    thanks for sharing I'm glad I could keep running, quite enjoyed it. Iori did well, controlled her voice very well, definitely not her usual voice but enough to sound familiar. At the end when the character voiced the Captain, that voice really sounded like Iori!! it reminds me a bit of the Saber from Fate/Stay Night

    can you elaborate a bit more about how that relationship with the sister group will be like. I am not super familiar with how the idol world works in Japan so I'm not too sure how things worked with the Keyakis

    It is like how you described? with the switching in and out of members between groups?

    ^ the question was "Are images of the groups will be like Nogi and Keyaki?" (probably meaning different independent groups with almost no connection between them) and Sasshi answered that it's going to be more like kanji and hiragana Keyaki (probably meaning that they will be more tightly-knit).
    I don't follow 46 groups that closely, so I'm not sure, but that's the image I got from her words.

    Sasshi will be TIF's chairman next year as well, so this probably means that both =groups will perform on it.

    For the record (I'm sorry, I forgot who asked) but I pre-ordered Want You Want You and didn't receive a poster this time either (I got one for Teokure Caution).

    As for Kanji and Hiragana Keyaki, I thought they're just different generations but named specially and have more distinct roles than in Nogi and the current Generations (sort of like Original Team A, Team K and Team B). They generally have less members and are tighter than the 48G members, also because they don't graduate as much. Put together, Nogi and Keya have been around since 2011 and 22 members have graduated. In comparison to that, in the past seven years 308 members graduated from the 48G (almost three times as many members as the 46G has ever even had). 133 members graduated in the first seven years of the 48G if you think comparing 2011-2018 isn't a good measurement (a total of 387 48G members have graduated since 2005, if you wanna compare the entire lifespan).

    That being said, I guess Kanji and Hiragana Keyaki can be considered like the Original Teams except a bit more distinct? As far as I can tell by looking at Keyaki's discography, Hiragana members only seem to appear on B-sides.

    Hiraganas only have b-sides and that can be annoying. Kanji are more promoted than Hiraganas. They're the main group. Kanji go on Music Station and Hiragana don't. But things are getting better. Their own TV Show and 1st album.
    We can only wait to see how Sasshi will handle the new girls. New singles with less b-sides from =LOVE ?

    Thanks for replying, I was the one that asked, glad to know, suspect maybe there were just no posters this time round. I realises sales were better this time but I preordered this one whereas for Teokure I actually waited until release
    could I ask how your track record for the bonus photo in the CD cases were like? who did you get?


    In regards to sister group issue, I guess jsut gonna have to see how things pan out at this point, not like we're gonna change much I guess. As long as Iori is not compromised :inlove:

    I didn't get a photocard (if that's what you mean?) at all. I ordered the Regular Edition cause I try to have all the songs, I assume they dont come with anything becaise they're cheaper as well. I ordered AKB's Sentimental Train and NGT's Sekai no Hito e and Okada Nana's photobook alongside Want You Want You, so the cards I got were Okada Nana (in the PB), Matsuoka Natsumi (Sentimental Train), Miharu Nara (Sekai no Hito e) and two pre-order bonuses (a group photo of NGT and a twoshot of Ogino Yuka and Homma Hinata from NGT).
