Hey guys, I'm going to Japan pretty soon and I was wondering if you still need to go through a damn lottery to get tickets to the akb theater? Would be fun to see a show but I ain't exactly  going to go through hell for it. :)

Yup, still a lottery, you have to sign up to an account at http://ticket.akb48-group.com
If you can read Japanese you can just sign up there, if not, I can PM you a link to an English guide which is almost not-out-of-date.
There are a couple differences in the timings and a couple hints to share, since technically non-Japanese residents aren't allowed an account. I can help with more info, do note you have to start applying on the 11th day before your trip, so get ready well before then...

Does anyone have a video of this they would be willing to share someplace?  I missed it at the time and now it doesn't seem to be up anywhere.

It's referred to here:

Was linked here http://pureidolheart.blogspot.com.au/2010/09/akb48-university-song.html and here http://itoshisanoakuseru.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/59-dan-no-kakehashi/ but gone in both places.

Any help appreciated!

So it's my first time buying an akb48 single.
I bought Mae Shika Mukanee, and it had arrived this noon.
It's limited edition, but I remember the guy selling to me said that he couldn't get any bonus picture's.
I saw some vid's of unboxing at YouTube, and they got 2 photo's but I didn't get any...

And for the album 1830m.
Is there supposed to have an Acchan Poster?
Because my friend bought one for me but there wasn't any poster there...

I'm not sure about this particular single, but in the past it was like this:
- Limited edition comes with the store bonus photo (until they run out) and an event ticket or sorts
- Regular edition comes with the store bonus photo (until they run out) and a photo inside the CD case

the guy selling to me

You bought it used? In that case they probably kept the pic for themselves or sold it off earlier.
On eBay they tend to sell the singles and pictures separately because the picture is worth more than the actual cd in some cases.


And for the album 1830m.

The first press edition came with a poster iirc. It had Acchan on one side and one member at random on the other side.
Stores will have ran out of the posters well over a year ago, so yeah, if you buy it now there won't be a poster.

Really really cool!  Thanks a whole heap, winner.  I think this song is just something a bit special since it has that connection with Aki-P's place in the academic world.  Isn't it a bit amazing that a guy who promotes idols is also in a leading academic position.

Thanks again!  Also to Jul3 for moving my question to this thread which I did not know about  :P  So that it got answered!

Thanks alot, but I ended up skipping it since there was so much to see and I didn't know you had to apply 11 days in advance. Perhaps I'll check it next time. Is it easier getting tickets to SKE, HKT or like Nogizaka for instance?

Oh, enpou applications are 11 days in advance, but general application is 2 days in advance  XD

I've never tried SKE, but NMB seems just as hard as AKB to get tickets for. HKT seems easier. I think AKB you'll win about 1 show a month if you apply to everything twice. HKT is more like one a week. Nogizaka pretty much never perform anywhere so it would be really rare for there even to be a performance you could apply to see.

I've watched the videos, I've listened to the music, I watched all of AKB0048 and Next Generation, but I really want to know how to learn more about AKB48.
I've seen fans who know almost everything. Every specific girl of specific teams , and all sorts of things.
I really want to learn more.
Also, where does everyone get their news source from about (well everything, but mostly) who's graduating and who's entering the group and things like that.
Thank you to anyone who can give me a hand.

Here's some suggestions.

Fastest is probably this site. But a lot of the posts are rumors/fanchat babbling and gravure pics, with actual news littered between it:
http://akb48sokuhou.doorblog.jp/

For official news. you're probably better off just doing a yahoo news search:
http://news.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=akb48&ei=EUC-JP&fr=news_sw

For main stuff. Check the AKB48 News & Releases section here at jphip:

G'd day, I just wanted to know the name of this tune at 0:46?.. Sorry im not that knowledgeable with AKB48's tunes.
^It's not an AKB song.
Just a jingle for the show to cut to commercials.
