  • “An applicant from Aomori said, “my grandfather and mother aren’t very good with AKB48”. The reasons being, they explained, “are that my grandfather can’t pronounce ‘AKB48’, and that my mom says she can’t handle seeing so many young kids”, eliciting a laugh.”
  • “Their determination and motivation was second to none. There was a high school girl that was talking like she wanted to be… the second coming of Takamina. That girl’s name was also Minami. She had determination in her eyes and a strong will.”
  • “On the other hand, there was also this middle-schooler that timidly remarked, “…everyone’s so cute, so I think I’m gonna fail.” Her name was Moeka. She gave off an unsophisticated impression with her bobbed cut [okappa].”
