When 48 go USA, it's the key senbatsus like Minegishi & Kojima

But when come here leh?? Uncle's Ami Maeda. That's it. Maybe a captain like Akimoto Sayaka if we f***ing HENG.

[Ares13]

^ .. Lol

Dunno ..

But even if they send their top 16 here ...
It doesnt matter to me cos I got no oshimen in the top16 ...
And. ..
It's doesn't matter to you cos you wouldn't go see them anyway ...

And Minegishi or Miichan is no longer a key senbatsu ..
Her popularity has slided ...

And Sayaka .. Come many times already ..

Pure give away that you have not been follow .. Lol

[Bhem]

Agree with uncle. Come here senbatsu or not it we still enjoy the concert

[kantutanTayo14]

And. ..
It's doesn't matter to you cos you wouldn't go see them anyway ...

Pure give away that you have not been follow .. Lol

Well unless they stop lip syncing I find myself unable to appreciate their product

Spoiler

Warning: video is unlisted. Be care how you share it

[Ares13]

^ .. well at least around 20K people you can hear charming away know how to enjoy it ...

oh .. btw ..
For AKB48 ... Tokyo Dome the place that's you been talking about has already been decided ...just that the date is unknown..

Finally .. As i said ... I can't really explain much about this ...

One funny thing is ... I realise actually a lot of people don't know or don't realise they are lip syncing or its just not in their minds ...

For us H!P fans ... we know ..and we are mindful of that .. but turn it off during concert ...
mainly ... because its a idol show ...

To me .. is not you are unable to appreciate their product because of lip syncing ...
but you just simply don't like them ...

very simple fact is .. if AKB start singing for real and no matter how good ... you wouldn't like them anyway ...

anyway .. you are just avoiding their product and when you do watch it ... you are fighting it ...
no love means no love ...

basically ..going back to the beginning ... for those of us who end up liking the 48 are the one that really gave them a fair chance ...
a fair chance for them to charm us ...

Like NGZK46 .. i don't like them ... I don't like the idea of Aki-P creating a rival for himself ...
I don't like the way they are like the going back to the beginning of AKB ...
I don't like the hype ... especially by all the 48 fans I know ...

But I gave them a fair chance ...
and I still don't really like that group ..

but I found the gem ... or finding someone you like ...
its a old basic getting into a group thing .. find the one you like ...
I found her ... I found her while watching TV in Japan ...

She was one of the 3 girls that was senbatsu for the1st single but dropped for the coming 2nd single ...

Kawamura Mahiro ...

LOL and guess what .. she was a member of Up Front Kansai agency and won the 2008 UFA Kansai audition

but anyway .. she is out of the 2nd single .. so I am in no rush for NGZK46 ... but I know I will get there ...
cos I gave them a fair chance ...

but note .. I still don't give any chance to quite a lot of idol groups ... ( including the now very successful Momoclo, Passpo .. etc )
it just a matter of me and my preference ...

So its really up to you ... to really wanting to give them a fair chance ...
but till that day ... you may never appreciate them ... lol

==================

Oh news .. you got to not into jpop to not know that Acchan (Maeda Atsuko) the face and No.1 of AKB48 is going to graduate ...
but I just put in in here anyway ...


==================

Edit :

@kantutanTayo男爵

^ just a question ...

If you are the producer of a already no.1 girl group if not the no.1 pop group in Japan
And you look at the world map ...

Would you spot this little dot .. And say ..
This is the place I will open my 2nd oversea shop or 3rd shop ...
And this is the place I open my 1st cafe ...
And this is the place I open my 1st oversea theater ..

Please .. The only other person I know that have done something like this has to go back to Raffles ...

People has come to your door steps and you don't bother ...
And you only care about people who don't bother about you even if you go to their door steps ?

I am not asking you to switch sides ...
All of us here are still H!P fans ... I am a even bigger fan of MM now than ever before ...

But you should give people at least a bit of chance fairly ...

Anyway .. I know you do have idol love cos you have talk positively about stuff that has nothing to do with singing too ..
So it's up to you to open your heart ...

