That is dedication. Good on him. Hope it works out for EU. I would love to get a chance to see AKB in the states.

He should lay off the booze for a while, out of all of the groups and even standalone singers and idols in Japan, he choose AKB48, the alcohol has gotten to his brain.

Belguim, huh... wait... Belguim? That country right below the one where I live? Welp, I'm not a fan of concerts, but for this to happen (if it happens) so close to where I live is just amazing.

I hope we'll get to see AKB48 perform somewhere within the U.S. one day.
Right now, the chance of that occurring seems virtually non-existent.

He's not a politician, he's a businessman. Get your facts straight. And learn proper grammar while you're at it.

There's Donald Trump going after Neil Young. Laughing

And many politicians going after Taylor Swift.

Dude, Trump is a Republican Primary runner. Meaning, he's aiming at presidency. Also, he's a dick.

It would be nice if more Japanese groups came to Europe. My favorite would be X Japan coming to say, Rock in Rio.

Politicians with more modern tastes, and unafraid of showing them... Nice.
