Endless Ranting on Japanese Idols...

Image
*immense shading alert!* Recently, there were news about the bitch army, AKB48, surpassing Ayumi Hamasaki's total sales, gaining the top spot as the best-selling female artist in the history of Japan. Firstly, it is definitely not history . Secondly, it is definitely not artist . I know Oricon only counts physical CD sales (national) to determine general sales, and they don't give crap whether they are solo or a group, but let me tell you why this is wrong on so many levels. I mean, I do support the whole CDs-only thing, but idols are not artists, so what the heck are they saying? Ayu did most of the work on her own, as an artist in general. She produced, composed and written her songs. She create concerts in her own way. That's an artist. What did AKB do? Yeah, you could argue they "worked hard". But, bitch, everybody works hard. It's just whether your efforts had any meaning. And Ayu, she is definitely a legend in her own right. She totally deserve he...

Endless Rambling on AKB48 - 2nd Anniversary SP

In my blog post here , which I posted 2 years ago, I was just becoming a fan of this giant pop army of pretty bitches known as AKB48. I've known of them beforehand, of course. Why wouldn't have I? But not that I knew of any of the members. But if you like a group, it always start with that one member, or a particular song the group sang. In this case, it started with their song Bokutachi wa tatakawanai , which, I must say, is amazing. Don't know why, lol. Then I came across with their 2014 General Election, in which Watanabe Mayu was crowned first place. I actually find this general ranking thing very interesting. I especially find it fascinating how prestigious the ranking is. It determines how high a member's popularity can get. Not that they will get any popular even when they are ranked higher, lol, but I guess that's how it works. The whole point of it, I think, is to determine who's the centre for their upcoming single. So basically, Mayu won first pl...

No one wants to mess with the AKB army!

Title:「僕たちは戦わない」 Artist: AKB48 Release date: 2015.05.20 I never really payed much notice of AKB48, but a lot of times they come across my path, and I can't help but give them some attention. AKB48 always seem like a giant group of bitches to me, and I know they have a lot of  male fans, because I'm sure us girls don't really want to be fans of a bunch of good-looking bitches who are all prettier than us. However, some of their music are worth mentioning because to be honest, some of them are actually quite good. Like their new single, Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai , which translates to "We will not fight" or something like that, I don't know, but I really like the song so I feel like I should use some of my time to do a song appreciation post on this. My favourite member of AKB48 is Watanabe Mayu. She's so pretty, definitely more beautiful than the others, and most of them are way too bitchy-looking to me, Mayu looks like a queen among the...
