S/mileage 2nd Single Video Teaser

Here is the Video Teaser for S/Mileage 2nd single.

It is a CGI heavy video with a tribute to British comedic picture legend Charlie Chaplin. In the video teaser, the girls are seen sporting mini top hats like Mr. Chaplin, his famed mustache and walking stick in their close up shots.

This video teaser is all over the place in a Minimoni type setting. It does come with some heavy critics, as the wotas seem to be against this single, feeling it is a little bit childish for their tastes.

Regardless of their opinions, I think the song is interesting, funny, and a good single for a group of their ages.

I have included extra copies for delete backups,lol

ShukanAKB Special [Classic Episode]

SHUKANAKB Special [Classic]

This is a special classic episode of ShukanAKB it is not this weeks episode .Instead it is an episode that I just wanted to add to the collection. It is 45 minutes without TV breaks and the members of AKB48 faced several situations.

AKBINGO! Also has a few of these 60-minute specials that I am considering adding to the site.

AKB48 Get Another TV Show

AKB48 Get Another TV Show

AKB48, who are on TV nearly every night of the week with their own variety shows, have yet another show. Their new show is called AKB600sec.

AKB600sec will be a short run July only show airing on Mondays through Thursday at different times each night on NTV.

Each NTV version of the show will be only 10 minutes each and will center on one member of AKB48. Each episode a member is followed by hidden cameras for a single day, offering a glimpse into her daily life. The 16 members to be featured have not yet been announced.

NTV will be offering the full 90-minute version for sale on MicroSD cards through the NTV Web shop on the same day the episode airs.

Considering a number of AKB48 members have jobs through their agencies independent of AKB48 putting them on TV or magazines, opens the door for a number of possibilities of who maybe selected.

New Unit: French Kiss

AKB48 Has a new sub unit in the name of French Kiss. French Kiss is made up of the following members of AKB48, Kuramochi Asuka, Kawashigi Yuki [Former Morning Musume audition candidate] and Takajou Aki.

Together these women have come together with AVEX Entertainment to create French Kiss .French Kiss first single will be called “zutto mae kara” and will be the ending song for the anime 'Major'.

Some of you maybe wondering how these three were selected for this unit. The simple answer is they all belong to an agency called Watanabe .Because the members of AKB48 are under contract to independent agencies, they are normally doing things independent of or with the blessing of AKB48, leading to their growing popularity.


Their single will start as the ending theme on July 3

Momoiro Clover To Star In A Horror Film.

Momoiro Clover To Star In A Horror Film.

On June 26, Clover held a special live Nico Nico Full Concert.

In this concert, Clover learned that they had unknowingly filmed a horror movie.

Earlier this month the members of Momoiro Clover went to do some film work. They were originally told that it was for a television program. The show was purportedly a special about ghost spots, so they filmed at an abandoned school in the Tochigi prefecture. Horror Director Shiraishi Koji wanted to film the girl’s true emotions, so they were told that were filming only a television show.

In truth the members were filming a documentary style horror film called “Shirome” The film is based on the girls “fake” filming event and the story is centered on the members who as they filmed for the” fake TV show” trespass into an abandoned school in an attempt to have their wishes granted by a mysterious entity known as "Shirome."

The documentary style film will capture the girls true emotions as the filming took place.

"Shirome" will begin playing in theaters on August 13.

Momoiro Clover Special Live Broadcast

Because the concert contains 11 parts and could be deleted at any time by You Tube, I am not going to post each video part here in this post instead, you can watch every part through the above link that I have included, plus see  the in concert announcement that Clover as a group will star in a horror film.


If you have never experienced a Clover live, you should watch this broadcast .Their lives are not as big as say Morning Musume, they are more like Indy level concerts, and are high energy and fun. It`s only time before they leave their Akiba roots for bigger venues.