[kantutanTayo14]

You mean people who come to our door steps just aren't the people I'd bother with

It's just that H!P/UF got to me 1st, & got me 1st
So when the 3letters48 come, it's "oh, he's taken already, nothing left"
(and w/o "idol love" I won't be in H!O in 1st place; besides letters48 got their singers too like Masuda & Takamina)

So the reason for liking is because of ability to like, you can talk about giving fair chance, but liking cannot be forced one

And I really draw the line on lip syncing: I don't care if it's Aichan who's doing it
That practice in a performance is scamming fans who buy tickets, 'cause they might as well just listen to the CD/mp3s

[Ares13]

^ ..LOL ..
nvm then ... not all of us can open our hearts to more ...lol

You do know that all of us here are technically taken by H!P 1st ....

but only some of us have the heart to give other a chance...

some of us gave half-hearted chance ...
like when AKB48 1st concert here ...

Kurosagi went and came out saying its not as high as a MM concert ...
fact is .. I never asked him to compare them with MM ...

anyway ... it was pretty high to us at the 2nd row back then ...
we broke our lightsticks .. mine went flying to dunno where ...
and we will so high that I think we scare Mayuyu ...

talking about Mayuyu ..its her Birthday today ..and my Birthday too .. lol

So anyway .. if you don't bother ... then just be don't bother ...
don't try to do half half .. try to fight fight .. its wasting your time ..and it makes you look bad ...

Like asking whats Acchan's dream ...
Any tom dick and harry AKB fan know is to be an actress ... LOL

anyway .. you got it right if you think AKB is not a bunch of singers ..
because they are not .. most of them didn't say they dream to be a singer ...

only few are like Wasamin ..who want to be an Enka singer ...
being such low ranked in AKB ...she already got her dream ...
She is already got the best selling Enka single for the year .. i think ...

There are many of them who wanted to be a voice actesses ...most are really low ranked ...
but there are not many chance out there in the anime industry ... ???
so no problem .. AKB use their popularity and power to produce their own anime that will feature all of them ...

AKB or the 48 is about their journey to their dream ... and not their journey to be a successful idol or to be a great singer ...
that's the thing you must understand ...

AKB is actually very different from H!P the only few things they have in common is they are under the "idol" category ...

[Maidio]

^ Happy birthday Uncle. Haha. The pic you posted on SGP made some people think that you celebrated for her birthday, only..

[Bhem]

@ares13 - Lol I am amazed at how much you are willing to type for this. It's like how you like Ami and I like Airi.
Both group has girls chasing after their dream, both group have different speciality.

@kantutanTayo男爵 - in case you haven't notice, we know they are lip syncing and we are still paying for it.
Many of their fans are still paying for it while knowing that fact.


At any rate,
xxx48 group has enough fans already having 1 more doesn't change anything. So no point conflicting over this any further
Okay, back to ninja mode

[Ares13]

^
^ ... LOL ...
this pic ..


this is the 2nd year I am doing this .. lol
I have commented .. admitting that I reuse my own Birthday cake ..

anyway .. I just post it .. because I haven't seen people do this for some time ...
Its like they dunno or never seen it before ...
they should see some of those really scary and creepy wota in H!P does it ...
Its like a alter or temple .. OMG ...

=====

^
LOL ..
actually I am repeating myself .. think I said that many times ...

but in any case ...
just don't want him to be a main stream jpop idol fan for so long...even much longer than most of us and never experience anything except a bunch of videos ...
and to finally experience a idol show ... its not our standard sit on a chair, close eyes listen to singing and fall asleep concert...
it does not get any easier or cheaper than this ...

Many many people especially here at H!O ...who would do anything to get to watch a show from anyone ...but they can't ...
and he is just wasting it ...

and now .. with less and less shows coming ...
you got the feeling .. its ending soon ...

when its gone ...
you can tell people you are into jpop idols for 15 years .. know everything inside out .. every well known group but never experience a show and try shouting and jumping for yourselves ..

to me .. that's sad ...
come on .. most of us may even be able to help get you in free ... (if you are lucky)
but you really got to make the 1st move .. then you will understand much much more ...
and that's only the beginner part ...

then there is the next level .. lesser known idols & underground idols ..
which some people I know are already there ...
Its really limitless ... don't be a frog in a small well ...
I am only at a pond .. some people are already at the lake ...

having great knowledge, many years of following but no experience ...
is like playing a game that you keep killing mobs that give no exp .. and you forever never level up ...

LOL ... sorry crappy paddy mood ...
hope you enjoy my inspirational writing ..

===========================================

EDIT :

^
and ps.

anyway .. I still like Airi ...
i never remove but only add .. and i can't remove if I want to because I can't do it ...

but honestly ...
Airi does take 2nd place to Ami ...

