Umm... for me at first I didn't know that I will be actually become a fan of them because am not really fond of "Idols"..... I'm not a hater but I just don't like them that's all... (man those were the days
)
I' first saw AKB (last year) when I watched their PV Aitakatta on Animax... when I saw them I was like wow they're sooo many
and for the record they're not that cute and pretty at first (except erepyon because I think she's the only one I find cute at that time
) in the end I told myself girl I'm sooo not gonna be a fan of this group....
Since I'm a a big fan of SCANDAL my whole JPOP world revolves around them.... so I was always in search for they're interviews and videos and all to keep on track but since they don't much appear on TV because they always go on tour I was like come on!! I really need you!!
I need some dose!!..... That's when AKB COMES IN!!
So one time I was really bored and came in searching for some Jdrama with a "Gender bender theme" and I found Mendol yay!!
when I watched couple of episodes I saw this couple Kai X Ray I was like whoa...
did they just KISSED there!! (I'm a fan of Yuri in Manga and Anime only not in the real world..... well at that time of course
my OTP changed it all)
And when I finished it I really like the show and what's really great is that they're actually a singing trio
(No3b) since then I've become a fan and I've searched them and I saw that they belonged to group called "AKB48" and I thought were this girls the same with those girls I saw before
and I was like hmmm..... but these girls are way more prettier than those girls I saw?? ( when I found out that they're the same I was like this
)
And then I started to watch some couple of they're PV's on youtube at first I was like
.... hmp ok moving on... (No3b is way more better...) but how come they get so many views?? are they're really that famous?? then finally saw "ponytail to shushu"(I've realized this is my favorite song of them) and "heavy rotation" and I thought yup Now I Know...
(really they're dancing on they're bikinis and lingerie?? and to top it all there's this KISSED between girls
)
Then I thought that hmmm maybe AKB48 is all that?? well they're idols and all and they're music is kinda ok... I just can't seem to like them that much... then again it all changed when FINALLY I saw they're History and getting to know each of them more... I was really touched by they're stories how they started out and working together as a large group and all (Takamina as the leader I Salute You!!) looking at them now I would say yup
they deserve to be on TOP!!
don't care about the haters because I know that each of us has it's own taste and likings and you cannot please anyone....
I would say that AKB48 changed my whole point of view as a fan especially the whole "don't judge a book by it's cover" phrase thing
and yeah I'm sooooooo in to them right now
since that time I started downloading all they're songs and PV's and yup I really can't explain it but I liked them all now....
hopefully the whole group last long... and I really regret I did not get to see them in they're early days
*this will forever haunt me*
