Dunno where to post this, so here seems good.

N1 was watched tonight. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs My thoughts:

-Team N rocks, but I already knew this pretty much.
-Yamamoto Sayaka is definitely in a league of her own. She's a mile ahead of everyone else. And honestly, that's really saying something, because all these girls have come really far.
-Milky is also great. I love front girls who live up to their position. :thumbup
-Ogasawara Mayu's singing voice is awesome. I absolutely love it. I was really hoping she would do something to wow me and did she ever.  :wub:
-Kondo Rina impressed the hell out of me with her stage presence. Girl's got moves, a good expression, and looks like she's having fun with it. She also looks a lot cuter at this point than she did in her debut. Not that she wasn't cute then. :P Totally awesome.
-Bird was fuckin' awesome, as expected. Was pleasantly surprised by Kishino Rika. She sings quite well. :wub: Naturally though, Sayaka pwned this song.
-Yamada Nana gives me uncontrollable boners. :nervous Her looks, her expressions, her voice... so sexy. :jerk:
-Their rendition of AKB's recent singles was pretty cool. They have a good chorus sound. It's high-pitched, but not quite out of bounds like early KII was with that old RIVER performance. :lol:
-Yoshida Akari is very cute.
-I honestly forgot a lot of these songs from A3. I don't mean just the titles, I forgot them completely. It was almost new to me, some of it. :lol:
-Once again, a spinoff group revives an old AKB48 stage for me. :thumbsup

It almost feels like this is the end result of everything these girls have gone through on Star Hime Sagashi Taro. I gotta say, they've come a long way, they're great, they're impressive, they're all-around awesome. Can't wait to see the awesomeness they bring to us in the future. :thumbup

^ I watched it before I went to work today.  I'll be going to bed soon, so I don't have time to post all my thoughts, but here's a few:

- If Yamamoto Sayaka wasn't already my NMB Oshi, she would be now.   :wub:
- Yamada Nana was giving me serious Kasai Tomomi vibes throughout the entire thing.  :drool:
- I was extremely impressed with the whole show.  I personally think it was the best first stage of any teams so far.  :twothumbs

Edit to add a couple more:

- The decision to switch out the original Medley for a new one with the recent singles was pure genius.
- I was very (pleasantly) surprised that they left the girls' introductions in.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but if it isn't please move it to the right thread.

Pics and article from 2nd gen's performance of A1 "PARTY ga Hajimaruyo"
http://www.scramble-egg.com/artist/nmb48/15party01.htm

Apparently, a fan got mad and started yelling at Shimarena (b/c of her purikura scandal) at the end of the performance on the first day and was escorted from the premises.

NMB48 members Matsuda Shiori and Yoshida Akari to suspend activities

On September 4th, NMB48 revealed through their official website that Team N members Matsuda Shiori and Yoshida Akari will be temporarily halting their activities.

When asked about her suspension, Matsuda commented, “I began to think, ‘Until now I’ve been busy with work every day, but are my own behaviors living up to all my fans’ expectations?’ and ‘Is this really okay with me?’. These insecure feelings made me feel uneasy about continuing my NMB48 activities; I felt that I needed time to look over myself once more.” She continued, “I’ll definitely be back in front of you all, so please watch over me warmly until then.”

Yoshida has also left her fans a message about her suspension. “While working a lot every day, I’ve been having some doubts and anxieties within myself, and I felt as if I wouldn’t be able to face my NMB48 activities… Since I’ve never regretted becoming part of NMB48 and I – of course – love NMB48, I’ll be taking a break. I’d like to take a look at myself once more and come back with my original intentions.”

Currently, the length of both girls’ suspensions have not yet been confirmed. Yoshida’s suspension will include her participation in NMB48’s upcoming second single, which will be released on October 19th.

What the hell... Obviously I expected Akari to be out of the next single but Milky and Kondo Rina too? I could maybe justify Kondo sitting out cause she is an obvious slacker, but with Milky this is quite unexpected. The only justifications I can think of at the moment is that she either wanted to give some of the new girls a chance and chose to sit this single out or is having some reservations about her participation in NMB as well, leading to an impending suspension/graduation (hope it's not this).

About Yoshida and Matsuda: even though I can respect what they are trying to do, the idea sounds a bit strange to me. Like I said in Akari's thread, if they feel they aren't up for their job they should've done like Shihori and quit. This sounds like a half-assed 'solution' to me. I don't see how a temporary suspension is gonna improve their motivation and skills.


...not 100% sure if that pic is related, but it seems to be floating around.

I'm quite shocked about Milky, since she's my NMB fav and didn't seem like the scandalous type.

The situation with Milky, Kondo and Yoshida leads of back to the discussion of idols and their private life. A part of me doesn't care if they may have a boyfriend or hang out with some guys. They are teenage girls, of course they wanna do this sort of stuff and have a normal life. Another part of me says that it is not ok. They idols. That is a 24/7 job. Part of their product is being "available" to everybody.

So yeah, NMB48 is taking a massive hit. I can't see Milky reclaiming her top front-girl position again.

