To be honest it's more of their fault I mean Acchan is by far more popular.
WTH?! How is it her fault?
Screw JE. Acchan is awesome, yea she may not have the best acting but that just so rude to blacklist her. I bet Akimoto Yasushi (Creator of the 48 groups) will get even with JE. Maybe he should blacklist Ryosuke Yamada or any other younger JE members. JE should be taking the blame and not Aachan. Don't worry Aachan the AKB nation still loves you
I don't get it...there has to be something wrong with the man's head.
huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
WTH ??? that's not even an acceptable excuse !! Aachan shouldnt be taking the blame ! She's popular enough as a soloist and as an AKB member. >:(
The story lines of this program are awful. No one actors should have taken any blame for failure when what was written for them is totally forgettable. Johnny (don't want to grow up)company is being unreasonable as usual. The writers and producers should wipe their heiny with the scripts.
i guess the production and everybody sucks.... from the comments below
both their acting sucks, and it's not even that great of a drama
well, to be honest...fans in CHINA including me think it's the story plot's or screenwriter's fault...You know what happen last year in Japan...Seriously, who will watch a drama about people dying seriously who will, not me...If there is no Acchan, I won't even go watch it. but it's too boring....
what the hell?!
Johnny has been a jerk lately. Seriously.
-Definitely!
I don't really see how this is her fault o.o
That is stupid. There are a list of people we could lame.
The screenwriter? The other actors? The director?
Johnny has been a jerk lately. Seriously.
Well it's not her fault.
And the blacklisting thing. It's still not her fault.
The story is pretty bad in itself. All these people dying. Who likes that idea?
The drama's plot is boring, I'm not a fan of AKB48 or Maeda Atsuko but I feel bad for her being blamed for the drama's low ratings.
zzz.. don't blame her. It's the story aspect which is bad
i think it's not maeda's fault
Man, i feel bad for her. It's really not her fault if the story's not good or if the directing is bad.
AKB48 is getting a little old.... I think people are tired of seeing AKB48 in every single thing. And I agree with them. They need to stick with their music and not interfere with other things that they can "flaunt" their popularity in.
I absolutely agree with you. Just because they're popular doesn't mean everything has to revolve around them.
