ughhhhhhh noooooooooo oh god this makes me so depressed.

Why? It's just a chart song.

[Pavlova]

It's a song with a terribly nasty message that I hate seeing these girls I love so much groove to..

Fuck the undergirls theory this is great. I think I just hate the transitional period since its so hard to win over fans.

The three musketeers are great (Okada Nana, Nishino Miki and Kojima Mako)

The irl scenes seem so forced and don't go with the music at all.

I know I agree so much. The MV is in the Kamonegikkusu thread as well btw.

Rino Sashihara: "Idols don't need to learn how to sing and dance"
Link: http://majide2ch.blogspot.be/2013/10/ri ... learn.html

Waratte Iitomo conducted an experiment where the regular hosts gave a live lesson to 100 gradeschoolers. Rino Sashihara's class was titled "How to become a member of AKB" for the children who wanted to become idols. She said that there are 3 points to keep in mind if they wanted to join AKB. The first one is "There's no need to practice singing and dancing". Sashihara was originally an idol-otaku, but she bluntly says:

"Girls who can't dance are cuter. They make you want to root for them".
"Most idol fans these days are old men, right? These old men actually find the girls who can't do anything cuter, and they're happier when they tell a girl that 'You're totally no good!'. I think people are more attracted to idols who are giving it their all despite being really bad at it".
