I'm doing each of these 1 by 1, in Japanese "alphabetical" order (so if you're not sure where your favorite comes in, check below), starting with Team A & finishing with Team B (sorry, Mayu fans!). I'll try to do at least 1 a day, but sometimes I might do more, sometimes I might do none. No scans/pics, cause I don't feel like putting that much effort in. It's already hard enough holding open the book & translating at the same time.

So, with that, this will be the index post (links may well open in a new window, depending on your browser settings).

1 - Iwasa Misaki
2 - Ota Aika
3 - Oya Shizuka
4 - Katayama Haruka
5 - Kuramochi Asuka
6 - Kojima Haruna
7 - Sashihara Rino
8 - Shinoda Mariko
9 - Takajo Aki
10 - Takahashi Minami

17 - Akimoto Sayaka
18 - Itano Tomomi
19 - Uchida Mayumi
20 - Umeda Ayaka
21 - Oshima Yuko
22 - Ono Erena

EDIT: Got a good question in my PM Box:
The "Writer's Tweet" is something that's actually in the book, in each girl's section. I'm not sure who exactly wrote them, but it wasn't me, just to clear things up.

Writer’s Tweet: CHECK IT CHARACTER
If you see a show, you’ll understand her real seriousness. She loves singing and dancing, and the moves on this girl who has an interest in AKB48 are perfect. You can really feel her 7~8 years of experience. Her singing, something she had already learned for 2 years prior to joining, had already been verified through the Kagekidan. ** Apparently she also writes lyrics as a hobby. She’s worried that, due to never having worn a skirt, her talent as an idol is near zero, but having girls with various characters is what AKB48 is.

Notes:
* Motsuni is the stewed internal organs of animals like cow, pig, chicken, horse, etc.
** Meaning “Infinity”.

i too was wondering if i should just make out with you on the spot, or wait until a proper 'thanking' method was created.
my desire to swap saliva has since passed, so i'll just use words; bookended with banana gifs.

:dance: thank you! :dance:

Writer’s Tweet: CHECK IT CHARACTER
It’s almost as if this girl was born to be an idol. She wears any outfit perfectly, and she makes any hairstyle her own. As you know, the character she presents is one of being a tsundere, and she’s actually like this. (LOL) She’s still got enough of her childishness left to set up pranks, but she also carries that with a cool, adult face. As she experiences more, I think she’ll carry a power that burns brighter and brighter.

Notes:
* Tsundere, for those not familiar, is like “hot and cold” where you can be totally bitchy but then really sweet.
** Yasai Seikatsu is a specific brand of veggie juice
*** a long Japanese zither with thirteen strings

Nope, I don't mind. I don't do it myself cause I feel generally odd doing that, almost like I'm spamming or something. XD

I'm not going to get to it for a while (I'm trying to go in order), but a HUGE thanks goes out to z(wholebunchanumbers) @ S48 (and here, technically) for scanning the Mayu pages from the Team B book. I'm not saying this because I want you guys to do that (please don't feel obligated to ruin your books!), but that seriously makes it so much easier on me (don't have to hold open the book & type at the same time) and is very much appreciated.

If you could make a law, what would it be?
- Midsummer and midwinter are paid holidays.

Say something to AkiP!
- I'd like to exchange email addresses.

Say something to your team captain!
- You're the first person I ever met who was so wonderful. Please be good to me from now on.

Say something to the management!
- Thank you for supporting AKB48.

Say something to BLT!
- You're the first magazine I read after coming to Tokyo.

Say something to the fans!
- Thank you for believing in me even though I don't know when I'll disappear. Please be good to me from now on.

Comment on the new teams!
- I want to stand out in every way!

What’s your future dream?
- To be a variety idol!

What’s something that AKB has that other idols don’t?
- I don't know much about other idols besides AKB48.

What is the theater to you?
- Somewhere like a soccer court. Somewhere where I can grow. Somewhere where I can appeal myself to everyone.

What are idols to you?
- People who have playing the piano as a hobby and who don’t have to go to the bathroom.

What’s AKB to you?
- A bet. I looked up the definition. “Something take the plunge to do being prepared that you might lose something important if you fail”.

Writer’s Tweet: CHECK IT CHARACTER
The deepest impression I have of her is her “Spirit’s Scream” from last year’s election.♪
She already had 2 years of experience as a kenkyuusei, and her “I’m not running away from the reality anymore” rhyming was too perfect, and I was moved. Just for that hard experience, she got thunderous applause at last year’s Budoukan concert when it was announced that she would become a full member. As for her, she has a strong sense of comedy, and it’s said that during her audition when she was asked what she would like to do at the theater if she passed, she answered “Comic dialogue”. She’s definitely doing something about that. (LOL)

Notes:
* PE, Physical Education, Gym, etc, etc.

eer her first love and her oshimen have the same name...and kobayashi kana is a year older than shiichan isn't she??
:O
So shiichan's into diving? This is pretty awesome news! =D

she's no good at english v.v so I'll have to work hard to write a good letter in japanese to her. I swear all my top girls in groups fail at english.

Thank you so much for this translation, it should help me be able to write a better letter to her! =D ^_^

Writer’s Tweet: CHECK IT CHARACTER
Old Team B had a lot of childlike characters, so she was the type to watch over everyone. And she was loved by everyone. She is normally a quiet character, she doesn't make a racket, and you can certainly feel her Showa***-ness. However, once she steps on the stage, her specialty, high-speed turns, enthralls everyone. Girls with special moves are strong. Even if you don't look over all of her, seeing how she'll transform in her good new position in Team A will be something to watch for.

Notes:
* It's the thing Sado plays with in Majisuka. If you're not familiar, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama
** See: http://en.wikipedia....ki/Kumon_method
*** See: http://en.wikipedia....ki/Shōwa_period

Next time: Mocchi, and a special surprise!
