canceled...

Thats basically all to say for that O.o

_____________________________________

Kitahara Rie will be participating in a TV show called Terrace House. She was going to announce this at the handshake event but due to the typhoon, she instead announced this on AKB48's official channel on youtube.
Three women and three men will live in the same house together.
Since this is a reality show I don't think they will have lines..
Also, If this is one where they just focus on the everyday life with three men and three women, I'm worried about Kitarie. What happens if she falls in love with one of the men? Aki-p might transfer her or she might kick herself out for it..

_______________________________________________

Also, On Everyday AKB48's facebook Page, We posted a status asking who your favorite Oshi is and we will make a blog post of her.
We have one person who says Akimoto Sayaka is her oshi!
So as I have promised I will write about Sayaka.

I found this Cute picture of Sayaka on her twitter.

Im gonna be honest... I was really staring at this one for a while 

Her eyes looks so beautiful and .., has anyone else noticed lately she has lost some weight..

Hello!

Don't worry I'm not dead :P  I had exams this week xC

I realize I have a lot to catch up on... Obviously I'm lazy and I don't feel like posting much right now :P
I'll be catched up on everything by the end of this week hopefully! Anyways enjoy this picture of AKB48♥

AKB48 28th single and Paruru!

Yesterday was the janken tournament! guess who's center? SHIMAZAKI HARUKA!!!!!! I'm glad for this one! Before i wasn't so satisfied with the last janken centers... 

Also AKB48 performed their 28th single. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! It is called UZA! It has the most hardest choreography in AKB history! Also it is a W center with Jurina and Yuko. 

Next center?

As I read on Tokyohive there comes a post about AKB48 singing their upcoming single at the janken tournament. What really caught my attention was the discussion of the next center.
It is said that maybe the center for the "kakoii" single will be the fixed center. As I read down in the comment there were small arguments on who should and most likely be center.

Of course people are going to skip right to the point and say Oshima Yuko will be definite center but theres a BIG chance she won't be. The top choices I have seen were Watanabe Mayu, Shimazaki Haruka, Matsui Jurina, Watanabe Miyuki, and Takahashi Minami.
Lets do elimination here.

MATSUI JURINA

 One good ace. BUT!! May we all remember, even if she is a member of AKB48 she is still apart of SKE48 AND SKE's ace. Also lets remember how sick she got from over doing things in just SKE48. She's young and cool but not a good choice for the ace of AKB48. ESPECIALLY AKB48!

WATANABE MIYUKI (MIRUKI / MILKY)

She's one of the top centers for NMB48. She's cute and fluffy IMO. This would also be a bad idea for center of AKB48. Why? Do we really want to risk, what happened to jurina, to happen to Miyuki? She's my favorite member of NMB48, and I want her to just be of NMB48. Lets put it like this. If the girl is from another group she shouldn't be the ace of AKB48.


WATANABE MAYU (MAYUYU)

In all honesty, I don't even approve of her being the ace of Team B. I don't understand why she is popular. Why? someone please tell me! It can't just be because she is cute!
Anyways on to the point. I don't think she could take the place of Acchan. She may be young but somehow I don't sense her power the same as Acchans.


TAKAHASHI MINAMI (TAKAMINA)

I think she is a REALLY REALLY good choice for center. No i'm not just saying this because she is my oshi. She is the overall captain of AKB48 now. Her power, In my opinion, is the same as Acchans. She is loyal, cute, really good power in dancing and singing, and she can take on anything JUST LIKE ACCHAN! Although, the downside to this is... shes fails at times (LOL)

And lastly,
SHIMAZAKI HARUKA (PARURU)

She is also a good candidate for center. She looks like Acchan, SHE CAN SING!!! and shes basically already being pushed. She was on the cover of 1830m, no? I still don't know much about Shimazaki, but to me, she is like a rival to Acchan. Just like Takamina.
___________________________________________________

Now lets equal it all down. Jurina and Miyuki are most likely not going to be the ace so we cross them out. Watanabe Mayu I guess has a good chance so we leave her secure. Takahashi Minami has a good chance as well, she is secure. Shimazaki Haruka has a good chance she is secure.

Leaves us with 3 girls. Mayuyu, Takamina, and Paruru.

In my opinion Aki-p should consider a triple center for these 3. It's quite hard to pick which girl should be center. I think he should do triple center or do a rotating center. I would vote more on Rotating center so all of the girls will have the chance to be a center.

Leave a comment and vote your opinion on who could be the next center or which kind of position should Aki-p consider.

Office48 take legal action

I'm in a hurry to write this so I need to copy and past from the source which is Tokyohive
http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/09/shukan-shincho-digs-up-alleged-dirty-money-used-to-build-akb48-office48-threatens-tabloid-with-lawsuit/

On September 13th, the weekly tabloid ‘Shukan Shincho‘ released its latest issue with the big controversial headline
“The puppeteer’s alchemy. A study of this generation’s favorite child Akimoto Yasushi“.
It seems like they hit upon some dirt, as this is only the first part of a serial story.

 The first part is titled “The bank transfer scam money that built AKB48!” and takes a closer look at the origin of the idol group AKB48. The group is administered by the entertainment agency AKS, which stands for [A] Akimoto Yasushi, [K] Kubota Yasushi, and [S] Shiba Koutarou, who were the 3 men that created AKB48.

 According to the tabloid, Shiba Koutarou was involved in various dubious activities to make some easy money in the past, including bank transfer scams, and underground casinos.

Shiba established the management agency ‘office48‘ which currently manages a couple of the group’s girls, back in July of 2004. The ‘48′ actually stands for ’shiba’ and evidently played a huge part in naming the new idol group ‘AKB48′ later on. Then the recruitment for the AKB48 members began in July of 2005, using the ‘office48′ as the contact window for the audition. After that, AKS was established in January 2006, setting Kubota as the president. Due to Shiba’s collaboration in the creation of AKB48, they’re giving assumptions that a lot of that dirty money was used in the process as well.

Akimoto was directly asked about those accusations and answered,
“I have no knowledge that Shiba has such a past, but when I asked him about it, he told me that ‘Nothing of that is true and I can prove it.’, and Shiba is no longer involved in AKB48 anyway.” He continued, “If he was involved in such activities and I had knowledge of this, I wouldn’t have worked together with him in the first place.” As Akimoto said, Shiba denied that he was involved in the alleged illegal businesses, through his lawyer.

 That pretty much sums up the first part of this serial story. It seems like the story is based on nothing but serious yet groundless accusations. office48 thinks the same way and immediately released an official statement.

 In the statement they accuse the tabloid of defaming their representative director and the damaging the credibility of AKB48 with completely groundless information. Quote:
“We are strongly objecting the article and are demanding for a withdrawal of the story and an apology by Shinchosha, the publisher of Shukan Shincho. We also plan to take legal action.”
