1000 posts! (ノ〃^▽^〃)ノ。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚オメデトー♪Lol, so I've been avoiding posting so I could decide a good milestone but truthfully my posts are never very long anyway so this might be in the same vain

I chose Erena's thread for my 1000th posts because as far as I can remember, she was the first AKB girl I knew about, before I even knew about AKB. Once I started getting into the group, she was my first oshimen and represented what AKB was all about to me... an up and coming fun idol group with some sassiness

To be honest, over time discovering more of the group she sort of fell out of view as I'm sure has happened for many of your previous oshimens. However, what makes AKB great is that there's always something new happening, as well as to be discovered. This easily allows the group to grow and let your fandom increase. It's interesting that previous oshimen can come back into view as the group changes and the members change within. Unfortunately it had to be marked with Pyon's graduation but once again she reflected what the group is currently about. The new Pyon is now more mature and is determined to try new challenges just as the group has fine-tuned a lot of aspects and is constantly mixing things up. The same can be said for the AKBar too. It sure has come a long way since more than a year ago. I can safely say that my interest in AKB would not nearly be as strong as it is today if it weren't for this awesome place. JPH!P's awesome atmosphere and cool people keeps my fandom strong and friendships stronger, not to mention visiting at least ten times a day (even if I'm not posting

). So with that I wanna say thanks to all the cool people in the AKBar and on JPH!P

You guys have taught me what being a HiPster is all about

My first oshimen may be graduating soon but don't worry I won't be leaving this place anytime soon
