  1. And I think that's one of reasons why it's not charting well yet. Big part of Koreans interested in P48 are AKB wotas so they maybe like Japanese ver. more and listen to it more often. Basically streams are splitting between two versions. Similar situation to artists uploading their MV on two channels, 1theK and their own.
  2. Fun facts with minsoo: DVD "MEMORIES OF 2017" has sold more copies than "2 Cool 4 Skool" album on Hanteo (59,102 as of June 2018). Next target is "O!RUL8,2?" with 67,666 copies sold on Hanteo. Don't be sad guys, newer stuff tends to sell better if group is growing! Think about it how amazing "2018 BTS" is if they outsold their first album with DVD alone!
  3. "Kenshi Yonezu has once again set a new record. His new single Lemon was released physically on March 14 [2018] and shipped over 300,000 copies straight away." [1] Full album "BOOTLEG" also recorded sales exceeding 300,000 copies in total. [2] Not to mention "Lemon " surpassed million downloads digitally. [3] (2018.04) _________ About Produce Girls, I don't get why you guys think they would sign massively with KOREAN agencies. If they gain some popularity through this program in Japan (or among AKB fans) they would fly back faster than you blink. Being popular in Korea would only lead to release some "Korean versions" or speaking Korean on Showroom to keep fans who would buy their Japanese stuff. More like Hwang Chiyeol with Korea & China. Becoming trainee in Korea means NO PAYMENT before debut and maybe some time after because you need to pay back training cost, PS, beauty care, language lessons and who knows what else. Being member of AKB means REGULAR PAYMENT and you are free to sign with other agency to take care of your career outside AKB while still being in AKB as your insurance. I'm not saying there wouldn't be ANY girl who would want to be an idol in Korea (like Myao) but most of them will choose Japan. They joined to boost their popularity as Japanese idols after all.
  4. They are Japanese people working as idols in Korea. Trust me they don't need to follow P48 to see xenophobic comments, googling their own names would give them enough content. :/
  5. NOW she looks good. She started managing herself after painful reality check. Maybe it's not that tragic for normal girl but for an idol...
  6. She's too old to debut in SMNGG. I think the oldest kids rumored to debut there were born in 1999. This group won't be f(x) or Red Velvet 2.0 with older members like Victoria or Irene but Girls' Generation type (GG debut ages were 18-16). And as AKB fan I will say one thing. It's not like Miyu was NEVER pushed. She was. She debuted as 9th generation ACE, appeared on AKBingo, etc. but later was outshined by Shimazaki Haruka (centered AKB's singles at least 3 times, Kami 7), Yokoyama Yui (current General Manager also Kami 7) and Oba Mina (who had quite big scandal back in 2012 but raised this year to Senbatsu on SSK). All of them are older than Miyu so it's not age matter and it's not like they are Miss Japan type of beauty (personally I think Miyu doesn't loose to them in terms of looks). It's just that THEY had that factor X needed by idols which Miyu doesn't have. Same goes for variety. Watching AKBingo I noticed she's pushed by her senpais and most of her funny moments are thanks to them. For an AKB member she's too shy/timid/introverted or whatever. That's why it's hard for her to get popular in the group. There is a big difference between her and even TOP30 members from SSK ranking. Even if she wanted to be an idol, debuting as indie/r&b singer would be way better for her career as singer. It's not like what you want is always the best for you. Also I don't think she's that happy now with her position in AKB to continue part time idol life. I know this post isn't the nicest but I really like her singing and I wish she could get more recognition for that which won't happen if she stays in 48G. :( Yonezu Kenshi started from Vocaloids and now he tops charts with his music alone. I believe Miyu can try it too.
  7. Ok. I have seen a least 5 different people in this thread putting Vivian along with Erii, Wonyoung and Haeun when it comes to age discussion. Guys, she's 19. She doesn't look but she's 99-liner not 03/04-liner. Same age friend with Park Seoyoung, Kang Hyewon, Yamada Noe and older than about 50 girls from Produce 48.
  8. Yeah, but even she fixed it years ago right after graduation. If you look at newer AKB girls many of them have already straight teeth or are fixing them compared to first generation idols. Same goes for actors. Yabuki Nako fixed her teeth too and it wasn't even that bad to begin with. Yuko, Okada Nana and Paruru too.
  9. I will just add that it's 2.6M SONGS not ALBUMS sold. If you want to count albums then it's 235,861 now.
  10. You guys love theories, huh? :D I was rewatching old AKB48's MVs and while reading comments I found this: Guess who has ranked 9th this year? YES. 9. YABUKI NAKO
  11. Until Kaeun I thought you are hating on Japanese to praise Koreans but you are bashing everyone. Out of 11 only 4 are nice, you need to be like incorrect Tiffany, focus on the positive: Click here to view the Tweet
  12. Hanteo Sales LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear': 1,142 // 1,229,630 MEMORIES OF 2017 (SRN): 1,557 // 54,382
  13. If she didn't want to be here then she wouldn't apply. 48G members weren't forced by management to participate. And saying "it feels like hell here" isn't something weird for 14 years old Japanese girl who had to adapt to complete new environment. Ask soldiers who are doing their military service if it didn't feel like hell for them at least once. Even SNSD Taeyeon said once that she wanted to runaway during her trainee days.
  14. Erina is quite popular for someone who debuted in 2014. Last year she ranked #92 on SSK and this year #60. She's not regular senbatsu member but being on Top100 already shows that she isn't complete "nugu".
