Image
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my first ever AKB48/Sakamichi End of the Year Special Post. where i'm going to talk about the best moment that has happen in 2017 for the AKB48 group and the Sakamichi series. there are going to be a lot to talk about, everything from songs to music videos to group and members, i'm going to go through them all. for this, i'm going to merge the 48 and the Sakamichi together, so there won't be a 48 segment or 46 segment, i'm going to look at it overall, put them into one big list. so without further ado, let's get on with the show, starting with WTF Moment of the Year This is the title given to the moment/moments by the 48 or sakamichi group in 2017 that will make you go W.T.F. there are a few moment that fit this category, there's the Mayu's graduation announcement, the utter disaster of the Sousenkyo and the 'problem' of Keyakizaka46's center Hirate Yurina. but really there is only one m

Top 10 AKB48 Group Song of 2017

hello and welcome to another post of the end of year top 10 series. this one is the last one that i'm going to make before i go to the actual end of year recap post. this time i'm going to rank the (as the title suggest) top 10 AKB48 Group song of 2017. now, 2017 hasn't really been a very good year for the AKB group, there's not really a lot of good song to talk about. especially from the sister group side, which somehow got forgotten altogether. i'm actually struggling to pick 10 song because most of them doesn't really stand out. but fortunately, i managed to pick the 10 song that i think is the best song by the AKB48 group from 2017. for this list i'm limiting to just releases by the AKB48 group from Thumbnail to Sekai wa Doko Made Aozora ka? (NGT 2nd single). so, no song from the Janken single, HKT 1st album or NMB 17th single. with that cleared out lets get to the list. 10. Which One (Warota People) (NMB48) I'm already cheating for the first e

Top 10 Sakamichi Series Music Video of 2017

Hello, welcome to the second part of the End Of Year series. this time i'm going to rank the top 10 Sakamichi series MV of 2017. to be honest 2017 hasn't been the best year for Sakamichi in the MV department, at least not compare to last year. last year have been an incredible year for MV, with the likes of Harujion ga Sakukoro and Sayonara no Imi. this year, well i won't say that they're all bad, not at all, its actually pretty good. but compare to last year, its not as good. anyway, let's get on with the list. 10. Live Kami (Nigemizu) we start things of with Live Kami from Nogizaka46 18th single, Nigemizu. this is a song by the second gen, its a nice song and i like it. the MV for this song is also very good, it has the 2nd gen being the production staff for their own concert. we can see the quirkyness of all the 2nd gen member, which let's be honest here, they're all weird AF. this is a very nice way to show the personality of the 2nd gen. 9.Getsu

Top 10 Sakamichi Series song of 2017

Hello, since we are now approaching the end of the year I thought I should do something like an end of year recap of some sort. So I will, I will make like a series of Top 10 list about the 48 Group and Sakamichi series and what I like about them from the past year. And finally I will end it with a post where I talk about the best thing that happen within the 48 and 46 Group, so something like an award show of some sort. Not that it’s a relevant thing, but I will make it anyway. So, first up for the top 10 list is the best Sakamichi Series song of 2017. I decided to start with the Sakamichi Series because the 48 Group still has a few more releases to go, and I want to wait until they released it so I can give my full opinion on all of the song (at least I’ll wait until the NGT 2 nd single, because the NMB single is a little late on the year so I can’t review it in time). The Sakamichi Series has been doing an incredible job this year, especially in the music department.

11-Gatsu no Anklet Impression

Hello, and yes i know its late, but i guess its better to be late than never. so anyway, AKB48 has finally release their 50th single titled 11-Gatsu no Anklet. this single also doubled as Watanabe Mayu's final single because of course, she's graduating. i've listen to all of the song and watch all of the MV and this is my impression on it. 11-Gatsu no Anklet (Senbatsu) Let's start with the main song, and as usual when Mayu center a song, it tends to be quite flat. and this one is no different. this is definitely a Mayu song, it has a nice chorus to it, very catchy, but as i say, a bit flat. and there is one part that i really don't like about this song, that's the bridge between the verse/pre-chorus and the chorus itself, it sound so sudden and out of place that it almost ruined the whole song. i mean, i was enjoying the song quite nicely and then suddenly out of nowhere Mayu just scream OK!!! and then it goes to the chorus. honestly, i really don't li