I'm kind of a hard-liner of the "no boyfriend, no relationship" policy that is the whole pilar of idol world. So, I think this is OK. Akimoto have been being too lazy the last year, it's good to see he's cleaning up a little.

Without that kind of policies, everthing goes to hell and then... well... it becames K-pop or C-pop.
Idols, idols everywhere >.<

Fans approve the return of NMB48’s Shimada Rena and Matsuda Shiori

On December 7th, NMB48 announced at the NMB48 Theater in Osaka that suspended members Shimada Rena and Matsuda Shiori would be allowed to return to the group.

As reported earlier, the two members expressed that they wanted to come back to NMB48, but were hesitant on making a decision as they thought it would upset fans. Consequently, the agency said that they would be allowed to return if fans voted in their favor.

The fan voting took place from November 27th to December 3rd, and out of 9,783 votes cast, the majority were in favor of their return with 8,377 votes for Matsuda and 7,622 for Shimada. Now that their return has been confirmed, the girls will jump straight into their lessons in order to resume their activities from January 1st.

NMB48 will release their third single on February 8th. Details on the track list and senbatsu members will be announced at a later date.

NMB48 3rd Generation Kenkyuusei 1st Stage [Aitakatta] Shonichi!

http://melosnomichi.blogspot.com/2012/04/nmb48-3rd-generation-kenkyuusei-1st.html

Quote
NMB48's 3rd Generation Kenkyuusei performed their 1st Stage [Aitakatta] on April 29th for the first time.  [Aitakatta]  was originally performed by Team A in 2006 as their 2nd Stage, and later redone by Team B and Team KII. For NMB48's version, 16 out of the 22 3rd Generation members were selected to perform the Shonichi show.

An important position to watch out for in the [Aitakatta] Show is the lead girl for [Nagisa no Cherry] . This song is almost a solo and the lead part has been performed originally by Maeda Atsuko and later by Watanabe Mayu and Mukaida Manatsu. This time the position was assigned to Katou Yuuka, an indication that she will be among the front girls of the 3rd Generation.

Performing Members: Kono Saki, Yabushita Shu, Kushiro Rina, Katou Yuuka, Kusaka Konomi, Hanazawa Hono, Hisada Riko, Yamauchi Tsubasa, Kamieda Emika, Miura Arisa, Takayama Riko, Sasaki Nanami, Ishizuka Akari, Ueda Mirei, Kurokawa Azuki, Muro Kanako

NMB48 3rd Gen 1st Stage [Aitakatta]:

M01.   Nageki no Figure (嘆きのフィギュア)   - Sasaki, Katou, Muro, Yabushita
M02.   Namida no Shounan (涙の湘南) - Kamieda, Ueda, Kushiro, Hisada, Yamauchi
M03.   Aitakatta (会いたかった) - All
M04.   Nagisa no Cherry (渚のCHERRY) - Katou, Kono, Kusaka, Takayama
M05.   Glass no I LOVE YOU (ガラスの I LOVE YOU) - Yabushita Shu, Akazawa Hono, Hisada Riko, Kushiro Rina
M06.   Koi no PLAN (恋のPLAN) - Kamieda, Yamauchi, Kurokawa, Takayama, Kusaka, Ishizuka, Kono
M07.   Senaka kara Dakishimete (背中から抱きしめて) - Yabushita, Kushiro, Akazawa, Muro, Kurokawa, Katou, Sasaki
M08.   Rio no Kakumei (リオの革命) - Yabushita, Kushiro, Akazawa, Muro, Kurokawa, Katou, Sasaki, Hisada, Ueda, Miura, Yamauchi, Kamieda
M09.   JESUS - All
M10.   Dakedo... (だけど・・・) - All
M11.   Sakura no Hanabiratachi (桜の花びらたち) - All

ENCORE:
E01.   Mirai no Tobira (未来の扉) - All
E02.   NMB48 - All
E03.   Skirt, Hirari (スカート、ひらり) - All
E04.   Medley - All

Medley: Junjou U-19 · Flying Get · Seishun no Lap Time · Heavy Rotation


My thoughts:
1. I was already leaning towards Katou Yuuka as a fave just based on her blog posts, so no complaint there.
2. I wish NMB48 would start releasing LODs already, so I could see this.

NMB48 Team N 3rd Stage postponed: http://melosnomichi.blogspot.com/2012/05/nmb48-team-n-3rd-stage-postponed.html

Quote
The shonichi for Team N's third stage, originally set for May 12th, has been postponed to a date yet unknown. This was revealed at today's concert of NMB48's live tour [Osaka Juuban Shoubu] in the Orix Theater in Osaka.

Fans had been expecting the yet unnamed third (and first original) stage on May 14th as part of the  [Minogashita Kimitachi e 2] revival concerts. Instead, Team N will be performing a spinoff to their currently ongoing tour "Osaka Juuban Shoubu" in TDC Hall.

Dammit. I hope this doesn't turn into a wait as long as the one for KII3.  :banghead:
