It’s March! And with it, comes the third month of the MNL48 audition. While there is still no news about it, the rest of 48 Group had been busy. Kojima Haruna has graduated (with her final theater performance scheduled for April) and with that, Minegishi Minami is officially the last active member for AKB48’s first generation.
AKB48 Team 8 got their official Facebook page where the members can make posts to their fans. In fact, Riona Hamamatsu makes two posts, one in Japanese, and one in English. Serika Nagano gives greetings in different languages (Filipino included) in every post she makes. So, you see, these little things do matter in the hearts of fans.
If you are a Team 8 fan like me, I’d recommend you guys visit the Facebook page of Team 8 Lounge. They are the group dedicated to propagating the Team 8 fandom and also makes english subs for Team 8 shows. While the lack of personnel has made it hard for these folks to keep up with the translating, they are still my go-to subbing team. If you’re a Team 8 fan, and you can help out with translations, do drop them a message.
MNL48 sign-boards have started appearing in Ryo Aki taxis. Take a photo and ride the taxi. Don’t forget to share the photos with the MNL48 Facebook page with the hashtag #MNL48Start.
Anyway, due to popular demand, I’m bringing back my fave list. Only this time, I accepted the recommendations of others (from Stage48 and in the comments section of my blog) as well as a sort description as to why they chose them.
From Saa in the comments section:
Macreu
– Best of friends with Setsunai. Good at dancing.
Setsumi
– Best of friends with Macreu. Good at dancing.
Vivienne
– said to have an “idol aura” with a singing video to match.
ooioo from Stage48:
Tomomi
– Said to have been campaigned for in 2ch (no, really?)
Cyph from Stage48
MallowSama
– Had an interesting message (according to Cyph anyway) and has a good personality
Rika
– Because of her voice. She also has a youtube channel with a username of nekozumi
Coshan
– Makes tagalog covers of AKB48 songs.
As you can see, different people have different reasons why they want to support these hopefuls. Here’s hoping we get to see the second round of auditions soon.

I don’t know why I’m laughing xD
Because you got featured in this blog twice? If you’re lucky, you might get featured more in the future.
If I’m lucky. And I’m not. Maybe just a little faith and trust. Also some pixie dust xD Just kidding. I’m very unlucky tho
no updates? I’m hungry forr updates T.T
I have a draft made but there isn’t anything to report for the moment. Even the Facebook page is inconsistent with its updates.
Now. I’m getting pumped up xD Hoping for news soon
Always love anything like this
I love featuring the girls if I have the chance.
I didn’t think I’d get recommended by a friend, or even have my name up there LOL. Thanks!
Thank your friend. You were on my Likes list, but I never got around to featuring you.
Ohhhh Erii is here <3 I really like her.
