I'm still not crazy about 3d but the site could really use some fresh blood.

Thought as much.

It's ok, really; as long as this board is moderated and newcomers abide to the rules at the rest of /tc/, it could be really good for both sides. If the right time ever comes, we could even discuss in here about how this entire thing can be similar to 2D love and good against feminism.

I keep forgetting about Aidol subs. Thanks for reminding me.

They uploaded a subbed version of the ouendan speech yesterday: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1yyjbu_aidol-akb48-37th-single-senbatsu-elections-ouendan-segment-english-sub_people

www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/20-hugely-popular-musicians-who-havent-gotten-famous-in-america-yet-20140610/akb48-19691231

Found this on my feed.

>>31
My bet is they're going to perform a huge show at the Tokyo Olympics opening and conquer the world by storm from then on. It might not be what our world deserves, but it is what it needs.

>>35
I think either the group won't exist by then, will be very different or the west still won't be ready for them as they're now (most likely, they'll go against it private Mii-chan style and worst all over again). Unless BioArt gets trendy by then, a state of the art Vocaloid live performance would have better chances of being accepted than this army of underage living dolls.

>>35
men thats must be legendary, really hope that the group still alive then, even if not participate in the olympics i really hope that the group still exists because there future for that, komiyama, sakura, nako-miku, meru, hillary even jurina, thats is my bet for senbatsu 2019

I guess we're not getting the second ep of Hokamina, right?

>>39
>Hilary
>Komiharu
I seriously doubt it
Nana (Okada and Owada), Miki, Mako, Ryoha, maybe Fuuko is a safer bet. Even Yukarun has a bigger chance than those two in entering senbatsu.

>than this army of underage living dolls
I disagree.

The only group that best be attributed the word 'doll' is a certain Korean group -- this other group is almost near-identical and with genetic perfection it's genuinely frightening.

Yes, the world isn't ready for it because tbh the world only gets to hear mostly American music.

Having Chori and Maachun on akbingo was fun

http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/akb48/news/f-et-tp0-20140611-1315634.html Apparently management are looking for alternatives to HS events.

Am I the only one who thinks Nogizaka's new single to be a bit lackluster compared to the previous 2? Did Aki-P do it on purpose 'cause he knows it'd sell anyways thanks to Rena? Is Nogizaka allowed here?

>>39
>Nako-Miku
I wonder if they'll even become that popular. Their popularity seems to just come from their age, what happens when they get older?

Haruppi and Mio are much more likely in addition to Sakura and Meru who you already mentioned.

>>50
I think NakoMiku will be pretty once they grow up. Or at the very least, only Miku.

>>29
I've already loved this speech without even knowing what they were saying. But now that I've seen it translated, my god, this has to be the most motivational speech I've ever seen. I had goosebumps the entire time.

>>49
I don't see a reason why they aren't allowed here. But I really like NFE, KizuKata>NFE>Barette for me.

>>29
>subbed ouendan speech
Not sure why so many people were curious about this.
Surprised they even bothered trying to sub it. Also, holy shit, no capcha.

What an adorable rascal Tano is.

>>49
Management is playing it safe this single. They probably rushed it because of Rena's conflicting schedule and the 3rd stage looming by. They also brought back Eto, Inoue, Saito and Hoshino, who fit the "idol-like" image to help carry this single.

Management could also be saving resources for their 10th single and upcoming album.

A Nogizaka General would be nice.

You're not the only one.

I also find the song underwhelming compared to the two, and I can't help but think of the much more addictive Girls' Rule during the chorus. Hoping that the B-sides would be better.

>>49
PV wise, yea it's a bit lackluster, it looks nice though and so do the girls.

The song, I like it, it's fun to listen to, I prefer it over barette.

>>49
>Nogizaka allowed here?
Sure, sorry. Just added that to the precarious OP.

Damn, Mariri: get serious!
AKBs can't be a Yamato Nadeshiko for long.

>I’m really annoyed with the inappropriate zombie scene that she was in. I was about to throw up watching how much the violence shown in this drama. I’m disappointed, I will not ever watch it anymore.
Sailor Zombie is MG3 in zombie clothing? I had a good laugh today.

>>111
Which episode is that person referring to?

>>115
The one with zombified Miki.

>>62
>>109
She broke beautifully.

>>111
Speaking of Majisuka, when do you think we're getting MG4, if it all?
If we do get MG4, would everyone prefer a continuation of MG3?

