Endless Rambling on AKB48 - 2nd Anniversary SP

Image
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...

Drama Thoughts: Tatakau! Shoten Girl

Title:「戦う!書店ガール」 Run time: 2015.04.14 - 06.09, Tuesday 10pm I seriously do not understand why this drama had such low viewership ratings. I mean, I know people don't really watch that much television anymore, but for a drama this good, it was a bit of a shame. But since this drama is mostly about books, I guess it's not many people's kind of shit. The thing is, I love books. Books is my life. I have lost count of how many books I've read in my life. I have worked in a library before, and currently I, too, work in a bookstore (yeah, I finally told you where I work, sigh). Which was why when this drama was first announced, I couldn't wait to see it. The title is Tatakau! Shoten Girl , which literally translates to "Fight! Bookstore Girl". And since I can relate to the drama with my real personal life, it makes it that much more good. Except the fact that my colleagues are all older men and women, and none my age, I envy the fact that in the drama...

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...
