Calm down, oneechan. Some lesbians like danso too.

Do lesbians like guys?

>>1965848As a lesbian,I enjoy danso. I don't think of them as males. I'm guessing you're not one though or you're the kind of purist who would shitstorm if, god forbid, a protagonist in a lesbian series had an affair with a man.
I'm just here to enjoy lesbian idols. Pick a fight somewhere else.
>>1965853
You're saying you enjoy male physical appearance. It's contradictory with liking girls.
Isn't it normal to get mad if a girl goes with a man in our series?
>>1965843
Dansos are sexy. Especially dansos who are girly behind doors.
Nice, this thread is back !
I hope it'll stay up for a while, I missed it.
>>1965884
Disgusting het.
just rename this akb yuri thread.
>>1965867
>You're saying you enjoy male physical appearance
No? I think of them as butches at most and if you find that hard to comprehend then there's nothing we can do about that.
>Isn't it normal to get mad if a girl goes with a man in our series?
Depends on the story. Surely you have a mind of your own to decide if it's a good story or not?
>>1965836
yes back on again
>>1965836
Are any of these people real lesbians? And I mean real lesbians as in they've confirmed it themselves and have a girlfriend?
>>1966097
Only 1 identified as bisexual but she's basically a nobody.
There's also Karen Iwata (graduation announced) who pretty much came out on an AKBingo episode. She actually said that term "coming out" and she wrote a song about her first love being a girl.
>webm is from that episode
also this >>1965361
>>1966091
>>1966091
>>1966097
Idols usually aren't allowed to be in relationships (if I remember correctly there was a show in which they said that girlfriends were taboo too), so no.
>>1966106
Doesn't stop Mayuyu though.
I can't understand all that mogimion appeal
>>1966124
Me too but apparently a lot of people are wetting themselves.
Noob anon from the other thread here.
I googled a bit for AKB48, came on show48.com, clicked a random video linked on the homepage and by sheer luck it was just the AKBingo episode with the 2 couples one of you mentioned, lol.
Since I saw there's a shitton of episodes, could you point out which are the most yuri friendly ones, like the ones of the webms of these threads? Also who are the more shippable members?
>>1966171
Some yuri-friendly episodes unfortunately are not subbed but you can try the danso ones if you're not against it.
AKBingo 329-330 - Members basically go out on a group date with half of them in danso. Funny stuff.
For ships try Mogi/Mion, Megu/Naachan/Yuiri, Naachan/Ryoka
These ships are from AKB48 alone though. There are other groups with other yuri couples.
>>1966197
*Naanya/Ryoka
>>1966171
Exciting times are ahead of you, anon.
>>1965841
C U C K .
Naachan/Megu is great
>>1966295
Their 755 is cute too.
Example : http://7gogo.jp/talks/8MzNeLxhqm1x/2323
>>1966450
AKB members 755 and google plus are yuri heaven.
>>1966295
>>1966450
Superior couple.
>>1966519
They're even better.

Yup, see video.SKE48 is gay as fuck
https://a.pomf.cat/tyfpmv.webm
>>1966704
I'm not sure if you're trolling or stuck in 2010 but I have sad news for you. Those couples you posted are straight and confirmed to be dating men. Their relationships are just as fake as some of their, er, bodyparts.
>>1966832
Isn't pretty much everything 'idol' fake?
>>1966106
But there can almost never be caught. These girls goes on tour and stays in hotels together. Usually in pairs. As long as they are with a fellow member, there's pretty much nothing the management can do.
Hell, with 300 members in AKB group, there must be some lesbian sex going on in the hotel rooms sometimes.
300 girls who are not allowed to date or flirt with guys. How many do you think became attracted to girls? It's the same logic with girl schools.
>>1966875
Pretty much. But the yuri part is hard to ignore. They like to hint at yuri but will always have the members deny it.
Sometimes they script a simple kiss but the 2 members just go all out and gave each other a full passionate kiss. That's the fun thing about AKB. Spotting the lesbians.
>>1966949
I always feel like if I were actually a lesbian in that situation I'd keep it on the dl to avoid compromising myself.
>>1966946
I'm pretty sure some members have experimented with each other.
>>1966974
This is kind of erotic.
>>1966946
>300 girls who are not allowed to date or flirt with guys. How many do you think became attracted to girls?
Also, even if you don't consider the boys ban, we're speaking about a very large number of people, so it's statistically pretty much certain that among them there are genuine lesbians and bisexuals (even the most conservative surveys tells us that at the very least 1% of women (some even say 4 or 5%) are lesbians, and the number of bisexuals and non-completely-straight girls is much higher).
So yes, math assures us that there are actual pussy lovers idols. And as >>1966949 said, we just have to spot them.
>>1967212
I'm pretty damn sure she's gay. I've been noticing her for a VERY long time now.
Her relationship with Oshima Ryoka and her recent interactions with other members. 90% that she's a closet lesbian. And a freaking cute one too.
>>1966949
Yes, it can sometime escalate fast.
http://b.1339.cf/hvxiusl.webm
>>1967224
I really do wish she's gay. She's too damn beautiful to be wasted on men to be honest.
There's an episode of AKBingo where she plays Shoujiki Shogi with Ryoka and in one of Ryoka's question was that Naanya likes girls more than boys. Too bad it wasn't asked.
>>1967266
Where can I watch the complet vid for this with eng subs?
>>1967336
Not that anon but here: http://www.show48.com/hakata-hyakkaten-3-annex-host-ep-3/
Meru is the biggest lesbian in all of 46/48 Group.
>>1966946
Yes, I agree 100%, but I just meant that there are no confirmed couples.
Sorry for the confusion.
>>1967266
Tashima Meru is definitely gay. No fucking doubt about it. She's the one in OP pic too.
Here's an episode of her going on a date with a member, which is apparently a dream of hers.
Yuri friendly.

