The AKB48 thread... yes the virus has spread even over here!!!
 

I'm not in my akb frenzy anymore
I don't even download their stuff anymore, or watch their performances
I just wanna talk about akb with people that are aware that good music also exists XD

I only know that Bongo also likes... but maybe there are other members who are hiding this guilty pleasure

So, feel free to discuss anything akb

btw, I think some akb song are really good!
maybe the most underrated is kodokuna hoshizora

OMFG! The Uza B-side is actually my FAVORITE AKB48 song ever! To think you get that AND UZA on the same CD.

MIND BLOWING!!!

Just a quick look at my foobar shows 93 AKB's I've given 5-stars. So many jamz! :P

I'm not ashamed!!!

The 46 groups also have tunes!



Solo stuff is also great! Masuda Yuka tune's like something from Persona! Wasamin is a legit quality Enka singer!

I love almost all the team A b-sides, but the true gems IMO are in the stages tracklists

Nowadays I guess the 46 groups get to record the best songs, it's been a while since I last enjoyed a 48 release... it was Yurigumi's Ambulance from the suki sugite single

maybe I have a thing for nurse costumes, maybe that's why I am here in these forums XDDDD

My favortite 46 song definetely is Koumori yo

I don't care if it sound like baby metal, I don't like baby metal, I like this song!!!!

I have to confess that Maeda's solo song are my favorite, she always got the best songwriters to work for her

but everyday I'm loving more and more Hoshino Michiru recent releases

I just love city pop, it's one of my favorite genres ever

City Pop the best pop! I spend so much money on this old shit! :o

HKT48 have always been my favorite of the 48's. I hope Haruppi comes back!

New song is great!

I don't buy music, but if I did I would buy city pop stuff for sure!
hkt was always my favorite in variety shows
but musically akb was my favorite until UZA
then nmb became my favorite musically, not only because of sayanee's voice but because their singles where always fun to listen to

and sayanee's solo songs from nmb stuff are really REALLY simply good music
like this song in any of its live performances (the studio version sucks IMO):

and ESPECIALLY this performance:

Aye, love a bit of Jungle Gym!

btw, I didn't even know Haruppi was on hiatus
this is so sad
ó_ò
I really like her and think she deserves more

another forgotten gem:

This one has Oshima Mai's vocals right? Her voice is so soothing, it sounds like a yoga instructor singing XD

I bought all their stage albums a couple of years ago, listened to them obsessively for months, pretty sweet stuff.

Current I like Haruna Aisaka best, not the music.