Airi is a real talent .. who dream to be a singer .. and i think she can ...

while Ami is pretty much not good anything ... she dream to be an actress ..
and she had taken part in audition for acting and failed before AKB ..
To me .. her acting is only so so ... but she finally got to act in a minor part in Majisuka Gakuen 2
I am not even sure she can get her dream ...

In the end .. I realise what attach me to them is not their talent ..
It's they are very good girls ... and good people is what I like ...

[kikilalaz]

Actually J-Rock got to me first before J-Pop. First J-Pop artist I liked was Utada Hikaru.
I like Fairies

[Ares13]

LOL ..

actually looking back .. this is the 1st song I like ...
This is the real thing that got me 1st ... LOL

I made my parents buy me many cassette tape with this song ... and I don't remember much about it ...
This song is 1978 .. and its not older than me ... LOL



The singer is Roman Tam the "Godfather of Cantopop" and he is not alive anymore ...

and the truth is ... what I like and who I like change over the years many many times ...

Unless you tell me you are still listening to the same thing since the day you 1st heard, know, & like music ...
then i will be really amazed ..

[dominique]

[Ares13]

Some time back .. i posted a SUPER GiRLS video ...

on the song I like a lot ... and it got me hooked to SUPER GiRLS ..

and I am still hooked ...

If I didn't get the timing wrong .. this is 1 year 3 months later ...
and they improved a lot ...

LOL ..the girl I like actually .. don't look as good as before .. but ... no matter .. I still like her lot ... lol

I really love this song .. Renai Rule and its a old song now ..

This is video is on 5th Feb .. its the show Akita Eri graduated ..


oh ... just in case you wonder if they sing for real ...
this is the last song they performed as 12 members .. its pure sadness.. even though the song is suppose to be happy happy


PS .

Funny ..seem that only I & ah-ger are the only 2 person or fans that bought the DVD in Singapore...
mainly because its a very expensive DVD .. 5000yen for 1 disc only ... its the most expensive 1 disc DVD i bought ...

and only the H!P fans bother to buy it seem ...

[ah-ger]

^
I know why u like the song....coz in front and ending is her solo line right?
I watched this concert dvd liao! They really improved a lot. Its a nice concert but but but...i got totally annoyed by the Akiba cheer. ITS SO ANNOYING!

They always sing live no matter how bad they sound.
I buy coz i said before....I will buy all versions they have except Mu-mo version.
So the singles....albums....dvds.... all i have..

[Ares13]

^ . oh .. the next single ...

SUPER GiRLS and C-ute is going to clash ...

I ordered the SUPER GiRLS +DVD ver. and bonus track ver.

I think really hard about buying C-ute but in the end .. i didn't ...
sorry ...

cos i am running short of cash .. i can only buy what i want more and not everything i want ..

so its 2-0 to SUPER GiRLS for me here ...

[ah-ger]

^

I havent order yet! I will order all 3 versions of supergirls. Hai......no choice swear before so must always get all the versions.
BTW....I think I know y u say Reira dont look good on this DVD. Actually all dont look so good. Reason is they were crying since rehearsal! See the footage after the concert. This is the 2nd performance so their eyes all look super swollen. The amazing part they only sound bad for the last 2 songs only. ( techically add together is ard 1 song half is egao no hane and half from Max otome) .
I am very impressed with Ruka! She cried until so chum in MAX otome front part but her solo part she did it beautifully!

I think I will buy the Airi solo version for this single...wait for tonight see Chisato version first...if not so nice then i will get Airi version. C-ute must buy this time. I love this song to the max!

[k0nk0n]

^ Ya, the part where Ruka did her solo is great. Stun abit when she did it soo well ah-ger do what she say as usual LOL!

I saw the video post on FB of the Airi ver~! LOL i been in the H!P shop listening to it but i dont know the name of this song till now. LOL it is nice~!!

Anyway the phone straps are back le~ see when you all free to get it~

[ah-ger]

^
Ruka has the best voice among the 12.
During audition and recording time, the producers always praised her for her singing.
Her voice also very unique. Once hear will not forget one. She also the most consistent among the 12 . Next consistent fella is Amita. Yes.. u did not see wrong...Amita....amazingly she doesnt really go offkey with her helium singing.

[Ares13]

^
.. Ruka is my 2nd fav .. actually I like her base on her cute face ..

ya.. her voice is unique .. quite husky but nice to listen to ...

and I think ...

ya .. like what ah-ger said ... that's the reason she got a solo song in the 2nd album .. lol ..
