It is true. Obviously she is no longer a member of the group, and she changed her name.

Don't believe me? See it for yourself.

HAHAHAHA, I find none of them attractive - nor do I take anything they do seriously. Sex sells - even when you're underage. (ew, that sounded gross)

I don't understand the above.

I do think the whole thing is a little odd, but it's nothing I haven't seen before with other bands of this type.

It's taking it a little too far, but I guess it depends how you view it. I mean, I'm a young girl myself and I can see the cute factor, but I'm not really sure that it's an overly sexualised thing... to me, it's not, anyway.

Somehow I grabbed some photo from that nude photobook already haha.

I heard that AKB wanna stop this AV selling. They said this AV damage their band image (or idol image) something like that.

I just started getting into AKB48. I watched their Webster Hall performance in New York and was surprised to see the audience was mostly non-Asians(mostly whites, Hispanics, blacks etc...)

Any AKB48 fans?

yep. hello-online recently added akb48 pics

^ Yeah, I saw that. A H!P site having an AKB forum. I think its cool. I like H!P like Buono!, C-ute and some MM. MM and AKB48 performed on the same stage during the 24 hour TV thing.

I luv AKB48!

Every Asian country will have their own version of AKB48 by the end of two years. The AKB48 format is revolutionary. It's like combining Reality TV with pop-Idols. I love their sexy, cute image.
