    Tch. Okay, I read through that Reddit thread. You can't make them like it, might as well be arguing with a brick wall.

    I can only imagine them in full costume soon. :)

    I wonder how harsh is AKS :^^;:

    In this episode, they are already members, right? And it's just the chorus. The ones MNL used to introduce their Top 200 is waaaay longer. But then again, restrictions exist and we don't know how AKS works hahaha (unless u do, please do share)

    The rules may be similar, but not the same. The Philippines has its own copyright law while being a signatory to most international copyright treaties.

    Also, it doesn't depend on the harshness of the music label or agency, but on the terms of the licensing agreement.

    HHE has the license to use AKB48 material, but such licenses usually come with terms that govern the material's use as indicated by the licensor (AKS).

    If AKS indicated that the songs cannot be used outside of official MNL48 events produced by HHE, then either HHE can re-negotiate the terms or just keep to it. ABS-CBN, on the other hand, may choose to enter a separate agreement (without prejudice to the license granted to HHE) but didn't - or couldn't - for some reason. Again it's not just about royalties because I doubt anyone here questions the ability of one of the Philippines' richest companies to pay.

    We also don't know how future MNL48 singles (which are basically localized AKB48 songs) figure into this license, but I don't think we should worry about that for now.

    Reading B2G now; yes, it does appear that ABS is taking a few pages from the wrestling promotion playbook.

    And, holy.... Ash is a ringer for Yuri Tani.

    Are 5000+ votes enough to rank at least 100 in a world senbatsu?

    Nope. Number 100 last year had more than 10,000 votes and the votes required to get in increase slightly each year (at least that's the trend). Maybe 12,000 to be certain but we'll see the numbers for this year's ssk.

    Just want to comment that so far the group seems like its own thing and is 48 group in name only. Also, not sure this Eunice girl would be a good/traditional center type as she kinda looks big and old. A smaller girl would create a more balanced look for the group. But then I don't really know where this group is headed probably because of the abs-cbn tie-up -- is it mass appeal group, 48 group, or mix? (sometimes you get a good mix and sometimes you get a bad one).

    mnl48 audition system might be similar to pd48 once it launch or it might even be better since they now have a little idea what would be the lapses and addition to add on a show. And generally it appeals to masses.

    For j enthusiast,wotas,weab or anyone that have knowledge about akb things some of them really doesnt want Eunice to be center but the masses wants her because of her flawless talent and performance(they only see her as the only good one while the rest are not).
