    But, what may they gain from Fromis? The group is mid-tier, aren't gonna making bank. These girls already got good exposure and a level of popularity in Japan. And, since the idea was they joining only Japanese activities, their presence won't be acknowledged by non-Japanese fans 'coz the Japanese' copyright exercise. Fromis doesn't seem to be much of a boost for their careers.

    What if additional members are less popular 48 girls? How big of helps can they be to the group?

    You brought up about it was Saho's streaming, the in-my-face detail I was oblivious to. Could it be a special meaning to this? Someone at AKS office told Gyuri to invade Saho's streaming I guess. Gyuri aware Saho was streaming and she thought Showroom was similar to V Live. The voice of IZ*One or Fromis might be heard in V Live videos of the other but they never barged in unless invited. Also, Saho seemingly was shocked but not panic to Gyuri sudden appearance in her streaming. 48 girls couldn't let non 48/non AKS person, unless their family members, present in their streaming, right? So, Saho should be panic as Gyuri should not seen with her, right? So, she was already aware Fromis related to AKS, huh?

    It's not as if there was never any 1 shot collaboration with another idol group in the past, so why not ?

    In case some wonder how to play this game, I found this:

    Who was the longest serving Kenkyuusei? I remember it being just more than 3 years but I don't remember who the member was. Honma Mai will be approaching the 3 year mark soon. Wanted to know when she breaks the record.

    It's over five years if you include sister groups. From the wiki:

    Matsumura Kaori

    Joined SKE48 as a Kenkyuusei on November, 2009. She decided to remain a Kenkyuusei as a "Lifetime Honorary Kenkyuusei" from April 13, 2013 (SKE48 Team Shuffle) to March 26, 2015, when she was promoted.

    Kaotan being a kks was kind of a long running joke though. For the legit longest kks I'd say it could be NMB 2nd gens like Nishizawa Rurina or Uno Mizuki who were kks for almost 4 years.

    Ex-SKE's Inuzuka Asana should be slightly longer than these two (Sep. 30, 2010 - Aug. 4, 2014 vs May 11, 2011 - Feb 4, 2015). Afaik she was always number two after Kaotan

    Was there a particular reason for her long tenure as a KKS? Not enough graduations in SKE? Not enough experience?

    Her choice. Again, the wiki.

    "She decided to remain a Kenkyuusei until she was promoted on March 26, 2015"

    It is a long established theater in Fukuoka, and this year it celebrate it's 20th year
    https://www.hakataza.co.jp/

    The above project is a follow up of the « Jinginaki tatakai ~ Onnatachi no shito hen ~ » stage play which was talked mid august

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    From the official site:
    https://www.hakataza.co.jp/lineup/201911/akb48/index.php

    Review 48 レヴュー48 (or Revue 48 if you want to put it in french)
    It is a new produced stage, but not the usual xxx produced stage we are used to see at the AKB theater
    In short, it looks like it is going to be be like a cabaret show (think Lido, Moulin Rouge, Folies Bergères), with giant feathers and fluffy stuff, girls flying ?, extra male dancers ? (but without topless dancers).
    Usually these high production shows are live singing, and follow a general theme.

    I've just been watching the first episode of a 2-part BBC TV documentary on Japan presented by a British comedian called Sue Perkins. It was a fairly standard western TV view of the country and it included a section on idol groups and their otakus including a visit to a concert and HS event by a small group called Cawaful Tornado. Before that there was a visit to an idol cafe which had a video wall on which a 'group' were performing. The screenshots from that scene which I've just made from the iPlayer catch-up service show some familiar faces... ;)

    Too be honest, I like Sue Perkins ... and I think I might try to watch it
    here's an article about the program, which is rather well balanced imho

    https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...s-review-cute-candid-and-heavy-on-the-cliches
    quote on the idol performance: 'It is a “maddening, brilliant” experience – not seedy, as she imagined'


    there was a similar travel program with Joanna Lumley a few years back, she wasn't really dismissive of idol culture (at all)
    and last year we had a program like that with a Dutch female comedian over here called Tokidoki (sometimes) ... which was quite good, as that presenter actually speaks Japanese and has lived in Japan... but still, the focus tends to be on the strange and weird things, because, well, Japan has those in abundance of course as well ...


    edit: watching part of it now, I absolutely hate it when they cut images of disparate locations together, so ... a shot of Akihabara, followed by a shot of Shibuya ... then the Robot Cafe at Shinjuku .. as if all those locations are in walking distance of each other ...

    not just an idol cafe ... it's the actual AKB Cafe (segment is 2 seconds after the harajuku segment .. :/)

    well, watched the idol performance segment... her jokes are kinda predictable and weak ... but in the end her conclusion was much more positive then expected ... she had the normal preconception that idol fans are pervy old geeky man ... but she realised it's more about loyalty and supporting your idol, and she enjoyed herself.
    that was kinda good .... but still ... overall ... pretty shallow, predictable and did not do the research ... but .. open to changing her mind, that's a plus

    just as a bonus, the ultimate trailblazer in celebrity travel programs, Michael Palin arriving in Tokyo

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    it's just plain wierd how long ago this is, Shinkansen series 0 .... and nowadays everyone knows what sushi is :)
