Why I Like Senbatsu!

I've heard plenty of fans complaining about how horrible senbatsu is.  I know it is hard on the girls, but I think both the girls and you need to take things like a grain of salt!  I mean I get why the girls get stressed about it.  The whole point of senbatsu is to make you, the fans, happy.  YOU HAVE THE POWA~R!  Guess what happens if we end senbatsu: continuation of the status quo.  However, with the help of our massive voting power we make change.  We upset the status quo.  I don't know why anyone but Acchan is complaining.  When we let things be decided by us, we have beautiful moments (even if you are not their biggest fan).  For example:

Amina Sato making the #8 spot!

Matsui Rena making senbatsu.

Harugon going from theatre girls to senbatsu!

Shonichi (Team B) is voted the #1 song for the Top 100 (2009)

Oshima Yuko beats Maeda Atsuko for the top rank

You can't complain about how you want your favorite to be at the front, and that senbatsu is hard on the girls, AND you think the whole rock, paper, scissors competition for senbatsu is stupid.  Can no one make you happy?  That single is a guarantee that you'll see a senbatsu that you've never seen before.

AKB 600 SUBBED!!!! (and more)

Takajyo Aki's Episode

AKB 600secIdol

Sub.avi - Click here for the most popular videos

It is quite difficult to find subbed videos for AKB48.  The only exception really was the Majisuka Gakuen drama, which was somewhat updated in a fair amount of time.  I of course will keep you posted if I find more good English subbed videos.  This uploader has one more video, but it is about making ice cream so I'm not that interested.  ENJOY!.

New Mano Erina PV

I know a lot of people didn't like her previous singles, but this just seems cliche idol.  Before I found her more interesting and I liked her stuff better.  Now that her music just seems like plain, old, idol. . . I'm bored.  And I do enjoy cliche idol songs.  Mano Erina doesn't really have a strong personality or quality about her, so she can't pull it off.

Friend, Foe, Girlfriend (Wee...Round 2)

I can't wait a whole week.  I'm very impatient.  I know, bad.  Anyway here are are next subjects:

The graduating members of Morning Musume
Kamei Eri
LinLin
JunJun

The sexual harassment members of AKB48
Amina Sato
Rino Sashihara
Megumi Ohori or Yuko Oshima (because Ohori is now in SDN48)

Here is my example, enter your answers into the comment section:
Friend: JunJun (because we are both goofy)
Foe: LinLin (She is funny but my least favorite of the three)
Girlfriend: Eri (she is adorable and great girlfriend material)

Friend: Sashihara (she is an otaku/wota so we would get along great... I love maids!)
Foe: Ohori (She feels like a rival to me, always going after my favorite lolis!)
Girlfriend: Amina (She is so cute and I love cuddling)

'That Costume Is Too Bulky!'

Yes, we know.  But it is not being that way for the sake of just making the girls look like they gained ten pounds.  I thought we all understood by now that during the beginning set they usually do costume changes without any amount of time to do so.  Therefore, the designers have to come up with a set that fit on top of each other that also suit the song.  The girls are usually holding at least two other outfits under the first.  I just think people should not take it like 'what can you do?'  It is a trade off.  Less costume variety or one big costume for only the opening number.  Can we really not look past what the girls look like for one song?  There is only one instance that I can think of where they did this so flawlessly that it shocked me.  The first concert tour:

I was amazed at how tiny the costumes were yet there was another hidden beneath it, then another.  (Don't take what I saw personally, just got to vent my frustrations and opinions.)  Just enjoy it when they do the layering well.
