I'm not sure about the lyrics, both of the new songs were good, but compared Cecil, Memory Scroll had a richer mix, like a Yoasabi song, a sound that's trendy recently. Cecil is calming to listen to though, maybe after a day's work or maybe while cooking in the kitchen, but on repeat I would play Memory Scroll.
Looking forward to Azu's transfer to JKT.
I think one of the TV hosts said it best. Cecile is the kind of song his grandmother would enjoy. Just like Naru is his grandmother's kind of girl.

>>50012600Is this a coomer thread? How much of the discussion is about the actual music vs just appreciating the beauty of the women? Also, do people here discuss non Japanese bands?
>>50016871We make sure to dunk on AkiP every half a year whenever he releases another dud.

>>50016887Who or what is 'AkiP'?
>>50016950this pitiful old manjust check out his latest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqDyq95LjhYoh wait, you can't cause he got blown the fuck in a contest against AI, so his song got scrapped of the internet
>>50016993freaking cool
>>50016871After the popularity fall of the group, there's not much discussion going on here.Still I'm very satisfied of the subgroup I follow and share its cute/funny moments.

>>50016871>actual musicMusic and performances are irrelevant, coomer stuff just get the most attention, they could release just noise and still sell hundreds of thousands of singles, right now is their 20th anniversary single and they don't even have a music video, the song lyrics and members were selected by AI. This general used to discuss events and tv shows; mainly akbingo and the sousenkyo but they got cancelled, so the few people remaining split into different niches within the groups.The main hook has been finding some girl or girls that you like and seeing them grow up from complete awkward-inept to front of the group or center, and seeing them experience different things, like sports, comedy-variety, acting, appear in tv, pranks, travel abroad or local, radio, youtube, gravure, documentaries, behind the scenes, competitions etc. the last thing fans care about is their singing or dancing, those only matter as a way to promote the group in the media.
>>50017716>members were selected by AIi don't believe that ai akimoto just happens to pick the group's top sellers, management's favourites plus Gorimomo as center.
My waifu is fucking bogged now. I hate to see it.
who would you pick as centre?
Saho~
>>50017716I disagree with the music and performances. I agree with watching over your oshi grow, on a personal note, I want them to grow as a group in general. To this day, I have a grudge against that anon who treated threads like he/she/xhe/copter owns them. Since I aim for the group to grow, music and performances are a method for marketing. And they should employ various methods of marketing as well. Their traditional marketing methods of theater and hand shakes is stable. And you mentioned about variety programs, yup, the girls need one, if not on TV, they need to adopt pronto and maybe work on a web series since a lot of Japanese are getting entertainment on their phones.Right now, while it's not wrong to be selfish and see oneself grow, they need align and unite and see the group grow as if they are, one with their themselves. I feel like this sense of camaraderie is what's keeping some to stay with the group, like Yuki2, I was kinda wary she might be feeling demoralized but no she wasn't. It's why I reiterate bushido team spirit not just for the group, but also for their personal health (emotional, mental, etc.) and growth (the support each other in many ways).
