Skate and Annoy: Daily

Friday T&A on S&A: Year end edition

Ending 2010 on a classy note here with this pinup poster of the Japanese pop group called AKB48, which near as I can tell from the web site has something to do with the fact that there is apparently at least 48 girls in the group at any given time. I ‘m not even kidding. It’s crazy, it looks like they have different shifts of girls. Sometimes there are like five girls in a video, sometimes fifteen. They have team rosters. Maybe it’s a competition, or whatever it is, I think my failure to comprehend goes deeper than just not understanding Japanese. There are 48 girls in the group. A lot of them have bikinis, but only six of them have skateboards.

  • There are currently 49 members in teams A, K and B combined, and that’s not including the kenkyusei team who perform regularly at the AKB theatre in Akihabara.

    Make sure you check out SKE48 from Nagoya too. The girls in both groups range from about 15 to 21 and most fans are men wearing long trench coats.

    Judging from the amount of Dwindle boards they have there I’m guessing they all came from Murasaki sports.

  • How did we get tricked out of polygamy again? Damn.

  • basic loser

    hot asian women….hate me!!!!

    • A

      Don’t be hard on yourself, they don’t hate you, they probably just don’t know you exist.

      • basic loser

      • basic loser

    I’m disappointed that all the trucks are mounted properly. Speaking of mounting, I’d like the one with the Kelch and the stockings please. Thank you.

  • Japanese chicks holding cheap Chinese made boards. Nice!

  • That’s way more bandmembers than in Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra even… but I’ll bet they’re not 1/48th as good.

      Haha,well said! I was bummed I just missed out on their show this year.

      …but I must say,Kilwag you never let us down,dawm!
      One has to have a thing for asian girls though.
      I’m just happy they’re not tied to one single shoe sponsor.
