    If you are refering to Minegishi, I don't see how it's wrong?

    I think the reason for this is so that people wouldn't get many mobame accounts per person, as mobame subscription is cheaper than buying a CD and they still want people to buy CDs. So they require a number to avoid the same person getting several votes like that :)

    Okay, but that doesn't explain why a non-Japanese cell phone number shouldn't work.

    Well, it could be a purely technical thing, but I'm not sure :confused: Or it could be they don't want foreigners to vote too. I'm not an expert on technical stuff.

    Btw, in Japan, 1 person can only have up to 5 active phone numbers at any time (all phone numbers are registered per person here, even pre-paid) so this system makes it really hard to cheat by using several different phone numbers.

    They've fixed it now. In the left kanji the middle part was wrong.

    Yes, I do realize thank you very much.

    And just hold on to your lol bruh, the fact that they added the SKE Mail App to have a vote is actually helping to boost those casual SKE voters who already have the Mail app but never had a vote. (Or those who never got the app but is now more encouraged to do so.)

    This move is obviously not for boosting the votes for H-core people but merely securing the potential DD and casual votes.

    Read above and when did I say it was unfair?

    If you wanna talk about fairness in SSK, let's talk about who has the richest fan base.

    Doesn't matter lol, I'm just trying to say is that the sad truth nothing is fair in SSK as it is only a money game more than a popularity game.

    (Yet I am here campaigning for Hinachan, oh the irony lol ANything for My oShi XD)

    Thanks for highlighting my main point.

    There was a poll in ANN asking which group does the member you will vote for belong to, and I really like the results [hehe]
    1. AKB (by far)
    2. HKT
    3. STU
    4. NGT
    5. NMB
    6. SKE
    7. TPE
    8. BNK

    I was really happy that HKT took 2nd place... and STU 3rd!
    AKB winning is completely natural, since the members in the ANN are all from AKB.
    Go Sakuratan and Hinapiyo!

    It does explain it. Because outside of Japan there are various ways to get basically unlimited numbers for a low cost. There are places where you can just buy stacks of sim cards for very little. Even stuff like Google Voice is free from what I understand, and you get a phone number. Opening it up to outside of Japan would very likely result in abuse.

    Ah, so then I was wrong. I apologize for the recent comment. :worthy:

    Try to apply for an SKE member HS session in chara ani on the day after SSK, it is only a few left.
    Can't apply for Yahagi Yukina because of it :fp:
