That's what I meant, I've said this before, I could sense their love and pride of performing on stage, it's like they're women on a mission, and it can be great with both what they are and what they do, there's a reason why the legends of AKB48 chose to honor the kids by dancing Rumor. Imagine that, an idol of idols being inspired by an idol their junior. This is the secret sauce, why those Kardashians were watched, why I too watched professional wrestling long ago, we know they are scripted, but their auras man, it felt like a vivid dream come to reality, my cousins and I used to watch pro wrestling at night while eating chicken wings and Coca Cola pretending it's beer LOL.

AKB idols tend to be on the nicer side of j-idol. The group also practically has a “love ban” even if it’s not explicitly called out in their contract. AKB idols get pushed to graduate whenever they’re found dating.
That’s the blind spot of “the AKB Veteran” TM they all insist the group doesn’t have a love ban but it’s technically there even if it’s not called out in the contract

And my corpse farts a satisfied fart.

They have been performing the RESET stage for the past week with the addition of a few other stages

It is indeed multiple stages. RESET is one of the more common stages, but really people look forward to Koko Kara Da the most. There are also a couple other stages, like an old SKE48 stage (that is performed rarely) and the newest AKB stage. Sometimes, stages are revived and then later retired. That happened to an *old* stage earlier this year.

Stages usually start on weekdays at 6:30 PM to 7 PM. Weekends and holidays might have two stages, where the first stage is at noon. It’s the exact same lineup for the noon and evening stages unless a member gets injured or sick. That’s happened before when a member twists her ankle, for example.
>>
>>51217366
Setting up AKB’s digital infrastructure is such a pain, yeah. Theater is also easier to set up than handshake CDs, so if you ever want to meet with an AKB idol, you’ll want to set up the theater pipeline now.

Rough idea of how to get theater tickets:
1) make a Zaiko account (akb48.zaiko.io). You will need to get your AKB Group ID here, which you will re-use in the various AKB websites. It’s basically just a string of numbers.
2) register for hashira no Kai (fan club) on akb48.co.jp using your AKB Group ID from step 1. Select an oshimen. It can be anyone. This fanclub membership is pretty cheap
3) link your Zaiko account to your hashira no Kai account
—- you can stop here and simply apply for general tickets and hashira no Kai tickets, but virtually everyone I know has gotten tickets from Eizo. So, continue.


4) get a VPN (free or paid, doesn’t matter) and VPN into *japan*
5) register for an Eizo account (akb48group-eizo.jp). Membership for this is a little more expensive.
6) tie your Eizo account to your Zaiko account
This way you can apply for Eizo tickets to max out your chances to get into theater
>>
>>51217164
They currently have 4 stages that they're performing. RESET is just the most common because it's the stage that the most members have positions in. Not all members have positions and are featured in every stage. Yuiyui for example only performs in Koko kara da. Koko kara da is the only 16 member stage, so there are less performances, since it requires more members to have availability. Yume no Popstar is new so not many members have learned positions for it yet and Te wo Tsunaginagara is the kenkyuusei stage.

When there are a lot of activities going on, you tend to get more repeat performances in theater with the same group of members who aren't doing any of the outside work.
>>
>>51217595
That wasn't the bit that worried me. Go here. Stand here. Enter raffle here. Now line up according to some number. Now march in. The mere complexity of getting the penlight settings right would kill me.
But then its not really for the gaijin anyway, I understand this.

I will say I think Aichan's idea that foreign fans could "teach her things to say" and record them is sweet and well intentioned but not entirely wise. I give it a week before they crack down on that.

Standing and penlights coordination is honestly the easiest

they have to learn the choreography for like 16 songs per setlist, and keep practicing it. Some members have trouble even mastering one stage at a time, so they can't just switch them up on a whim. RESET is easy because it's the 8 member version, the older girls have performed it a bajillion times, and there are a few members who can actually learn multiple stages at once.
>>
The real question is whether we still have anyone who could learn and perform 7 different stages in the single month, including Saishuu Bell ga Naru.

The complexity and routinization of the process is honestly a hilarious encapsulation of Japan's national autism. They love that shit. Weird, complex routines pop up in all aspects of Japanese life.
