so feel free to comment about them! whether you love’em, hate’em or surprisingly are! ^^ -- Lyrad

[Azu-Nyan]

I think I'm 18, the fickle one. Minegishi is currently my favorite. :3

[Krusha]

So, as for myself:

1) If by old school it's meant with before the King Records singles then I guess maybe, but I got in way too late for my own likings to call myself old school. That to me is way back in the days of Team A only, so no go for me here.

4) I do buy everything...

8) Definitely love their singles a lot, but the stages are the core of the group/teams. This is what defines them.

9) And while I buy their releases I also download! So much great stuff to watch from their TV appearances.

14) Reinyan Chikarina

16) Guilty of belonging to this group as well. (My wallet hates me.)

17) Here it's more like "AKB girls in AKB, and SKE girls in SKE" for me - I don't hate any SKE girls, I love a lot of them and buy SKE releases as well so it's all good

24) mmmmm.... Sayaka's abs.... Sayaka's thighs.... Sayaka's arms... Sayaka's hands...

25) Some of these girls are sooo lovable..

[Azul]

This was so funny to read .
I think I'm...

1. Enjoying their music & stages since Aitakatta. I don't however call dibs on Maeda ;D

8. Stages ftw! Singles are good too but nothing beats the Stage songs, IMO.

11. Embarassed to admit a little but I really am the casual of casuals!

24. I always like men-like girls!

The last one made me laugh out loud.
Nice find!

[visionfactory]

lol this was so much fun to read

I sometimes feel like the old school type or the flicke one maybe a bit of the stage song over-enthusiast type too

[veyen]

5. “the pervert”
I don't believe there exists a true fan that does NOT enjoy flying skirts from time to time. Especially AKB48 skirts

12. “the unhappy one”
Miichan and Akicha need more screen time dammit!

17. “the akb purist”

>> what’s this ske vermin doing on ma single wtf how can dis be called an akb single then it doesn’t make sense.

I hate to say it but it's the truth.

19. “the age watcher”
I like all the girls, but I only like the 94's and older.


You guys can hate (or just disagree with ) me for my opinions now

[Chuchips]

LOL, WHAT IS THIS xD
I didn't think people still had senses of humor with all the arguing on threads :9

2. When i see a hot chick, i want her~simple as that. when i see minami minegishi, its like mangasm. all of a sudden, i discover yagami kumi... and then ogiso shiori, and then oshima yuko etc.etc.

5. I feel like i'm in that small category of "i like heavy rotation PV" at tokyo hive ; - ;

13. I don't know what this means, but I DON'T LIKE JURINA. don't hate her, but her face... jk. but i don't like jurina.

18. minami~<33

[Malachite]

9) The Downloader
Is over 1TB with no deletion ever enough to fit this category? Almost entirely TV shows. I'm planning on buying another external HDD just for AKB48 material.

10) The Stalker
I once read and saved the pics from the old blog of the manager of a stage show Sumire used to be in. I first discovered her in 2006 at an audition for a girl group but, as of sometime last year, I know pretty much everything she's done in the entertainment industry since she was 9 years old and have seen videos and pics of pretty much all of it, which is an achievement considering how she wasn't really famous or anything back then. I definitely meet the stalker requirements.

25) The Girls Under the Undergirls
It's possible that I no longer fit this category now that Suuchan is actually regularly in Undergirls but I do still feel like supporting the less popular girls, especially the younger ones, means more than supporting the girls who are already popular.

[taskinist]

8. “the stage song over-enthusiast”
>> Hey what no your like so shallow man, i dont do singles. Stage songs are where its at dude.

17. “the akb purist”
>> what’s this ske vermin doing on ma single wtf how can dis be called an akb single then it doesn’t make sense.

-I get mad at people when they don't focus on stages. THAT'S HOW IT HAS TO BE DONE (in my opinion) SO FFFFFFFUUUUUU-

-I have an SKE oshimen and stuff but I want AKB singles to be AKB singles. I'm very stubborn about this.

[Valerie]

[mixedmedia]

8. “the stage song over-enthusiast”

Slowly listening to the stages and on average the songs seem better to me, but I like most of the singles as well.

9. “the downloader“

There's so much AKB/SDN/SKE media out there so it's unavoidable, especially for a packrat like me. Yet another 1TB HDD needs to be bought soon.

13. “the i hate pachinko empires”

For as much as she is pushed, I still don't get what the big deal is about her, especially since Rena is cuter IMO. No way is she really 13! Similar to my feelings about Koharu being touted as a "miracle girl". Started liking "Namida Surprise" and "10nen Sakura" until I saw the videos and found myself constantly wishing Jurina would go away b/c she appears maybe more than Acchan does!

18. “the fickle one”

This week is Masuda. Last week was Amina. Week before that it was Sayaka. etc.... I may never decide.

