2011 is bound to have some cool SKE48 related photobooks, but what kind of PB would you like to see?
I tried to come up with the most likely suggestions; i.e. popular members and releases similar to what AKB48 has done.
-
i'd like take this opportunity to voice my concerns regarding photobook releases. Sure they are idols, and most idols do gravure and modeling work. That sexy, fun, revealing side is pretty much established and showcased in almost every opportunity. Frequent magazine spreads, photobooks, and as of late, even in music videos. That said, there is nothing wrong with it, am I right GUYS? :fap
But what i'm slightly irked about is the lack of photography/photobooks showcasing their performer side. The singing and dancing and costuming side of idols, of AKB, SKE, etc. While there has been a few books in the past, I can only think of, two or three akb pb's that aren't full of bikinis: 1st concert, booklets, JCB, and the Overseas visits PB & SKE side, the one with the deers lol, and those are more of travelouge pbs, rather than a live/concert ones.. since their sudden rise in popularity, there hasn't been much material similar to such.
Considering how awesome looking the past few concerts have been, im really disappointed they didn't capitalized on that (but we're getting a Documentary after all). Point is, i'd love to see more Live/Concert PBs. In my opinion, no matter how HD a video or dvd is, or how jizzworthy the 5.1 audio is, there is something really special about browsing thru photography, its a special kind of feeling that you can only get from printed materials. (abstract i know, but you get the point right?). I really don't wanna compare with other artists, but something like Perfume's Livefolio, is pretty much a good example what AKB/SKE/etc needs.
Now that all's said...
Jurina PB please. :twothumbs

^Yeah, there have only been a couple concert related PBs:

But personally I feel the opposite way. We have tons of concert DVDs and such, so it's nice that PBs focus on other sides of the artists. To see them in a non-concert situation. It doesn't have to be bikini though, I agree.
I can only think of, two or three akb pb's that aren't full of bikinis
- AKBingo book
- AKB48 Visual Books
- SKE48 Complete Book
- Mousou Deka!! Official Photo Book
- Dera Official Book
- AKB48 Sosenkyo Official Guide Book
- AKB48 x Bijo Saishu
- AKB48 1/48 Idol to Koishitara Visual Book
- etc.
:lol: just janking your chain a bit. I get your point.

Matsui Jurina and Matsui Rena
Furukawa Airi Solo
Are you joking? It s like you chose her on your own without knowing of community likings, I mean She is not that type of girl who suits for PB and her popularity is kinda low. There are many cute/pretty/sexy girls in SKE48 who deserves it much because of their age/good looking. For example:
Ririna Akaeda, Risako Goto, Rina Matsumoto, Manatsu Mukaida - cute/young
Tomoko Kato, Seira Sato, Takada Shiori - sexy
Sawako Hata - special charm ^^
-
...you may be right :lol:
I always thought Airi was really popular since she's one of the best all-round girls in KII and because she gets into cool units.
However:
Mixi SKE Ranking (03/06)
19. Airi Furukawa 181
Really low! :panic:
edit: changed Airi to Manatsu :lol:
-
^ nice avatar Barrie, that SKE girl reminds me about Akicha better ver. XD
and be honest I really don't like Airi (dunno why lawl), it s why my previous post is kinda angry :nervous
-
If I had three votes, one of them would have been for Airin.
My votes went to Anna and Akane, by the way.
-
Furukawa Airi solo. 8D
-
I would like to see a Matsui Rena Solo or W Matsui :D
-
Jurina and Akane are my top two choices. Rena would be good, too.
Although, to be totally honest, I think the girl who would release the best gravure-esque photobook that we mostly see from *48 is Sato Seira, hands down.
-
^Yeah, Seira is giving me Nozofisu vibes, which is good.
As for me, I want Rena and Kumi solo books. ASAP. :lol:
-
i would like cosplaying Airi photobook :drool:
-
Jurina Solo and Yukko Solo, please! :w00t:
-
I'd like to see a Matsui Rena solo and a SKE48 bikini book.
-
W Matsui, Kuumin would be great
i'd settle for a jurina solo
