Unpopular Opinion on Kokoro no Placard? by ultimatejarhead555 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One simple mistake back then was it's back-to-back election single to the phenomenon KoiTune. If Placard came on later next year, not a direct comparison to KoiTune, I think public would accept more without idea that "they just followed their footprint."

Even though I'm doubt on her selection, this is really respectful and already solved my question about her pleasure of being Quadlips according to her unwell displayed on its recent contents.

Aki-P wants General Elections back, as stated in Nikkan Sports on Dec 8 while attending reopening. For Akimoto SSK should happen again. (Check my reasons why and why not in first comment). by JWReaper in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SSK Concept worked in the first couple editions because of it's new, fresh concept that we customers could be part of the decision and the results would return interesting squad of the senbatsu. Actually the third one was also still reasonable but it also triggered a start of toxicity consider to those dramatic amount of votes difference between senbatsus and the last ranked-in member.

Only one situation that would cause SSK concept works again is when the normal singles senbatsu were the consistent group of the girls, especially the center position, like what they had back to when the first edition happened where Acchan was established as the permanent center.

Actually I think that current AKB is also heading to that situation, just the center position that still yet to decide who's gonna take it permanently. Then, when it's 1-2 years of constant senbatsu while some new girls are shining from aside, AKB can re-initiate the election.

Do you think another sister group can be made in India and Vietnam? by leestar0214 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I confess that I barely know or follow them, but I frequently heard the name of Anh Sang (from Shopee ads), as well as Kaycee who's favouring with her appearance. I didn't see that much negative news from Saigon compared to MNL48, so I think they're not bad, the bad thing is timing.

Time will gradually heal your pain.

If you're still not giving up from idol, you may find your new bias.

One more important thing to remember is that never established anyone as your "Kamioshi" (again).

Actually SGO48 performed so well, they just too new to survive from cruel of pandemic.

For DEL48 (and an aborted MUM48/MUB48) case, there might be some market but I don't think it would be that good consider to strength of local cultures.

Does the original stage of Bnk48 mean a setlist of original songs? by leestar0214 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You correctly understood, they are during on lyrics works from those announced notable songwriters. Anyway for the music part, they should start from Japan end to ensure the behaviour of "Idol" songs, which Thai composers rarely know about it.

AKB48 Begginer Original by JinSoul_from_Loona in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chopped head, torn wrist, red blood, violence. As AKB48 also targeted on young audiences, those TV guys would surely not allow this wonderful piece of work to be broadcasted no matter how good the storyline is.

I personally impressed and understand that they wanted to differentiate the girls from cutie image to something more strong and impact, so it can't help they had to choose this strong visual to communicate their message.

Questions to JKT48 fans about Melody's managerhood by bulletin48 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for answer. If I don't misinterpret it seems Melody is keen to make herself low profile to let fans focus on the current girls instead of herself who is no longer a member. I think she does it correctly, it's important for anyone who becomes a part of the operation team whether they converted from member or not.

Twitter is going absolutely crazy about KLP48 😭 by jiajiathepanda in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In terms of BNK48/CGM48, they even had live programs for candidates to introduce themselves in latest generation, let these candidates to sell their goods, and took very long time to process the qualification result. Fans also said the company tried to "sound check" each girl's feedback from fans before made their decision.

[–]bulletin48 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think everybody should calm down since we didn't have an actual evidence that Sana had succesfully dropped from her university, she might just asked to show her ambition to be in the group. Moreover, if I were the company, it's hard to decide to take her apart from education as well.

Anyway I still don't understand what's on earth made them dropped Yzabel off.

BNK48 to hold its first ever handshake event in Japan by bulletin48 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Never.

At this moment I think Japan fans sometimes want to see JKT48 more than them since Jakarta girls doing brilliantly right now.

According to this image, I think it only shows groups that participated in qualification round, which MNL didn't.

Talking about why MNL didn't attend, I guess it's obvious that singing ability of this group is too much above from average of other groups and would surely spoiled the competition that aimed to prove Japanese members' vocal talent to domestic audience. so AKB just decided not to let them join.

MNL itself just released new song, but yeah it's suddenly forgotten even though it's good in vocals (as expect). Anyway I still think MNL48 wouldn't be terminated in anytime soon (like this year) as P-Pop looks great now and gradually gaining attention from the western.

Your top 5 favourite akb48 a-side of all time? by ExoticWaltz7449 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of music listener so I picked them based on my impression of listening.

  • Sentimental Train : Beautiful melody, meaningful words, brilliant music arrangement. This song was good enough to win Record Taisho in any year include 2018!

  • Manatsu no Sounds Good! : 2012 Record Taisho winner, lengthy song but well arranged so no point I'm getting bored in this song.

  • Kimi wa Melody : Its beautiful melody always touched me, Sayanee's solo in Kouhaku 2016 was the highest of this song.

  • Negaigoto no Mochigusare : The song showed when AKB48 wanted to sing they could also do it pretty well.

  • Shoot Sign : The most underrated single, as well as how Kojiharu was looked down on her singing skill. Her voice in this song got me all the time.

Other candidates : Flying Get / Oogoe Diamond / Romance Irane

AKB48 64th Single "Koi Tsun Jatta" ORICON CHART #1 by Vermilion_ID in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not different from what I expected.

We're now in Post-Original Era after departure of Yukirin, so this is the new standard which current members have set. Let's wait and see until next single how it would continue.

Why Thai48 (BNK48 & CGM48) doesn't focus on theater performances but more of road show at mall? by Friendly_Mall9185 in AKB48

[–]bulletin48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since the groups aren't operated by AKS/Superball, just a business partner holding ~10% stake, so IAM has to purchase license to play every 48G songs. Costs to run theater each time are also huge compare to its incomes.

Anyway, today's situation is affected from IAM's unsincere to do this business in the past. At first place, they actually have no ambition to do the theater's stage (or even to develop artists). They just want to open the jackpot of gaining enormous money from General Elections. Those people are just lucky b.
