AKB48 anyone...? (General Chat Thread)

I really LOVE AKB48 and its subrgoups, but I don't see that much fan of theirs in the forum I'm frequenting, so I'd like to make people know 'em a little bit more
Here is the wikipédia page about 'em : http://wiki.theppn.org/Akihabara48
Several files like singles, albums and concerts had been uploaded on the download section of this forum, check it up

It's the 2 last singles Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru & Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou who brings me to become a huge fan of theirs *_*

My favorite members are :
Minami Takahashi

Atsuko Maeda

Tomomi Kasai

Haruna Kojima

Yuuko Ooshima

Erena Ono

Yeah, I love this one Especially the techno + heavy guitar bridge <33
Did you see its PV? What do you guys think about it?

Sure I've seen the PV^^
It's their best so far! But Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou's was great, too!
The first time I watched it I felt quite scared <.<

In fact I started loving 'em with Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou, seeing the PV, I was like "woah they're less shallow than most of JPop groups!", talking about suicide wasn't something common JPop groups were showing...But I think they could've go deeper in this, as they just show Tomomi Kasai going to throw herself, but not doing it actually, while in the making we saw her jumping.

About Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru, I also like the Shibuya-at-night atmosphere, there's something dirty on the PV that goes well with the techno tunes, like the dance shots in the sewer, Atsuko Maeda wainting for her client wjo's an old salary man, or even Tomomi Kasai dating young men at one time. It was pretty surprising to talk about prostitution in this PV, but it's done in a very cool way I think ^^


Here's the lastest AKB48 subgroup, Chocolove from ABK48's single Radio-Ripped song : Ashita wa ashita ga Umareru, I like this song ^^

wheres the radio-rip?

Zioops! Silly me! :hehe: =>THERE YOU GO<= :hiphip!dapyon: Enj...OI~!

THANKS! also what is Chocolove from ABK48 about?

It's like all the other groups ...from AKB48, a one-shot group, made for the ending of an anime. This song is the one I prefer from AKB48's sugroups, even if the members are not my favorites.
The song is soft and calm, but not boring for one second ^^ I can't wait for the single *_*

yeah it's sooo cool, and the PV is awsome

Eventually I think I over-listened to the A-Side, and now it kinda bores me lol
I'm now listening again and again Chocolate, the single c/w, which is awesome! I particularly like the music brigde
I wish it had a PV!

By the way, AKB48 new release, BINGO! is also about to be released.
I'm not really looking for this one though. After listenning to the concert preview, I didn't find it that catchy (countrary to the 2 last singles for example)
Anyways, you can grab it right here :

Am I the only one not to like it that much?

I haven't listened to AKB48's new single, yet but I LOVE Chocolove's single!
I hope they'll release more great songs like that^^

Yup

I don't really like it tho~...

For any group I'd say that it's too short, but AB48 groups don't seem to stay very long on Oricon charts (I remember that Keibetsu Shite Aijou peaked at #5 but fell very fast), so I think by releasing another single they wanna stay a little bit longer on Oricon charts

First Press Cover for BINGO! Still not that good to me

A longer version of AKB48's BINGO is available on Youtube :
Watch out there -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE3hOzKMdQU

Cool THANKS! i'll check it out

(My thoughts about this song)

it's alright but i don't realy like it that much right now but i'm sure with time i'll end up loving it (it has that kinda sound ) i already am liking it more than i did before already

Thanks!
And here is the preview of the PV :

http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=I3N36D5U


BTW, we're doing a great team for upping naws

ok i love it, also the PV looks like it's going to be fun to watch, no more school clothes lol

Yeah but actually I think I kknow why i don't like the song : they've spent so much money on the garments that they had no money left for a good song

lol, anywayssss, I find 46 members is way too much even if it'll be the same ones to be leading the group.

But, indeed, the outfits are cute, and everyone looks great
