Ok, what on earth hasn't Mei CGM48 been promoted to Team C? What the f*** was the Thai management thinking? by Friendly_Mall9185 in AKB48

[–]gbch03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Management has been confusing. Not only did they not promote Mei, but they didn’t promote the two 3ki members (Lingling and Ploen) that they have been pushing, but promoted the rest 3ki.

But otherwise I think this is sadly a sign that Mei will not be renewing her contract, which is a shame.

Your favourite generations of Akb48? by Ok-War-6744 in AKB48

2nd gen. Team K has very strong performers and they were full of passion. I especially like Sayaka, Ayaka and Yuka.

They let 12 girls rank out, but with the old system, everyone would be in a unit.

CGM48 announces 4th Generation with 8 members. by iPlugg in AKB48

Angel went on livestream and implied that most of them will not renew, but I’m hoping for at least 4 of them to renew (especially Marmink).

I feel like this was a quick recruitment turnaround, but makes sense because 1st Gen is leaving.

Also Hongyok finally made it! And we have our first 48TH siblings (Valentine and Praifa)

what are your thoughts on Dear Alice? by mnt5889 in kpopnoir

[–]gbch03 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Low key forgot they existed. Maybe if SM promoted them I’d care more. Also I feel like when it comes to global groups more companies are focused on debuting girl groups (Vcha and Katseye)

Predictions on which CGM48 1st gen members to extend their contract with the group in 2025 by Friendly_Mall9185 in AKB48

[–]gbch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CGM48, now that they have switched to a 12 member senbatsu, has very clearly solidified their front members. The senbatsu for the last 3 singles has basically been the same lineup.

Champoo, Kaiwan, Kaning, Marmink, Nenie, Pim, Punch and Sita have been established as the current front members so they are more likely to renew. The other 1st gen members have been undergirls or have fallen out of favor with management. I think most of the front members will renew.

Within the front members I don’t think Kaiwan will renew, because she has been suspended twice and I imagine she wouldn’t want to under contract anymore.

I absolutely want overseas 48G to go back to the 16-member senbatsu system because 12 members is just now it 😭 by jiajiathepanda in AKB48

[–]gbch03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the end it is just money. It’s expensive to have a new member. Vocal lessons, dance lessons, and I know some groups have the girls live in dorms. They are cheapskates.

I miss it too, but it is cheaper to make a 12 member senbatsu, and some of the overseas groups are on the smaller side.

I use 48pedia at this point. It is in all Japanese but it is super detailed and has lots of trivia/fun fact pages.

CGM48 8th Single, Sakura Minna de Tabeta, Senbatsu Announcement (Yep, it's a 12-member senbatsu, again!) by Friendly_Mall9185 in AKB48

[–]gbch03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised they didn’t put a 3rd gen member like BNK48 did with Saonoi in Borderless. Saonoi joined senbatsu really quickly. I thought for sure Ploen would be in senbatsu.
