You know, ever since I heard about Noel Gallagher's comments about AKB48 being manufactured, I've pretty much been unable to shake that perspective from my mind. That opening scene where they showed the new girls' promo ad was particularly striking...

More so, episode 7 is called "Shuumei Kirara". Shuumei means succession, so the understudies may be given the opportunity to succeed in this episode. I suppose you only need to make a kirara glow to be selected, but we know that's easier said than done (specially for Chieri). We may see some actual rivalry for the first time, and Chieri angsting is a given lol. Looking forward to it.

Honestly there's nothing wrong with manufactured music. Music is music, if it's catchy, or resound with you and you like it then w/e I listen to all kind of music Ikimonogatari, Mr Children, EXILE, Perfume, Matsushita Yuya, Beni, Koda Kumi, and idols like AKB too. I don't get people looking down on manufactured music...even if someone don't produce their own music or write it, doesn't mean it can't be a good song. Quote:
I'm guessing from the title. Rivalry--> other KKS members.

@Haak
Agree with mochichan here. Super plastic surgeries aside, K-Pop idols are incredibly manufactured. Than again the whole Asian Pop industry, especially the idols (female OR MALES) are all manufactured to a degree. Just look at the boy bands under Johnny's banner headed by SMAP and Arashi and that not even get into group like Kinki Kids, Tokio, Johny's Jr, etc. What AKB really did was that instead of the old stereotype "perfect" idols, they also successfully use the shortcoming of the girls and turn them into moe points (for lack of better term). That's something that Johny's has perfected since SMAP but somehow never really seen in the female side until AKB. In addition, unlike other female idols, individual or group. They are also really the first group that works from ground up, by doing daily shows in a little theater before working their way into TVs and radios. They got powder faced, pie- tossed, forced to do bungie and sky diving, to eating worms and scorpion, just to raise their profile. Sure they are many things, but the one constant is that the group works incredibally hard especially for the earlier members. I mean even now you continually hearing top members working themselves into exhumations and hopital when they really could have slow down a bit. Which is also why while there are some tabloid here and there, almost none of them are direct at their work ethics or attitudes.

The girls in the preview could be the other successors as there are less than half of the positions filled.
However, it is not easy to succed certain idol. From the current group, Mayuyu, Takamia and Yukirin did not get a lot of successors compare to Acchan. |

LOL ..that sound kinda like Manatsu no Sounds Good PV storyline...that actually a plausible turn the storyline can take...idk how the fans can handle their girls being kill
Oh didn't know it's being advertised too. It's AKB senbatsu election. They hold it yearly. It's today. It basically determine the ranking of the girls and w/e the result, the higher the ranking, the more promotion the girl get so it's kinda a serious event. Even if you're not fan, it's almost like an enjoyable sporting event...at least that's what it seem like from FujiTV ads Youtube, Google+, and TV stations and movie theaters are airing it. Google sponsoring is adding english ver to the live stream too. AKB is like one of the few Japanese act actually reaching out to foreign fans.... Spoiler for election:
here's the full event of last year election btw with eng sub for you to get the idea. http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=671UK8N6WUM2 the stream event is here but it hasn't started yet.

If it's a big number like, all currently active AKB members from all teams then it would be around 64?
