Watanabe Mayu 2nd Photobook [Seifuku Zukan Saigo no Seifuku] Sales + 4th Single Announced

Watanabe Mayu's second solo photobook [Seifuku Zukan Saigo no Seifuku] went on sale on the 19th April 2013. Retailing for 1,400 yen, this features 256 full colour pages. It is set around a school theme, with Mayuyu wearing the seifuku (school uniforms) of 94 real Japanese schools.

On it's first week on sale, the photobook placed 9th in the Oricon overall books charts, selling 17,836 copies. For reference, her first photobook [Mayuyu], released 13th May 2011, sold 45,209 copies on it's first week on sale.

In addition to her 2nd photobook, Mayu's 4th solo single has been announced! This will go on sale in July 2013 with no specific date yet set. There will be a contest run on pixiv to help design the cover of the single. The contest will run between 26 April - 16 May 2013 with full details being released on the 26th. The winning artwork will be used on the cover of the Limited Edition of the single which will also feature an illustration book of other contest entries.

I'm hugely excited for Mayu's 4th single, and the events and photoshoots that come along with it. The illustration contest sounds interesting, similar to Hikaru Monotachi's Limited Edition illustration book. As for the sales of her 2nd photobook, I'm not surprised by the low numbers compared to her first photobook (and other AKB ones, more recent ones such as Matsui Rena, Watanabe Miyuki, and Yamamoto Sayaka sold between 25-30k copies 1st week). Her 1st photobook had a large variety of photos, showed off her assets well, and was A4 in size - this new one is only A5 sized, and features a small variety in photos - just school uniforms, and school sportsday photos.

Kuramochi Asuka Solo Debut Single and Photobook Announced

Kuramochi Asuka will join the ranks of soloists from AKB48, releasing her first solo single on 29th May 2013. She is the 10th member from AKB48 to have a solo debut. Her official website was launched recently

Official website: http://kuramochiasuka.jp/

At the time of posting, the solo debut single is still untitled, but we do have some information about the single. It will have a total of 6 different versions, which is a huge number for an AKB48 solo artist. There will be the main CD+DVD limited edition version worth 1,600 yen, consisting of the main the A-side and 2 coupling songs, the instrumental versions of the said songs and the music video in the DVD.

Kuramochi Asuka 1st Single
[TBD]
29 May 2013

TYPE A no cover 1,600yen

[CD] 01. A-side TBD 02. c/w song 1 03. c/w song 2 [DVD] 01. A-side Music Video 02. Off shot video

The remaining 5 versions are "one coin types", priced at just 500 yen (the largest denomination for coins in japan) and will include only the A-side and 1 coupling song (same tracklisting on all types). The covers for the 5 "one coin types" have been revealed recently. Each of them were shot by different magazines. Included in the "one coin type" singles is a voting ticket to vote for the best cover of the single. Additionally, if anyone manages to guess the order of the final votes, etc "5→3→1→2→4", he/she will get to spend a whole day at the horse races with Kuramochi Asuka herself!

Young Champion, Friday, BLT



Weekly Playboy, Big Comic Sprits

The single will have lyrics written by Kuramochi Asuka herself, and will be used in a JRA (Japan Horse Racing Association) TV CM. Kuramochi won the 2nd AKB no Gachi Uma campaign, which had 27 members aged over 20 betting on horse races. Kasai Tomomi won the 1st campaign, hence her single and JRA CM. In addition to this solo single, Mocchi will be getting a her 1st solo photobook, details of which have yet to be revealed. Asuka will also feature regularly on the [SPORTS X] on BS Asahi, which features JRA jockeys.

Jul3: Like Kasai, Kuramochi was a surprise soloist, but that is the randomness of letting horse racing decide these things. She has not being in AKB48 Undergirls recently, so it's great to see her getting some exposure. The 500 yen types are intriguing and it will be interesting to see how well they sell. More so perhaps than her single, I'm looking forward to her photobook, which has been highly anticipated by fans.

