GOOD GRIEFhttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1791202936311473.webmThis is perhaps the most fun we have ever had. It was pure chaos!We see two teams compete in a game of shouts. The differing personalities of Jew and Galeya come to define each team. Though trainees, both possess a confidence that belies their newness. Jew is the more proper, with strong teacher vibes. Her voice is the most resonant. Indeed, from afar, she almost resembles Sasshi, with her broad face and full hair. But my - how she is completely outdone by Galeya - the delinquent of the class! As the game goes on, the screams and shouts of the unruly cluster leave Jew in a muck, and the victory goes to Galeya.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DePXbjbzkk8

>>51313202oi oi :3
I study several things to arrange my plot:the flight plans; Tomi's own working shifts; seating arrangements; and so on.To discover Tomi's work shifts I have to buy numerous flight tickets for no other reason than to discover her work shifts. It costs thousands, but it has brought me here. And now I sit in the second row (the first row being the flight attendant's), directly across from flight attendant Tomi Tesla.As she stands to give the safety demonstration - correct wearage of the seatbelt, how to attach an oxygen-flow mask, and what to do in an emergency - the other passengers zone out. Some even keep their headphones on. I watch attentively. I beckon to her:"Flight attendant Tomi?""Yes?""I must go potty.""The toilet is just here.""I cannot go alone. The lights in there are dark. The walls are hard and of uncertain geography. The door lock mechanism is unknown to me. There are mirrors which reflect into one another and cause confusion.""I shall accompany you."We both squeeze into the tiny toilet. My impossibly large penis strokes her midsection several times as we jostle for position. I find my place on the toilet, and her rear end pushes into my face as she fiddles with the door lock."I have locked the door.""Thank you. We are together now."I sit on the toilet for a few minutes, smelling her rear. I release no stool - that is not why we are here."Red," I call out to Tomi Tesla.A glowing red bar slowly pushes out of Tomi's rear hole. Strawberry. "Blue."Now a glowing blue bar pushes out. Blueberry."Yellow."Vanilla.As I swallow the final bar, Tomi turns to me."You have tasted three of my essences. Now I will show my divine essence - its true form."An unglowing log pushes out of Tomi's rear hole. She collects it herself in her hand."This is my divine essence. Only you can know of it."She places it on my tongue, which quivers under its righteous heat.I close my eyes and gain all knowledge and wisdom with a swallow, and all pain and suffering is defeated. When I open my eyes, I see the door has been opened, and Tomi has left.I check myself in the mirror, and I appear as a million diamonds shining brightly, reflecting and amplifying rays of light in all directions.The passenger cabin is empty. The flight attendants are gone. I knock on the cockpit door and get no answer. The plane is not moving. It is in the sand, in a desert.

