MUB48 & DEL48 News and Discussion Thread

No, because they didn't give a clear idea as to what exactly MUM48 was, and most people don't know what AKB48 is anyway.

I'm curious about the audition and training process. Do they air it on TV? It's a great way to gain fans and the producers have the connections to get it done.

 

Rashmi Sharma seems to have many connections within the Indian entertainment industry. Hopefully she utilities them effectively to promote MUM48 more.

 

Labelling MUM48 has a feminists project is a good idea & will help changing the image non Japanese people have of AKB48
Outside of this marketing aspect I really like the idea because I'm all for girls being empowered around the world~

This being said their first song will probably be River, Begginer or Shoujotashi Yo (since those are empowering)

 

I'm seeing a lot of comments like that on YouTube. But who is Shilpa Shinde? Why is she so adored?

 

I recommend Hrithik Roshan as a dancer sensei. This will be a great reason to make a young female teenagers joining this MUM48.

 

She is a TV actress and was a contestant in the latest season of the reality show Big Boss, where you have a bunch of celebrities stay together in a house for a few months, with one contestant being evicted from the house each week on the basis of fan voting. It just ended a few days ago and Shilpa was declared the winner. So that is fresh in the memory of viewers.

I'm pretty sure the producer of MUM48 was waiting for her to come out of the house and invite her to the launch party so that more attention could be drawn to the project.

 

News article in the paper on MUM48:

 

from that article, I'll take it that Rashmi is / will be the manager of MUM48?

 

Yes. She is the founder of the new company Rashmi Raj Media Pvt. Ltd. that was created for this venture and is collaborating with AKB48. She is also a television producer.

 

At work I have access to the electronic version of The Times of India, this seems to be the same article:

 

Thanks for this!

 

Wow this is soooooo great ! I'm happy to see the girls will be under the management of an amazing woman like her ;-;
This got me hyped you all can't even imagine

 

Does this mean there won't be regular auditions instead?

 

What is the official twitter of the group?

I think mumbai48 is the official one. The other has incorrect, machine-translated Hindi and has been inactive since Dec 28.

 

Ok! This has been some small exciting news, yes? Having a female founder? I think I am way behind from all other sister groups, lol.

 

Uh ? All the other sister groups were founded by a man ? Wow that's such a pity :<

 

mum48_official is the official one. The other is a fan twitter account.

 

I don't think it is. Like BadIcecream said, its posts are in grammatically incorrect Google Translated Hindi and is inactive since December 28.

I noticed that the official MUM48 YouTube channel links this twitter account.

So I guess this is the official one?
