Of the clips on their right now, an early favorite of mine would be a program that interviews producer Nakata Yasutaka about the “ten golden rules”…
AKB48 “桜の栞” – Rejoice rejoice! We’re only a few figure skating finals away from Winter being over with. That means warmth! And flowers! And, in Japan, cherry blossom season.
