Anonymous asked: i hope next year some other girls will join sayaka should she decide to run again, but marathon running takes quite some time to train for. maybe after the art club aki-p should start an athletics club.

Anonymous asked: From Aki-P's google+: 明日か明後日、ぐぐたす選抜発表です。コマーシャルの中身が明らかに。A little breather, guys. Don't be too discouraged because of current NMB's darkness!
Anonymous asked: Wait I still don't understand how Ainyan is involved in this mess. Hotel manager leak? what? O.O
Anonymous asked: sorry about being a little slow, but what is this NMB rumour going around???
Anonymous asked: nmb... orz at this rate, i'm afraid the worst-case scenario would be temporary disbandment or something. if there is some truth to this,it's hard not to imagine the management doing something as drastic,just to teach everyone a lesson. somehow, it feels like they don't really have a full grasp of how the senpai groups shed sweat & blood to bring the 48-fam to the top,since they...
Anonymous asked: Sorry, even if you put up the Kaito guy's blog, it don't help me to understand the gravity of the situation. I understand practically nothing of Japanese. You mentioned Keira. Is she in trouble? Yes, the Kaito guy contacted her, but did she reply?
Anonymous asked: And continuing from the blackmail theory earlier, so the only reason they would call Sayanee would be cause imo they were forced to or they were genuinely looking for help after being possibly blackmailed and she was the first they thought of. Instead, Nana found out, misinterpreted the whole situation, and they were reported. Could that be possible?
Anonymous asked: I don't know if this is extreme but has anyone ever considered blackmail?? What caught my attention was about the story how Akarin and Shiokichi tried to contact Sayanee but failed and Nana found out instead. First of all, unless they were forced to by Kaito + friend, I can't imagine them ever calling sayanee out to hang out with them in a hotel room. I MEAN WHO WOULD ASK THEIR CAPTAIN...
Anonymous asked: Tbh, this is really fishy to me. The fact that he practically involved every NMB top girl is like he and his gang are basically trying to draw attention, trying to show off they're that great being able to attract all these girls to them. It sounds more like deliberate name dropping to me to intentionally make a particular girl involved when she may not even had a single hand at this at all.
Anonymous asked: NMB is my fav 48group, so I was bothered by this. Kaito and his gang need to FUCK OFF. forgive the language. unless he wants their careers to be ruined. Oh wait, he's probably a selfish, inconsiderate bastard who doesn't care about that. And the girls if they're willingly meeting wotas in private, they really need to think properly of what their priorities are.
Anonymous asked: How Maachun is involved?
Anonymous asked: Hi, can I ask what's "hotelgate"?
Going to bed. It felt weird reading the Google Plus accounts of certain members.
But I’m sticking with Sayanee and co.
I hope Aki-P deals with this in private though. It’s not as public since it’s just the internet and a not actually published, but yeah. This has to stop.
On the plus side Jakarta went great and Gladiator Akimoto Sayaka completed her marathon! Though there...
Anonymous asked: wow..your responses to these questions make this issue seem really serious o_o So is the evidence definitely incriminating to the point where the girls wouldn't be able to deny it happened?
Anonymous asked: Are there any signs of this scandal being spread? Are a lot of Japanese fans talking about it right now? Or is it only known among a few fans... I feel like this shouldn't be buried. It's a serious issue, and it should be addressed by the big heads before something like this happens again. Just covering it up wouldn't suffice.
Anonymous asked: If this is released in the media, I can't see how nmb will survive this. Their idol image would totally be destroyed.
Anonymous asked: Is there a picture of this Kaito guy? I cannot for the love of god understand why the fuck these girls would even associate with a wota who BLOGS about hanging out with the girls. Can you please try to explain this to me? I'm astounded. And how the hell exactly is Kaito even managing to persuade these girls to give him the time of day?!
Anonymous asked: These wotas are fucking nuts, preying after underage girls. It's a real shame this had to happen.. So basically captain knew but didn't report it? This is all so regretful...
Anonymous asked: What did Yamada Nana do?
Anonymous asked: How the hell do these wotas even get in contact with these girls?! And why do some of these girls reciprocate contact? /facepalm Do you think this issue might blow up in the media?
Anonymous asked: I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to all of this-but how could it destroy the whole ship? From what I gather in that post it seems like some of the nmb girls had relationship with some hardcore wotas? Please correct me if I'm wrong..I'm pretty shocked that this could have happened though-how on earth would these girls even manage to work together if this happened? Wouldn't it have...
Anonymous asked: Can you please tell us more about the nmb48 rumor?

God. If all this NMB stuff turns out to be true, then this is a crippling blow. Not even a crippling one, this may turn the ship over.
Truthfully, it’s kinda scary to me as a fan. And if the Captain herself is in, then…I don’t even know what to say.

Sashihara Rino's Nice Assist
Before I start off I need to introduce a few people. Nakai Masahiro, leader of SMAP is the man with the scratchy voice, Master Shofukutei Tsrube is the elderly man, Mori Sanchu’s Kurosawa, Harisenbon’s Kondo Haruna and actor Matsuyama Kenichi (GANTZ, Norwegian Wood, Taira no Kiyomori) also appear on this show. And of course, AKB48’s Sashihara Rino.

Anonymous asked: What do Japanese fans think of the new commercial for suicide prevention featuring AKB? I think it's great but I wish they wouldn't be wearing their usual miniskirt combo because it should stand out more. :)
Anonymous asked: Why do you think aki-p chose to reveal that kaoru's pushing wasn't his decision? Was it to appease the fans who were complaining about the push? Also, what role does management exactly have in being able to push these girls? I had no idea they could influence aki-p to make those sort of significant actions. Thank you for your always informative responses!
Anonymous asked: What do you think it takes for certain girls to get pushed? For example, I feel like Kimoto Kanon has been on a nice rise. But then there's kaoru whom I feel like has blown up out of nowhere..
Anonymous asked: Hi, love your work - I can't believe your 16?!! You seem way more mature than I was at your age. I was wondering since you're asked to translate other people's interests / oshis and OTPs - Have any certain girls or ships grown on you because of it? (Basically, have the commenters influenced you in anyway? )

AKBINGO 2/22/12
A new week of Shojiki Shogi returns, this time with a year of work under their belts, the 9th generation returns to Shojiki Shogi! No longer part of AKBeginner, but rather as capable members and future leaders of AKB. Weird to not see Paruru here though, since we have a lot of 9th gen. But then again, she sorta….blends in. Also weird to note is that Kawaei Rina is in Jakarta. I don’t...
