Hey, check out this post ->

So if you haven't noticed, I am still somewhat of a noob.  I've never seen them (any of them) live and I only recently started purchasing merch and CDs (one copy at most).  So if someone who has insight, wisdom, or just advice on handling certain situations and such is great.  I've been checking up on the millions of blogs I follow and I found a helpful and interesting post about being a good wota when idols come overseas.  I thought I throw in a cute image I found on Tumblr.  (Comments are always appreciated!)

***For the new YuiKaori PV . (I know I do that a lot) . . The girls remind me of Dakota Fanning in The Runaways.

After the jump are some videos that I found on YouTube.  One of lolita idol (Kanon Wakeshima) talking to Kawaii Japan w/ subs.  The other is a PV preview of the star of LIFE.

Notice someone in the background?  AKBingo! and AKB 600 are two shows that I'm absolutely addicted to.  Now that I'm heading off to college I'm worried about using a torrents and trackers, and without that it'll be hard to watch these darlings (direct downloads can be at times unreliable with consistent updates).  Anyway, even though I have some harsh criticism for the upcoming single and their promotional videos, I truly do love them.  I can't wait for it to come out!  I am just hard to please because I want it to be the very best and when there is over 48 girls (depending on if you include trainees and other groups) face time is a significant issue.  Thanks for reading and maybe some of the other bloggers might bring in a new perspective.  (If you do want to guest write/ blog . . . let me know.  It would be helpful {just for theme sake} if you are somewhat new {not an expert}.)

I want one of those dresses!  The pattern is very nice.  Takamina looks so much better with her hair down.  By the way, do you think Haruna has been looking tired lately?  I don't know if the cover suits the single after watching the PV.  They were dirty and on the street.  Here they look elegant and clean.

This is the Type A cover for the upcoming AKB48 single, the one where the first-press release gets you a code to vote for your favorite.  I love the pose Maeda is doing, everyone else looks slightly off.  Yes, I am still upset that Jurina is on their single cover...Sae didn't even end up on Type B! 

Yes she is opening up a blog.  I am not too excited because she reminds me of Jurina, who I don't even love when she is with SKE48.  I have not yet heard anyone mention how awful her hair looks.  It looks like a wig!  She looked like a model with black hair.  Her as a brunette just looks bad.

***I am having upload issues again, so hopefully these pictures don't disappear.  Thanks to those who uploaded these.

This is Team Ogi from AKB48.  I don't know much about them, but it looks like they combined two units (No Sleeves and Watari Roka Hashiritai) and Cindy (the graduated Team B captain).  Here is their website.  Thanks to The Ultimate Idols for the picture.  I went and made my own picture, but the uploader for the newest editor is weird and rarely works properly.  I miss the old one a lot.

Random Image of the Day... that was fast

Oh be quiet!  Congrats to AKB48 for their 2nd Best Of Album almost selling 300,000 copies in the first week.  It is #1 on the Oricon charts!  Their singles have been doing really well, plus this.  I feel like it is similar to the early (w/ fourth generation) years of Morning Musume.  Swimsuit battles, hit singles, busy schedules, graduated and new members!  I watched AX2009 and AX2010 while on break, without internet for a while, from start to finish.  I found that I like to love all their songs.  There are a couple, namely Christmas songs, that I don't care about.  However, I made it all better by making up the lyrics.  Hint: I'm going to kill Santa cause he ate my cookies, but if Santa does not exist it was my boyfriend.  I'll poison both just to be sure!

Issues & POLL ENDING SOON!

Only one person has voted for the poll so far.  I have six subscribers, or is it seven now?  I'm not going to bother checking, yeah I'm lazy, shut your face!  Your Mom?  What was that?

Moving on... Sorry bout the post that wasn't a new post.  Now that I have the new editor I can do the whole 'Read More' thing, so I've been going through old posts and editing them to make things look better.

I am ending Random Image of the Day.  I'll do random RIotD from now on.  I would like feedback if you would like me to re-continue this or the AKBingo! Overviews.  Thanks!

I like the new banner, but Mikitty's jaw is bothering me.  Should I change it?  I was thinking my banner of Ayase Haruka.  Then I would do another side banner for H!P.

Hopefully that will hold you off until I get back. If you noticed how much longer this poll is open for here is the deal: I'll be in Hawaii. I don't know how much internet access I'll get, considering that I got mine taken away for going on YouTube. Therefore, I won't be posting till I get back (not next wed. but the one after that).

I tried to fit these to regular wallpaper size, but they still don't seem right.

Oshima Yuko and Shinoda Mariko of AKB48. I've always thought Yuko was really entertaining, but I fell in love with the whole package after watching her solo at AX2009. She also sounds great in Confessions. The inflection of her voice is brilliant! Next is of course Sado. I'm never going to call her anything else. I never really cared about her too much. I thought she was always pretty and good, but nothing stuck out. Until SADO. She should of won, it was too obvious that Maeda wins in the end. Oh well.

Umeda Erika, graduated member of C-ute, has released some new modeling photos. I wonder what Kusumi Koharu's will look like.

Okai Chisato of C-ute does not look too thrilled to be there. Next to graduate?

Here are all the successful failures of Morning Musume Auditions

Hey, this guy has candy!

Kashiwagi Yuki:
She is the captain of Team B of AKB48. She auditioned for Morning Musume to be a member of the 8th generation, however as you can see she didn't make it. After being rejected she got picked up by AKB48 and is now one of their front girls. She was one of the leads in AKB48's musical Infinity. She has already released a solo photobook and DVD which is more than any of the 8th gen of Morning Musume can say. She is spectacular in every way.
If you would like to learn more about her: check this out

Kana Kobayashi:
I first noticed her during AX2009 concert when she was performing the Team K 16 people track. I don't know her that well, but I've always thought she was pretty cute. She was transferred to Team B during the shuffle. She really cracked me up when she was in that goofy costume hoping for her song to be the #1 request in AX2009. (she is in the bottom left corner)

I mentioned her before...it is Aika Oto also known as LOVETAN! She is adorable. She may look innocent, but she has the mouth of a sailor (Shukan swimsuits competition). Her break out performance for me was during AX2009 when she performed that lolita, cat, balloon number. She has a beautiful voice, evidence at the end of AX2010 during a MC. I will always support you!

Sato Amina
One of my favorites, and I have a lot, from AKB48. She is now a member of Team B. I would say I love Team B, but I love each team. She has just hypnotizing eyes. A cute, helium voice. I always thought that she was really skinny. Then I saw her during the swimsuit special of Shukan, and noticed that she is an average gal. I only love her more, because one of the best things about an idol is when he/she is natural and relatable.

Nakajima Saki (C-ute) looks really cute in this picture. AND she has her mouth closed! She reminds me a bit of Ogawa during this moment, but less humorous, because they both look like they try REALLY hard to keep their mouths closed.

Minami Minegishi, Haruna Kojima, and Minami Takahashi from AKB48 starred in their own drama called Mendol Ikeman Idol. They get caught up in some criminal activity, but then they get offered to become idols. However, if they want to be idols they have to be dressed as guys.
