SKE48 is a Big Fish in a Small Pond
Remember when the mere idea of an SKE48 rose everyone’s eyebrows? When the group was first formed, there were a multitude of predictions and criticism going against the group, thinking it was destined to be a half-assed attempt at capitalizing on AKB’s growing success. Seems pretty silly now, seeing how …

SKE48 is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite Idols groups. And while I love AKB, SKE has carved it’s own special place with their upbeat songs and choreography. They got unique members and that underdog alternative niche. Plus it’s like the whole 48 Process all over again. So …

It’s been a long time coming—maybe a little too long, but I’m psyched. I read on TokyoGraph that SKE48 will finally form a Team E to complete the group! It appears they already selected all the Team E members from their pool of 26 kenkyuusei(research students). SKE will finally have …

From the repackage of her debut album 17%, Watanabe Miyuki releases a dance video for her new song “Cheek-tic-Cheek”. I know this is labeled as a dance video, but it’s honestly about as well-produced as any idol promotional video that comes across my desk. True to form, the PV contains …
