Last time I talked about the music, including some of my favorites like UZA—I hope YOU enjoyed the videos.

Now, I want to talk about…

Oshimen (Number 1 Favorite):

For me, my journey into AKB48 started in 2007, I was doing a photo search and came across Minami Takahashi—at the time, I saw a pretty, little Japanese girl with black hair in what appeared to be a top ponytail. (The photo is below). Her face was so pretty and she just seemed to grab me instantly. So, I went into the page it was on and found out that the group …

Last time, I talked about that dark side and graduation; this time, I want to focus on the music—after all, they do sing and dance.

UZA:

In the middle is Minami Takahashi, my AKB48 Oshimen or Number 1 favorite. She is the lord of the yakUZA and looks like she is going to fuck someone’s shit up—holding her Kiseru (pipe), she stares down at the rival families and wears a beautiful Kimono.

Akihabara48 began branching out into different cities in Japan, but also with a very different show. SDN48 was a group of the…shall I say, older girls who put on a show on Saturday nights at the theater in Akihabara. The show was 18+ because of Megumi Ohori who was a living sexual desire! Of course I’m joking just a little. Megumi was one of the most interesting members of the group, she was part of …

The word “Idol” gets used a lot without the actual definition of what it means. People just assume its some singer that everyone likes—well, not “everyone” likes them just because the press says so.

An Idol is a singer, an actor, a model…an entertainer—most of the time the word is associated with a pretty female; however, it’s used with males too.

Let’s take a look at what Idol means to ME.

In the photo below, you might be able to call this line up a good part of the popularity generation?  Left to right; Jurina, Mariko, Tomomi, Yuko, Mayu, Atsuko, Minami …
