A nice comparison of live performances (minimal doctoring) of the three most recognizable names in the idol industry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTbR-jfRvoM

And of course, like Lurkette said, it's just an introduction. There's limits to how much you can add into an introductory video really. If you like idols, you can probably find something to like from all groups if you just take your time. They all got something to offer :)

Acchan's got a lovely voice, she's not a bad singer but she's definitely not one of the best to come out of AKB. The ones Krusha mentioned are great examples of some of AKB's best.

Krusha, where did I said Acchan is better than the cherry picked people you listed. I was asking if anyone of your favorites can actually do a live solo concert like the one Acchan did. And sorry about my meager knowledge of other idols. I don't spend most of my waking hours following idols. One awesome artist I like is all I need.

The definition of the word "selfie" is changing right before my eyes and I really don't understand it.

Well, as a linguistics major, I do understand it (one generation makes the word, a different one uses it with no communication between the two), but it seems silly. It's going from "a photo one takes of oneself" to "a photo of one person, regardless of who took the photo." I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up to mean "a photo of people." Granted, it will probably disappear, as many of these words fall out of fashion. I wonder if this is how people felt when...

ohh i've never heard it being used for a one person photo :/ only self-taken.. weird. maybe it's just the few dumb people that you've encountered? xD

Nah, it's almost entirely people who are ten years younger than me saying it. It's enough to be a trend.

Hm, back to lurking for a while, I think. I'll be around if anyone needs to speak with me.

I'll still be doing the S/m 2nd gen blog translations, though, for my own enjoyment.

Hearing that some people have already pre-ordered the Xbox One is genuinely disturbing to me.

Maybe it's just because of Halo
Or maybe Titanfall (but that'll be out on PC too, a high end PC is costly though)

Gosh darn it, I want that birthday shirt. Just let me win it, YAJ. Pretty please.

Can I ask which birthday T-shirt it is ? I hope you will be able to have it :)

Inoue Yuriya of HKT48. I'm not much of a fan of the 48 groups, but she's cute and her b-day shirt looks really cool, just like a normal shirt. However, I'm not sure I'm willing to pay as much as this other person is for it, especially if I actually want to wear it :P

HMV shoppers might be interested in the Idol Gakuen Campaign 2013: http://www.hmv.co.jp/fl/10/715/1/

Yuriya's appeal video evokes far too much sympathy in me. I hope she gains a reasonable amount of popularity someday, for the sake of her confidence.

No, Inoue from HKT. Stylish, clearly wants to be an idol and tries her best at G+ to make an impact, but just seems painfully shy and unconfident when she has to speak. It melts my cold, icy heart slightly.

Ohh, stupid me. I thought you meant Yuria. Yeah... There's many of those girls. Some gets their breakthrough, others remain unnoticed...
Jun 01 2013 08:08 PM -
Lurkette
Well, getting people to learn who she is would be the first step, haha. Her name isn't Meru or Mio so she and the rest of the HKT KKS are more or less unknown... As long as she seems happy, it's fine by me, but yeah, definitely seems much more shy compared to everyone else.

I'm sure many will disagree with me, but in listening to older S/mileage b-sides and album songs, I truly believe that they would be better with 2nd gen.

Except no, I never turn that bias off. All songs could be improved with S/mileage 2nd gen.

The smileys might make you sound... I don't know it doesnt always work
But to me you do come off as kind never angry!

You sound specially irritated when disagreeing with someone, I think it's just a case of carefully choosing words/expressions.
I've seen you're nice, maybe it's just that you want to be seen strong?

I just have a very intimidating sort of presence, I suppose. Rarely angry, though. Mostly just sassy.

My last undergraduate class is on Monday. At 5 PM. This is going to be painful.

I always skipped any late lectures if they were changed from their original time.

Looking at the MM spring setlist and wondering which current b-side will make it to the DVD, if either of them do. I'm torn. Which does everyone else want to see, Tokimeke or Seifuku?

See, I want to see the high-school+ group perform more, but you just know Seifuku is going to be so adorable.
