^Weekly Playboy Renewal Campaign: ganbare, nihon!

Not sure about the details... looks like they're giving away some presents to 1000 people.

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

Question for the pic collectors: do you think the Gacha pictures are worth more or less now than when they were still given out? Is it like "old/out of print = rare and wanted" or old/out of print = who cares, we have weekly theater pics that took their place" ? I guess it all depends on the particular girl and pic...

It doesn't matter at all, but I was thinking about it last night lol.

^ Auction-wise old pics = cheap for pretty much anyone. Granted that the definition of cheap depends on the popularity of the member, but from all I've seen older is better for those on a bargain hunt. I'm sure to those who the pics are of value, they aren't selling them in the first place. However, I base this off my pic collecting experience which was before AKB's popularity boom, so it might be different now. I mostly retired from pic collecting, at least in the auction realm. It's all too rich for my blood.

Evening! Having been introduced to AKB48 thru friends, the internet, and recently Majisuka Gakuen 2, my question entertains the fictional world of the mentioned series and other JPop entertainers such as Stereopony, Hello Project members, SCANDAL, et al. Is there an existing or archived thread here on jph!p I can follow? (This has been a near AKB48 question.)

Thank You!

Hello, I'm a new AKB48 fan. I have already knew a few of them.
But there's one girl that always catches my attention.
Too bad I don't know her name. Can you help me?

May I know her name?

Welcome to the business, GekiDan-senpai...

Oh btw, I've regularly visited your blog for tokusatsu and downloadable stuff for a long time. Glad seeing you actually become a fan of AKB48...

I've been curious whether you're a fan of 48-family since you've been posting lots of AKB stuff in your blog.

Well, I'm generally a SCANDAL fan. But then, I kept hearing my sis play some AKB48 songs and it got stocked in my head... "I want you... I need you..." ^^a
Since then, I downloaded both of their albums and got book. But like in SCANDAL, as much as possible, I'll buy off some official products, just waiting for the price drop and/or restocks.

Scandal are basically idols anyway, who just happen to be in a band and play their own instruments

Welcome aboard the AKBoat.

By the way, aside from Team A, K, B, S, K2 and E, there are Research Students.
What do they usually do?

SomethingWild · « **Reply #76 on:** July 03, 2011, 03:33:17 PM »

A research student (or kenkyuusei) is training to become a full member of AKB48. They will substitute in for the current members in AKB48 that are absent during the day of a her Team's performance. The RS also have their own performances at the theater.

When a girl auditions these days she will not get into AKB48 immediately, but she'll have to train and prove her skills as a research student. It's sort of a buffer so that only the best (in theory) girls make it into a real team.

Thanks for that enlightenment BarrieV (to be honest, I nearly typed your name as BeaRV).
