A K B [E]

So. Many. Girls. But I shall do my best! From what I've read, I'm starting into this not too long after after a major team re-grouping (yes, no ?) And it was just sprung on the girls!! How mean, grr. But, for starters, Team A! It's very hard to find an accurate listing or picture, since things have changed. So I'm using the current list on Wikipedia. Maybe I'll ask Rae for some info, since she's such a fan~ (ILU RAEBEE)
Team A ; Takahashi Minami (captain), Minegishi Minami, Kojima Haruna, Shinoda Mariko, Iwasa Misaki, Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi, Takajo Aki, Kitahara Rie, Ooya Shizuka, Fujie Reina, Miyazaki Miho, Satou Amina, Nakata Chisato, Suzuki Mariya, Maeda Ami, & Satou Yukari.

17 girls in all. Just click it for a larger picture~ As you can probably tell, I had to make Yukari's myself, since I couldn't find her in the three similar-looking listings of the different teams. Also, in the image, the names are backwards, but they came like that and I wasn't going to spend the time changing them around, lol. Forgive me if this is in any way inaccurate, all I have to work off is public listings online.



jpopasia.com lists 85 songs for AKB48, so I'll probably be using it as my reference. Though Wikipedia has a good Discography section for the group, so I'll check there too. I mostly use Youtube for videos, & Mediafire and 4shared for when there is no PV. I'll put a A K B [E] playlist on my Youtube profile, same as with H!PE.

j-ongaku.org shows AKB as having 12 subgroups, some no longer active. I will be covering as many as those groups as possible with whatever my handy-dandy computer can find on the internet! I plan to start from the beginning and work my way forward, but I feel I must start with this video.



Sakura no Shiori; This song takes my breath away. It is so beautiful. I only first listened to it a handful of hours ago, and I've been listening to it again and again since then. It makes me feel so calm and peaceful, as lame as that sounds. I also really like the lyrics. The girls (whom I barely even know a thing about yet!) have already blown my mind with this breath-taking song.

And I'll admit, I downloaded the entire zip file, so I've also listened to; Majisuka Rock en Roll, Enkyorii Poster, and Choose Me! I should work some on H!PE, but I guess I'll go ahead and cover the rest of this Single, so it's done. Then I'll start from the beginning.



I love this song to pieces. It's so upbeat, and all the girls sound simply amazing! One thing I am confused about though; it's listed as '(Song by Team PB)' and I even see the girls holding up signs with those letters. What does that mean?

Anyways, this is easily a favorite of mine. I've been listening to 3/4's of these songs all freaking night and morning, and I looooove them. AKB48, I salute you! Lots and lots of props. I still love H!P, but AKB48 is awesome as well.



Crazy fun! Gotta love the wildness, lol. I do like this song, since the girls are so cute being all Rock'n Roll. It's a nice change from their other songs. The PV is fun, gotta love the uniforms too. The song just has a more rockin' sound to it, and not so much their usual pop-style; especially the chorus. This is my least favorite of the four though, so I haven't been listening to it as much. But definitely worth a listen! Good song!



UWAH! When I first heard this, I liked it, but I liked Enkyorii Poster and Sakura no Shiori more. Not any more!! This is my favorite of the four (well, I'm not quiet sure where to put Sakura in the list), it just grew on me as I listened to the songs over and over.

But, again. '(Song by Team YJ)' means what? I am guessing the PB and YJ stand for something, obviously the different teams, I just don't make the connection between those letters. I'll have to look into it more. My internet is being retarded right now (;w;)

So I'm going to sign off on this blog, and try and work on H!PE some. Tata~
