The Show
So, this week on AKB48 Show ep19, apart from Takamina appearing on her segment, where she was actually a guest this time, the show was dominated by Nogizaka46. Indeed just like Cap said to Ikoma-kun in the opening sequence, it totally was the Nogizaka46 Show.
Sadly we only got that segment with Iku-chan, Hashimoto and Mai and the one with Takamina. The rest was song time. Actually maybe I shouldn’t be sad since they performed two of my Top 3 Nogizaka46 songs – Kimi no nawa kibou and Seifuku no mannequin.
To make things ever that much better, Kimi no nawa kibou, my favourite Nogizaka46 song, they did the LIVE version I love so much with Iku-chan on the piano! Man that song gives me eargasms every time I hear it especially LIVE. They really need to release this acoustic version of this song on the album (when it gets released) because it’s just too good to not be professionally recorded for infinity pleasure of listening!
Really great choice choosing Seifuku no mannequin as the other song too. I love that song and how it shows off the other side of the girls. Well, almost all songs so far have shown different sides of the girls but since I am a cool-factor freak, well, SnM takes the cake. And this is personal but seeing Minami-chan again really puts a huge smile on my face. I miss her in senbatsu.
I would have preferred if they did Baretta or Tsuki no Ookisa instead of Sonna baka na but then again, those two songs are also cool and we already have SnM so I understand why they chose to go with this fun song instead. Yeah, the show was awesome on the music side of things.
On the show side of things, Takamina and Sakurai of course talked about the leadership thing and Takamina asked about what we are all curious about, the Centre switcharoos they are doing now for every other single. And of course she asks about how Ikoma must feel about that but she also sees the change in her from when she was the Centre to now.
I too can see it, the change I mean. She is more fun now than when she was the Centre. Of course Ikoma is still the Face of Nogizaka even if she is no longer the Centre. I wonder how long will we have to wait until she centres another single. Yeah, can’t help but come to the conclusion that she is still the best choice for Centre. Oh well, who knows, maybe there will be someone who will be fit for the role more than her. Not in the current members though. Maybe in the 3rd Gen? Usually things get complicated around the 3rd Gen entry. On the other hand, this means we might yet get to see a Iku-chan centre as well (she was looking smashin in that suit, huh?) ^^ or maybe a Minami Centre, you never know (when she completes her diet mission).
Any who, I hope there is another Nogizaka Show episode coming our way. I want more awesome Nogizaka songs.

Nogizakatte Doko–U R Ma Valentine Part 1
AMEN!
Nogizaka is taking no prisoners people for they are putting on even more pressure but upping the awesomeness of their TV shows! This week’s Nogizakatte Doko takes all kinds of serious cake with its theme alone!
That’s right, Valentine’s is just right around the corner so what better way than to make an episode of gift exchanging? No no, don’t cry yet as you remember back to last year’s episode. Nope, this time it’s totally different and all kinds of awesome. Not only are the girls exchanging gifts, but they are between each other, No Himura cock-blocking this time. Better yet, they have to accompany the exchanging with a confession. Like, is that GOLD or what?! I mean, I gotta confess but though I had an inkling of what might happen from last episode’s preview, I did not think they would actually go and do it but they so did! All hail Nogizaka!
And to make things all that much more awesome, we only got through 8 of the sixteen girls, meaning that the next episode is a continuation of this awesomeness! But unlike AKB that will make you wait for the best until the very last, Nogizaka balances things out pretty well by starting with just not anybody but Wakatsuki-sama herself!
Let the drama commence!

Go home and suck on ur mommy’s titties little boy
Said one Anee, Takayama Kazumi!
Yep, the Nogizaka girls are here to take over once again in the next instalment of NOGIBINGO! This time around, the girls are acting out a selected few fan’s fantasies and as we see above, some are just crazy. But the girls still do it any way because…The trio’s fantasy requester is obviously into some S&M shenanigans but not all are that twisted. Case in point…
[NGZ46!] So, SHAKISM….
Couples every where!
Danso Heaven!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how rare, how bulls-eye and simply awesome the concept of Shakism is?
Please?
Okay, one might ask what the big deal is apart from the obvious (danso) as the baselines aren’t that new but it all comes down to execution. The danso idea was already there. Every fan across the globe knows of the No-Love rule.
But despite those facts, they still let AKB girls get it on with males in their PVs like it ain’t no big deal. Can we just imagine the awesomeness that would have been Gingham Check had Yukirin been kissing a danso AKB member as opposed to that Dude that sent all the fans on rampage? Wouldn’t the fans have been much happier had Yuko and Mayuyu been fighting over Sae-man? Has this happened in the 48 family? Will it ever happen in the 48 family? I think not!
And so I give Nogizaka’s SHAKISM’s director the utmost praise at pulling off what can only be thought of as one of the best for-the-fans PV ever! AKB doesn’t do that anymore, if it ever did. They are falling into the trap that is BUSINESS!
“OMG our girls are too popular now to be mistreated. We have a wider audience to appeal to now so we have to average out our uniqueness.” – so saith AKS.
Well dearest AKS, IDGAS!!!
Nogizaka not only did that right but making half the girls play the boys’ part but they touched upon the No.1 rule in such a way that will drill the idea into those who simply did not get the grasp of it. Not only that but it falls within the main genres except comedy.
We have Sci-Fi in the futuristic setting (what, with teh lazers and all that post apocalyptic feel it has). Then there is action (“”What are you saying – that I can doge bullets?), there is drama of course. There is romance, duh, and I also want to include adventure in relation to the fact that they referenced TDKR. We shall be getting into that.
Then we also have the usual shonen formula, – Main starts out the weakest then by end ends up the strongest MF to ever have waked the earth (“No. I am saying that when you are read, you won’t have to”)!
All those point to SHAKISM being some generic PV but I assure you that I have been watching this Every day since it appeared on the NET! And now that I have the HQ, let’s get down to business.
