Does aki-p understand what 'too much' mean?

 

it's all about the money

 

If they are able or currently in the process of (but just not announced yet) of letting international sister group to have original songs of their own, no complaints from me. 48G really need to up the game in their musical repertoire. Set up a company (?) / organization who manages all the 48G single / album releases, yeah, like SNH48's STAR48, employ loads of lyricists/song arrangers/whatever, make it as a project with a target and a deadline, get 'em original stages for the japanese groups and original singles for the international groups. I've said similar things when MUM48 was announced though.

While BNK48 luckily got popular in Thailand with KFC, but if they don't keep being proactive and keep engaging the fans and attract new fans, they will go stale like JKT48. AKS seems to have quite a relation/influence/grip with BNK48 and TPE48, but JKT48 and MNL48 seemed to be left to do their own thing without much support. Can't say the international franchises are doing great and one that did great broke off from the group.

So, imo, 48G as a whole need to up their managing and its scope so to create an environment that'd encourage them sister groups to develop their unique identity with various engaging and interesting activities and releases and open up an organization of their own that churns out song for all sister groups with both appropriate quality and quantity.

That would be an ideal situation imo.

 

The oversea groups target on their local markets, which are huge and have no overlapping. Hence, I do not see any problem when creating a new oversea group. Just do not mix the groups together (e.g. World SSK) regularly. Only new Japanese groups saturate the fandom.

Whenever AKS announces overseas sister groups they usually do it in groups of 3. #Who'sNext?

 

Laos? Cambodia? Myanmar? Singapore?

 

SGO and SGP

 

SIN48

 

So basically the Yukirin-produced stage members. Or AKB Team Fresh.

 

+ Honda Sora

Yes, with Zukkii instead of Kurosu Haruka (and Sato Shiori instead of Naamin, who was also originally supposed to be there).

 

Thanks, member list updated in the original post.

 

On Saturday in Ibaraki, and there are Kyoka Sora and Zukki? Count me in thanks for the info.

And... it's met with criticism. People were asking where is Aina The End, Fujikawa Chiai, Ogawa Maina or Noguchi Iori.

Only 3 members from 48g, Oda Erina, Takeuchi Miyu, and Yamamoto Sayaka(ranked 3rd). But they spelled NMB as NKB.

 

Nakba48

 

They forgot Naachan I can understand Sayanee and Miyu might be higher but it's weird to include Oda Erina but not Naachan (I might be biased, but I think Naachan is a better singer than Oda Erina).

 

Yeah, but it's not her sole claim to fame.