>>124
MG3 ended in a cliffhanger so Im sure there's a sequel despite the bad acting.

>>62

>tfw she's old enough to be Hilary's mom

Nice of Hilary to console her though. Still, I can't help but think Mariri is out of place.

>>162
>Mariri is out of place.
Even disregarding her age, she really is awkward; but I guess that's what makes this the more interesting.

What really gets me is realizing that I'm closer to Mariri's age than to the average member's. Dang.

>>177
I find her very funny honestly. I'm enjoying her stay at AKBINGO.

>>181
>I'm enjoying her stay at AKBINGO
She cannot say the same right now, but someday it'll be a valuable memory.

>>162
Heh... If I remember correctly, before Mariri there was this one-half of Pink Lady who did a CM with the girls.

Why is Sayanee such a disgusting Coreaboo?

http://dai.ly/x1tuf6j

>>193
there's some nice manhwa .

I just watched Ren'ai Sousenkyo for the first time, and boy do I regret not starting to watch it sooner now. It's super cute.

This is the episode I watched, starring Rie and Mako: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1z6l4d_140612-%E6%81%8B%E6%84%9B%E7%B7%8F%E9%81%B8%E6%8C%99_creation

That's also a pretty nice dailymotion channel to subscribe to. It's not all AKB related, but they do upload quite a lot of AKB and pretty quick too.

>>193
I know it's Korea, and I'm not a big fan of Korea either, but I can totally relate, and I think it's commendable. I started studying Japanese too while working full-time, and I bet my schedule wasn't as packed as hers.

If you like something enough to spend your little free time studying for it, then that's a really great thing in my opinion, even if it's Korean.

Hilary has a boy in her room. I ain't even mad.

It's pretty shocking to see the level of degeneracy the /jp/ thread has descended into since most of the better posters left. I really wish they'd let it die so as not to further dirty AKB's image on that board.

I screamed like a little girl in that episode where Juri is confessing to a boy.

Juri is a cutie.

We'll call the thread there not AKB but Manface General.

Anyway, Yuko just showed up on today's coverage of the World Cup opener.

>>211
Can't be helped. The jannys there prefer shitposters and now they got it. They didn't give a shit about the quality of the discussion and neither should we. I'm nostalgic about what /jp/ used to be but nostalgia can only take you so far in the face of harsh reality.

I wonder if that guy ever got a reply for his feedback. Knowing how retarded they are, probably not.

>>215
Dear god. She's in brown town now. PRAY FOR YUKO!

>>218
She'll be only there for a couple of days then jet back home because asides from the obvious vacation she still has hell a lot of work to do post-grad, such as TV dramas and hosting.

>>215
It's winter there now, but so close to equator I don't know that counts. Hope her blood doesn't boil, in every way.

Doesn't the 48 group have a member that is a halfie Brazilian?

>>222

>>221
She moved out immediately. Things weren't looking good on the ground, what with riot police somewhere beating up protesters.

>>218
Heh, now look at the thread back there. It's practically his now, so he'll spam it up until moot decides it's clogging his servers with that cholesterol.

People change, I guess.

>>212
I'm so glad people are noticing her now after so many years. I've liked her since the 1830m concert.

Is the Sailor Zombie drama going to be like the video game? Will they find another antidote that actually works? This drama turned dark fast. It went from dancing zombies to this.

>>343
I tried watching the first episode and it didnt interest me. Does it get better?

Natsu looking cute as fuck

>>357
Nice hover text there.

I would really love to grovel on her feet now.

http://i.4cdn.org/jp/1402670327968.webm

Can anyone tell me what performance that is? Shit she's hot in there.

>>367
I like how it sounds even though it's similar to their other songs.

>>368
Warukii obviously. But if you're asking which concert, I'm just as clueless.

Apparently it was performed at least two times on their 7 Prefecture tour. Hoping they release the DVD/BDs release details soon.

Another Yuko's special (date with Takamina) subbed now:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1tmrat_aidol-140321-mujack-oshima-yuko-graduation-special_people

Smashing Pumpkins BGM was a nice surprise.

>>403

Man, that montage of pics from Yuko and Takamina's from the beginning; so many change.

Also saw Yuko's final theater performance. No more Heavy Rotation ;_;

>>403
That episode is so sweet, with Takamina's teary letter to Yuko. Also, Takamina brought Yuko to a restaurant that she said is hers. Is that true or is it just a joke?

>>418
I'd like to know, too. Also, those Oedo onsen reminded me of that indoors festival place at Genshiken Nidaime (Vol 13 Ch 092)... could it be?

