    No, but got territory block, can only watch in Thailand. No clarification given. Fans speculate it is a request from AKS, AKS plans to limit BNK's popularity to Thailand only.

    BNK economics
    (by a professor of Faculty of Economy Development, NIDA)

    Due to the change of technology and music listening behavior, many music labels face deficit or closure, many have reached out to other media.

    An interesting adjustment is BNK48, which is a girl group in the franchise system of AKB48 from Japan. Its business model and income channels are distinct from those of other conventional singers, shifting from music sale to merchandise sale (such as photograph set), holding handshake event, offering various channels to follow the group's activities after the concept "Idol you can meet".

    For the number, BNK48 has as many as 28 members divided into 16 first-lineup members and 12 substitution members. (Meanwhile, AKB48 has over 100 members). This is a strategy to drive members to improve themselves up to first lineup.

    Hire contract is not binding. A member can leave the group for another career or higher education and, this is called "graduation".

    The group may be analyzed econimically over its pros and cons as following

    Adverse selection problem
    Initially, the music label has to face adverse selection problem debuting a singer. It has to spend money and time without knowing if the singer will cause profit or deficit. Later, survival show system was introduced to relieve adverse selection problem. The winner won popular vote thus, he had higher profitable tendency. Meanwhile, BNK48's recruiting system is opened to any aspirants to apply and try thus, the polishing cost is lowered. Also, it is easy to change the member line-up. The risk from adverse selection problem is minimized.

    Employment relations and promotion
    The unbinding contract and first line-up vs. substitute system are incentives to drive each singer to push herself up to first line-up position. The productivity is increased to the maximum. However, the system is prone to conflict between members as it creates competition within the group. The system encourages both alliance and hostility. Although, the agency can easily replace the member, the fondness from the fan to the singer takes time and is delicate.

    Franchise system
    Despite many benefits, the franchisee or RAM has no independance, can only be the assistant of this idol marketing promotion. RAM cannot release new song, create new image nor any new innovation for its girl group. The biggest challenge to this idol franchise maintenance is emotion management over fans as they are the main source of income. They may stop supporting the group due to disappointment. On the other hand, in conventional singer management system, the agency can freely offer new alternatives and models to its singers.

    Idol's product bubble
    The price of autographed photographs rising up to 5 digits (THB), multiple CD copies bought only for the ticket to handshake event, these lead to price inflation of the group's products. The price which has exceeded its actual value is similar to the premise to real estate bubble. The market may be saturated soon and fans may not pay for the same high price. If the investor makes less profit, he will buy less units of products and the value of the group will decrease altogether.

    Due to above econimic rationing, the sustainability of this business model is highly challenging. I guess the executive of RAM also have been aware that the business unlikely will be sustainable like AKB48 in Japan since he said he wished to make quickest profit.

    What do you mean of next song. If for the 3rd single, there is "Anata to Christmas Eve" that already came out and high chance of Thai version of "River" gonna come out next.
    Shonichi and other song in 3rd single most likely to come out at "Starto" Concert

    And there's really no chance for original song for BNK48. But Aeh(Music Producer of BNK48) go solo as AehSyndrome and let BNK48 tag along in his MV of debut single.
    Seem like the attempt to prove AKS to let them make original song for BNK48.

    ^I mean all 48G sing songs of others sister groups but also get song original for them. I hope the same for BNK48. Aki-p could write the song in Japanese and simply have it translated. It's not hard to do.
