I really like this song, you know. Being the pervert I am, it gives this song extra cool points in my book. But I should start from the beginning.

Meet Ohori Megumi, 25 year old idol and pervert girl extraordinaire

Meetan is known by non AKB fans because of her solo single release, which was pretty… racy and kind of controversial. She is also popular for her perverted character, and her constant kissing and hugging of all other AKB members.

Ever since she adopted this type of character, she became more popular, it was a great strategy for her, because it’s not common to see an idol behaving like this, which makes her very interesting. She’s one girl that you will NOT mistake from anyone else in any other group XD. And this song, Oshibe to Meshibe to Yoru no Chouchou, was tailored just for her. She’s the perverted older girl, so why not give her a sexy duet with a loli and make sure that it becomes a hit. And I think it did.

And you see, she made it her song, her trademark. She’s been replaced by other girls whenever she’s absent at theater performances, with several degrees of success, but there’s no question, Meetan LOVES this song, and we love her in it! Her sultry voice, mischievous looks and moves make her the owner of the sexy title in AKB… But you know, there’s another half in this unit! Equally important, too. It was a key decision because they had to pick someone believable for the role of the infatuated younger girl, someone who would play along with Meetan.

And this is where the next girl comes in!

Meet Kasai Tomomi. I adore her. Seriously. She’s an anime character brought to life, girly to the max and with a very sweet voice. She also happens to be quite cheerful all the time, but since her eyes are kind of droopy she looks like a little emo whenever she isn’t smiling XD 

Her emotional looks are perfect for this kind of song, somehow. We’d already seen her as Yuko’s troubled secret lover in Kinjirareta Futari, where she almost broke all of our hearts with her sadness and her longing expressions, so, could she turn it up a notch and become the perfect partner for Meetan? The answer is rather obvious if you’ve ever seen a performance of OshiMeshi. She plays the weak, beautiful younger girl SO well! And she also adds a bit of spice to her part, making it even more interesting and very sexy in her own way.

Her super girly personality makes her naturally flirtatious, and her emotional look makes her look completely in love with Meetan XD It works perfectly! Which is what makes this combination so hard to beat whenever it comes to shuffling it around a bit. And let’s be honest here, some units aren’t meant to be shuffled. Like Blue Rose, for example. It doesn’t mean that the shuffles of that unit have been bad or that the girls couldn’t handle it or anything like that, it’s just… it doesn’t feel the same. It’s just not good enough. Interesting, of course, and sexy and stuff, but just… not quite there.

Here’s a performance of OshiMeshi with the original line up

OshiMeshi

The point of this post is just stating my love for this very pervy but awesome song, and also, treat all my visitors with a little preview of what they will find in the newest AKB DVD, which was released today. It’s a shuffle concert, and it features OshiMeshi performed by the 2 most popular girls of Team A and possibly of the whole AKB. Maeda Atsuko aka. Acchan as Kasai Tomomi and Kojima Haruna aka. Harunyan as Ohori Megumi. I think that this version is cute, and Acchan plays her part perfectly, but Haruna is just way too cute to pull off a predator role perfectly. It’s still quite charming and amusing though, so don’t miss it! XD

More OshiMeshi XD team A version…

Stupid wordpress won’t let me embed the videos for some reason, so you’ll have to click around, sorry

Ok, finally, Happy 3rd Birthday to Team K!!! My favorite AKB team!! I have a very special post prepared to commemorate, but I just thought I’d say it here as well
