KFC again

agree maybe another hit song if they insist on performing old songs they probably chose KFC because its easier for to learn since many people will be on stage but all forgien 48G know almost everysong except maybe sgo and del . What happend to good old heavy rotation thats where akb's global sucess started and i think its easy? The last time akb performed that win tomu centered it for about a minute or two in a music show this year or was it mion ? My point is i'm bored of KFC

i hate to be that person but technically king records is a record label all it does disdistribute music and its only responsible for AKB and STU other groups have diffrent companies the only thing they can do is drop akb/stu if they are involved in a huge scandal but i doubt theyll drop akb since they have an entire sub label just for them it would be too much of a lose and if ariola which is ngt's company didnt drop ngt i doubt they will drop stu if they get into a scandal . Back to the main subject aks is where the big
decision's are made they would be crazy to drop akimoto even if he is only involved in the artistic things he's the reason the groups became what they are and i bet hes some kind of shareholder and the public/ some of the members current and former wont leave them alone no matter what kind of a person or a lyricist he is and if i agree or dont agree with some of the things he done or lyrics he wrote i cant deny that he's the reason akb is what it is and 48g is what it is him and Akb 1st gen and 2nd gen so my conclusion is aks would be stupid to stop working with him he is the "a" in aks afterall

Wow! I didn't expect that from ske's theater goddess . But then again she's been working so hard and has never been rewarded not that many song participations no senbatsu not any kind of center and i'm guessing she dosn't have many fans either so i don't blame her next year she'll be in her second year of high school and must start studying for collage exam like most of japanese students i dont know if she said she decided her future or not but im sad she worked so hard . If they dont promote kks theyll push the next in line to be be a theater goddess ami who is only 14 and thats just low

To those who are fans of overseas 48G some of them announced their representatives for the kohaku world senbatsu performance :






only jkt,sgo,del left . Looks like it will be one from each team plus the usual japan 48G senbatsu just like last year's SSK

 

[Yun]

[abra]

This world senbatsu thing is severely restricting the songs they can perform

yeah now i get it i remember reading something with numbers but i didnt understand it i think this bracket is 20 year olds to 21 year olds and i just checked the last one was 22 year old and above apperantly . there are 3 brackets left from ages 16 to 19 . I hope more unknown gems win the next ones like the namba girls and fukada and odaeri looking forward to takino too she's the best .

akb=48G, since "akb" songs have sister groups in the lineup. and i'm sure king rec doesn't just distributes music, no record label does just that, they have a say in many things maybe not as much as aks.
and since sister groups members are in akb singles, probabily other agencies have a say as well. i don't think aks can decide who to use from nmb without yoshimoto approval/consent.

maybe but i personally don't think so if akimoto who is one of the people who started aks dosen't have a big influence anymore how can a record label . If they have a say maybe in the music ? But nothing regarding managment and yes of course other companies does too regarding akb senbatsu .

 

[Some]

Smart business move yoshimoto but why do i feel like someone's missing? . I think that's all the new gen namba aces right? . Plus gravure Queen yokono sumire but for some reason yoshimoto well showtitle to be exact is ignoring her idk why they are just using her popularity for their benifit they wont promote her wont give her jobs beside shoots even though shes slaying .

king records is the one who is allowing akb to record/publish their music on the market, they're putting money on it, so yes they have a say.
if aks/king records wants to give akb a new sound+new lyrics, they can. aki-p "sells" his work to many record labels, he doesn't have an exclusive contract with anyone. if aks/king rec says "we don't need your songs anymore" aki-p can't do nothing about it. he has influence but it's a bland one if you aren't a member of aks.

I'm a bit surprised at them including Rei, but it makes sense. Her and Sumire seem to have about the same popularity, but Kei has been in the group a bit longer. Not to mention that Sumire is still a kenkyuusei. Aayan, Cocona and Rei are also all 5th gen and in team BII, so they will know eachother better than any of them know Sumire + have similar schedules. I think if they hadn't chosen Rei, then it might've actually been Mikana or Suzu.

Anyway, this unit more or less confirms that Miru will center the next single. It won't be an Umeyamamoto w-center, atleast.