Uchida Mayumi 1st Photobook [Iwa ni Shimiiru “Uchida-san” no Koe]

Uchida Mayumi will release her 1st Photobook [岩にしみ入る“内田さん”の声] [Iwa ni Shimiiru “Uchida-san” no Koe] on 22nd February 2013 for 1,260 Yen. The book, more of a "photo essay", seems to focus on her most famous moment - winning the 2010 Janken Tournament to become centre for AKB48's 19th single [Chance no Junban].

This came out of nowhere. Since winning the Janken in 2010, Ucchi hasn't made senbatsu for any further singles, apart from 2012's janken single [Eien Pressure] , and has failed to rank in any of the elections. I think she is a solid, cute, and under-appreciated AKB48 member so hope this book will both do well and raise her profile.

The photobooks took the two top spots in the Photobook Ranking and ranked 2nd and 3rd in the Oricon Overall Book Ranking.



They are both amazing and beautiful girls. Both would have deserved to win and it turned out to be a close battle. Congrats to Milky for winning and to both for the overall good results.

NMB48 to release 1st Photobook [Kyun to Doki]

NMB48 will release their 1st ever Photobook on September! Titled [Kyun to Doki], the theme of the photobook is "A girls school with only NMB48 members".

The book will be a complete document of their daily lives. The photoshoot is taken as if you're peeking into their daily activities. Filled with natural expressions, it's a daily lifestyle photobook that is different from any other.

Included are swimsuits and leotard costumes amongst others. Shots of the members being close with each other, if you look at it your heart will definitely go "kyun!" and "doki!" Filled with high-spirited smiles, slightly suspicious moods, and the girls just acting silly, it's a piece filled with the girls' natural appeal.

Translated by Aikyi


Kyun to Doki

NMB Kenkyuusei: Yabushita Syu


I'm excited for this photobook. It's about time that NMB got it's own PB after almost 2 years since their debut. The PB also has an interesting theme to it. It's sad though that not all the NMB members could be a part of it.

Deciphering the AKB48 Official Diary 2012-2013

AKB48's [Official Diary 2012-2013] book was released on Friday, March 23, 2012. In the diary were profiles and more information of all AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, and even JKT48 members.

Also in the diary was a calendar that showed all the birthdays of those members and other important dates. But upon closer inspection, they have also included a number of strange codes with possible hidden meanings. The dates and codes of some of these matches with important dates in AKB48, like their 7 year anniversary on 12/8.

Most of the rest though were not so easy to figure out, and that's where you come in! See if you can help decipher those codes.

Nakaya Sayaka to Publish an Autobiography [Non-Senbatsu Idol]

Nakaya Sayaka will publish an autobiography [Non-Senbatsu Idol] on April 2nd. She is the first member of the 48 groups to publish an autobiography.

Nakayan was one of the 13,000 people who entered the 3rd Generation AKB48 audition in December 2006. She passed the audition and debuted with Team B on stage in April 2007. She was moved to Team A following the team shuffle in August 2009.

Since Nakayan entered AKB48 6 years ago, she did not rank within the Top 40 in any of the 3 Senbatsu Elections. In the autobiography she describes her feelings regarding the situation, and how she managed to eventually look at this and find it "amusing".

Even without being a Senbatsu member in AKB48, Nakayan has already distinguished herself through voice acting for an animated version of Moshidora, as well as Neptune MK2, a role-playing game on Playstation 3. She will also be a voice actor in AKB0048, an animation about AKB48 in future.

The book also describes the difficult life of an Idol behind the scenes, and how Nakayan was able to find a comfortable place for herself after overcoming the hardships. The central theme of the book is "Send a positive message for all the 'Non-Senbatsu' people in real life".

Maeda Atsuko To Release New Photobook [Bukiyou]

Maeda Atsuko will release a new photobook on March 16th, 2012. Titled [Bukiyou] (不器用 / Clumsy), it will go on sale for 1,800yen.

