It's not even that I dislike the other 2 girls, but still.

My focus in AKB48 is Warota5. I love Mikapon and even Wasamin, but really. Ayarin is awesome and she was supposed to be in Warota since the very beginning so her inclusion was just normal, but those two are just superfluous. Their addition means that the old girls don't get as many lines as they should. Warota used to release more singles when they were only 4-5, too.

I was mad when I got Wasamin's card with Hetappi Wink. I collect Warota cards, I own one of all the original girls but Ayarin... and I managed to get one of the extra girls'. :razz: Still missing Ayarin.

"Tsunku" meaning whoever's in charge of recruitment

There's a certain quasi-irony in AKB advertising for "HP"....

Also, Kashiwagi, WAI SO CUTE? :o I feel that not snapping her up is one of Tsunku's greatest mistakes.

Not really, I think that the kind of combative envioment AKB has really helped Yuki shine and I think being H!P she wouldn't have done as well. Conversley I think girls like Naachan (miss you girl) or Maachan (I really miss you girl) would have done better in H!P since H!P is more everyone has their part to play (even if some have a bigger part than others).
I used to have a Tumblr about Idols...

I can only match a few of the girls faces and names.

Out of the 75,000 members in that whole lot of them there's not a one that screams, "Hey sb, you WANT to pay attention to me!" so aside from the music, I don't.

Akimoto looks like a poster licker. He needs the Tsunku makeover.

Right now that whole clan print's their own money. It is absolutely fucking nuts that they sell so well, and in this era. Especially when I remember when Skirt, Hirai or whatever the hell that song is, you know the one, came out and they sold like 20K and I'm like, oh that's cute, but girl groups are a dying breed, it's Momusu and really no one else. And now they shit on Momusu's sales. It's amazing and I can't help but to give props.

I still want a hottie though. Where's my hottie?