24. “the men like girls”

Sayaka, Sae and Takamina are awesome! This probably comes from Yossie being my MM oshimen. I like some of the girly ones too though.

26. “the AKB owns H!P hard but I still like Risako”
>> hey woah, yes I was a H!P fan but how can you still support them when they wish they could be in AKB instead AND get away from Mitsui Aika?

Not a fan of Risako (GakiKame and Panda fan of the current MM incarnation) but I am a little disappointed when girls who end up in AKB get rejected during the MM/H!P auditions, until I realize they usually end up getting way more exposure in AKB (eg. Kashiwagi Yuki). Much better than being reduced to "ooh" and "ahh" or "help me!" vocals while Takahashi, Airi, Maimi, etc. turn most singles into a solo act with everyone else as backdancers like EXILE does.

30. “The b sides are better”

Looking at Gomen ne Summer, Chance no Junban and GAGAGA, the b-sides are way better! This might not always the case, but...

32. “The DD.”

Seems when I find out about a girl I didn't know about before, the chances I take an interest in them are rather high (except for Jurina). Yokoyama Yui, Ichikawa Miori and Chikano Rina were the latest to pop up on my radar. At this rate it's becoming easier to pick the girls I don't like than to try narrow down a top 5~20.

[droopy10]

Which ones am I...

9. the Downloader - though I have bought at least 100,000yen worth of AKB48 stuff, probably the same for alot of people on here

18. “the fickle one” - moeno and mariko-sama are my favs/oshimen but after that it seem I "like" a different member every week

19. “the age watcher” - but its opposite for me. I prefer the older members 17 and above.

[Medusa]

Yay!
for me...

1. the old school - i just love to LOVE AKB48

5. the pervert - hehehe

9. the downloader - just 1 keyword "download"!!!!

not to :

15. the graduater - i hate graduated

[Lyrad]

just thought i'd contribute as well ^^

well my own personal categories i feel i fall into:

#1 the old school
well im abit of this. i supported them ever since keibutsu but i noticed their catchy "aitakatta" back in 06'

#8 the stage son over enthusiast
i always liked the unit songs like kuroi tenshi and generally smaller unit songs during concerts. i like singles but theyre really played all the time so my attention goes to the stage songs more.

#9 the downloader
pretty much.

#10 the stalker
i lurk in maeda's blog

#14. “the left behind”

>> hey akimoto wtf u totally forgot about fujie while pushing her halfway! ---> i created this sentence so yea exactly how i feel.

#21 the senbatsu only
not that i dont like the other girls (maeda ami ###### yeah.) but i think that the senbatsu girls are really there for a reason. have u watched team dragon performance? wow. no "weakest" link there lolkek

#26 akb owns h!p hard
yea i think some girls should just move over from the sinking boat. like maimi. (i used risako cuz of all the ravenous illogical fans she has.)

[itsmiina]

Haha.
And that Aki-P picture is pretty epic.

6. “the talent-centric”
>> i only like my members based on how well they dance or sing why should anything else matter?

11. “the casual of casuals”
>> Wait u mean theres more than just acchan and that really tall and short girl behind her?

17. “the akb purist”
>> what’s this ske vermin doing on ma single wtf how can dis be called an akb single then it doesn’t make sense.

6. Sort of... ? Haha.
It's not that I only like talented members, but talent does help in making me become a fan.

11. Yeah. D:
Even after a couple of months, I can match name to face to only about 25 AKB members.
And I seem to "know" the personalities of only about 15 AKB members?
:EDIT: Oh, now I seem to know all the members... have to work on SKE now...

17. LOL. Not to an extreme extent, but this has always made me go "... wut the?"
SKE already releases their own singles... AKB singles should feature AKB members.
(Not that I don't adore Rena...)

3. “The anti-frontgirl”
>> i hate acchan i dont know why. oh wait, now i’m supposed to hate yuko. death to squirrels!

I don't understand this... I've never heard a good reason for disliking Acchan.
Why all the Acchan hate? D:

[Momomochi]

The following ones fits me strangely!! This is too hilarious~

8. “the stage song over-enthusiast”
>> Hey what no your like so shallow man, i dont do singles. Stage songs are where its at dude.

9. “the downloader“
>> yeah of course i own some AKB goods hold on let me grab my hard disk and hook it up for ya.

18. “the fickle one”

20. “The team player”

26. “the AKB owns H!P hard but I still like Risako”
>> hey woah, yes I was a H!P fan but how can you still support them when they wish they could be in AKB instead AND get away from Mitsui Aika?

[~asianqueen~]

LOOOLZ that was such a fun and HILARIOUS read!

I guess I'm #11.
I just like a few of their songs so far. (River and Iiwake Maybe) I don't even know names. *sweatdrop*
So yeah, I'm just a casual listener to some stuff.
