    I'm also starting to like her a lot. Whenever I'm looking through the 48G channels on Showroom and I find she's online I just have to stop and watch her. I'm looking forward to seeing her on AKBingo a little later today.

    Short summary.

    It's an expression during the Showa bubble period (which was once a fad among young people) meaning "Surprised" "No way" etc and it's use was revived by the comedian Hirano Nora in her stand up comedy 2016. It's funny cuz no one uses it anymore.

    Taking a look at last year's appeal comment makes me realize that she has improved a lot.

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    Also, do you think we should ask the moderators to change the name of the thread to Ma Chialing\Chia-Ling? Since it's what they use. I haven't seen anyone actually use Jialing in the last year or so.

    And, her appeal video is subbed!

    I am not sure who "they" are. The issue is whether you want to use Pinyin or Wade-Giles for your Romanization. In Pinyin, has initial sound j. In Wade-Giles it is represented by ch (the sound is an unaspirated affricative alveolo-palatal).
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade–Giles

    The wiki uses ch and so does the official website. However, I am not sure this is the place to make requests of the moderators relative to S48. Personally, I like using Pinyin so that the spelling matches between AKB and SNH (and their sister groups). However, given the split, perhaps using a uniform Romanization is not that important.

    They refers to management and Macharin herself, or so it seems. Her nickname in Japanese, まちゃりん, definitely uses "cha" and not "ja".
    As for asking the moderators, it's been done in the past. It's not much of a bother, but since the OP of the thread is still active, we can ask them.
    Personally I prefer to keep things consistent between the wiki and forum, but that's my own personal preference.

    Sorry for suddenly writing, I just wanted to drop here my opinion because I had a similar problem with one of my oshimens (Homma Hinata) about how her name should be written at the thread name and at the wiki. Independent of the rules of romanization (I know nothing about chinese romanization and even now I don't know if it's Beijing or Peking), I think it's always good to follow the official site (http://www.akb48.co.jp/about/members/detail.php?mid=290), it's how we're going to see all her merchandising and other stuffs.
    Thanks.

    Remember, this is about spelling, not pronunciation. じゃ and ちゃ are different sounds in Japanese, but in Chinese, 家 and 嘉 are pronounced the same (for the most part) whether you live in Taiwan or on the Mainland and whether you are using Pinyin (j) or Wade-Giles (ch) for your Romanization.

    In this case, you are looking at a form of "Japanezation," representing Chinese sounds in Japanese. The fun one of course is that Chinese knows the difference between la and ra, li and ri and Japanese doesn't. For example, names like 麻里子 use Mariko when the middle character in Chinese is li, not ri. In this case the name is Japanese and uses Kanji so it is pronounced the Japanese way, but 馬嘉伶 are not Kanji, but Chinese characters, and should be pronounced as close as you can get to Chinese, however you choose to spell it in your language.

    If you put 馬嘉伶 into a Chinese English dictionary that uses Pinyin for the Romanization, you get Majialing.
    https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=1&wdqb=馬嘉伶

    But, yea, why not change it to match the wiki and management.

    P.S. I thought Katakana was used for writing foreign names in Japanese, so why is her name not given in Katakana?
