Author Topic: [Discuss] New AKBar48 Mascot Girl? (Read 7954 times)

SomethingWild · « **on:** January 12, 2011, 06:13:39 PM »

As you all know, Shawako is the Official AKBar48 mascot girl.

We tried to give her some extra attention by stickying her thread and by posting some vids and every pic we could find.
Shawako has recently been promoted to team KII! So, it might be time to let her fly on her own and pick a new mascot.

Any girls you think need/deserve some extra attention? Preferably a kenkyuusei, Team E or maybe even an NMB member?
Let me hear some suggestions! Try to make a good case for your suggestion. Convince the staff!

It's hard to live up to Shawako's unique type of awesomeness, so in the end, it may be the case that we keep Shawako anyway

Assuming that going through this procedure again anytime soon is not something we would want, and kenkyuseis are the ones that are most at risk of being kicked out, I hereby add the following candidates:
- Non.
Although the problem might be that she is the only E member who already has the attention.
- Kaori Matsumura.
The problem is she's a RS. And since she wasn't promoted now.. she either is on her way out, or she's bound to get once the first person leaves.. You decide.

Hm why do I make a suggestion then argue against it...

She's the AKBar48 mascot? I've never seen her aroud this forum until now.

She's cute. I'm surprised she's 22. She looks younger in that profile pic. Now i can see why she's the mascot. "It's a trap!"

- Kaori Matsumura.

Actually, she is one of the two people I had in mind!

1. She has a strange voice, like Shawako, but different.

2. She plays an instrument, like Shawako, but different.

3. She's undervalued.

4. This awesome moment with her and Shawako:

Kanon is definitely cool too, but like you said, she's like Team E's ace and doesn't seem to need any extra attention. Still a potential candidate though. She's like the new Jurina with a bit of Tsukina. lol

Shawako's main attraction is the way she talk and presents herself. Really soft voice, really polite and almost a bit shy. Later on she showed her crazy side a bit more

It sucks that our jphipx youtube profile got deleted, so none of the cool vids which show her interesting sides work anymore

Nakamura Mariko >.>
An rs and is part of the 9th gen which gets so much love...but she never does v.v

Want to nominate Ichikawa Miori (Fresh Lemon) but I doubt she needs it going by how much the members seem to love her.

I have no problem w/ Shawako remaining mascot for the time being though.

Too bad Shinkai Rina left....

Mariyannu is the only correct answer to this question, really.

No one will ever replace Shawako, but I like the Nakamura Mariko idea. She's cool and info/pics/pimping on her is kinda scarce.

hibachifinal · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2011, 10:53:16 PM »

I vote for Yukko

reasons why:

even if she already made it to ske senbatsu once, she still only has little fans
she excellent in performing, and dances well (like most of ske)
she's exotic looking, something unique

I will veto everybody and pick Yamada Erika.

j/k

SomethingWild · « **Reply #11 on:** February 05, 2011, 12:45:39 PM »

After watching this week's Shukan, there is no way anybody can replace Shawako

* Masa votes for The American Cowgirl

...although I do agree with Barrie

Bump! Any new thoughts regarding the Mascot Girl? New era, new girl?

There have been a lot of cool new girls emerging lately, so any thoughts or suggestions?

Shawako still awesome, of course.

You want unique. How about the most unique girl in all of the 48 empire:

Oh, and she can do cute too:

chiimin · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2012, 01:10:06 AM »

Hirata Rina so everyone can love her, cheer for her and vote for her until she's promoted to AKB's Queen.
(and yes i just mentioned hilary, no need to respond to this. why is everyone so pressed today

)

But the girl above isn't bad either

Datalanche · « **Reply #18 on:** August 28, 2012, 03:16:03 AM »

I'm firmly against any change. It's needless and does away with something we've had fun with for so long. Call it biased or whatever, but I see no need to go all change-crazy just because Maeda's gone or whatever else.

But if you must, Momoka is at least worthy of the "legacy" of that title.

It's not just that. I always saw it as a means to put a girl on the map. Shawako's rise is a success story that is only topped by Umeda Ayaka's. She went from a nobody, an old ignored kenkyuusei, to being the 25th most popular girl in the entire empire! It's like, "Hata made it, let's try to do the same for someone else." (note: not implying that we are responsible for Shawako's rise, but at least we saw it coming).

I think both Hilary and Momoka are good suggestions. Keep them coming.
Fuuchan's super cool and awesome, but she's already rising quickly.
