Almost 200k very nice and 3k likes more than dislikes I wish this was uploaded on their main page

 

Perhaps they're gonna wait the official release of the single/album thou they're already uploaded it in their

 

I think it's just for collaboration of the SEA48 group since SCTV is already affiliated in Yeah1 ... I have a feelin' that they're preparing for big concert together with the international sister groups... It's might be change as we notice the MNL48 molds as a group..
In partnership by HHE x Cool japan But later on cool japan drops the sponsorship to HHE..

Another guess that they just have to joint venture to the other int'l sister groups to their Stocks and business growth...

 

Just to point out (again) that HHE is not in a partnership with Cool Japan Fund for MNL48. The last partnership they had was Cool Japan Festival back in 2015.

You know what would be nice ?
To hold a SEA SSK every four years in the even-numbered year between a World SSK (similar to how the World Cup and the UEFA European Championship or to the Winter and Summer Olympic Games) like this we would have a joint event every 2 years.
I think 2 years is long enough to not over saturate fans (& their wallets) and would help turn the SSK into a huge deal outside of Japan even in the eyes of non fan.
There is nothing better than competition against different countries to create buzz and to move money And for those wondering, you don't need to have an event related to sport to get that kind of effect, just look at how well the Eurovision is doing despite all those years (it was created in 1956 and is still being watched by 186 000 000 people around the world, is going to have an Asian adaptation & have Australia participating because of how popular it is there).
The only problem here is "what do we do with the MNL48 SSk" ? Cancelling it is TOTALLY out of question but having 2 SSK the same year would annoy the fans (& their bankers ).
The only solution would be to hold the SEA SSK every 2 years and the WRD SSK every 6 years like this in between we would always have 2 MNL48 SSK. However in my opinion that would be too long because so many things could happen in between, imagine your oshi finally getting enough popularity within the fandom to rank super high in the WRD SSK just to have her graduate or get into a scandal the last few years before
Anyway those are just some thoughts I had but really it would be fun to see this happening

On another note @shinystarx updated their "let's educate people about MNL48" sheet.

 

OMG this would be exciting! I really hope AKS consider this idea haha SEA sousenkyo~ or even awesome is to make an SEA48 and each single MNL48, BNK48, JKT48 and SGO48 have couplings! AHHHH wishful thinking haha

MNL48 can still have elections and let's say the top 7 is our representatives in every election. Ahh this idea made me excited xD haha

 

Thanks for this

To whom should I credit this if I post this on Facebook? Or is this on FB already that I can share from? Thank you.

So I had 1 hour to pass and I tried to translate MNL’s version of SakuHana and Aitakatta (Short version) as accurate as I can. Not 100% exact but I tried xD

Sakura no Hanabiratachi (MNL48 version):

Spoiler

Verse I:
The light from the sun can be seen through the window of the classroom
Spring is almost over
You can see everyone in their uniforms while they’re at class
Looks like they’re ready for the challenges of life
Each of our futures, each one will tread
The wings of our dreams are starting to spread out

Chorus I:
Every time a petal of a cherry blossom sprouts
You will hear the bell of hope around you
Gives us the courage and freedom to choose where to go
Every time a petal of a cherry blossom sprouts
Around, someone’s praying that they can do it (?)
Tests caused from the new world
I’ll open the door that I choose

Verse II:
The fights over the phone ended with crying
Remembering and searching
Experiencing the sadness and happiness together
Never left alone
Smiling at my graduation picture
As time/season change, signals a goodbye/farewell

Chorus II:
Each tear falls spontaneously while climbing the stairs of graduation
While looking up the blue sky, breathing in deeply
Each tear falls spontaneously, the beautiful/wonderful memories soars
As we tread to the new stage of our lives, let us wave our hands together

Chorus I:
Every time a petal of a cherry blossom sprouts
You will hear the bell of hope around you
Gives us the courage and freedom to choose where to go
Every time a petal of a cherry blossom sprouts
Around, someone’s praying that they can do it (?)
Tests caused from the new world
I’ll open the door that I choose

Chorus II:
Each tear falls spontaneously while climbing the stairs of graduation
While looking up the blue sky, breathing in deeply
Each tear falls spontaneously, the beautiful/wonderful memories soars
As we tread to the new stage of our lives, let us wave our hands together

Aitakatta (MNL48 version)

Spoiler

Aitakatta! Wanted to see you! Aitakatta! Yes!
Aitakatta! Wanted to see you! Aitakatta! Yes!
Yeah you!

Like I’m on a bicycle, pedaling
Even if it’s going up, I won’t stop
You’re like a steep hill
Whatever it takes, I’ll reach the peak

I miss you
Excited to see you
Nothing will stop me from being with you
For you, I won’t stop, I’ll run

Whoever it is, as long as I like you
Won’t be shy to her/him, will approach
Whoever it is, as long as I like you
Will approach, will say everything

Because I like you, I won’t give up
Being true (to myself), can’t hide it anymore
Since I like you, I won’t give up
What’s inside my heart, I will show you

Lalalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalalala lalalalalalala
Lalalalala lalalalalalala

Aitakatta! Wanted to see you! Aitakatta! Yes!
Aitakatta! Wanted to see you! Aitakatta! Yes!
Yeah you!

For some reason, I think MNL’s version of Aitakatta’s is a bit off to AKB’s Aitakatta xD

 

It's bound to happen especially if the direct Filipino equivalent of the originals won't match the melodies.

 

Why does my instincts say that on July 23, Japanese Filipino friendship day there will be a 48 event