I wish the subtitle fags would leave.

>>428
Go to japanese forums, then. After all, these are english spoken threads aimed mostly to foreign fans. On the other hand, I wish the "fag" and such 4chan based slang would stop here, but oh well.

Not sure if getting cuter or my standards are getting lower...

>>437
I think she's just REALLY good at taking pictures of herself. And that her teeth aren't showing.

>>437
I noticed that my standards have dropped considerably since I started following akb

>>437
>Not sure if getting cuter or my standards are getting lower...
She's getting better at making herself look pretty.
Pic related is Oku Manami in 2006 and 2011.

>>442
Does anyone know if she has any public communication? Like a G+, Twitter account etc.

>>446
Nope. She's completely off the grid, and would only show up in rare circumstances such as Yuko's graduation.

>>449
jesus, the oricon charts have become irrelevant now that nobody but idol fans bother to buy cds

>>459
You know what the sad part is, that this somehow is going to enable people to pass off legitimately unpopular groups as "successful" by hiding behind flimsy sour grape excuses such as "a-at least they did it honestly". Eventually any show of strength on part of their fans (such as CD sales) will be disregarded completely no matter how hard it is to ignore and we'll regress back to a time when the grade of popularity is decided by second party news articles that reek more of wishy washy PR than honest market reporting.

To be sincere, I'm already starting to see this attitute toward other idol groups as well, especially from normies with not much clue of what's actually going on behind. Lemme say that some still believe akushukai was invented by AKB.

Friendly advice: take it easy with the Youtube Embed function. This site isn't as powerful and threads with lots of them normally ended up unusable, taking way to much time to load.

While we're at friendly advices, there's a script called Dollchan. I mainly use it for a german imageboard, but it seems to be working here as well. Adds quick reply, auto refresh with notice in the tab, backtracking with hover view of the quoted posts and other shit. There currently is a bug though, you can't upload files with it on firefox at least. You can easily disable the addon with one click, make your post, and then enable it again. It also embeds youtube video itself.

She doesn't want to be the part of the scene anymore whatsoever, apparently now preferring to be at the sidelines, cheering her former workmates.

Basically she was like, "I'm getting tired of this shit, I want out."

More likely she got burned big-time by 2ch.

I believe that's a problem on the browser side not the site. Doesn't mater if it's /tc/ or google, trying to load a page with hundreds of youtube videos on it will fuck your shit up.

seems like 4chan was abandoned by most of you, i copy paste a question

anyone have experience buying sleeve collection? im a bit newfag in these things, i saw a 60 pack for 6$, isn´t too cheap?, and really worth that cards?

>>556
Aren't sleeves just card holders?

>>559
i suppose that but at the same time i see these packs be called "itano tomomi" for example and confused me

>>563
I'm assuming that the Tomochin pack would contain Tomochin's picture that cover's the back of your card?
What I really think is that what you're actually looking for are trading cards like this ones here http://www.enskyshop.com/products/3576.

>>556
Yeah, that seems too cheap for 60 trading cards.

>>564 is probably correct. It could also be knockoff cards or just cards of unpopular members so you should read through the description. What site are you looking at it on?

Those guys sell their good at insanely high prices. Try this other reseller and maybe ask for a rebate on shipping costs if your combined purchase gets too high. Worked for me a few times, when I bought over 200 dollars worth of cards and CDs.

Sadly this reseller lacks older photos,though everything is much cheaper

yep. 25$ for photo, r u serious?
so yes the best option would be save some money and bought dozen of them in the shop of that guy in ebay looks more cheaper

Matsui Jurina injures her fingers during the rehearsal for SKE48's special live.
On June 16, idol group SKE48 member Matsui Jurina was injured during the rehearsal for the group's "AiiA SKE48 Special live" held at AiiA Theater Tokyo, leading to the cancellation of her appearance on the live.
According to a source close to the group, Matsui injured the middle finger and ring finger of her right hand, but it's unknown if those fingers are fractured.
At the beginning of the live, Matsui appeared on the stage, and explained to the fans, "I was really looking forward to this, and participated in the rehearsal happily with vigor, but I got injured during the rehearsal, so I can't come on the stage after this." She then apologized to them in a tearful voice for not being able to participate on the live.
This live was a special event for mobile card game "SKE48 Passion For You", and approximately 800 audience who were chosen attended the live.

