[GENERAL] The SKE48 Thread

They have, afterall, the youngest average age in terms of population age . I think the next is Philippines but Philippines leans more to K-pop while Indonesia leans towards J-pop

 

Actually kpop is way more popular in indonesia, at least nowdays, jpop hmm i think its popular in late 90', when japanese band getting popular, like arc en ciel, laruku, etc

 

Yes its true there still alot interest in japanese culture, it just kpop came suddenly and eclipse jpop, but yeah there still alot japan community fans and of course there jkt48 which help interest in idol world

 

I'm not surprised that Jpop/idol are popular in Indonesia. I'm more surprised that many Indonesians fans choose to participate in the English fandom.I do appreciate that many of the sub groups are Indonesian who sub both in English and Indonesian.

SKE only had a measly 5 representatives in the preliminary results.

It's pretty clear that Ryoha and Rara are flops.

 

It just shows that SKE is just not popular anymore (something we basically all know by now) and ssk is an anomaly where SKE's rich fans can get more members to rank. But put it 1-vote per person and you can see more true popularity.

Ryoha is definitely a flop by now, she's never done anything noteworthy and is barely known outside of SKE fandom. Rara isn't a flop yet because she's only been there 1.5 years and is only 16. But seeing the SKE management are the worst in the entire group, I'm sure they'll find a way to screw this up too.

 

Nothing to surprise, without the "ability to powervote", SKE is pretty weak.
And about Ryouka and Rara being flops, that's was given since they start pushing Rara, the SKE wotas would not accept anyone who are push by the management anymore.

 

Setting management screw-ups and failed push aside, The true surprise is that no Souda name in the list.
Flop? Definitely not. But it give us clues.

 

Dun usually follow SKE but I remembered they were great at some point. Guess the graduation of the senpais did hurt them a lot, followed by a lot of netizens mentioning about SKE's management.

If so, that will be sad. SKE have lots of good potentials too. All the unpolished diamonds untapped .

 

I hear alot of people mentioning SKE has poor management. What exactly do they mean? Besides mass graduation, I don't know what their management did bad.

 

Well, the sense of eternal crisis IS a trademark of SKE fandom Even if sometimes the proverbial horse is resurected too much for my liking.

Anw, Souda will fare just fine. She's an SKE top handshake seller, hs reports say that her lines are one of the most crowded, which means large fanbase and not only rich, so she will be fine.

Out of the people that can actually have a shot (base on SSK), Sakipon has the longest jump. Sudden high ranks are usually because of rich wota and not large fanbase. Ego-chan has been subtly pushed for much longer so she may have a large enough fanbase. Harutamu stands some chance too, she's 49 at the last SSK and her HS is still consistent. Masanya and Kaotan ... they got quite a niche fanbase so I'm not sure, but like Keicchi and Shiichan they have more recognition than younger girls. Though I prefer younger members to get in, a spot is a spot nonetheless.

In the end, SKE is never prelim queen (save for the highest ranks), so we can still hope. If fan can organize themselves and choose the right person to push it is.

p/s: For a wild wish I want Non to get in. Girl is growing in to a fine young lady, good perf, nice enough HS, staple presense, her dropping SSK ranks just puzzle me.

 

I think by the time NGT debuts, SKE would probably be done for.

 

There's nothing wrong with discussing which group is the least popular. People trying to make it sound like we are trying to bash on SKE. Not at all, we are just trying discuss the issues and situation because we want them to do better. In perspective even a under performing 48 group is still doing 10 times better than most of the idol groups out there.

 

No. Fuwafuwa is definitely more popular than SKE now, and they have younger, fresher members. I wouldn't even be surprised if Super Girls started appearing in Music Station.

SKE was not selected at this year's CDTV's year end countdown. I was reading some "disband" comments.

AKS should surrender SKE to another agency.

 

^You don't think they will do that wholeheartedly, would you?

Oh well, another history of shame and another day of SKE mismanagement.
At least they still doing 10 times better than most of idol group, maybe 9 now.
