When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: When I watched Majisuka Gakuen, I become interested and started spazzing over them.

I realized theyre really are hardworking girls reaching for their dreams in life. It makes me feel inspired :''> and `til now im supporting them with all my might! 
Reason why you like AKB48: They are baka and so much full of smiles that makes me want to jump and hug them

Favorite AKB48 Member: AKB: Yokoyama Yui (Yuihan) SKE: Matsui Rena NMB: Yamamoto Sayaka (Saya-nee)
Favorite Team: AKB48's old Team A
Favorite Graduated AKB48 Member: Maeda Atsuko (Acchan) <-- First oshii
Favorite AKB48 Group/Subgroup: Not Yet
Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Sakura no Hanabira-tachi
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: Ashura was just trolling around with some of his friends and his senpai, who's oshimen was Paruru, introduced him to AKB48. At first Ashura listened to [Baby, Baby, Baby] but didn't liked it very much. After trolling around some more, he found a song named [RIVER]. Ashura listened to it and some translations and felt touched. Ashura actually doesn't like J-Pop much at that time since it reminded em of K-Pop but after trying hard, searching for some good songs, lives, etc that Ashura's senpai recommended, he began to like AKB a little, and that's when Ashura found AKBINGO!! and Ashura fell in love with Acchan QwQ
Reason why you like AKB48: Simple. You like what you like. There's no reason. But if there was, it's probably because Ashura felt really close and touched with the members, unlike when he listened to K-pop. And also the because he loves the members (Except Takamina. Don't ask) and wants to support them in any way he can >A<. After Ashura gets his credit card. SOON! OAO

Favorite AKB48 Group/Subgroup: No Name
Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Ikiru Koto
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: It all started when I was surfing the net last year during the summer. I was bored and ended up on a review of Majisuka Gakuen drama with season one and two. After reading a few fan fictions from Black Gekikara's blog, I watched the drama just so I was able to understand who the characters are. I soon realized that it was based on an idol group. However... I ended up watching Kataomoi Finally by SKE48 first. But I soon figured out that there were multiple groups and thus got into the 48 Group from listening to more of their famous songs (RIVER, Aitakatta, Sakura no Hanabaritachi, etc.)

When/how did you become an AKB48 fan:Got hooked after watching JKT's Heavy Rotation then search for AKB version and fell for AKB more instead of JKT~
Reason why you like AKB48: Unlike K-pop girlband, we watched how AKB grew. Most K-pop artists went and do plastic surgery and completely change their appearance. AKB doesn't (Accept for Iwata Karen's emergency surgery), they just go with what they have. Takamina, Yuko, and Ume with their heights for example. Next, despite the lack of fans they have ages ago, they refused to give up on their path and walk steadily until it reached it's 8 years soon. They do take their future seriously in AKB, and it's great to see lot's of determined people like that

Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Tomo yo
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan:
AKB0048 was an amazing anime that despite being awkward, in truth I fell in love with Kumi's character, Makoto(0048), and Shawako's character, as well as Kanata(0048), I kind of disliked the main character, but I ended up searching up AKB48. I found that they had a bunch of otaku's in the group so I was happy like a little kid. Well, since Heavy Rotation being the 2nd AKB PV I saw, it scarred me the first time I saw it... because I was used to ecchi manga.. But not real gravure type things... Well, eventually, I got bored since anime took too much time to watch and manga wouldn't load. Thus, AKBingo because it seemed interesting. Yeah, it was interesting so I marathon ed like 150 episodes in a month or two. (not really marathoning...) And then I found Majisuka Gakuen, couldn't watch the horribleness at first, but then I fell in love~ That was when I started to learn the people's names... yeah, had trouble telling them apart at first~ The end... (not really, but that's basically it.)
Reason why you like AKB48:
They're cute, they have good songs, they can dance, they have interesting personalities, some of them are weirdos, some of them have horrible fashion, some are baka, but they basically all do their best even if they aren't as cute as Mayuyu.

Favorite Team: Team K
Favorite Graduated AKB48 Member: I don't really have one. Tomochin, perhaps? I liked looking at her during performances.
Favorite AKB48 Group/Subgroup: Team Dragon
Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Kaze wa Fuiteiru
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: The lyrics of "Kaze wa Fuiteiru" caught my attention when they performed it on Music Station sometime in Oct 2011. I was going through a rough patch at my former job, and the words just struck a chord. I then went online to look up their other releases, and was thrilled to find a lot of songs filled with words of encouragement.
Reason why you like AKB48: Generally, I like songs that contain words such as "ganbare" and "kibou". I guess I like AKB48 because the underlying theme is one of perseverance and hope.

Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Tooku Ni Itemo - SKE48.
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: 2007, I guess.First, I download PV OOgoe Diamond.... But, cz the Title is Hiragana, so I don't know at first.. I download it when i search in youtube japan artist Tohoshinki pv. and i start like and searching more the pv of AKB48.. But, bcz I broken heart cz member of THSK are out of the group. so I become more fokus on AKB48 World.. After that I become so CAPTIVATED by SKE48.! Honestly, i'm kind girl that more tomboyish. So They make me thinking THIS WHAT IDOL GROUP IS, cool, energic, and so cheerful. So, I become FSKE48 and oshihen from Mayuyu to Matsui Rena. Bcz of her Weaknes makes me feel want to protect her. Beside I feel SO MUCH fans of Mayuyu.... More I look,, More I LOVE MATSUI RENA.!! How she act, so kawaii, yet so adorable.

Reason why you like AKB48: They shine from their Character. And I Like how they open their personality to fans, or to entertain people. Bcz so many Artist not showing their true image.... And I Like it...

Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Sakura no Ki Ni Narou
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: When Kusumi Koharu from Morning Musume graduated in 2009 and RIVER hit #1 in Oricon I started to really look into AKB48. Heavy Rotation was a turn off at that time but Sakura no Ki Ni Narou was just so beautiful both in song and PV it was a turning point.
Reason why you like AKB48: There's just so many songs and its impossible not to like one or a 100, Aki-P rules! Personally, beyond the looks, its probably the trials the members went through that strengthens the bond between the fans and the idols. The fans can see their struggle and however messed up they are, they don't give up, and that simply inspires the fans to continuously support their oshi. Being a fan of the group is really costly but the fact that it satisfies your want while giving support to your oshi somehow makes it a fair exchange.

Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: really hard so i'll just put one at random, UZA
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: I already knew a bit about them before but only really started getting into them last year. I started checking out there music videos on their official youtube page and slowly got into them. The big factor I would say was AKBINGO! which I found to be really hilarious that I got addicted to it at first where I would spend hours nonstop watching episodes. It was a great way to get to know the members individually where you could see their character and personality apart from being in a group.
Reason why you like AKB48: awesome catchy and cool songs, really cute girls, really funny watching them in variety shows, I just like everything about them, there is just so many things going on with the whole 48 group from music to tv shows, dramas etc.. I just can't get enough, they're too awesome

Absolute Favorite AKB48 Song [ONE ONLY]: Beginner (Love everything about it, from the six different formations, the outfits, the dance and the song itself)
When/how did you become an AKB48 fan: I had heard a few AKB48 songs a few years ago, but it didn't really catch my interest until earlier this year. I've since become addicted.

I really like how their songs can be about anything, but I especially like their motivational songs like River and Beginner. AKB48 just generally makes me happy and upbeat whenever I watch or listen to them.