TIL "Zukki" changed it "Zucky" herself in tribute to Mickey Mouse, is scared of pigeons and gets angry if someone wears outdoor shoes on the AKB theatre stage.Obviously I could have been learning the atomic weights of the elements or something instead but thats how it goes sometimes.
>>51314825The people who track this are stats nerds. First week sales are pretty interesting for the aces, though. Just goes to show that, if you want to meet Itomomo, you better apply week 1 day 1. She’s going to sell out fast.
… I just thought about using Claude Cowork to track those stats and make a spreadsheet, but I don’t care enough these days
>>51314825Huh? It sounds like you're trying to defend poor sales, but these about the same as the last single (the highest selling since the 48G era), just with a lot more people trying to secure a chance to speak with Momo before she sells out.
Also, teh feck just noticed the massive increase in slot counts. I assume they just added a bunch more days to this single? (Hadn't really been paying attention since I got myself banned from the shop.)
>>51315328I wonder if it’s because people are finally wising up to the fact that you’re supporting a song which you haven’t even heardA contrarian, disregards room-reading, gets-kicked-out from fan spaces opinion is that people went through that with Suki-ish. The song might just not have been the gen public’s taste despite the massive radio airplay, tiktoks, etc. so I’d be more cautious about buying too many CDs in advance until I hear what it actually soundsthat is especially if I don’t feel strongly about Itomomo or any of the acesLike, the song still has to be *good*, and I wonder how many people felt blindsided by suki-ish not being what they expected
>>51315333That’s right, the number of singles wasn’t even 60 for the aces. Now it’s 86 for the aces.The rent and mini-city setup for places like makuhari messe must be *massive*. DH must be banking on the group being able to sell out many of the additional slots. I’m curious if that will work out And yeah, the only way to have that many more slots is to have *more* dates available. Six slots in a day is already a lot
^ the number of slots wasn’t even 60…
>>51315337What? What is the "it" you are incoherently trying to explain?
6 online talk events, 10 in person handshake eventsmax 6 slots for talks, max 5 for handshakemaximum total slots, 86previous single was 7 handshake, 4 talk dates.
>>51315354The “it” is the perceived low sales for this single compared to previous singles.AKB48 for a while seemed to be modernizing their sound, which might have drawn in certain audiences that wanted to support a legendary Japanese institution who was finally making its way into the future - a major, 2026, contemporary pop release. This same audience ended up supporting… a showa-type song (Suki-ish)Honestly, I think my argument was generally pretty clear:General population sees the hype on social media, marketing, Aichan gravure in every conbini, Itomomo in fucking everything, so okay, people buy the CDs. Then, when the song finally drops, it’s a mid showa song. The general public isn’t AKB’s fanbase. They don’t care about supporting the members before even hearing the song. They expect the song to be good. And if 68th single song wasn’t good, a large chunk of the people who bought CDs for that won’t come back for the 69th single.People with minimal attachment to the fanbase or to the members don’t want to support a mediocre product. That was my conclusion for myself from the 68th single. I’d rather support literally anything else that isn’t a mid showa song.
500 tickets per slot... 10 second of talk time per ticket... It costs about $60 to talk to Itomomo for 1 minute
>>51315364Yeah, AKB members are expensive to meet. That’s why so many devoted fans are older ojisans. Meanwhile, the younger, trendy, social-media savvy female jp teenagers get pushed out immediately. It’s kinda funny witnessing that
>>51315362What "perceived low sales"? Your argument is completely pointless because these sales are not "perceived low"! They are high! As high as if not higher than the last single!
What happens if someone like Hiyuka only sells 1 ticket? Does that guy get to speak to her for the entire 1.5 hours?
>>51315369I feel like I know you - you’re from SEA. Anyways, I was responding to the other poster who wondered why sales for this single appeared to be low.
>>51315387Literally no one said sales from this single appeared low.
>>51315385She doesn’t sell just one ticket. She’s booked for large chunks of the day, especially the mid-day slots around lunch.What I’ve seen idols do who didn’t sell out is, they just kind of chill at the booth waiting for fans to pop by. Fans trickle in through the day. Some fans might oshimashi tickets from other members to the member with the empty lane. Once the lane officially closes, roughly 20 mins earlier than the end of the slot, the idol simply leaves. I saw Haruka do exactly that when I tried to meet her, so I had to oshimashi my tickets to a later slotOh, also, AKB48 fans don’t get extra time. What you pay for is exactly what you get
>>51315364$48, actually, assuming it is actually 10 seconds per ticket still for in person handshakes (if it is then online and handshake sales are completely incomparable). I guess it could get up to $60 (or worse) with shipping costs.
>>51315389It was >>51314825
>>51315399You and he are both trying to explain/excuse why they're low when they aren't. Most likely you're the same idiot.
>>51315369Oh, also, tell your friends I say hi
>>51315402Nope, I’m not that guy Not like I could prove or disprove it anyways
>>51315403I have no idea who you are nor do I care.
>>51315408You have a similar writing style to a prominent Kohi oshi I know
>>51315402I’ll grant that my analysis is off if the sales are indeed more or less the same as for the 68th single. And, in theory, they *should be* pretty close as AKB has only gotten more popular especially with all the recent media features and such
>>51315328I mean, the reason why even the top sellers haven't sold more slots yet, give it more time and sales will ramp up, and people will be less relunctant to buy more slots, taking into account concerns regarding concert budget. The potential problem is buyer fatigue, maybe encourage trying out other members for handshake?
>>51315457There is no need to search for a reason, these results are already very high for round 1, especially given they've expanded the slot counts by 50%.
itomomo may deliver us to heights unimagined...
>Keep calm and stay kawaiiOhhohohahahahaaYes! And may I say, you ARE kawaii, my angel, my sweet, my cherished, my plumb, my queen, my purity, my wonder. As kawaii as the circle is curved.

>>51315362Suki-ish was consistent with the spring concerts in concept and both were consistent with using the 20th anniversary momentum in the right way. I would also suggest it was as important for members as anyone else who appear to have finally come to a sensible accommodation with the 'legend of akb'.All of which is to say, it was at least a plan and someone has for once clearly thought about what their strategy was. I'll take that over thrashing around. I actually think picking Itomomo again shows a certain ruthlessness (they cannot have been blind to the general feeling it was Aichan's "turn"), its not about taking turns, its about winning.
>>51315702I could rant all day about AKB members deserving “turns,” as I inherently don’t believe management *has* to give the members a fair chance for center or Senbatsu slots. DH/AKB’s management doesn’t seem to operate from a “this member has been in the group long enough - let’s put her in Senbatsu” perspective. And, honestly, it doesn’t make sense to build hype around Itomomo then suddenly make Aichan the center. That’s just whiplash for the gen public.I also don’t think the gen public cares if Aichan was snubbed for center. They likely want to see Itomomo. And the sales show.
>>51315790That hand sign looks like a woman with her legs spread wide and her hands over her head.

