Music Videos to lighten your day
J-Pop morphed into K-Pop from NMB48, AKB48’s sister group from the Osaka region of Japan. I like it, because it doesn’t sound like any of their other J-Pop idol songs.
Did you study? Do you know who is who? Are you as excited as I am to catch this video?
I am an idol otaku at the moment.
Amazingly, I’ve caught up with the history of AKB48. It was only two weeks ago that I started watching their videos on youtube. I moved onto watching as many AKBINGO! shows on youtube as possible. There are over 200 episodes, and many have been subbed in English. I’ve gotten some favorite segments on the show. You can’t beat cute girls trying to cook or competing in a dodge ball match in which, when you get knocked out, you have to perform some crazy stunt. They also do a thing called ‘shoujiki shougi’
I’ve been watching their videos day and night. It’s so many I’ve gotten to know the girls.
Now it’s your turn.
This video features Mayu Watanabe in the center position. She won last year’s General Election becoming the fan favorite for the past year. She lost this year’s General Election to Rino Sashihara. You can catch her in the blue to Mayu’s right. Also, in this one is Minami Takahashi, the short one. She’s AKB48’s mother hen, and she’s retiring this year. Jurina Matsui is the young one. Yuki Kashiwagi is the first runner up. Kojima Haruna is there, too.
Dang. I’m starting to recognize them!
I spent the weekend watching AKB48 videos. Did you see the one earlier today? That was Team B. This is Team K, the best team. It doesn’t have Mayuyu, but these girls absolutely kick it with energy. These are the ‘genki’ girls. I believe Team B has the girly girls. Later, Team A will be here as the ladies of the bunch.
No music in a long while. I don’t know why. Perhaps I don’t blog enough. I can’t dance.
