    I do notice some female fans *kinda* complaining when they see the girls in bikinis but I think alot of them realize that it comes with the territory.

    ^No matter what bullshit the wadever rights group say/ mention .... in this industry or any other industry ,,,,, there is a freaking 5000 yrs old traditional rule for business....

    sex sells

    be it in a healthy or unhealthy way

    I personally don't find anything wrong with them in bikini. In fact, it boost their confidence or let us see the other side of their usual strong front chara [hehe]

    I'm curious too, given that Reichan's current path to popularity is flirty handshakes and gravure, at a much rapid rate than we're used to with new gens.

    There's actually a report (unconfirmed) that says AKB has decided that middle schoolers (like Rei) even if they are 16, are not allowed to do bikini gravure anymore.

    Is the the thing that said that AKB's not going to do gravure because they don't want to look like they're supporting child porn before the Olympics?

    I find that funny for many reasons. Like, gravure is okay until someone else sees you enjoying it lol

    Basically, anything that they do in Japan now is "in preparation for Tokyo 2020" so I wouldn't be surprised but yeah, lotsa talk about Japan wanting to clean up so they can show off to the world for the Olympics.

    So I got to thinking, who do we think will take over Fuuchan's work when she leaves. Well to be more specific, TEPPEN radio since thats her only regular right now after the Kawaiian show ended (I think).

    Both radio regulars (Monster Engine and TEPPEN) are only given to top members so probably no dreams of 5th gen or NaruMoka here. My guess is that TEPPEN will be taken over by one of:

    1. Jo
    2. Yuuri
    3. Miru

    Jo, because she can talk the best of all 3 i just listed here and she's the golden girl of management right now. Plus, the passing of the host chair from Fuuchan to Jo will be a good episode I think.
    Yuuri is the only top-top member without a TV/Radio regular and pairing her with Akarin for TEPPEN would make TEPPEN the Joshiryoku radio show but Yuuri hasn't really shown much interest in speaking jobs and maybe they think there's too much crossover between Akarin and Yuuri's fandoms.
    Miru is because she's the top girl now and the radio stuff used to be occupied by Sayaka and Milky respectively so it would make sense that she gets a show of her own.

    While typing this I just got a great idea for a host and while she's not a top girl, I feel like she can speak the best and would make a really interesting host. So my darkhorse for this is Maokyun.

    You also left out Aayan

    The Kobe radio show is super minor so it wouldn't affect her getting TEPPEN if ever. Aayan is unlikely because they sometimes have weird recording times which occasionally goes over 10 PM.

    Aren't all these radio shows minor anyway?
    Can't count it out though, they've had Yuuri and Kinoshita Haruna on as guests when they were 15 back in 2014, I'm sure if they tried hard enough they could make it work

    TEPPEN and NMB Gakuen are on "big" AM stations that cover quite a bit of the Kansai area. They also have a good timeslot for radio listening (near midnight). In contrast, Jo's current show is a Kobe-local FM show and it has really bad coverage as well as being in a weird timeslot (Sundays 5PM)

    During the Special New Year show, Cameron came out and announced a special performance by the theater senbatsu in NMB. Basically, its the 16 (actually 19) girls who performed in the theater the most in 2017.

    They performed the NMB Anthem (you know the one) and the positions are exactly their ranks in number of appearances.

    16 Uemura
    15 Umeyama
    14 Hongo, Yamao
    12 Mizokawa
    11 Shimizu
    10 Ishida, Nakagawa, Morita
    7 Iso
    6 Jonishi
    5 Yasuda
    4 Ando
    3 Yamada
    2 Iwata
    1 Kojima

    I really like this concept, it underlines how important the theater is and gives the girls who work hard in the theater a sense of accomplishment.

    Also, big shout out to the non-Cattleya members who made it into this list since they are handicapped by not having the Cattleya group to inflate their totals.

    That's actually a really nice idea! I'm really happy they did that

    In case anyone is interested, the NMB playing cards came out. If you're not familiar with them, its literally playing cards with NMB members' faces on them. The fun part is that playing cards have numbers and suits and they can be ranked from 1-52.

    So voila:
    To read it, go Ace -> 2 horizontally with the suits ranking being Spades -> Hearts -> Diamonds - Clubs

    Better illustrated in the below pictures:
    Also note that the ranking this year is complicated by the fact that they created a pun for Kokochan and Cocona by setting them both up in 3 cards each, 556 and 557 respectively which is a phonetic pun in Japanese on their names. This makes it hard to figure out their ranks especially as it is generally accepted that the both of them are Senbatsu border (they were actually the 2 chosen to sub in during a performance when FuuSae couldn't make it)

    The Tokyo MX Drama "Futari Monologue" will feature Sayaka's "Lets Go Crazy" as its theme.

    EDIT: Apparently it was a web-only drama that is now getting a terrestial TV run.

    Wait, really SIXTEEN girls?! Fans must have been really greedy, lol. I think I will pass for few months before learning them: let them sink in, deepen connections.
