[GENERAL] THE NMB48 thread!

Already answered. I put "Takei Sara" on the prettiest member of 2016 and my answer for the biggest worry for 48 Group is "being overtaken by Idol Street".

 

While I'm critical of the kennin system, I'm so thankful for Churi and the time she spent with BII. She didn't have to care about BII while she was here and she certainly doesn't have to indebt herself to BII now that she's gone with all she has with SKE and sometimes AKB, but she does anyway and it's an incredible gesture that she continued to make BII a part of her life.

As someone who's loved every step of this BII's journey, Churi is as important as anybody on the team, I only wish it could have been a longer engagement.

 

New NMB48 Teams First Day Theater performances announced

 

N is probably gonna go on with Koko ni Datte.

That, or it'll go to M or BII, but someone is performing it for sure.

 

I want to see Team M doing RKJ and Team BII doing Te wo Tsunaginagara.

 

I think they will do a completely new stage, by that I mean new setlist of already existing songs

 

Yah, kinda like SKE's new stages, which I prefer over a 10th revival of a stage that came out 8 years ago.

 

A series of graduations from NMB was mentioned in this idol year-ender list from NTV News 24.

looks like NMB switched agencies from Yoshimoto to Showtitle (a subsidiary of Yoshimoto)!
at least it looks like that, because NMB disappeared from Yoshimoto's site and appeared at Showtitle's site

Update (I've mixed up Yoshimoto Kougyou and Kyoraku Yoshimoto Holdings)
the shareholders of "Kyoraku Yoshimoto Holdings" are Kyoraku Sangyo (80%) and Yoshimoto Kougyou (20%)
so instead of Yoshimoto -> Showtitle it looks like Kyoraku Sangyo is pulling out from NMB, so now instead of "Kyoraku Yoshimoto Holdings" they are fully under Yoshimoto Kougyou's subsidiary Showtitle.

some commentator described it like that

distribution of NMB's profits

now：Kyoraku Sangyo（80%）Yoshimoto Kougyou（20%）
from now on：Yoshimoto Kougyou（100%）

 

So switch to showtittle is good or no ?

 

So everything will be still same as before ?

 

Looks like that. The change was basically on shareholder level and not directly impacting executive board.

Thought I wonder why it's the 80% one that backed out...

There is speculation that this will motivate Yoshimoto to put more energy into promotion NMB since they are now 100% (outside of Akimoto's royalties) under the Yoshimoto umbrella. This might mean more appearances for NMB on Yoshimoto shows.

I remember Riripon saying that on her appearance on Sanma's show, she made the mistake of saying her agency was Yoshimoto and not Kyoraku Yoshimoto and got an earful about it. It also led to that segment of the show (which she said was really funny) to get cut from broadcast.

Classic NMB talk segment from last week's ANN.

 

JKT48's Veranda name her undergraduate thesis after Seishun no Lap Time



I hope no JKT48 fans think that Seishun no Lap Time is JKT48 song.

 

Did they promote some of the girls? because Shimizu Rika has just changed her Blog title from "NMB48 Kenkyuusei Shimizu Rika" to "Team BII Shimizu Rika".

 

They moved the KKS to specific teams, but only Aayan, Yuki-chan, and Momone were actually promoted.