I dunno, tripfag. Why are you so desperate to repost the same link on both boards even considering that the content has nothing to do with your premise?
Also unless this is your first day on the Japanese Internet you should know better than to source a net tabloid that everyone takes as a joke and which makes no effort hiding the fact that the "anonymous confessions" are just creative retellings of conversations they saw on 2ch the day before.

That 'Why the fuck did I graduate for?' face...

She was really the best, but honestly I think she's gonna go down like everyone else. The charm only lasts for as long as you're AKB; after that, you're just the nth fish in a huge pool of disposable random entertainers.

>>641
I think she made the best decision with leaving when she did. AKB is still on top and Yuko was the most prolific member. She can survive for a while with her fans and reputation. It's better than hanging on and losing fans and relevance like no3b are doing.

Did AKB's official channel take down the eizo center videos? I just wanted to watch the luka luka night fever video again.

I think the day Takamina graduates, I am done with this whole AKB thing. My heart won't be able to take it anymore. The only thing that still keeps me going is the fact that Haruna, Takamina, Minegishi and Sae Chan are part of it (Granted she left to disgusting SH48 or whatever that chink shit is called).

For the heck of it:

One of the first, if not the first, appearance of AKB48 on tv. Four months after Team A was created, 3 months before their first tv performance. March 22, 2006.

>>720
Kayachan was the very first AKB imouto.

>>732
Works

Paruru is going to star in a recruitment for the Japan Self-Defense Forces if I got that article right.

Well done, Tohno!

You also got rid of the Ken-sama thread; glad to see you really are monitoring this board.

Get well soon Miichan.

Can request a webm of 'Round two: give it to Mariri'?

>>741

Sasshi is so goddamn hot

>>747
She's quite attractive, actually.

I hope you guys are all supporting your oshimen in the Oshimen Support Event.

When are request hour 2014 dvds going to appear

>>752
If you mean AKB, BD's are out

>>742
Damn, that picture in Wikipedia is nasty.

>>745
Shimada and Miyu are so cute, why can't they be more popular?

wao

Ah yes... Nicovideo Live, the leading company in market research.

>one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases
Fuck...I really don't care for her that much, but I hope she gets through that.

Already!? She must have realized that group isn't going anywhere.
>On June 18, idol group AKB48 Team 8 member Okubora Chinatsu, who is Gifu prefecture's representative, announced her graduation from the group.

>>742
It's been really hard for her since last year. For me it's sad, cause I think she's the only fallen member who showed honest contrition from the beginning and was given the coldest shoulder by everyone. She may never get back all she lost, but I hope she reaches some balance and finds peace in her AKB life before everything ends.

Autosage test post, don't mind me.

Something about girls in fitted hats really gets to me. Add Paru and I think I've just died. For fucks sake man.

>>772
Japan has it all.

>>778
>Webm isn't working for me.
right-click on it and open it in another tab.

>>624
I honestly though she had died, lol. She appeared in like the first 20 episodes of AKBINGO and then no one said a word about her again and she never appeared in anything else.

I read about her and it said she graduated in like 2012, but what the fuck was she doing all the time before?

>tfw graduating is awful because they all just fade into obscurity

>Kasai hasn't even posted on her twitter for like a year now
>Itano, disgusting S x W x A x G shit
>Acchan hasn't updated instagram in like 2 years
>Yuko barely fucking doing anything with that Brazil cup shit

I JUST WANT THEM TO STAY TOGETHER, PLEASE COME BACK. I WILL BUY ALL YOUR PHOTOBOOKS AND SHIT, JUST DON'T LEAVE ME.

>>780
I understand Mariko's fashion brand bombed as well.

Enjoy your idols while you can, guys. Once the AKB magic spell finishes at graduation, the world turns pitch black all over again.

>>780
Meetan spent 2 years in SDN48 until they all graduated. After that you could still follow her at http://ameblo.jp/ohorimegumi/
Itano has a tv show and updates her twitter. + SWAG
Maeda just posts pics directly on twitter so no need for instagram. She's in a bunch of doramas and movies.
Yuko just graduated and is still everywhere, and has her tv show with Ariyoshi.
Kasai promoted her last single on tv but don't expect to see her much in varieties after the Ougon Densetsu debacle.

They don't really fade into obscurity, they just don't have the AKS machine to promote them anymore. Of course if your only source of info is the general AKB fandom, it'll seem like they vanished.

>>765
1500 yen for a month's subscription? That's not bad actually. It's more expensive than other things I've subscribed to but AKB48 has like the most content ever. So yeah.