Thank you! i'm only getting started in this. these shows are interesting and cute, I'm such a sucker for cute stuff
>>1967369
Becareful, you don't wanna fall into the AKB rabbithole. You'll never get out. I'm telling you this from right at the bottom of that hole.

Welcome, newfriend.

AKBs Doramas are gay as fuck too if you're into that: Majisuka 1-3, Mousou Deka and Mendol
>>1967386
Sorry, forgot to mention that Mousou Deka is actually SKE.
>>1967386
I agree with this. MG2 only lacked a kiss but it was gay as hell with Nezumi/Center.
So there are gay as fuck series too?? What have I been doing that I didn't look for this sooner.
Why you guys doing this to me, I feel like I'll spend my whole day watching this and I won't even feel sorry. Well, goodbye vacations I guess
>>1967378
Now this is a fine way to spend a day off, thanks Onee-sama.
>>1967386
AKB as a whole is yuri friendly. Since they can't date or even get too close to a guy, all they have are each other. And all the management can do is hint at yuri to keep fans interested.
Even on a normal variety show, you'll still see them holding hands, hugging each other, a peck on the cheek here and there.
These girls are deprived.
Classic love triangle.

>>1967378
There are other fine MVs that we could add to these.
One a bit WTF, but well : http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/AKB48---Ambulance-/7831271927a9473c364c386de3b21d0f
Another, but a cute one : http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Nogizaka46---Shitto-no-Kenri/fff63d7e4d5acf41dcdab3fb8f0dd237
>>1967415
There are canon lesbians/couples in two of those shows and very strong subtext in Majisuka, what are you talking about?
>>1967212
That's the ratio for a normal situation but we are talking about a female group of only beautiful girls that change clothes together, have bath together, sleep together in hotel. Every little lesbian would want to join.
>>1967440
whaaat, poor girl! she was crying I can't with this. is this legit?
how did things turn out for them? I want to know what happened to the crying girl ack

Probably not as gay as Naanya but still god-tier.

So who is the gayest of them all?
>>1967510

Naanya is definitely gay. She has all the symptoms no matter how hard she tries to hide it.

What >>1970420 said.
>tryhard
The last time I checked, K-pop fanservice can't even hold a candle to J-pop fanservice. K-pop shippers are, frankly speaking, pathetic. Just an eye contact between 2 idols and they post it on YT 3x slow motion with some shitty song.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2016-01-29/new-idol-group-lilygirl-appeals-to-yuri-fans/.97875

