[2010.10.09] AKB48 x Bijo Saishu (book)

[SomethingWild]

Not 100% sure what this is at the moment, but it sounds pretty interesting. It features all 48 girls who will be transformed into animals through some sort of picture technique? It's done by Asami Kiyokawa.

It mentions:
Oshima Yuko - Squirrel
Maeda Atsuko - Sparrow
Shinoda Mariko - Mie Cat (?)
Itano Tomomi - Black Panther
Watanabe Mayu - Chihuahua

CD Japan preorder

Perhaps a full AKB48 edition of "Super Mariko"?

Awwh it's like a calmer/softer scrapbook version of super Mariko~
Depending on the price on yesasia and the release date I may rethink my planned order > u <;

[SomethingWild]

It's not bad, but I expected it to be a bit more extreme/more artsy..

Btw, what is kasai supposed to be? I can't read the kanji

Considering Super Mariko was batshit, I think this was to be expected.

I'm most interested in seeing:

Ant × Suzuki Mariya
Dolphin × Kuramochi Asuka
Angelfish × Takajyo Aki
Snail × Nakatsuka Tomomi
Flying fish × Tanabe Miku
Dragonfly × Oya Shizuka
Hummingbird × Uchida Mayumi
Penguin × Ishida Haruka
Goat × Sashihara Rino

They should've just dressed em up in animal costumes, rather than being artsy about it

From a non-biased point of view, I gotta say Tomochin's page looks epic. I dig Amina's too, sorta Ice Queen-esque.
