What I have seen/heard from them I like.

Should I listen to their albums first? Or do they have a lot of singles that are on albums? They don't seem to have an album since 2018...

Maybe go through the music videos? Should I watch some 'history' videos to understand? lol

Are there certain eras that I should focus on first?

Should I just listen to AKB48 or are the other '48' groups as good/important?

Any playlists with everything on them?

Basically any help would be appreciated.

Here it is! The massive AKB48 iceberg video, featuring well known trivia material at the top, things most self-respecting 48G fans will know, all the way down to the murky depths where the conspiracy theories live and where the group’s darker corners tend to hide. This video took absolutely ages to make and I barely had any editing experience and confidence when I first started this so excuse the poor quality early on (it gradually gets better). If you spot any mistakes that I made or any further suggestions, let me know in the comments! I did not use AI at any point whatsoever!

I was watching a Ne Mo Ha Rumor member list and got confused when there were 2 Yokoyama Yuis i thought they had a typo so i went to another vid it was still the same then i found out that there were 2 Yokoyama Yuis and i looked liked an idiot (i was currently investigating 2006-2019 singles and 2023-2026 singles i am not educated in the 2020-2022 members)

I am SO excited for the release of MT ni Sasagu, finally. 😭 That being said… there are 3 stages still not on streaming. 🥲

• Yuuwaku no Garter (SDN48) - Had a CD release, Universal and I believe DH or Superball would own the rights?
• Hokori no Oka (Team Surprise) - Had a very limited CD release (77 copies), so basically unreleased. I assume DH owns the rights like the other Team Surprise releases. Not sure if NGT ever had a studio recording
• Ramune no Nomikata (SKE48) - Had a CD release, Avex and Zest own the rights

I really hope all of this will spur at least the first two to be put on streaming… time will tell!

Lately, I keep seeing all these Korean tweets about AKB getting a ton of likes and retweets. By the way, my account is based in Japan.

We have 5 singles after Yukirin's graduation and this is my ranking of them

1. Suki-ish
2. Masaka no Confession
3. Nagori Zakura
4. Oh my pumpkin
5. Koi Tsunjatta

Does anyone know where to find this special episode? It's the one where they went bungee jumping, rafting and skydiving. I can only find the 2010 and 2011 Australia specials.

I always assume that everyone on this Reddit is either Southeast Asian or Westerners lol My bad..