>>1970736
You just had to remind me that she exists.
>troll was samefagging

>tfw Erica isn't completely wrong about something
>>1970746
>I'm quite comfortable speaking for the fandom I helped build.
>>1970766
>isn't completely
Never said she wasn't being her usual obnoxious self.
>>1970766
is this something she actually wrote?
that's pretty dumb.
>>1970766
I never cared enough about her to look about her, but claiming that she "helped to build" the fandom just because she "worked" on the English release of Strawberry Panic it's so ridiculous that I can't help but laugh.
>>1970793
Well, she did raise the visibility of yuri back in the day through mailing lists, cons and all sort of writing. She was one of the first people to campaign for abandoning the term shoujo-ai and using yuri. The idea that anyone could talk for an entire fandom comes from those old days when you actually did have a few big name fans holding court. It's of course ludicrous now.
>>1970766
>Her fanclub actual defends that
>>1970766
What was this? What did Erica do this time?
>>1970803
No. I've followed yuri before Erica and I didn't need her long-ass blog posts about yuri novels that was basically her inflicting her opinions on us. Also, the fact that she regularly calls out to 'loser fanboys' like she's high and mighty and beyond judgement irritates shit out of me.
tl;dr I don't need Erica to appreciate yuri before, now and in the future
I refuse to let Erica kill this thread.
Love this kinda couple.
>Let's make an episode to show how real the couples in AKB are
>Let's choose fake couples

>>1973937
>>1971108
Frankly, I prefer passionate Yuri fanboys who are cool with everyone, like the "Yuri Danshi" guy, than obnoxious soapboxes like Erica who complains and bashes on everything.
And this is good news! Do the maths people. An idol girl group called "Lilygirl" is being aimed at Yuri fans. This means the Yuri fanbase in Japan is big enough to be worth marketing to. In other words, the fanbase is pretty much growing. And in turn, we'll be sharing in the glory, by likely getting more Yuri goods, like Anime, Manga and other Yuri stuff down the pipeline.
>>1973937
The can run this for like 8 episodes if they feature SKE. Yuri heaven.
>>1974948
>the fanbase is pretty much growing
I'll hold onto that thought. Idol groups comes with all sorts of gimmick to get themselves known. You know, like Ladybaby. There's even an idol group that doesn't sing but read novels.
Yaoi is still going really strong because straight women loves it. And let's face it. It's mostly females who read love themed mangas.
Yuri's market is extremely limited. Straight women wouldn't be interested in 2 girls having an affair and not all men are interested in that too.
I hope Yuri will grow, but I'm not it wun be soon.
>>1970704
finally
> tatu was going to have an anime movie but it was cancelled
shame nobody bothered to try asking the anime director assigned to it (or the manager whose idea it was) what it would have been about
Never been fully invested in these threads, but I take it the main topic is IRL idols only?
>>1975233
If you are always going to bring in an us vs them attitude, of course, you will have an extremely myopic view that Yuri market is "limited", and be eternally unsatisfied. Some common sense and logic needs to be used. When someone is talking about a certain market (Yuri, this case) growing, obviously, you talk about the increase in size from where it first started from and the amount of steady growth per it's pace. This isn't a competition against the Het or Yaoi fandoms. The important point is getting a bigger share of Yuri stuff. Not to wipe out the whole of Yaoi or Het fandoms, or to be compulsorily bigger then any of them. I don't know how you can even look at it from this point of view. Because this is really no common sense.
And Yuri has genuinely grown. Back then, it was a total wasteland. Since then things have gotten damm good for Yuri. And now, there is even an idol group doing Yuri pandering. Not bad. I can't speak for anyone else, but my taste is more open like the Japanese, so I don't look it from the narrower/socio-political Yuri view of the non-Japanese. Which might make a difference in Yuri goods perceived.
>Idol groups comes with all sorts of gimmick to get themselves known
Read the article again. This isn't a general Idol Group which so happens to be doing things differently. It's explicitly stated that this is a purposely formed Yuri Idol group, where they hope to get Yuri fans attention (on top of normal fans, of course).
And gimmicks are used because there is a good effect. There is no gimmick where Idols line up in a row, and shit in a toilet bowl live, because who the hell wants to see that? Same with Yuri. Why wasn't the Yuri gimmick used years back then but only now? Common sense. Yuri is not good enough as a gimmick, until now, when it's bigger, more well-known, and naturally taken.
Isn't the idol industry basically inhospitable to any relationships? I'd think any yuri is a PR disaster waiting to happen.
Is that allowed?
>>1981830
That's lewd.
>webm related it's Naanya again

Mukuchi no Lion MV. Basically it's love triangle between Nanase, Wakatsuki and Sakurai.
I am actually loving Nogizaka46. Just got into them only last month. My fave pairing in there is Captain Sakurai and Wakatsuki. Other members are shipping them (e.g Ikoma and Sayuringo) Even MCs from their show Bananaman (Nogidoko) and Ijiri (Nogibingo) are teasing them.
One of their best moments was Nogidoko's 2014 valentines episode where members give other members their valentines chocolate. Wakatsuki gave her chocolate to Captain and even confessed to Captain that she really likes her but was rejected. Captain gave her chocolate to Nanase! That was such a good episode.