Bukiyou is Acchan's 5th photobook, and is taken in Paris, France. It's also her 3rd PB that is shot overseas; she previously went to Hawaii and New York to shoot her 2nd and 4th photobooks respectively

The photobook will include full-length photographs of Acchan taking a walk along the Seine, riding the metro, living in an apartment for the first time, walking around Champs-Elysées at night, and enjoying Paris in general. Some previews of the PB are available below.

She insisted on going to Paris last year as a celebration for turning 20 - this is a Maeda Atsuko that is different and more private than what we've seen of her.  There is no "this smile is Acchan as AKB48" or "this look is Acchan as herself", as this photobook contains a lot of her natural, "clumsy" self.  But as a bonus, she will still be showing quite a bit of skin in some sexy photos.

Preorders are already available on 7-net

Shinoda Mariko to produce her own magazine [Mariko Magazine]

note: Melos is feeling very feverish and won't be available for the next few days


Remember when Itano Tomomi "produced" her own photobook? Well Shinoda Mariko has bigger plans than than that. As one of the most visible members of AKB48, especially given her height and looks, Mariko-sama will be chief editor of her own fashion magazine titled [Mariko Magazine] to be released October 28.

Fans have been speculating about a graduation for a long time. Mariko is the oldest member of AKB48 at age 25, she is extremely popular outside of the idol group, and is busy with modeling gigs, variety shows, and occasional acting job. So busy in fact, that she barely attends AKB48 stage performances right now. Perhaps this is preparing her for something bigger. And hey, 1st generation graduate Kawazaki Nozomi opened her own nail salon and started her own apparel brand. Maybe Mariko will take a similar path. Preorders are available on amazon.

AKB48 PSP Game [AKB1/48 Idol to Koishitara...] Updates

AKB48's PSP video game AKB1/48 Idol to Koishitara... released today in Japan.

     To refresh your memory, the game starts off with all 48 members of AKB48 coming madly after you. You then have to reject them one by one until there is only 1 remaining. The idol love simulation game featuring all 48 AKB members (pre-Erena graduation) came in a total of 4 editions. You can read more about the basic details of the game in our earlier post.

     More details are now known about the game. Firstly, there will be paid downloadable content for the game by Bandai. Currently there is a "Photo Clock" app where a member will hold white paper with time on it. It costs 300 yen per girl, 2400 yen for a whole team, or 3500 yen for all the girls.

     Secondly, apparently there is "drama" in the game, which are things like a girl spotting you on a date with another, or one of the girls you already broke up with can't forget about you, or a member can ask you about your relationship with another girl. In the game, facial expressions and outfits for the girls can be unlocked through clearing conditions. You will also get "trading cards" as you play, which are photos that can be put as wallpaper.

     In addition to the game, a guidebook for it, "AKB 1 / 48 Idol to Koishitara...Official Kouryaku Visual Book" was also released on the 17 December for 1000 yen. The book comes with a Love Letter, Special Sticker and Special Poster.

     In other news, a fight broke out in the morning of the release in the queues(according to an observer there were over 100 queues formed) for the game, outside Don Quixote building. Police cars and an ambulance were seen outside the building.

AKB48 Team KISHIN, AKB48 X Bijo Saishu

Two new photobook collaborations from AKB48.

Mado Kara Sukaitsuri ga Mieru
Release date: October, 2010
Price: 2940yen
ISBN：9784093637282

http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/3910547

The first collaboration is called [Team KISHIN from AKB48]. The name originates from the photographer for the photobook, Shinoyama Kishin (篠山紀信). He is a famous photographer in Japan mostly known for producing nude photobooks of girls. Yes you read that right. NUDE.

The members of Team Kishin are:
Kuramochi Asuka, Maeda Ami, Oba Mina, Takeuchi Miyu, Shimada Haruka and Mori Anna.

Team KISHIN will be releasing a photobook sometime on October 2010. The title of the photobook is [Mado kara sukaitsuri ga mieru], which translates into "From the window, I can see the Sky Tree". The Sky Tree being the Tokyo Sky Tree of course. Currently, there is no info or preview of the photobook. I'm betting that there will be lots of implied nudity though.

