*sigh* And everyone at first thought this AKB-SNH partnership would tone down the tension between both countries I wonder if AKS has taken back all their staff members, e.g SNH's theater manager Manabu Yamamoto

I hope things between both sides won't get any uglier than this, regular territory disputes are already messy enough >.< I'm pretty sure TPE will act as 48G's representative in the chinese market once they debut, but that means they'll be put in an awkward situation

We all know the "official rival" thing is just a term to spice things up while 46G are actually closely affiliated with 48G Heck some japanese media even list Nogi under AKB section Somehow I feel bad for a number of CNH48 members who auditioned for their respective group out of admiration for JPN48

But hasn't SNH48's logo been removed from AKB's official site?

Actually I think cutting ties with AKS will make SNH less detestable in chinese public's eyes Since debut the group's been viewed as a pro-japanese organisation & has been receiving unreasonable hate solely because of that

AKS & co. still have JKT, TPE, BNK & MNL to "expand" the 48 branch, but SNH's undoubtedly the biggest deal they've ever signed It's a shame that both parties couldn't work it out >.< But does this mean that all CHN48 groups are going to change their name to avoid confusions?

I know it's inevitable but this breakup is just so sad & leaves bitter feelings I guess AKS & co. are going to focus on TPE48 from now on to get a foothold in the chinese market

Seriously some badges look so bad that I can't help wondering how they could have existed in the first place Not to mention it's such a mystery that they beat a handful of better creations fair & square But afterall beauty's in the eye of the beholder People are probably saying the same thing about my submissions

I know that japanese people have become tired of long-time shows but personally I find it hard to say goodbye to those with a history

Just dropping by to say that I've recently become interested in period lakorns I had always had a negative image of thai tv series, excluding sitcoms (some of them are really enjoyable ) & GMM/GTH-produced ones (although to me they look more like movies made for TV ). I hate slap kiss ones to death (seriously I never get why people can support a pro-rape genre which degrades women ) & a few that I found promising at first (Koo Kum, Fun Fueng, Tam Rak Kuen Jai, Lah Ruk Sut Kob Fah, Cinderella Rong Tao Tae, Leh Nangfah) turned into a draggy mess after a while But a few days ago I stumbled across Sapai Jao & got hooked immediately, even finishing all 17 episodes at once Gosh I was so happy to finally find a lakorn where sisters/bffs don't fight over a man & brothers/bffs genuinely care for each other Plus many clothes worn by its female characters were so elegant & lovely Then out of curiosity I searched for Neung Nai Suang & Suparburoot Jutathep Series - Khun Chai Tharathorn & was surprisingly satisfied by the overall quality of each They're not hypnotizing or anything but I had fun watching them & didn't drop half-way On top of that, the theme songs have been stuck in my head for days How I love the old-time vibe of these 3 But this one remains my favorite thai theme song of all time

CROSS GENE will be providing the theme song for Dean Fujioka's internet drama "Himawari~ Happy Marriage!?" The song "NO NO NO -K.remix-" is an upbeat tempo track. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/Amuse.Inc.Asia/posts/613550138811541

OMG I didn't know there was a regularly updated Younha thread on OH I thought all her international fans had already gone Thank you guys for keeping this thread alive & lively like this I used to be a casual fan of hers since debut but lost touch a few years ago, it's time to check her out again

I'm looking forward to Momusu's performance on MS It's been a while

Congrats to the newly born couple They look good together & they're compatible It's surprising how they managed to break out of the friendzone though LMAO Huaying shippers are bashing both Wallace & Ruby left & right upon hearing this Those losers have been stuck in their self-made Hua Qian Gu's fantasy for so long, it's time to wake up

I'm so glad that Kiki's geting a solo CM deal She can pull off both sexy & cute styles, it's a shame that her beauty's so underrated In developing countries, anything comes from the West is seen as a symbol of modernization We have that mentality in my country too, where a fastfood set costs double the average meal Wait I can see posters of "Ode to Joy", "Nirnava in Fire" & "The Disguiser" right there Does it mean that the most voted girl(s) will have a chance to work with the production team behind those dramas? I hope SNH & sisters won't have every single MV shot by ZANYBROS though They should change style once in a while to keep things fresh I wonder how the chinese fans react upon hearing this Are they freaked out by the thought of these girls' possible graduation? Mariyannu's withdrawal is pretty much a given, since she has no chance of ranking (it's already impossible for her to struggle within AKB) & didn't participate last year either

AKS has recently launched a ssk poster printing campaign in partnership with some konbini such as FamilyMart, Lawson, etc. I guess that's the main reason they forbid fantaken photos now? So far only Annin & her Amélie Poulain parody stands out to me from those posters I don't know if the french movie is popular in Japan but this is such a brilliant idea

Congrats to Sica & her team Her teasers sound & look promising, I'm looking forward to her debut Btw I don't know why KPop fans & media keep using the term "pre-order sales" (copies bought by final customers) to call "shipment units" (copies shipped to stores) You pre-order something when you order it before its release date, it's just simple as that After so many years this misuse of words still causes massive confusion, clearly inflating the popularity of the artist involved