An AKB Channel for 1500円. I would pay it. I really wish DMM would stop region blocking the 48 group live on demand subscriptions. I know there are ways around it, but the process is annoying.

Anyone else ボス fans here?

>>782
Hmm I see, I didn't even know about SDN48 lol. I'm fairly 'new' to the scene so I guess it's my bad for not knowing all the details.

I am happy that at least Yuko and Atsuko made it. I really liked Kasai, but I guess she's inevitably going to fade away after that debacle.

I see Mariko and Sayaka still doing stuff, just not sure what they're doing as I can't read Japanese, but I see pictures of them all the time.

I only really still follow AKB48 because I like Takamina, Haruna and Minegishi. I liked Sae-chan but she left to that Chinese thing.

Out of curiosity has anyone else here watched Q10 (The Drama with Maeda in it?) I thought it was really good, I hope she does more, I love seeing her beautiful face.

how long you think akb will still alive ppl?

>>803
Never heard of her but I am now. She's gorgeous. Why didn't you guys tell me?

>>808
aaaannd she's 13 years old. welp I guess I'm lolicon now. thanks guys

Is it possible to get the DMM vids somewhere in a resolution greater than 640x360?

>>807
Depends on a number of factors.

Now that a new center has been pretty firmly established, AKB can get a solid image/artistic direction again. They were kind of all over the place these past 2 years. This could signify a new renaissance for the group.

Regardless, AKB still has the theater to fall back on. Even if they slowly become nothing more than a mildly popular nostalgia act, they have the tools necessary to make as many comebacks as they want as long as they keep bringing in fresh blood and never lose the theater.

>>809
>welp I guess I'm lolicon now. thanks guys
>now
You always were. Don't blame us.

Don't know what those prizes are, but most of those seem to me like shoddy terror/sentai movies alright.

Tamako in Moratorium looks interesting, however; will give it a go.

>>848
Those are film festival prizes.

Kuroyuki Danchi is from the guy who made Ringu. Eight Rangers 1 and 2 are based on a skit/series by Kanjani Eight, a Johnny's group. It's kind like if they made big budget Majisuka Gakuen movies with special effects and acting lessons. I get that you might not like those types of movies but I wouldn't call either shoddy.

Tamako got #9 in Kimejun in their Top 10 Best Japanese Movies of 2013.

>>851
I would love a Majisuka Gakuen movie, I think it would make huge money.

>>835
I can kind of understand your excitement, but please remember that this isn't 4chan.

Also I wonder what non-japanese people would think of Toyota if they found out that they support a team of little girls who belong to a group where they do gravure at a very young age.

>>861

>>857
It was greentext and a reaction image obviously. Also pointing out things like those is actually encouraged by the mods.

>>919
I gotta admit Jurina's pun by the end was funny.

So Mayuyu's center song has already been announced, it's called Kokoro no Placard and will be used inside the new Baitoru commercial (you can hear some of it during the CM reel inside this video).

On other news, I took upon myself to archive all the member's writeups that are published on the Asahi Shibun in the ＡＫＢ的人生論 series because it was a simple pain in the ass that I could only access only 3 of them a day via subscription service.
For those of us who know Japanese and want to know what your oshi has got to say about themselves, have a nice read:

Yogi Keira announced today during Team N's show that she will graduate from NMB48.

The amount of likes on KojiMako's G+ posts have been comparable with those of Sakura lately.
I wonder if she'll be in senbatsu next year.

that's some waist on yuiri

>>933
It sounds pretty weak sauce.

Nana: she is manlier than me, at least.
Seina: instant suicide.
Sae: pretty much kept the entire thing's level.
Yuka: they weren't even trying...

Verdict: these kouhai need work. Komi needs to master the "interesting" euphemism and Mariri is just insane after eating worms.

Also: those poor Team 8 girls.

She's getting it next time.

>>988
I thought I was the only disgusted by Tano's act. LOL. It's a bit vindicating that Paruru and Miki felt the same way.

it rather fair and possible if you compare it to their net worths. But yeah if they are actually getting any of that is questionable.

That Aamin. Disregard sousenkyo ranking, acquire currency.

>>1012
No idea either. I only found this picture, but I don't know if there's more to that article than just the table.

>>1020
Googling this might help: アイドルの年収
But my Japanese is too bad for me to bother going through the links.

>>1011
This is so stupid. I saw Ami from E-Girls apartment on a show and it's smaller than mine and I make 25% of what she reportable makes.

