I have finally finished what I thought I could never do. Yes, I have finally memorized all the members of SKK48, SKE48, and SDN48. And it surprisingly only took me 2 days. If you broke into hours it took me, probably, only 4-5 hours. Which is a lot quicker then I thought it would take. I thought I'd be there for days.
My method for remembering everyone's name was pretty simple. First I broke it down to groups, AKB48, then SKE48, and then SDN48. And because AKB48 is so large I broke it down to teams. I then listed each girl with a picture and then her name. I then went down the list and repeated every girls names. I then went over and over the list until I could remember each girl's name from memory. It's a pretty long and drawn out process, but it works. I used the same technique back in the day to remember Morning Musume's names.
I actually feel really accomplished to finally learn all their names. Well all of them minus Research Students. I don't really feel the need to learn trainees names. I don't really care about a member until they debut. Much like I don't pay attention to Hello!Project Eggs or Johnny's Juniors.
Also when I went through the list I marked down the girls I was interested in. Basically the girls I thought were cute or pretty. Here are my favorite girls so far, if anyone cares. Nakagawa Haruka, Iwasa Misaki, Kuramochi Asuka, Nonaka Misato, Umeda Ayaka, Miyazawa Sae, Masuda Yuka, Ishida Haruka, Watanabe Mayu(of course!), Miyazaki Miho, Kashiwagi Yuki, Hirajima Natsumi, Sato Natsuyaki, Mukaida Munatsu, Kito Momona, Imade Mai, Hanada Ayane, Uchiyama Mikoto, Sato Yukari, Umeda Haruka, Kohara Haruka, and Okochi Misa.
Yeah I know that's a lot of girls. XD But the one girl that was my absolute favorite and struck out the most for me was Kuramochi Asuka. She was incredibly adorable and gorgeous. She might actually rival Mayu for the top spot. But who knows. I'm still know to the fandom. I might find someone with an amazing personality that trumps everyone else.
And also, I was really surprised by how many ugly girls are in AKB48. And I'm sorry to all the AKB48 fans out there, but its true. A majority of them aren't exactly easy on the eyes. But that's expected with a agency so large. H!P and JE hardly has an ugly members because they don't have that many debut artists. Again Eggs and Juniors don't count. Or for that matter I don't even pay attention to older JE artists like SMAP and V6. XD
So this officially makes me 1/4 of the way into the AKB48 fandom. Now all I have to do is learn the music, learn the history of AKB48, and watch AKBINGO/learn about the girls. I'm extremely excited, especially since the hardest part, learning their names, is out of the way. Though because I'm a loser I'll probably repeat the girls names over for about a week or so to make sure I don't forget them.
By the way, to any AKB48 fans reading this, are the new team line ups the official team line ups from now on? I mean are they going to be this permanently or are they going back to the original team line up a few months down the road? And feel free to laugh away at my noobish question.

You know you have inspired me to do the same I been a fan of theirs for awhile now but I really need to learn more about the girls too.
For your question about the team line up. From my knowledge the change up happens once in while. Not every so often because it depends on what Mr. Akimoto thinks is the right time to reshuffle. So the new changes of the teams for now are going to stay for now. Sorry I'm not of much help ^^;
Awesome. I'm glad I inspired you. :] It takes a lot less time than you'd think it would. Though right now it does take me like 5 seconds before I remember each girls name. XD But it probably won't be long before I know them as well as H!P. So good luck on learning about them. :] I hope AKBINGO ends up being interesting. >_<
And thanks for answering my question. Because I wasn't going to bother learing who was in what team if they were just going to change in a month or so. XD
