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

Image
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...

11-Gatsu no Anklet Impression

Image
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...

Vision of the Future AKB48 Sousenkyo Version

Image
Hello and welcome to another post, this time i want to talk about a subject that i want to make for a while. so, not too long ago i made a post about what the Nogizaka46 senbatsu would look like sometime in the future ( you can check it out if you haven't ) and now i'm going to make something similar but with the AKB48 group senbatsu. for this i'm going to make 2 part, first part where i talk about the Sousenkyo Senbatsu line up. the second part is with the normal, management pick senbatsu line up. for the time, i'm going to take the same as what i did with Nogizaka, and that is on 2020. i should point out that this list is purely subjective, so a lot of you might disagree with it, and that's fine because everyone has their opinion. so, without further ado, here's my prediction for the top 16 of the 2020 AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo. 16. Nakai Rika (NGT48) We open things up with the princess of NGT herself, Nakai Rika. the first center of NGT and she...
