I'm, referring to AKB48's KojiMako. Mako was never blonde and I didn't see her at all in the clip, so it might possibly be some other Mako .

mako isn't part of this the jyp trainee is

 

[Some]

Like all the girls who passed so far especially akari . Felt sorry for the girls who were former idols especially tanigawa i hope she somehow makes it

 

[itzy]

They still have yet to show the auditions from LA and Hawaii so I’m pretty sure they’ll split the next episode into auditions then the training camp. Also Hina seems to have been accepted because she was in the episode 3 teaser!

Hello Nizi Project watchers! I've just updated the OP for Nizi Project! I've also linked various sites to watch Episode 1 & 2 RAW on the 2nd OP post, unfortunately there is so subs at this moment.


So far, Nizi Project Season 1 is so exciting!! There are many charming individuals with star potential. I hope to see more of the individuals who weren't introduced yet in the next episodes.

Mako did pass! There's a brief moment where you see her with the necklace on in the beginning of the first episode.

OMG you're totally right! I'm so glad she made it! I'm sure we were all worried when we didn't see her blonde at on the preview.

If anyone is interested, it's @3:24

So do we know how the show’s doing in Japan? Like the ratings, is it being talked about or something... I know Rima went viral on Japanese twitter tho.

Looking around the internet to see if Mako passed or not. Looks like she's passed afterall. Weird tbh because the other 2 JYPE trainee is always rely on Mako.
Outside the stand out like Nina and JYPE trainees, Ayane has unique charm and great aura when she's performing. Is next episode is on April?

 

[wobblepenguin]

tbh i thought there would been more famous current or ex member of some japanese idol group would join.

They would be too old or bound under contract also their training would have caused habits, unlike amateurs or Japanese trainees that haven't become part of the Japanese Idol institute

 

[itzy]

I wonder if the girls will perform at the upcoming JYP trainee showcase? It's being held on the 27th this month. Maybe if they do they'll film it and include it in the second season of the show?

I mean the age range for the audition was 15 - 22 (given Nina and Akari's participation we can assume the age range was more for the age you'll be upon debut in late 2020) which could include up to late '97 line and just based on what I saw on p48 idol group there are quite a few senior members ready to graduate around that age

 

[itzy]

Do any of you have any favourites yet? Mine are Nina, Rima, Miihi, Mako, Akari & Erina

 

[wobblepenguin]

Mihi, Nina and Arai

So do we know how the show’s doing in Japan? Like the ratings, is it being talked about or something... I know Rima went viral on Japanese twitter tho.

The show is only airing on Hulu Japan for now. The audition process will air on Hulu and the competition is going to air on Nippon TV. I haven't seen view numbers on the vod, if there even is one, but the live broadcast had around 12k viewers at its peak. My limited twitter search on it doesn't show a huge following. It's hard to gauge interest in Japan without being there or being able to read Japanese. 2ch would be a good place to have a slight idea of how popular it is. It is also worth noting I don't know if Korea was able to watch the show which would make the viewer numbers misleading. I would guess right now it isn't really popular outside of people that like K-pop in Japan. When it starts airing on Nippon TV, a over the air tv channel, and a big one at that, we will have a much easier way to see how popular it is and it will for sure get a lot more eyes on it.

tbh i thought there would been more famous current or ex member of some japanese idol group would join.

Pretty sure JYP asked for people not in an entertainment company to audition, which would exclude current idols. Also Japanese idols and Korean idols are extremely different, there is very little overlap to what is expected of either and how they work. It is not similar enough for you to expect more to have taken interest in this opportunity. Having said that you also have to remember they only showed less than 1% of the people that actually auditioned. There could have been more former Japanese idols but they were cut during editing.

Not that well but it might gain more followers once twice promotes it maybe? its on hulu so we won’t get ratings just yet. But it didnt really trend Rima trended as zebras daughter but it ended up being more of people talking about him rather than Rima and the show and in 5chan ,which basically the biggest platform where idols and tv shows are discussed espeacially for kpop fandoms in japan, they haven’t completed 1 thread yet (1 thread 1000 comments) for example i remember when 16 was airing they would go trough 2-4 threads per day.
