[NMB48 & Yukirin] Here we go…

AWWWWWWWWWWWWYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Pardon, don’t let the delicious pics of Yukirin fondling Milky fool you (well do but you know what I mean) for this is not that kind of positive post. It is about Yukirin and NMB, that is her Kennin position, and me essentially defending her. Though I am not sure why I need to, especially from this!

Now, I know and I am sure everyone too does, that it was bound to happen. She was bound to get back-lash for it, it was inevitable. Really, even I questioned that decision of her Kennin when it was first announced and still do but for some reason, there seems to be a fire building now for some reason. This fire was of course sparked by the announcement of the new NMB single, first one since the shuffled in fact which makes it Yukirin’s first NMB single too.

Now, all Yukirin fans out there will know that we are alike she and us in that we like to keep to our selves and let things pass us by and I was planning to do just that this time around too. But then a second person posted a comment that was like and  in support of that first one which went on to say how not okay it is that Yukirin gets to be Centre, um, to be the 2nd, Oh wait, the 3rd, nope, the fourth Na uh, the fifth in the new single’s line-up when she rarely is in N stages. She has in fact only appeared twice!

Now I ignored that first comment because I figured maybe they are new and needed to get this off their chest.

But then another user on the same forum posts the same point about Yukirin. I also ignore that. But then I go to another of my many public hangouts that I frequent and guess what I find? That’s right, another discussion going on about the same subject. Now, I am pretty sure that it isn’t the same people judging from the sites’ natures but I realised that unless someone actually tackles this, the fire might spread and our Kami would start getting negative exposure. We might be quiet folk but that doesn’t mean we are going to sit back and let our Kami be walked all over especially for something as silly. Silly because this is not new, this has been going on since I can remember. The more popular a member is the more busy they get outside AKB and thus the less AKB activities they will be involved in. Members who are only in one Team were already having difficulty performing in stages some spending even over half a year without appearing now factor in being in two different Teams, that are located in different parts of the country for those members and what do you expect?

Of course these views already started with things like ‘It isn’t her fault’ or ‘I don’t blame her’ but we all know what the sentences following these disclaimers always shows (I mean no disrespect…, I’m not racist but… >_>).

I know some NMB fans are frustrated, wait, why am I saying NMB fans? Yukirin is NMB too so by saying that it means she is not NMB, or they don’t think she is NMB and why would she be in a single if she isn’t NMB? And if she isn’t, if she is only AKB, that means that she shouldn’t be appearing in AKB singles as well because she just as rarely appears in Team B stages.

Speaking of that, let’s take a reverse approach. Take all the Sister Group members that appear in AKB singles, despite never appearing in an AKB stage! Why are they in them then? Ask yourself that first then get to Yukirin.

And first of all, think of the member you are questioning, their position in the whole 48G, their importance, not to you but to the product that is AKB as a whole! She could have easily been the Centre of the single but she isn’t! Not only is it Sayanee but Milky is ahead of her, and she was in line with Nana in Ibiza girl, not ahead of her. For this single, she is in fact 5th in standing. You already have it good, asking for more is being greedy.

Just because you are an employee at a restaurant, it doesn’t mean that when you go there for dinner as a customer you are going to be looked after better than if the Prime Minister went there. Crud example I know but it should pass the point across.

Besides, it makes no difference if she was in the last row or third or second, the point is that she isn’t in the first one despite the difference (power) between her and those in front of her.

But why now though? I shudder to think what these comments would have been like if she was the Centre in front of SayaMilky. Oh God, thank you so much for this. I didn’t think I would be grateful to Management for their disservice towards Yukirin.

Why is she getting a position when she rarely performs or even appears on NMB TV shows? Why? So that you can then turn around and complain about how she is taking up other chances for other members to get exposure by taking up a TV place? So KKS members (and other Team members in the case of Team B)  lose a chance to be known by taking over her place in her absence? if anything we fans should be the ones complaining because we don’t see her as much in AKB-related works! Really, this whole thing is…

Anyway, that’s that! I hope this doesn’t go any further! I am usually calm but when the pushing turns to shove, I am forced to stand up for my Kami to her defence because she is too good to do it herself sometimes unless it is about someone she cares about then she does act! But when it’s about her, it is on us as fans to protect her and so I write this post, in reaction to the comments about her getting free stuff by getting a position in NMB senbatsu when she doesn’t perform in stages as often.

Apparently she is a nobody member lazing at home doing nothing and only shows up to take away positions in senbatsu from the other 60 odd girls that deserve it…

Sigh

Okay, enough is enough…So, that groping though>.< Would that make Milky the first ever girl to be groped by Yukirin? She is really breaking new ground these days. First that Yui-han kissing (she is really not good at affection to those who don’t know), then during Haachan’s graduation performance she comes out and says how unfair everyone even management were on 3rd gens as a Team (Yukirin isn’t really a person to say things like that) and now she is groping? And in front of thousands of people too!

Looks like something is awakening in her. Time to awaken something more within myself too it seems. Next Sousenkyou is gonna be marvellous!

Oh 48 fandom, U so Scary!

I’m no SayaYuki shipper, yet, nor am I a SayaMilky shipper but the way Milky stares holes in the back of Yukirin’s head as if she were cursing her in an ancient Egyptian language gave me the chills and made me wonder just how much she feels for Sayanee. I still stand by my view on their relationship being all business only but some doubts are beginning to surface.

And first of all, what was Yukirin doing there to Sayanee? Admiring her necklace? Don’t all the girls, if not most of them there have it? Isn’t it part of the costume? And Sayanee of all people? She looks like the least person there interested in those kinds of girly things but then again, she is still a girl at the core so she must have felt great to be seen as such when Yukirin praised her at how beautiful the necklace looked on her. That is if that was what Yukirin was doing. I still don’t know what was going on and just like Milky and Rena here…

I too demand an explanation.