>>1022
Maybe it's like with soccer players or other well-paid athletes: They won't be able to stay in the business forever, so they (if they're smart enough) save most of their money for when they're jobless.

Also apartments are most likely way more expensive in Japanese cities than where you live, unless you live in a Japanese city yourself of course. And there's that they might just prefer to spend their money on clothes and fancy dinners rather than on a bigger apartment.

>>1032
I'm not sure how they spend their money, but if they have to survive everyday life, of course budgeting is a big deal in the world's most expensive cities, they have to learn much about it by experience, and once in a while they'll splurge a bit.

With the exception of agency heads who have the lion's share from the record sale takings, only a few Japanese entertainment personalities on the top of the food chain will ever actually afford their own condo unit.

I need a 4K screen.

Just FYI taxes used to be public and at their peak MM made between 2000 and 5000man depending on the girl.

It'd be weird if Sayu makes as much now as Nacchi did back then considering how crazy popular she was, but then Japan is all about seniority.

>>958
That's a pity. I actually thought she would last longer as an idol. She was relatively cute.

Tomochin and autotune.

Mariko is going to be in a new drama.

She got them hidden for so long until that posting she made.

Hillary?? God almighty. I was starting to think she's kind'a sweet and now this...

Now I do envy her brother.

>>1042
holy maracas

>>1004
It's because Hilary and he grew up in America, and were taught English. Hilary didn't even start learning Japanese until a few years ago, and she is still learning now.

>>1042
Was wondering if it was an offshot from this year's Mizugi Surprise and went to G+ only to find out it's some private photos she posted because she mentioned about them on AntaDare.
It pains me to realize that in magazine gravures they'll still make her wear undershirts and short pants for some more time again.

That would explain why she did so bad at that Quiz 30 show early this month.

Even so calling the Last Supper "Last Dinner" was inexcusably dumb.

>>1054

I have no doubt that she knows the Fresco as The Last Supper, but I don't think she knows the name in Japanese, and it's not something that appears in daily conversation.

Who knows, it's probably all scripted anyways, haha.

This is only kinda related but I'll ask it anyways because I'm interested, but is Kanji usage linked to intelligence in Japan.

For example my Japanese sucks but I can understand a lot of some girls posts because they use barely any kanji, where as some girls use a bunch of Kanji and I can't understand anything so I just naturally consider them more intelligent.

Its probably more of a question for Japanese citizens but I'd thought I'd ask it because its been bugging me for a while.

>>1067
It's mostly education and preference. Using difficult kanji can make you hard to understand to younger fans. Of course, some are just kanji dumb.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji_kentei

>>1068
Yeah I thought as much,I was just thinking that there was some stigma attached to it.

>>1047
At least provide some background for your gossip shit instead of just copypasting from GeinoLabo.

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/8985214/

For once Shitzo was somewhat informative and balanced instead of being the garbage tabloid it always is. Apparently the problem with those kind of poppy is that after being imported in Japan in the 60s it started growing in the open like a normal wild flower in spite of all efforts by the government to completely eradicate it. Its seeds are spread by bird poo and may even end up in bags of natural fertilizers so nowadays you can sometimes spot some lone poppy growing at the edge of the street or in cracks of the road.
Some other TV guy got in trouble before because it started growing spontaneously in his garden.

Funny how they kept that in the LOD whereas STAP jokes are still "no good" for recording.

>>1064
Staged or not I was pretty impressed by the way Lemon figured out the answer about barbeque and infrared waves (?). Contrarily to her airheaded appearance she seems gifted with some great lateral thinking.
Wish they'd call AKB in the show some more times.

>>1014
It seems some friend told Kaotan about that, she replied on Gugutasu that she actually makes less than half of that.
The source of the list was Ex Max anyway, if you look up on Google you can already tell from the cover what kind of tabloid it is.

>>1073
Konami E3 2010

Ammin had some guy recognize her in public and she said she was happy about it.

Unfortunately, he did it by suddenly grabbing her arm and scaring the shit out of her.

Any idea why that guy Nacchan on H!O stopped uploading PON!? I loved that shit.

>>1080
Have you tried messaging him?

>>1083
I tried to but I can't open his profile. And if I try sending one, it says invalid recipient.

>>1073
Those are the eyes of a woman willing to kill for the center position.

I would still be thinking the nacchan uploader was just a china mirror bot but when nacchan left the group the person kept posting on his uploads how depressed he was.

Good lord

>>1090
She looks soft
