On A Jog

Miyuki chuckled at Seika stammering over her words, and patted the younger girl’s head.

“I might’ve had it rough, but I have to overcome it, right? I always thought I could do it by myself, but after getting into 0048, I’ve realised that relying on others isn’t embarrassing or deprecating. Families are there to be relied on, and you guys are my family now.”

She got up and stretched. “Speaking of overcoming things…How long are we going to rest here? We gotta finish our run! Come on, Seika-chan! Overcome your lack of stamina!”

Laughing, she ran ahead, light-headed and a little giddy. It felt good telling her friend about her past, and letting it out instead of keeping it all inside herself all the time. She no longer had to suffer alone. She had 0048 now.

Seika beamed as Miyuki said they were family. Sure, she already thought that, but it was nice to hear the other girl truly believed it. That turned to a quick groan when the older girl made her continue running.

Picking herself up, she ran, following Miyuki. “Hey! Don’t leave me behind!” Laughing, she couldn’t help but think running was the best idea she’d had in a while.

//outofmiyu: And I think that’s a good point to finish the thread off ^^ Next thread I’ll make the starter for when I remember to, and I’ll plot it around talking about Seika’s past instead since this one revolved around Miyuki’s :D

I was pondering why 0048 was successful. It had the successors (arguably the most popular members from the first three gens, plus relatively popular members as background successors) that we know and love, with a slight change, but no dramatically so.

Then we have the KKS. I wonder, if they hadn’t been voiced by actually AKB members, would the show still have been as successful? Mayuyu, of course, has a massive fanbase (being 2nd in sousenkyo at the time) and her being one of the main characters didn’t hurt. 

As someone who wasn’t a fan of AKB48 before watching the show, I think that having that connection to AKB48, more than just “yeah we’re the future AKB yay~” made me curious. I think it gave not just the show, but AKB48 as a whole, a lot more credibility and depth.

//outofmiyu: I kind of came at it with a different perspective, since I’ve been a fan of AKB for a long time and before the show. I knew that actual AKB members were voicing the characters, but I didn’t really pay attention to whom was voicing whom until I noticed that Chieri’s voice sounded really familiar xD I think what got me, as an AKB fan already, into the show was the point you made about the main successors being, arguably, the most popular from the first 3 generations. I watched quite closely to see how well they could pull off the successors reflecting the original’s personalities, and I feel as though they did quite well.

Acchan’s always portrayed as a bit of a loner, just like the Acchan 13th in 0048. Yuko’s quite high energy in real life too, Takamina always gets picked on by the other members but is still, most definitely, the captain of AKB, just as she shows the leader-like qualities in 0048. Sayaka and Sae are those ‘Twin Towers’ who everyone thinks are athletic, Nyan-Nyan’s a bit of an airhead, Tomochin has that signature pout that everyone could associate with her character in 0048, and Yukirin’s the queen of reactions xD The only one I didn’t really like was how they portrayed Mariko in Tsubasa - the original Mariko was always a bit of a troll and a joker. No, I digress. The original Mariko was a HUGE troll, and I don’t feel as though they did a good job with her in the two Mariko successors in the show.

And oh god I wrote too much I’ll stop now.

//outofmiyu: Does anyone want a starter with Miyuki? She’s feeling a bit lonely since only Yuko’s getting the starter requests and noone’s been talking to her for the past 2 and a half weeks apart from Chieri.

UM… well I still want to plot out Paru meeting Yuuko for the first time (you never replied so I don’t know if you accidentally missed that), and I still need to clear through the backlog of rps to reply to, but if you want to post a starter for any of my three, I’ll try to get to it as soon as possible?

//outofmiyu: Ah, I must’ve missed that one! D: Send a message to me or something with the plot you want, and I’ll write up a starter ^^

((Maybe since the concert is approaching, I could make a RP with Miyuki about the dance moves! ^__^))

//outofmiyu: Sure thing! I’m running out of ideas for starters haha, so it’d be great if you made one. xD

**Does anyone know if these are all completely different items?

I’d hate to get them and find out they’re the same, which has happened to me before… So does anyone know?**

//outofmiyu: They look to be different, I think…Well, one of the books has 300+ pages of content while the other has 132, so I’m pretty sure those two are different at least. It’s just that the descriptions all sound very similar ><

akb0048rp:

Please let me know how many muses you have. A few people are on their second and third, so I figured I should take a list. (Not everyone applied via their personal, but sometimes they applied via an already made account or on their first muse, which is why I haven’t been able to get everyone)

As per the rules, you can only have three muses, so I would like everyone to send me their muses (I don’t need to know your personal or need blog links or anything, just say something like “Mun for character x is also mun for character y too”)

//outofmiyu: Mun for Miyuki is also mun for Yuko~

((Hihi! Is everyone doing well? So I have recorded Kiseki ma ni awanai. I will post it as soon as I can. But with college apps and getting cast as a lead in the fall play I’m a bit crammed. Forgive me! But look forward to it! Request anymore AKB covers below!))

//outofmiyu: Ah, ah! Yume no Kawa! It’s such a beautiful song!