>>51316377no dates for the 2nd sales period yet
>>51316713After rent for the venues, staff pay, distributor fees, and the rest of the chain involved in selling the CDs, probably not that much is left in profit. I’m questioning how the handshake event is the group’s biggest moneymaker. I would imagine commercial partnerships, sponsorships, media appearances, and things like that would be more profitable for far less effort
>>51316869that's just the amount of money they would make if 1 member sold out all the their slots

>>51316887nah, I'm just on my phone eating supper currently
>>51316872I know it’s just one member, but those are also ace numbers that assume all 500 tickets are sold out for all 86 slots. Now, plenty of members other than the aces can sell out their slots, but there will still be a few members with fairly open availability (especially 21 ki and the newer 22ki).

>>51316851they get those sponsorships and partnerships from the juiced album sales numbers driven by insane handshake wotas buying 75 CDs each
>>51316908This woman looks uncanny. It feels like I’m looking at a Japanese woman that *desperately* went through a million surgeries to look Korean
>>51316926I think part of it is that, but also part of it is wider reach, social media influence, etc. which is why AKB is targeting both the wealthy ojisan audiences (who can afford to be whales of the group) *and* the trendy young jp girls who haven’t reached working ageSo, the idols can partners with brands that are in the meta among young jp women, while the ojisans buy the bulk of CDs for handshakeAs a side-note: you don’t see many fuckboys at AKB events. They all spend $ on chika idols instead
>>51316931she's all natural, moroni
>>51316931She's starting to look like Michael Jackson. Madness.https://youtu.be/PP8a6-T2vpo
>>51316957only if they stuffed her tits with the flesh they cut from her navel
>>51316957She went from looking natural while in AKB48 to *the* entertainment industry where producers tell the idols to fuck their faces up or not debut. This isn’t hidden information. We don’t know about Sakura specifically, but it’s highly likely that she had extensive surgery during her time in kpop. That’s just how kpop is, really.
And I don’t think any of us specifically intend to pick on Sakura. She’s simply isn’t a jpop idol anymore and she’s basically a full-on kpop idol. She made her choice back in the day; she faced the criticism of her actions by her fanbase and then the intense backlash from K-pop’s fanbase, and so on. I don’t really care about her. She just doesn’t really belong in this thread imo (or in any AKB fan spaces)
>>51316978nah, I intended to pick on Sakura, but I still like seeing her posted here
>>51316987I’d rather see someone simping over Itomomo’s calves, Aichan face pics, or the random gravure idols nobody seems to know that sometimes get posted here
OG Sakura is alright. I don't see why an old clip from a Team H waiting stage would suddenly be off topic. I'm not interested in current year Sakura beyond trolling her new fans who aren't here anyway.
>>51316989One of the core appeals of idols is watching them grow. Even the looming boggening. And Sakura's story is still part of AKB.

>>51316713500 tickets per slot is massively old info, from back when the slots were 1.5 hours long and the tickets 10 seconds each.The issue now is that Online Talks and Handshake slots very clearly have different ticket counts, if for no other reason than they are different lengths (Talks 1 hour, Handshake 1.25 hours). You also typically get 15 seconds per online talk ticket, instead of the 10 seconds for in person. Most likely Online slots are about 200-220 tickets each, and Handshake a little over 400 each.

>>51312485>>51316377These sales prove Itomomo is the it factor.
>>51317105Management struck gold with the young Maeda. They'll need to develop her, but if they play it right she'll be Itomomo's successor. AKB is set for the next 5 years, at least.
>>51317045https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIFhZH0TSR4
>>51316996Yeah, old clip from HKT is fine. I just haven’t seen old clips specifically being posted here. It’s all kpop-SakuraAnd yes, her current fans aren’t here. They’re on Reddit and Threads
>>51317094Some dude bought 400 tickets for in-person handshake for an idol, and that didn’t sell out her slot. There’s probably a point where whales suddenly start getting less time for their tickets, and this was hinted at by Japanese otaku around the time of the viral 2k+ tickets Aichan fan post.Anyways, the rumor is that, once you have enough tickets, each additional ticket gives you 5 more seconds with the idol instead of 8 more seconds. It makes sense to implement something like this, as DH wouldn’t want whales hogging up the lanes no matter how much the whale spends. From DH’s perspective, the whale is still going to pay up, so that frees up a little time for other fans to meet the idol. It’s just throughput optimization.No one knows what the actual number of tickets is, but just to demonstrate the piecewise function: If number of tickets < 50: each additional ticket gives you +8 seconds of time If number of tickets >= 50: each additional ticket gives you +5 seconds of timeLike I said, no one *knows* what that number actually is. It could be 50, 100, some other higher value, who knows
>>51317329After Sally, I’m a little more hesitant on designating any single AKB idol as the future of the group. The only way to convince skeptics otherwise is to show immediate major appeal the way Itomomo did back when she started. Everyone knew Itomomo would be a force of nature early on.
