Know of the famous Miku song, Thousand Sakura?

Looks like Ishida Haruka will be playing in a musical titled after it! She will play Miku too it seems.

I must say the cosplay looks funny tho...

But alas that might just be me.

The official blog states that on March 20th, the AKB Kenkyuusei will perform a different setlist to their usual [Boku no Taiyou]...

...no further details... seems unclear whether they are starting a new stage or whether this is a one-off...

AKB48 Kenkyuusei start new stage [Pajama Drive]

AKB48 kenkyuusei held the shonichi to their previous stage [Boku no Taiyou] (Himawarigumi 1st) on March 17th, and on March 20th, as stated above, started a new stage. Turned out this was a revival of Team B's 3rd Stage [Pajama Drive]

Loads more pics: https://plus.google.com/114007873084322574127/posts

DL the shonichi at H!O

Since the other teams had already distorted "Wasshoi B!" into "Bacchikoi K!", "Happy A!", and "Enjoy 4!"...

...the KKS version is called "Let's Go, Kenkyuusei!"

The box set of season 1 of No Sekai Seifuku Joshi will be released June 17th. The collectors edition includes trading cards and the TV program SKE48 no Idol x Idol.
They also held a press conference and interviewed Shiori Ogiso and Yagami Kumi about season 2.

Wonder how much the collector edition will cost.

With my luck, a small fortune.

Cross-post from the Matsushita Yui Thread.

Former SKE48 member Matsushita Yui to release her solo debut single

It was announced that Matsushita Yui will make a solo debut under Tokuma Japan Communications, and her 1st single “Shooting Star” is set for release on May 22.

Matsushita was a member of SKE48 since 2008, and she went on hiatus in order to receive treatment for osteochondritis dissecans on both of her ankles in 2010. However, as she needed to undergo long-term rehabilitation, and there was very little probability that she would be able to dance how she used to even if her ankles recovered completely, she graduated from the group in 2011.

For full article, please read it here. Original Japanese from Natalie here.

The details on her 1st single “Shooting Star” are as follows.

“Shooting Star”

01. Shooting Star
02. Rigel
03. Love Monster
04. Shooting Star (Instrumental)
05. Rigel (Instrumental)
06. Love Monster (Instrumental)

Edit: Apparently there's a footage of Yuimin performing some of the songs that will be in her single!
You can find it here. With thanks to caramujo!