AKB48 x Bijo Saishu
Release Date: 09 Oct 2010

The second collaboration is with the whole AKB48 this time. The photographer for this photobook is multi talented artist Asami Kiyokawa. The book is a collection of pictures of AKB48 members as animals and flowers.

From the previews, it looks incredibly stunning. I really can't wait to see more. Some of the transformations are a genius! Umechan as a Siberian Husky, Ayarin as a Lion, Nacchan as Shiba Inu, I can totally see those. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to skip this book because I'm already low on budget. I already ordered my Mizugi Surprise Happyo 2010

AKB48 PSP Video Game [AKB1/48 Idol to Koishitara...]

And the selection of AKB48 merchandise expands with...a video game!?? Yes, you read that right, AKB48 will have its very own game released under Bandai Namco Games for the Sony Play Station Portable (PSP).

So what's this game about? [AKB1/48 Idol to Koishitara...] (AKB 1/48 If I Were to Love an Idol…) is a love simulation game. In this rather fanservicey-sounding game, all 48 members of AKB48 appear, and the concept is that you have to choose 1 and reject the other 47.
Wait, what? Can you even do that? Wow. Why can't we just accept them all. Damn TOs*.
Apparently all of the members love you (the player), and you have to dodge all of their confessions and attempts to get with you, ending up with 1 girl.

The game will use 10,000 photographs of the members, as well as about 80 minutes of video of the members confessing their love to the player and full voice recordings of all the members' dialogue.

Official website: http://psp-akb48.channel.or.jp/

Sorry for the lateness, school is really taking a toll on me and my fandom. Anyways I'll be posting all parts here for easier viewing and completion.


Acchan is releasing a batch of PBs. It's a 3 part series taken in different locations. The first is in Hawaii, second in Tokyo and third in New York. Gotta say Acchan is looking sexy in those. Haven't bought parts one and two? Buy them now, and preorder part 3.

Shinoda Mariko will also be releasing her 3rd PB. And it's also taken in Hawaii. Title is still subject to change but as of now it's titled [Shinoda Mariko Photobook].

Not wanting to lose out, Matsui Jurina of SKE48 will also be releasing a PB! Isn't she too young for this? Anyways its priced at 3,990 yen and it's 96 pages long. Kinda expensive. Title at this point hasn't been revealed yet. I wanna see how this goes. Will she be in bikinis and such or will it be more of casual wear?

Miyazaki Miho 1st Photobook: [SHINING SKY] , Maeda Atsuko 2nd Photobook: [Acchan]

Myao will be releasing her first Photobook, entitled [SHINING SKY] on 25 February 2010. The DVD will be released one month later on 21 March 2010. The title of the PB and the DVD was decided by the fans and picked by Myao herself. The release date is the same as Acchan's PB (below). The publisher TOKYO NEWS which is the same one as Yukirin's PB. Judging from the price it's probably a hardcover book. I am really excited about this. I have been waiting since I joined the AKB fandom for Myao to have her own PB and it finally came! This will also be the 1st Photobook I will be getting!!! Already preordered it and now waiting for the days to pass quickly.

Acchan will be releasing her 2nd Photobook, coincidentally titled [Acchan], on the 25 February 2010. That's the same release date for Myao's PB (above). The PB is shot in Hawaii. It's part 1 out of 3 PBs that she will be releasing. Judging from the price it's could either a mook (like Mizugi Surprise) or a softcover. But it's worth more than it's priced as you get a free bonus poster! This will be interesting because it will be split into 3 parts and each in a different country. Interesting because....*shudders at the thought....those of you remember Acchan's 1st PB should know....It was shot in Thailand remember....poo and dead chicken. I won't be getting this one however since I spent all my money on Myao's ;;.

Who will win in this war of pictures? My bet is on Acchan since she has more fans and all that. But Myao's looks kinda good too.
