AKB48 - newest interest
I've recently listened to more AKB48, just because I like upbeat songs (why do I like V6, right?). Before I didn't think I'd be interested in their music knowing it's "just 48 cute girls on stage." It's true that's how they market the group, but I found some of their songs very listen-able and cute and encouraging and what have you.
The first song ever that I liked from AKB48 was Beginner, when I saw their performance in FNS back in 2010; I liked that perf very much (mostly because Maeda Atsuko looked so good in that perf :">). It had a catchy tune, and their dance looked pretty attractive. But, after 2 years - just recently, I fell in love with another song of theirs - Sakura no hababiratachi. Their performance somehow really touched me and made me feel so nostalgic - their hand movements mirroring the falling flowers, and how all of them were so... young and all looked so... innocent and child-like. The striking contrast between them - back then, and them - now, reminded me of my childhood, and how we all have changed...
Latest song I've enjoyed is Aitakatta; the PV was cute (though I'm getting bored of the bell in the beginning of so many PVs :p). Nice, catchy, happy song :D I love PV's depicting friendship (case in point, Utao-Utao), maybe that's why :D
As you can tell from above, Maeda Atsuko catches most of my attention in AKB48, although I really like Takahashi Minami too (partly because my dear tea-chan likes Minami the best :p). Maeda seems both confident and shy at the same time; she's not strikingly beautiful but her smile is very charming and fresh. Takahashi is the type of girl that I usually like - boyish, seems to be a very strong and independent person; she's AKB's leader anyways. But now that Maeda is gone, I'm not sure if I'll enjoy watching them as much as before (she's for sure an eye-candy for me :"3, although I don't like her voice, it's high-pitched and sometimes annoying).
BUT, the person I found most beautiful in AKB48 so far is Akimoto Sayaka. I think she has very strong features, and her beauty is more striking than the rest.
All in all, if you know other AKB48 songs that are upbeat and happy (which I assume most are?) or those that you like, please recommend me some :p
