The Pointless *48 Musings/Rants Thread

The new Maeshika Mukanee PV kinda feels like AKB challenging MM back.

Cos that made news, Sayu challenging AKB by the What is Love PV, and now they made a concert PV. Way too coincidental lololol.

Also the outfits for the PV totally rip off Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's Tsukema Tsukeru

I don't know, I sorta saw it more as a follow up to Give me five! but I honestly haven't seen the PV preview yet.



So, I was doing something stupid yesterday night while waiting for my roommate at a train station:

Prevalence of H!P first names in 48 group (seeing as 48 group includes so many people) (this includes current and former members)

Sayumi: 0
Mizuki: 7
Erina: 0
Riho: 2
Kanon: 1
Haruna: 3
Ayumi: 2
Masaki: 0
Haruka: 16
Sakura: 3

Saki: 6
Momoko: 1
Maasa: 0
Chinami: 1
Miyabi: 0
Yurina: 2
Risako: 3

Maimi: 0
Airi: 3
Chisato: 1
Mai: 8

Ayaka: 14
Akari: 3
Rina: 13
Kana: 3
Meimi: 0

Yuka: 13
Tomoko: 1
Sayuki: 1
Karin: 1

If the sheer quantity of girls of similar age is any indication of "average" japanese girl names, the most common H!P first names are: Haruka, Ayaka, Rina, Yuka.

It cant be a coincidence that the Maeshika Nee PV is just a concert PV.

HAHAHA what the shit

[Pavlova]

I don't know. When did Sayu say her thing? Is it possible the AKB48 PV was filmed after that, or is the time frame too tight?

Also if we go by that logic, wouldn't Sayu's remark be a reaction to HKT48's live PV for Melon Juice?

Eeeeeeeeh.... what the fuck...

[DSQueenie]

Look like they got their PV's mixed up costumes wise. Though Maybe's costumes are iconic...

[Pavlova]

yeah Iiwake Maybe's costumes are considered AKB's "default" costumes

Sort of impressed, you can figure out who's supposed to be whom

[stam4o]

Because they're some really good outfits

[BerryzCelebration]

That MV is awesome .

[Pavlova]

I generally love AKB costumes, except the early ones which were super cheap. Later stage shows and huge stage productions like 1830m have INSANELY AWESOME costumes. Like sometimes, you have *all* the girls on stage, and *all* their costumes are like variations on a theme and that's incredible.

I wish I could find good pictures of the Tokyo Dome shows...



Aren't these gorgeous?
