It looks like HKT are (finally) getting their own Bingo TV show https://twitter.com/hkt48_official_/status/1008984766803132416 https://twitter.com/hktbingo_ntv/status/1008984800139472896 airs every tuesday, 1h29~1h59 on Nippon television Official site : http://www.ntv.co.jp/HKTBINGO/
Wonder if this means we will get an SKEBINGO!, NMBBINGO!, and NGTBINGO! as well in the future (Since we've already gotten STUBINGO!)
SETOBINGO not STUBINGO XD anyway, if we will have other SG bingo then the wait will be long. Only 4 cour in a year and not only 48G bingo, there are also 46G bingo. If everyone want to have their turn... well, 7 groups (SKE, NMB, HKT, NGT, STU, Nogi, Keya)... so if people are expecting another season of SETOBINGO or Keyabingo, well... probably 2020 the earliest. I hope they can find a timeslot somewhere so they don't have to share this timeslot with so many groups. Of course this is assuming all SGs will get their own bingo.
A justice for 4th gen as their outlet of variety show is lacking (If they got fully represented and not just "mid tier" of the pack).
It looks like they start new shows in January, March, July, and October So you are right that to get through 7 groups, the next time one could pop up would be October 2019 or otherwise it would be 2020. And that is assuming that no more 48 groups are added, which isn't a safe bet at all. It seems inevitable that a Hokkaido group will be made eventually as they already have Tohoku (NGT), Kanto (AKB), Chubu (SKE), Kansai (NMB), Chugoku & Shikoku (STU) and Kyushu (HKT) covered, Hokkaido is the only region without a group. As for who the MC should be... How about the same MC as Tonkatsu! Mahou Gakuen, Hakata Hyakkaten1, 2 & 3, HKTvsNGT and shared the job on HKT48 Odekake? HKT48 Goboten and HKT Variety48 were/are the only show HKT48 has had where she wasn't the MC, so why change a formula that obviously works so well? Does anyone think the ratings would improve if they brought in some comedian to be the MC? I really doubt anyone tunes into the shows to see the comedians. I get that it is part of the tradition on these Bingo shows, but-- HKT48 already comes with its own MC as part of its dynamic and it would be weird to see her in any other role.
There will if someone is willing to make them. Funny thing that... the easier and easier it has been to make subs over the last 6 years, the less and less of them we get because there are fewer and fewer people who want to make them.
Ah, it's too bad it's not named "HKTingo!". I definitely agree that Sashi would be the best option for the MC role, although a male comedian (duo) is fine as well. Maybe they could do the classic "who is ging to be the MC prank" in the first episode and in the end Sashi will burst out of some prop while screaming: "Hahahaha, it was me all along, Sashi!"
I'm so glad they're getting a new variety show, even if it'll only be 11-12 episodes. It feels like Odekake ended so long ago and I don't really like the structure of Hokamina so other than Variety48 my HKT variety plate has been empty
And Hokamina already finished several weeks ago and it does not seem that they are going to make new episodes. I am very happy that they have a new program for 3 months.
That's to bad there's only 12 episodes because I thought it might have been a long running one like AKBingo!
