After their parents saw their girl's paychecks they didn't care anymore!

^ hmm...I'm not so sure about that as Akimoto kind of admitted some girls are getting around 50000 yen a month (that's almost US$500). 500 bucks, Mariko, Hana and Cindy spent that in minutes

I'm sure top AKB girls make a lot more than this.

I was gonna comment on the math as well. Thats not a lot of money for what they do. Less than what I earn in a week (well 3 nights) ~ I couldn't cope on that little. I have a huge shopping habbit to feed!!!

Must confess, I'm officially in love with AKB

century · « **Reply #647 on:** August 25, 2007, 02:23:25 AM »

I get the same wages as some AKB girls. hahah, wow.
I'm surprised on how little they get!

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #648 on:** August 25, 2007, 05:34:50 AM »

I am not to surprised if it is for the younger girls, they are not fulltime (are any actually?) and go to school also.
If this is net (e.g. after tax etc.) 500$/month would be a nice addition to there pocket money I think.

Which single is "Faint" on? I'm beginning to like that song after watching that hawt perf. *strokes self*

genericpaperdoll · « **Reply #650 on:** August 25, 2007, 05:52:25 AM »

^Faint isn't on a single. It's from Team A 4th Stage, which has no album yet

donkeykong83 · « **Reply #651 on:** August 25, 2007, 06:19:13 AM »

Blah...thought so.

I hope they release a studio album soon instead of a live album.

really??

──ちなみに、劇団員の皆さんのギャラはいくらなんでしょう？　月5万円というウワサも聞いたのですが……。
秋　僕もよくわかりませんが、たぶんそれくらいじゃないでしょうか？　養成所ですから、
授業料を取ろうという話もありましたが、僕が反対しました。少しでも多くのコたちに、チャンスをあげたいと思いましたから。

--How much is the girls' salary? There's a rumor that it's 50,000yen per month...
I don't really know but I think it's not that much? Since it's an education-center,
there are discussion whether we should ask for tuition fee but I objected to it.
I want to give the girls chances even if it's small.

Tuffty · « **Reply #659 on:** August 28, 2007, 12:44:17 PM »

I know next to nothing about AKB48, but they were featured in a UK made documentary on Japanese culture. The episode in particular was focusing on pop music (Morning Musume were also mentioned

) but AKB48 were also highlighted, and I thought you guys might be interested in it:
