Merry Christmas, everyone! EraMemory here.
And to celebrate Christmas, we have….
Nope, not a Christmas Special.
It’s actually something I got started working on maybe half a year ago… and today as my Christmas present it’s finally done! Many thanks to timer Qwink and Aoi, typesetter Alfred, QCers Sacchan & Mayuyu and Half-san for the final TLC. I know this series is hell to work on- and you guys may be about to see for yourself why. (Edit: We are having problems with this to the very last minute!!!)
Those who know me know I don’t take to new things too well. アルバイトAKB, Team 8… even now I’m still having problems connecting names to faces for the 14th and 15th gen.
So there is entirely no reason for me to be head over heels in love with the Draft members, is there?
While I was still skeptical of the concept, I made the mistake of watching the Draft documentaries on AKB’s youtube channel in their early days. And what happened sucked me into a pit of no return; I was so awed by many of these Draft members, their unique personalities, their fresh potential, and their camaraderie… In a way, it really reminded of something of the old AKB48 in the days that had just freshly started out, raw and unfamiliar to the public eye, not sure of what to expect, only knowing to try their hardest, as well as have fun in the process. There is a certain chemistry between them I don’t see anymore in the later generations; a cross between best buds and rivals, even though they’re forced to compete against each other very directly in the auditions.
But need I so anymore? Go see for yourself! The pure chaos and mischief these little minks can get up to! We will be doing all the other 2 episodes for this series.
Once again, Merry Christmas!
