The Takeshita-doori incident: Hey! Say! JUMP mysteriously becomes AKB48
After the Harajuku crushing incident last week, we question why the Japanese media bizarrely changed reports on which idol group was the cause

I guess Johnny's showing who rules the idol-sphere and maybe payback for AKB challenging the boys in the charts?

^Interesting article!

But next time Hey! Say! JUMP's new single does very poorly on the charts, expect the news to change that it was actually AKB48's new single that did so badly.

^^ The revised version of the story would have been more plausible if they had also changed the report to claim the crowd was made up of middle aged men.

This song:

has the EXACT same chorus as this song (chorus starts around 1:16):

Original Version
Muse cover

and BTW I also think both songs have the same melodic progression in the chorus as the chorus for Kara's Honey.

Honey isn't as much of a rip of the Franki Valli song as the AKB song though.

Also words cannot describe how much End Roll is my jam right now. The whole package: the song, the dance, the styling, everything but the vocals were on Kpop level.

Looks like AKB48 members are going to be regulars on Goro's new show G.I.Goro. It's a continuation of Goro's previous show Goro's Bar Presents My Fair Lady, which recently featured AKB48 as guests in its final two episodes. I think they might be rotating AKB48 members for each episode. Judging by the website and Sayaka and Sae's blog entries, they'll be wearing maid outfits in every episode. I was wondering why the AKB48 team had G.I.Goro listed on their nametags during that Thanksgiving show.

^ LOL It's the AKB party van.

It's interesting to now know that most of AKB48 are either terrible kissers(WHY WOULD YOU NOT PUCKER UP RIE ;_________; ), or lied on that program.

Still, bring Haachan on!

Am I the only who see Mayuyu's head moves away from her body?

Anyone know a way to preorder Majisuka Gakuen Special Box? Not the regular one available on cdJapan, Amazon, etc. I can only find it at AKB official shop, and while I do have a Japanese adress I can ship it too, I don't have a Japanese credit card (it wouldn't accept my foreign one). I'll be heading over to Japan in July so I can't pay at a konbini.

I know there are some companies who will order Japan exclusive stuff for you, but I'd prefer not to use that.

^ Welcome to JPH!P, Pollinic!

Thanks. I decided to register because of the great AKB48 forums here.

I knew about the group since long ago, but always thought they were "just another Morning Musume" idol group. I remember seeing a few guys fiddling with their AKB48 trading cards at the McDonalds near SofMap Honten in Akihabara back in 2008. Oh, how I regret having that view of them back then.

After watching Majisuka Gakuen (my main interest up until now was regular Japanese drama series), I decided to check out their latest songs and now here I am, waiting for my order of Kamikyoku-tachi

Has there ever been a AKB-SKE bondings ?? apart from Rena and Jurina any other SKE girls bondings with AKB girls ??

jafeijai · « **Reply #2674 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:40:18 AM »

^ I haven't seen much proof of it, but Nakanishi Yuuka of SKE used to be an AKB Kenkyuusei, so there may have been quite a number of bonding there with the other members that were previously Kenkyuusei.
