ㅤ: AKB Group Survey

Found this on tumblr awhile ago and decided to do it!

48Group survey/introduction

(I actually deleted a few questions from the original since I didn't know how to answer some.)

Around when did you get hooked?

Back in the River era in 2009. I had been (and still am) a Morning Musume fan and around then AKB started picking up steam. The community around that time was a little crazy with many people disliking AKB and their uprising while Hello!Pro sales continued to slip but someone posted the video for River and I was totally hooked. I loved the song, the PV and the message from the lyrics. River is what pretty much converted me over to an AKB fan immediately.

Bias?

Since there's already an oshi question I'll answer this a little differently..

I have bias towards old gen because they were the group that I learned to love. Though I still pay attention to AKB, I haven't found members that I instantly loved such as Acchan, Yuko, Takamina, Mariko, Itano, Sayaka..

Can you name all the members in one of the 48Groups?

For the 2009 line-up, definitely. Now? No way.

Danso fan?

Lemme show my Jurina bias for a minute

Ever met one of the idols?

Nope (; o ;)

Favourite 48G related TV show?

AKBingo was really fun and made me like a lot of members. Special shoutout to Majisuka since it was really cool for an idol drama.

Group bias? (Which group do you prefer)

The original, AKB48

SKE48 is a close second though.

Sexy or cute?( Idol image)

I like cool, confident idols most.

Idol costume preferred?

There are seriously so many in AKBfamily that it's so hard to choose

From the more recent and simple but elegant Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai

To the over the top cuteness of Sugar Rush

To the cool outfits like Beginner (and River and Uza..)~

AKB's costumes generally always impress me,

if anything it'd be easier to pick which I didn't like!

Japanese fluent?

No~

I can understand a few words here and there but nowhere near conversational.

Kami-oshi?

Juri-baby~ When I first got into AKB, I was massively confused on who Jurina was and didn't understand the differences between AKB and SKE. Her cool and mature aura despite being young was interesting and the more I saw her perform, the more I really liked her. Ponytail to Shushu was when I really started to oshi her. Her very ambitious personality and her energy in everything she does is what makes me her fan.

Looks wise who do you think is most beautiful?

There's a lot of cute and cool members, but beautiful.. I would have to go with

Kojima Haruna~

and Maeda Atsuko for graduated member~

Music video(s) that you love

There are soooo many that I like~

Also too many! I will link a few here ♥

Beginner (<Link to the video)

One of my favourite, yet most controversial pv's that AKB had done. This was originally banned and we only had a very grainy cell phone version to watch. Later it was finally released to the excitement of fans. This PV is still one of the best and most original they have in their repertoire.

I am also a big fan of the darker concept PV's with interesting choreography~
