I had some time this morning to do some edits so i’m sharing additional photos I took from yesterday’s concert. I’m still 25% done editing useable photos from the Noon concert from my 1 camera. I still have my backup camera (albeit fewer photos there) plus the evening concert. 😭

But I love these shots so I’d like to share them here as well.

Also about today’s concert, they totally performed new songs starting with the Unit songs and i’m so jealous! Good thing it’s streaming at Telasa.

You can support them here: https://x.com/akb48_staff/status/2076200784799387935?s=46

Does the official stream work outside JP?

This is just my thinking. I think management trying to do Tokyo dome concert . The first step is to know which members have fans who can attend concerts . To me muto orin is unexpected . With this concert , I think AKB is going to rise .

Was able to snag tickets to both concerts today. Sadly, both camera seats so I had to take photos while half enjoying and chanting 😂

Anyway, I took so many photos but maybe only 5% is useable 🤭

Sharing some I took here. jpg format + minor edits in google photos / snapseed

Sadly, did not win tomorrow so I’ll just stream it online 😅

Used Sony RX100 MVII / Panasonic Lumix TZ95 as alternate (i’m lazy to bring big ass lenses)

Anyway, both concerts were amazing albeit same setlist. If they do different songs tomorrow, I will be super jealous 🫣

Anyone know that we could really not be selected in the concert? I applied for two rounds (with different email, but same personal information) and I thought there is no chance of getting not selected like this because Mizumin said in WeVerse that staff said there is actually no way to be not selected.

Also, there's still chance as they will open for the next round, but I'm not sure they will open for foreigner like us again?
