I just know their names. From left to right: - Front: Xu ChunLing (許純翎) (17), Zhang YuLing (張羽翎) (12), Qiu PinHan (邱品涵) (15), Chen ShiYa (馬嘉伶) (20), Chen ShiYuan (陳詩媛) (20) - Back: Guo XingYu (國興瑀) (12), Wang Xin (王馨) (21), Yang YiTong (楊宜潼) (14), Lin Jie (林倢) (14)
? correct me if im wrong but they are still being referred to as "Taiwan KKS"? i dont think they are official akb KKS yet
They introduced themselves as AKB48 Taiwan KKS, the same as Ma JiaLing. They haven't been official yet, but I believe they will. At least AKB48 facebook page didn't ignore them.
The streamed Kouhaku said at first that Jialing is the only one who went to Japan, only one person. Then after she appeared she said that she's Team Taiwan's Ma JiaLing. Aww this is still a controversial thing. Glad to heard that her oshimen is Sayanee, I hope you'll be a raising star like her, Jialing.
I saw her on Kouhaku. I think this Format is cool, but is she really alone in Japan?! Poor girl :/ Sent with Taptalk
Ma Chia-Lling is now a member of Team B! (Yes, I know it's in the Wiki, but just in case people don't realize it)
It's too fast to promote her. What about the other 14? No news? AKS let them go like trashes? Oh I expected it before.
More like this girl's the only one who's been officially introduced to the Japanese fans, has had any Japanese media exposure and apparently can perform well enough to become an emergency measure with all these graduations sapping all AKB48G teams. This could also be a trial run and if this girl completely flops the management can adjust their resources accordingly, instead of going all-out with the risk of the entire project falling flat on its face. AKS might not be the best possible production company but not everything is about ensuring maximum fan-disapproval. Just getting girls from outside Japan is a pretty big step to take. Let's not jump to conclusions here.
Ma Chia-Ling is the winner and she becomes the first ryūgakusei of AKB48. But 9 other girls also passed the final selection. They are introduced regularly on AKB48 facebook (like this post). You guys can see who made it here: Link I think they are seeds for TPE48. If Macharin flops, they can send Chen sisters or Pinhan to Japan.

Yes, this is a very smart move not to promote them all at once. The last thing mgmt needs is what happened with the first Draft, where the girls were immediately promoted to teams but didn't have any skills or recognition. It's good to test the waters first.
