Going to drop this in here, from NMB48 (yes another ...48) but from my adoptive city, Catchy pop song, but listen to that guitar in the break.. how often do you get shred solo's in pop music. (saying that I know a lot of AKB's stuff actually has a lot of fairly good guitar licks and solo's too..So maybe it's just an Aki-P thing.. infectious pop, hundreds of idols and metal solo's.. works for me)

Not AKB exclusive. see:
I've posted this way too many times, but its relevant!
I still think the AKB groups have far too many girls. There should be a limit at 10

it doesn't matter because they don't sing live anyway.
when they do it's usually solo or at the max 3 girls, because they can't harmonize at all.
I've heard them sing live in big groups.. it was a bit haphazard but to be fair it was early footage (nhk had a special on) the size of the groups, and the way the whole thing is run is truly a stroke of genius, i could talk for hours on why its such a brilliant system.

I've also heard them sing live. That's when I found out they were bad at harmonizing.
I heard the NHK special was based on the documentary which I really want to see, but it's not coming out on DVD for a while. There are also reports that the lip syncing is very tightly controlled; each mic for each person can vary over how much lip syncing they want.
Anywho, I've been reading about the Japanese Entertainment Industry, which has been depressing me a lot.
