She's 2nd generation kenkyuusei Yogi Keira.

I don't actually know many NMB48 KKS but she has stood out to me too - absolutely adorable girl.

Assuming that was the real N46 in Saba Doll ep 2... What's this girl's name?

edit: Hoshino Minami.

Hi,

Does anyone knows what is the name of the song that was played when the MC announced Takamina as the no.1 lucky girl for 2012? (AKBINGO 11/01/2012 episode)

I am new to akb48 songs so not too sure the names of most...

Appreciate the help here thanks.

I'm after help, advice or hints please.

I really, really want to get to see one of the 48 groups live. Preferably AKB48 or SKE48 since they are my favourites. I'm going to Japan in 2 months time (end of April) for 3 weeks and I'm wondering what my chances are. My dream would be some sort of handshake event where I get to see the girls up close. But honestly I'll mostly settle for anything where I can get to see them, even if from a distance away. But it seems that mostly their live performances are really difficult for foreigners to attend due to the whole lottery system.

So my questions are. How do people get to attend the handshake events? I know they have these since I hear about them from time to time but I've never understood how people get to them. Is this something a foreigner can do? And are they likely to have a nationwide concert with tickets that can just be brought rather than having to rely on the lottery system. And finally, are there any other events that I'm missing?

If anyone could help I'd be eternally grateful as it's my dream to at least get to see some of the girls once in my life. Oh, and if it makes a difference I can read/speak a very small amount of Japanese but I can't really speak to anyone in any detail as I don't know many words or how to structure sentences. So I don't know if that would limit me much.

Not experienced in events in Japan myself.

But there are two different types of handshakes. One are the theater handshakes, this you get tickets for by buying the theater edition of a single, and each single gives you 1 handshake ticket. This one is done before a single releases and involves using a Japanese address (and card, probably) to put in your picks for your handshake. It's kinda complicated, and I'm not sure how you do it. Another type of handshake is the nationwide handshake event, where you get tickets from buying the Ltd. version of a single that comes with the handshake tickets. Then you just go to the venue when your girl is slated to have a slot, and queue. They have concerts from time-to-time, but I have no idea about the timings for those. But April is usually concert season, so you might catch one.

For now though, I recommend you apply for super enpou for all the shows happening during that time period, as well as apply for enpou when the date is closer. 3 weeks is a decently long time, so you might win a show. If you have a railpass for the duration, then you can register for NMB too.

check out AKB's english page too:
http://www.akb48.co.jp/english/overseas/index.html

and ticket resellers helped alot on my trip years ago:
http://www.yokohamaticket.co.jp/index.htm

Don't see any akb tickets listed in the music section there right now.
But there's some AKB, NMB and Rena (probably for her PB) handshake tickets listed in the event section.
See how good your luck is in april.

You'll probably see something else you might want to check out too.

Zorr · « **Reply #148 on:** February 24, 2012, 10:06:08 PM »

Wow, thats pretty awesome. I'm kinda feeling a little more hopeful about this now. I thought it was probably a long shot but I figured I'd ask anyway. I had no idea that handshake event tickets got sold on resellers. I'm definitely gonna try for those. I think I'm also gonna try and apply for the long distance theatre tickets and try my luck too. Thank you both of you very, very much for this advice!!

With the handshake event tickets, as long as I can figure out where I'm going, I take it the staff wont mind that I don't speak Japanese? Like, I don't have to answer any questions or do anything specific to get in?

Edit: Another question please (sorry guys

). I was looking at the handshake event tickets and the translation says that they are 'participation tickets'. That does actually mean that it's a ticket for a handshake, right? Also, can I get greedy and buy more than one ticket for the same event? Also, aren't tickets usually just for one girl only? Is there a way to tell which girl it's for? Is that something that they show in the actual stores?

ellveetrapz · « **Reply #149 on:** March 20, 2012, 02:25:16 PM »

what episode is this ?

AKB to XX

winner · « **Reply #150 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:28:08 PM »

AKB to XX 111020 ep16.

But that scene may be from the DVD extra clips. So you'll actually be looking for DVD Vol.8, which just came out:

If they are the tickets you get from limited edition singles and the like, yeah. Basically you can buy as many as you can afford, and just go to the event. There'll be timeslots for all the girls (or groups of girls, depending), so just come (and be prepared to queue if she's popular) at the allotted time.

So after the series of shocking events we've been witnessing in AKB48, everyone has their viewpoints and reactions, but there's a little thought that passed by my mind today.

Acchan only talked to Aki-P and Takamina about her graduation before it was announced in SSA right? But wasn't the Manatsu no Sounds Good PV filmed before the announcement? From the PV previews and insights and interpretations we're making, does that mean that the management also knew about Acchan's contemplation about her graduation?

Kinda being conspiracious here

Kid_Alpha · « **Reply #153 on:** April 21, 2012, 06:40:05 PM »

I think the Manatsu PV shows more of the older generation needing the younger generation and since the senbatsu has such a huge line-up, it's more promoting the group as a whole, it's not really showing how Acchan's graduation was already predicted or whatever, well to me. Even if management knew about her plans to graduate, I doubt they would have predicted Manatsu would be the last single she would participate in since she announced she wouldn't be part of the election.

Who knows? /shrugs

Amplifier · « **Reply #154 on:** April 21, 2012, 08:02:44 PM »

Her graduation has probably been carefully planned for months.

Rust · « **Reply #155 on:** April 23, 2012, 03:33:20 AM »

Good day:
Does anyone know if the 4th senbatsu vote is included in the NMB & SKE singles? Or only in Manatsu?

LovelyGaki · « **Reply #156 on:** April 23, 2012, 10:19:57 AM »

Hey guys, I'm trying to remember what show this is.

Some things I remember:
SpeedWagon was the host. It was hidden-camera.

I remember Oshima, Kasai and two other members were in it as well.
4other "low level" comedians.
Takes place at a restuarant. Tatami mats.

I believe the plot was about [what not to do with guys]

Somewhere around 2010-ish, cuz I remember Kasai saying "I'm still 18~"

[I want to say it's either ShukanAKB or maybe AKB to xx]

Sorry about the half-a** descriptions.

Much appriciated to the person that remembers.

Voting tickets are only ever included with the AKB single. The NMB and SKE singles both have event tickets unrelated to the election), though.
