AKB48 just premiered their new stage in 8 years in a newly renovated theater. Akimoto said: "We will enter the second golden age from here. I thought AKB's peak had passed, but if you think, 'Is it going to come back this far?' We are going to create a new era with the current members, I want to pass the baton to them. If we can increase the number of fans from this theater, and if AKB songs are played in the city, on the radio, and in pachinko parlors, and everyone sings AKB songs, we will enter a new golden age."

2. [+484, -6] They all have the same face
3. [+660, -3] I thought he had no interest in AKB anymore
4. [+221, -7] Ok old man
5. [+77, -1] That photo is scary
6. [+394, -4] No, but shouldn't you prepare for retirement already? Why do you still have aspirations?
7. [+19, -44] All of Akimoto Yasushi's lyrics are based on real life experiences, right?
8. [+6, -36] All of the GC people will pay you a visit! From the GC representative
9. [+258, -6] Nope nope nope nope, lol
10. [+369, 34] Hate to admit it, but I see why korean idols are so popular with school kids
11. [214, -3] But Akimoto himself seems to be kinda bored with them
12. [+148, -4] He's too old, it's impossible
13. [+116, -1] So he still has feelings for AKB48
14. [+35, -12] Why are japanese female idols less popular with japanese women than korean idols?
>> Rather than girls in frills obsessed with their bangs, stylish and cool women are better
>> Because they look like ordinary people
>> Quantity over quality
>> Why would you use Sakurazaka of all groups as an example? If they look ordinary to you, you must be in an environment with really high level of looks, cause commoners most definitely do not look like them
>> When you look at it this way, the Kami 7 stood out because of their individuality, kids nowadays all look the same
>> If you compare TWICE with japanese idols, you can see at a glance that Akimoto's idols are for children and JYP idols are for adults
>> I don't like Korea, but their faces, figures, dance and fashion sense are all great... Of course, their faces are plastic, but still. Also, the member of BLACKPINK who collaborated with Bruno Mars got a hit in the States, so they seem more like artists than idols.
>> I think the way the money is spent is different. Costumes, MVs, dance, everything is high quality. Also, for japanese idols, if they're caught using high end brands and cosmetics, the wotas will make a fuss about it, in Korea instead they become brand ambassadors. So if you ask me which one I admire, well.
15. [+69, -1] As an idol lover, I wish AKB would make songs that everyone can sing and dance to, and their own choreographies are actually becoming more skill oriented. And their lyrics, too, they're not the "I'm so cute" type that are popular nowadays, but the're reminescent of old times if you listen to them carefully.
