As much as I love how Aimi is getting attention from Western media, it's sad how ignorant people can be and start taking her too seriously. It's not like she's trying to start the apocalypse...

[SunnyBunny]

The 'making of' of Aimi is also one of the trends on Dutch Youtube.

It's not saying much, but it's still pretty awesome :')

I can't can believe SKY NEWS was slow behind the news
http://news.sky.com/...116023204?f=rss

They must've showed it on TV as well Dx

yes apparently her name is Amy not Aimi /facepalm sky news

[°Cal.Mer.Sac]

why do they think that all fans were fooled? i honesty think that more than half of the fans would have noticed that something was off about her. oh well... its not like the japanese dont report things about other countries and get things wrong.

[LonelySoldier]

I definitely agree. Those overseas newswriters seems to look down on this fandom, or maybe even 'Japanese inventions' in general...
It just reminds me of that time when people are really really looking down on otaku...

Why wasn't eguchi have some participation in the Seibu Dome performance of Aisu no Kuchizuke....
I hope, other than her name in romaji, has some existence in the PV

EDIT: on the last day of the concert, according to akbjournal, EGUCHI AIMI IS REAL! SASAKI YUKARI IS EGUCHI AIMI IN OUR REALITY!!! HAHAJA. Basically she is once again confirmed as the voice of Aimi, which we already knew, but the news threw me off a bit saying Sasaki is the real Aimi lol

[Mei.ka~]

^ Yup! There are pics of her as Aimi on this TH article:

Haha, I just saw pictures of Aimi from the concert on the picboard, and I was like "eh?! What?! She's real?!"

[Snapple]

Nice to see a Kenkyuusei being promoted though. Get rid of that stupid wig and she'd be really pretty.

[ｌａｌａ]

I wonder if Sasaki Yukari will play Aimi in the PV then.

Wish they'd done a Miku though when she was performing at Animelo

[Krusha]

They should just promote Yukarun to Team 4 already, because that'd make me real happy

[Noriega]

Give her the eguchi Aimi character. That will give her something none of her senpais or fellow members possess.
The Eguchi fan/hate base will definitely be behind her automatically. Plus if she's in the PV, we have a trainee as the center position accompanied with the media Senbatsu members. The center! Oooh THE SPIRIT OF EGUCHI AIMI HAS BLESSED THIS CHILD!!! lmaooooo

[Undirrast]

She's really lucky then... Sometimes we're happy that these girls get the spotlight, but there are still girls behind there working so hard but could barely only get a few bit of spotlights. All girls are not born equal

By the way, don't you think it's better that she gets an "ace" position or center position in Team 8 rather than in Team 4?

[Noriega]

I wonder how long that will take, the creation of T8. Depending on the time, I wish she join either. If she was in T4, wouldn't she become the ace of the group though? Either 4 or 8, she be an ace anyway.....even if she "transferred" to nmb *cough*

[goratnik]

Short clip:

Forget Eguchi for a moment: I must know who she is! Look, two months gone and I still return to that clip. Badly too short to be found quickly in all those SHSTs (over 40 eps so far, if any badass joker used fragment from older), and watching one by one... well, I currently wait for better knowledge of 日本語 But she still returns to mind. Could anyone help?

It took four years to create team 4, so waiting for team 8 may be a bit... long...

The pv for Aimi-chan CM song

Aisu no Kuchizuke

Check this out:

It's a promotion of their latest concert DVD.

During 1:30 you can see "Aimi"

Who's that girl?

Last time we checked it was Yuko who was Aimi's body.

I don't believe Japan's CG technology is so awesome they would edit a face so flawlessly while she's moving that much.

That is AKB KKS's Sasaki Yukari aka the "voice" of Eguchi Aimi. She wore special make up to try to look like Aimi at the concert. Right after the performance, Takamina said that she wasnt the REAL Aimi, and to continue to support Aimi-chan.

Well done, then... I thought about the girl who did the voice but I had no idea who she was or what she looked like. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Noriega]

It looks like Aimi-chan is graduating ......lol
