[BREAKING NEWS]
Maeda Atsuko Announces Her Graduation

Excel Spreadsheet for AKB and Other 48/46 Members

I spent the past 3 days creating an AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, JKT48, SDN48 and Nogizaka46 member information excel spreadsheet.

Includes all the basic information for all the members of all the groups that are created by Akimoto Yasushi. I will try to update it whenever there are new generations of members. Mistakes are likely as I am still human. If there are any errors please inform me.

Feel free to spread, but please credit back to MELOSnoMichi.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12947028/2.MELOSnoMichi/48%20members%20info.xlsx

VER 1.1: Fixed some errors in the spreadsheet
VER 1.2: Updated with links to members' Twitter and Google+ Accounts, as well as Election ranking
VER 1.3: Added in SDN48 profiles
VER 1.4: Updated with new Team 4 members and agencies


If you are still using the old Microsoft Excel, here's a 1997-2003 compatible version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12947028/2.MELOSnoMichi/48%20members%20info%20%2897-03%20compatible%29.xls

I uploaded it on Google docs too.

JKT48 Joins Google+, Japan Pop Culture Festival Streaming

The 25 members of JKT48 have joined Google+ earlier this morning. Go add them to your circles now!

https://plus.google.com/u/0/108126532079328214151/posts/Hw1rcJPDU2H


They will also be a streaming today (March 3rd) their JAPAN POP CULTURE FESTIVAL concert that took place in Jakarta on February 25th. A joint concert by AKB48 and JKT48, it was a full house attendance of 3,000 fans. The stream will be on AKB48's official YouTube Channel and on Google+, and will start at 19:00 to 20:30 JST. The JKT48 members will also host a hangout at 18:30.

http://www.youtube.com/user/AKB48

In addition to that, 5 members of JKT48 will also be at the AKB48 Official Cafe Singapore in *SCAPE today. The 5 members are Ayana Shahab, Jessica Veranda Hardja, Nozawa Rena, Sonya Pandarmawan and Stella Cornelia. The event will start from 12:00 SGT onwards (exact time not announced), and admission to the event is free.


Well I certainly didn't see that coming. Both the members joining Google+ as well as the concert streaming. Have you added them to your Google+ Circles yet? Don't forget to catch their concert too later.

Currently none of the members have posted anything on their Google+ accounts, all of them just have the live streaming announcement. I wonder how the hangout will go later tonight? Almost none of the JKT48 girls can speak Japanese, and I don't think many Japanese speak Bahasa either.

I'll be attending the JKT48 cafe event in Singapore later on. In fact once I publish this post I'll be heading off to *SCAPE. I have no idea how this will turn out, this will be a new experience for me.

AKB48 in 62nd Kohaku Uta Gassen updates

Only one day left till the 62nd Kouhaku uta Gassen! Here's some updates about AKB48's appearance in this prestigious annual show.

AKB48 will be the 5th artist to perform on the show, with their song [Kouhaku 2011 AKB48 Special MIX ~Ganbarou Nihon~]. The song is a special medley of Kaze wa Fuiteiru, Flying Get, and Everyday, Kachuusha.

And accompanying AKB48 (75 members) on stage will be all of their fellow sister groups: SKE48 (48 members), NMB48 (16 members), HKT48 (16 members), SDN48 (39 members), and JKT48 (16 members). That's a total of 210 members on the stage. Do they really want to break the stage so much? It looks quite overcrowded up there.

By the way last year the number of performers under AKB48 was 130. An increase of 80 members for this year.

This will be SDN48's, HKT48's and JKT48's first time appearing on Kouhaku, although HKT48 and JKT48 have participated on the AKB48 Kouhaku Taikou Uta Gassen last week. Both of them just debuted only a few months ago.

[AKB48 Kouhaku Taikou Uta Gassen] setlist

The AKB48's own Kouhaku event has come to an end with Shirogumi winning. Congratulations. This was by far one of the most interesting AKB48 event ever because the songs were shuffled for the members. We also heard [Aitakatta] by JKT48 in Indonesian! At least we know AKB still capable of shuffling.

Check out the setlist and which members performed which song.
*Red colored names are Akagumi members.
*Blue colored names are Shirogumi members.

AKB48 teams up with Google+

Just announced at a live press conference, AKB48 will be teaming up with social networking site Google+. AKB48 fans will now be able to follow their favorite AKB48 members on Google+!

Having realized the limitations of handshake events and other gimmicks allowing fans to interact with the members now that AKB48 has increasing amount of fans overseas, Akimoto Yasushi announced that fans are able to add members to their Google+ circles to follow their daily happenings more closely and timely.

As well as AKB48 members, SKE48 and NMB48 members will have Google+ pages. Akimoto Yaushi also mentioned that members of HKT48, JKT48, and all the other OOO48 groups in the future will have accounts too. You can find the Google+ profiles of the members here.

You can also hangout with the idols with Google+, this brings "Idols you can meet everyday" to a whole new level. Maeda Atsuko set up a Hangout just after the announcement and hanged out with 15 fans.

There are also limitation for this project, each Hangout is limited to 10 people only, minus the member who organized the hangout, we are only left with 9 fans. And if you disconnect during the Hangout session, it'd be almost impossible to join back again.

Also, members under 18 years old aren't allowed to be on Google+, therefore you don't actually see all the members on the Google+.

Also mentioned at the announcement, fans may be able to view AKB48 Kouhaku on 20/12 on Google+.

Shimada Rena and Matsuda Shiori return to NMB48

Today at Team N's show in the NMB48 Theater, the results of the fan voting to allow suspended members Shimada Rena and Matsuda Shiori were announced. The votes are shown below.

Matsuda Shiori
Approve: 8,377
Disapprove: 1,406

Shimada Rena
Approve: 7,622
Disapprove: 2,161

Good news for both girls, the majority of the votes approved their return to NMB48. The both of them will resume activities from January 1st 2012.

Although it looks like they both have been allowed to return by a huge majority, it is still disheartening to know that 2,000 fans still disapprove Shimada Rena, and 1,400 for Matsuda Shiori. Hopefully when they return to the stage, they can prove themselves to the fans once more.

One thing I would like to know is why there hasn't been any word about Yoshida Akari's suspension.
