AKB48 — なんか、ちょっと、急に…

My exploration though older AKB releases at some point brought me to this Team 4 song, なんか、ちょっと、急に… (nanka, chotto, kyuu ni… / Somehow, Just a Bit, Suddenly…) off of 唇に Be My Baby from the end of 2015. I don’t know a lot about the history of the AKB teams, Read more…

AKB48 — Mystery Line

Mystery Line, a B-side with no video from AKB48’s 6th album, has special meaning for me. Well it’s not that exciting a story, but when I spent a month living in Saitama, commuting an hour and 45 minutes each way to Tokyo every day, I got lost a lot. Maybe Read more…

AKB48 — モニカ、夜明けだ

Here by popular (i.e. my wife’s) request, Zukky’s dark double-center モニカ、夜明けだ (MONIKA, yoake da / Monica, It’s The Dawn). A good song from the single with the best cover, too. Aside from Zukky getting a non-cute song, I was happy to see Ayaka make this “48 Group NEXT12” senbatsu with Read more…

AKB48 — 抱きつこうか?

Here’s a quick one — and come to think of it another Theater Edition song! My wife fell in love with the 2019 Request Hour performance of 抱きつこうか? (dakitsukou ka? / Should We Embrace?) by the AKB 16th gen members, and eventually it pulled me in, too. To be fair, Read more…

AKB48 — 法定速度と優越感

Been super busy, so all my translations have been languishing. Well let’s get back into it with another bouncy song. 法定速度と優越感 (houtei sokudo to yuuetsukan / The Speed Limit and a Sense of Superiority) by the AKB48 17-and-under senbatsu. I liked this song and MV as soon as it came Read more…

AKB48 — 最強ツインテール

Sometimes you just want a bouncy idol song, and the AKB songs with a younger member senbatsu usually deliver. So I’ll probably translate a few of the recent ones here, starting with 最強ツインテール (saikyou TSUINTEIRU / Mightiest Twintails) from AKB48’s NO WAY MAN Type-D. The lineup here is the top Read more…

Here another long Instagram post from AKB48’s Ma Chia-Ling, brought to my attention on the S48 forums, and it piqued my interest so I decided to do a quick translation. I wish I had time for more proofreading, but this post is late enough as-is. Ok, I’m not going to Read more…

AKB48 Team 8 — 蜂の巣ダンス

Sadly relegated to the theater edition of AKB48’s 52nd single, Teacher Teacher, and with no music video, is one of my favorite AKB songs, 蜂の巣ダンス (hachinosu DANSU / Beehive Dance). It’s performed by Team 8, and is a great showcase for their energy, and for the dance and vocal prowess Read more…

Ma Chia-Ling’s June 24 Instagram Post

There was a request over on S48 to translate a long Instagram post from AKB48 Team 4 member Ma Chia-Ling (馬嘉伶). I follow her, but I had missed this one myself. Macharin is one of the first idols I started following on Showroom, in large part because at the time Read more…
