'And Cut!' the staff applaud to the young actress standing on stage. She bowed to the director and crew and thanked them for their hard work. In return she was given a bouquet of flowers. She smiled and thanked them once again as she slowly walked off the stage and out of the building.
She walked towards the van her manager was in, 'You did a grate job today' he said as she slowly made her way inside. The driver looked back at her as she shut the door and sat next to her joyful manager and then looks forward to start the vehicle. 'They will no doubt love the commercials once they are edited...

HKT48 Theater manager, first post on G+ about what happened at the handshake event.

とても悲しい出来事が起きてしまいました。
What happened it’s a very sad thing.

このテロ行為を決して許すわけにはいきません。
This act of terror can’t be allowed at all.

これに屈することなく立ち向かう。
We’ll face it without shrinking.

入山、川栄、スタッフのキズが一日でも早く癒されますよう、心からお祈り致します。
We pray with our hears in order to make Iriyama’s, Kawaei’s and the staff member’s wounds heal even just one day earlier.

The sky changes its
clothes
Over the spring-coloured
street corner
But I’m still oblivious
To the scents of flowers and love
A part of my heart is missing
And I have no confidence
So when I’m blown in the wind
I get anxious
In the gaps between the trees of
love
Loneliness
Creates a shadow
Please choose my love
Just one
Of your classmates
Yeah, will be your girlfriend
Please choose my love
All the girls are cute
And all the girls have great
personalities
I’m probably outside your range
The one area
Where I can win
Is that I love you
More than anyone else does
A shower starts
Without an umbrella
I
Kept looking
For a...

I want you!
I need you!
I love you!
The blaring music
Playing in my head
Is on heavy rotation
The words “I love you” dance
Like popcorn
Popping
Just thinking
Of your face and voice
Makes me go crazy
I’m so lucky
To get to feel like this
I want you!
I need you!
I love you!
I got to meet you
As the distance between us shrinks
rapidly
I’m in high spirits to the max
I want you!
I need you!
I love you!
The love that’s constantly
overflowing
In my heart
Is on heavy rotation
How many times
Does each person fall in love
In their life?
If I can have
Just one unforgettable love
I’ll be satisfied
Does everyone burst into bloom...

As of today the investigation is officially over. They found that no members were involved in the whole Maho case. So they're basically calling a victim a lair. Thank goodness MOST fans and the general public are not falling for this. How stupid do you take us. Maho went online to vent after management FAILED to do their job and investigate for over a month. She cried after being neglected and showed that there is favoritism when it comes to girls who come from a wealthier standing and more powerful company.
We all are expecting Maho to graduate in the next couple of weeks. They already tried to paint her as a mentally ill woman. So yeah FUCK THE MEN. FUCK NGT. FUCK ASK. FUCK NIIGATA POLICE DEPATEMENT. AND FUCK THE INVESTIGATORS.

You all failed the person who was the victim in all this, Yamaguchi Maho. As of right now some fans might have forgiven you but we won't and by looks of it neither is the Japanese general public.
Don't forget her face. Don't forget her voice. Don't forget her story. Don't forget Yamaguchi Maho!
Don't forget her face. Don't forget her voice. Don't forget her story. Don't forget Yamaguchi Maho!

So as you may all know AKB is coming to NYC for Japan Day. I can't wait. I'm so excited to meet some girls (a few were selected to go). And it's Japan Day!!! I remember going last year and I thought the even was really good and fun. I want to meet them so I'll do my best to be free that day.

I hope you guys can come out for that day. And even if you don't really like AKB the festival is really fun and you get to learn a lot about Japan. You get to see an art contest. And the whole thing is really family friendly if your scared to run into something you would not want your parents to see you seeing it won't happen.

Wish our girls a safe trip!!

It’s me. AKB48 Team B’s Watanabe Mayu.

This year, regarding my speech on senbatsu sousenkyo two year’s ago that I told that I want to be the first, I’ve made a bet.

However, This year that dream come true.

That time to become the first, was a year full of hard work. Earnestly I were really serious to work hard, put all my effort, I were thinking that no other thing over it.

At once, to think of giving up my dream, such thing was ever been in my mind. However, that time, you are all the fans encouraged me up.

"The next time, definitely, you will dance on the first position"

Takamina: Sweet leader or Dark Lord
Takamina: Sweet leader or Dark Lord
Yes the title seem crazy but please here me out on this. So if you ever watched any of the Harry Potter movies you know that students get placed into separate houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Voldemort was in Slytherin and so would Takamina.
I know what you may be asking, how could Takamina be in Slytherin when she's obviously a Gryffindor? Well here are some of the characteristics of a Slytherin; values ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness.
Values ambition, Takamina was one of the most ambitious AKB48 member to date. Her dream was to perform in Tokyo Dome...

Surpassing our 1st-3rd gen senpai is difficult. But, I feel like I was able to tear down some “walls” this year.

It’s your first time in the “Kami 7”, congratulations.

Thank you very much! I ranked even higher than I imagined so I was shocked.

How were you feeling in the days leading up to the general election?
Last year, I was worried if I’d be able to make it into senbatsu, but this year, I didn’t care about my ranking as much and was feeling more comfortable. Although I was thinking “I hope I can rank higher than last year”, I didn’t feel too pressured and I was able to stay...

10. Sakura no hanabiratachi

Center: Takahashi Minami
Release Date: 2006.02.01


AKB48 first released this indie single back in 2006 with the original Team A as Senbatsu. With Takahashi Minami as center the song begins with the Japanese school bell ringing. The song then begins to describe the last days of the spring calendar,which in Japan is when students graduate from school, and the blossoming of cherry blossoms. They also describe their classmates as looking like adults in their school uniform. Remembering both bitter and fun times they recall these days as feeling nostalgic. The song ends...
