Placard of the Heart

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!

Saikyou CHIIMU wa K! K! K!

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.

There’s joy in this video. The dude playing the guitar. The two backing singers. They’re all having fun.

Now the song is pretty joyous itself even though I don’t understand a word of it. The hoots and hollers make it even more fun to sing along. Sing along! Just follow the backing singers. If you play guitar, play along! Stomp your feet! And if you got mariachis? Shake them as well. This song could also use some cow bell, too.

Lately, blogging has been difficult…

I doubt my writing has been any good. The last year of movie reviews? I was just doing it on duty to you my reader. I’m sorry that it has been sucky. I don’t know what to do…

I’ll just sing along. Play a guitar. Stomp my feet and sing!

Hey, is that a 5 string bass that girl is playing? I think she makes this song with that 5 string bass of hers.

BTW, it’s a cover the Scandal Japan’s Shunkan Sentimental. Done by Joshikousei… I wish I got that dang, Japanese iTunes card for Secret Santa.

Been pretty infatuated with this song by Scandal, a Japanese girl band. I just find it fascinating coming from josikosei. Let’s all rock out!

Wait, there’s a rocking Houkago Tea Time tune that I never heard before? And it’s sung by Yui? How come it’s taken me this long to hear Curry Nochi Rice? I’ve actually heard it in the second season of the anime, but not until the K-ON! movie did I get to listen to it. It’s another favorite.