BTW, looking at that cap, here’s what  I think was going on. Neesan is all like – Girl calm your tits! Believe me Yukirin is the least person you have to worry about stealing ur girl. Hearing that though Rena is like – What does she mean by that?

LOL

And looking at this placement means that Rena must have been also closely watching Yukirin being all comfy with Sayanee. Too bad we did not see her close-up look at that moment. She was probably, probably, thinking of worse ways that Gekikara could mess Sayanee up! Damn, now  I really want to see it. She was probably smiling. And that is somehow worse than Milky’s glare of death!

Oh 48 Fandom, U so scary!

NMB48 9th Single – Not sure if yuri or het

So, just literally minutes after I post a comment wondering when we will be getting more info on NMB’s 9th single, I go onto youtube and guess what I find? A short preview of the A-side PV.

Just as per order, since we got a cool A-side in the last single, this of course could not be another cool single and if it ain’t cool, it can only be cute. But strangely it is not cute. Well it is but not just cute, instead it is a mixture of the two. You will know this if you watch the preview without sound and I guarantee you that you will hear a cool song playing out in your head especially with the dance instead of a cute song. To me the PV, at least the dance part does not flow with the song because of this fact.

As for the PV itself, it looks really good. I can’t help salivating at the thought of its Bluray version (or better yet 4K). But alas, I doubt I will ever get a chance to see it at its max quality. And better yet, the quality is balanced between the drama scenes and the dance shots which rarely happens. I really want to see this in much better quality.

Watching the PV will be painful with all those guys in it but thank the Lord as it seems the gay Lords Milky and Keicchi seem to still be on the other side of the fence. I really hope that it’s a threesome between Keicchi, Milky and Maachun from the looks of things at least. And are they playing at the fact that Maachun is leaving NMB and Milky is saying goodbye (or trying to) I wonder!

Nah, unlikely seeing as this was probably shot ages ago before even the shuffles came into full steam! If Maachun is leaving the school (in the PV) then people are gonna see similarities between that and she transferring even if the people in charge did not mean it that way.

And speaking of Maachun, looks like she was not to be in any other teams apart from senbatsu for this single too, and probably the following singles, which actually makes me that much more glad she accepted her transfer to move to AKB.

And while we are on the subject of teams, I am surprised that Mirurun is in Teppoutai instead of Red or White. With the amount of attention she seems to be getting lately, add in her powerful part in N3, I was expecting her to be one of the top guns to management. Oh well…

Sayanee and Fuuchan on the other hand seem to be lusting after the Dudes, probably the same one too in the drama side of things. You know, this is kind of a plus for me when my Oshii is not the No.1 because it’s always the top girl that gets to play these kinds of roles. Then again, the girls themselves maybe see this as a bonus. After all, this is the only way they get to be that charmy with a guy without getting into a heap of trouble. I only pray that the Milky’s side of things is actually yuri, though Maachun seems to be after a Dude as well (They even locked themselves in a car. I won’t think of what they were supposed to be doing in there). Oh well, if Milky gets the girl in the end it is all that matters.

The dance part though I love very much! I still feel like it was wasted on this type of song but I can always mute then play a different song in the BG. Maybe I should try Kamonegix and see how things turn out.

Any way the moves are so NMB and out to kill. Maachun is still intimidating even with such a small stature, Sayanee is, well, Sayanee, Mirurun is still rising (She was real fabulous in that one scene where she swaggers through the members), They have a new pose (which I know as the Mayuyu pose, or was it a Maachun pose, not so sure) and NMB all together is still perfection as a whole.

I can’t really describe it 100% but there is a thing about NMB as a whole when they perform that makes you go – Yep, that is NMB48. Every member seems in touch with the member next to them as if they were all connected on a wire that decided their movements. No member tries to out-do the others. Either the better members compensate by slowing down or every member is good enough to not be left behind. And they don’t look like they are pushing themselves too even at the most demanding of times.

Seriously, how do they do it?!

This right here is one of the reasons why I am all for Yukirin coming to Namba. Not slaying but AKB rarely gets challenged in their singles. Yukirin needs to come over to Namba and pick up this skill. Her body is going to be challenged like it never was in AKB and add in those awesome dance songs from N3 and well, All I can say is that I can’t wait for what she does in her next concert! How about a UZA solo dance performance? Fufufu

Gonna be painful watching the following singles without Maachun. But then again if Yukirin will be in them kind of cancels that out. And Mirurun moving teams might also be a supporting point to her moving up some more. I mean in M she was right next to Keicchi and Akarin in line-up so when she moves to a different team I am sure she will be up front.

Any way this is looking like another great single overall and I am glad. Maachun’s last NMB single shouldn’t be any less, though I wish she was sent off with style. Why couldn’t they put her in Red or White for one last time? This was her last chance >.<

Oh well…

NMB48 Samurai Blade Razor CM

Somebody give this girl a Goku Uniform so she can take on Majisuka Gakuen’s Yuko-senpai Satsuki and her 4 Queens Elite Four ^^ I can totally see it. Maachun has the BOSS factor. It isn’t there to be seen by the naked like Sayaka’s but you can just sense it – that inner baddassdery! ^^ Sometimes it makes a cameo though.

Hmm…

Good to see Sayanee still has this need for Maachun. Personally it tells me quite a bit about these two.

simplymaachun-3

I have no words. Well, where Maachun is concerned. But if we direct our attention to a bit on the right…Milky, please. And Fuuchan too. I sometimes catch them when they have these looks and it concerns me that others don’t seem to see it. That darkness just doesn’t cut it for me. Probably better to see it in a still…
