AKB48 freaks me out

sometimes, i give my boys work to do.
but when i walk past their computers, a picture like this is on the screen :


AKB48 is this massive Japanese all girl pop group consisting of 48 schoolgirls in three teams : Team A, Team K and Team B.

That`s exactly 9.6 x the size of the Backstreet Boys.


And my students spend way too much of their time on the website trying to decide which girl they like the most. Which is kind of cute in the way I used to be in love with Devon Sawa after he was Casper {remember when Casper became a real boy? swoon}

but when you go out with your grown up friends with grown up lives and grown up jobs and THEY talk about which barely legal member of AKB48 they like and then they SING THIS WHOLE SONG and DO THE DANCE :

that`s creepy, non?! i need to find {real life, air breathing, walking, talking} girlfriends for some of my friends... and fast.

Torie Jayne said...

Wow! that is a big group, Have a sweet day!

Al said...

Good gosh thats a mighty big pop group... but i guess its less competition for all the boys fighting over them coz there is so many?

Oh Devon Sawyer... Casper... So watching that tonight... That kiss always makes me swoon....

Vanessa said...

Hehe, unless you're willing to pimp out your school kids, I'm not sure the 'living, breathing, girl' thing will happen. Sheesh. They look young and annoying. Why do they smile so much??? And do the guys do the hip movements when they dance- that would be funny. :)

Vanessa said...

p.s. Will I be forever hated by your guy friends for making that comment?

EEbEE said...

Wow the music really sucks.

but that's not really the point of this group is it...

shame on them! SHAME!

i guess we need to define the line between love and lust to be able to categorise the legion of fans this lot attract...

Sara said...

omg...that's a lot of girls! And that really IS freaky!

GEG said...

I LOVED LOVED LOVED Devon Sawa after that movie! I would have literally done anything to befriend a ghost that would turn into a cute boy and kiss me like that.

miku said...

I see no use for AKB48, they can't showcase the girls' talent, it would take too long. Unfortunately I can only view them as a corporate scheme & not real artists.

Vina Rathakoune said...

I see... and who did you talk with to get a bit creep-ed out?

olivia rae said...

haha that band is kind of on the creepy side!! that's a lot of girls in one band. hope you're having a great week sarah!! xoxo

selena said...

WOW they really can't sing. You'd think with that many they'd be able to fine one or two soloists who could carry a tune.

Emily Anne said...

Hahaha ohh Sarah you're so funny!!!

"remember when Casper became a real boy? swoon"

That made my day.

xoxoxo

OceanDreams said...

Ha ha ha...that is hilarious! Does not surprise me though. ;) Sarah...I totally thought of you because I am working on an Interior Design project and my country is non other than Japan! Do you have any pictures that I cannot live without perhaps?

By the way not sure why it wouldn't let you comment, no one else was having the problem, maybe blogger was just being stupid that day! Also, thanks for your sweet comment...Funfetti is basically a cake mix. If you want I can send some to you sometime! ;)

Have a great week!

Jo said...

Gosh... Creepy, super creepy... The clip resembles a bit the first clip of Britney Spears "Hit me baby one more time" : )) Can you imagine asking for the autograph? It would take 3 h before you get the signatures of the whole band!

selena said...

find not fine

bye

la beast said...

omgoodness i got a good chuckle out of this ridiculous girl band.
I also was VERY pleased to read that your students give you anime cartoons. Classic!

Tamara said...

What a terrible music video.

What a terrible band idea, actually.

Hehehe... nice to find someone else who remembers drooling over Devon Sawa. Wild America was even worse than AKB48, but good grief how we loved it.

Manju said...
