Aki-P & AKS going on overdrive - on the cover of WPB so fast?!

what is 12.5?? sorry but i don know

SomethingWild · « **Reply #5 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:12:49 PM »

^The last auditions were for the 12th generation (or 'batch'

) of AKB48 kenkyuusei.

This girl was added a little bit later and through a different audition... so rather than calling her a '13th generation member' they opted for 12 and a half.

she doesn't look 'raw/fresh'...
she do look like debuted idol or an actress / artist with that face

ZOMG more creepy doll getting into 48 business...

Seems like AkiP has something with doll-like girls. Long time ago he said that Maachan was going to be AKB's future ace...
We'll get to see how 'ultimate' this girl is as soon she debuts on stage...

Btw, I'm afraid that all those godly-pushed members will have to prepare to be put aside for this girl...

Seriously, this news has successfully pwned all that sousenkyo excitement already...

First impression, I like her. She have an aura.

--------------------------------------------------
Somethin' interesting is...

AkiP says this about this girl.

"She is is the ultimate one."
"I created AKB and SKE in order to found her."

-------------------------------------

since AkiP says that, so I will believe him.

Cue the "Her dad must be extremely wealthy" rumors.

Seriously though, this has the potential to really piss off a lot of wota. I sure hope her singing and dancing skills live up to all this hype.

I'm intrigued for a few reasons. Right off the bat, she looks really, REALLY pretty. Sorry for being a guy on that one.

But another aspect is... what does she have that AkiP sees? Is is a genuine talent seen in the audition, or does he just think she's a diamond in the rough? It'll be interesting to see. I'll just approach it like I do everything else with AKB now, I'll have an open mind and see what happens. I'd prefer if she doesn't take over Team 4 though. Who knows what'll happen. He always thought Oku Manami was an ace(lol wtf), but they never pushed her to a major degree after it was horribly obvious fans were never gonna go for her. Still, she's no Oku for sure.

She had plastic surgery or is she all natural? Why she doesn't look like that pictures from WPB at all.

Masa · « **Reply #14 on:** June 12, 2011, 11:23:27 AM »

I'm definitely curious about Aimi. AKI-P knows them idols so there must be something special about Aimi

SomethingWild · « **Reply #15 on:** June 12, 2011, 10:26:57 PM »

The internet's going crazy: does she even exist? Is she real?

Allow me to summarize:

1. Her name.

Quote

Her name too is funny. You release a magazine after Acchan wins senbatsu, you take the sentence "Maeda Atsuko is Number One", and in Japanese shorten this - Mae.Atu.Ga.Ichii - and you shuffle it around a little, and you get Egu.Chi.Ai.Mi. So then, you take this name, Eguchi Aimi, and you take out G C I, and A M.

Shuffle this around, and you get I AM CG.

2. The girl in the NMB48 may not be her. They look nothing alike.

3. Photo is a composite of other AKB members:

GIF:

4. There are no blog pics or anything.
5. Not mentioned and no profile on the official site

However this turns out, it'll be genius either way

wew... scary..

so... she's a mutant?

looks interesting about her name and nothing info about her after the WPB.

There's also hints of 'altering' photoshop editing (meaning more than just smoothing over rough skin)
http://i52.tinypic.com/idt2pw.jpg
On the right side of this image, she basically has sideburns that shadow is so black. The shading around her fringe is pretty odd looking AND she has skin colour inside the eye on that side(at the bottom)
There are other bits and bobs but those are the most obvious 'altering' edits(not quite sure what to call it)

I've also noticed her earlobes aren't entirely consistent.

She's kind of creepy when you get a good look at her

Still don't get the idea why Akimoto wants to promote CG girls

you can hate photoshop but don't hate AKB48
