  1. Yuiri is currently performing in the KKS stage what even lol

     

    Edit : Yuiri announced the promotion of Kurosu Haruka to Team 4 ... so thats why she's here lol

  2. I'm really liking Mikana ,she is more interesting than strange tbh. I was watching her showroom with Yuuka yesterday and to my surprise she was really cheerful and cute ,not quite what I expected from how she tries to portray herself on SNS

  3. An idol market where Nogi46, Keya46, and AKB48 already exist?  Tell me where would IZ*One have room to squeeze in?  IZ*One doesn't do handshakes or weekly theaters so how exactly are they gonna draw AKB wotas?  Or more importantly, WHY would AKS want to target AKB wotas in the first place?  They already have their money.  And if IZ*One releases music similar to the 46 groups.....then how exactly are they going to differentiate themselves?

     

    You don't win over idol fans by releasing the same type of music that existing idol groups already do.  That just makes them the same old same old.  Nobody wants a copy of an existing product.  They want something better.  Something new.  THAT'S how you attract fans from another group.  And let's face reality: Most of IZ*One's Japanese fans are female kpoppers from Produce48.  They basically have a foothold into the young female category.  Why not push IZ*One's strength and focus on dominating that field instead of aiming for male wotas and possibly alienating their existing fanbase?

     

    If you think Suki to Iwasetai was a good choice.....then show me the evidence?  What music chart did it dominate?  Is there any proof that it successfully converted a lot of wotas into Wiz*Ones?  Is there any evidence that it made that many new fans at all?

     

    Also....... Keyakizaka46 - Silent Majority.  Listen to it and you can tell that it has similar musical style to Suki to Iwasetai.

     

    But that's what bring in the money, you guys might not be familiar with AKS but this is the only thing they care about...Jpop is way more different than Kpop. If they marketed IZ*ONE to Japanese KPOP fans only it will never bring in the same money as wotas would..which in the eyes of AKS would be a complete failure.Hi-touch is basically Handshakes tbh and thats where 90 % of IZ*ONE sales come from in Japan. Also when I say they marketed IZ*ONE in a style that would appeal to Japanese Idol fans I most certainly do not mean 48/46g fans as they are a whole another category in itself. The music they put out in Japan is a variant of 48/46g...sure it might not be new but it certainly is not the same so I have no problem with them releasing songs like that.

     

    Keyakizaka46 - Silent Majority is considered the best idol debut of this decade in Japan and I do not see any similarity in them. Suki to Iwasetai sounds more like something Nogizaka46 would come out with.

  4. Lol I came back to this thread just to see a battlefield.  Anyways just some points:

     

    1) Suki to Iwasetai was a bad choice for their Japanese debut.  It was a mistake.  By itself it's a decent song but a decent B-side song.  A decent B-side song is simply not good enough for a Title track  It felt dated and didn't differentiate them from Keya46 or AKB48 sounds.  It basically did nothing to expand their popularity in Japan.   Gokigen Sayonara was so soo much better.  I pray that AKS learns from this and realizes that they were trying to pander to the wrong market.  I have hopes on Buenas Aires just because of the title so keeping my fingers crossed.

     

     

    I didn't know people thought Suki to was a bad choice ..interesting I guess. imo AKS made the perfect choice to appeal to Japanese IDOL fans which is the market they want to appeal to for IZ*ONE...and it had enough 48/46g element to it to appeal to conventional wotas... I wonder what market you're talking about tbh ..Also Keya46 never had a song that sound like suki...like ever.

    A bit sad for Erii ..she was in top 2-3 the whole time but went down to 6th in the final result. Miu , Naamin and Satomina winning a beat event again lol.
  6. Isn't Rena and Jurina going to possibly do an event together at a fashion show this month?

     

    Yeah they will appear in an award but this will literally be Rena if she sees Jurina tbh za5g21G.png   :

  7. We can all agree that Erii doesn't appeal to old wotas I guess ... But I have to say AKB48 would look so good with a Naamin and Erii push tho , like it would be a huge breath of fresh air that AKB desperately need imo. Aces like Yuiyui and Moeka are so ''AKB'' and that's not very appealing to outsiders ..but then again its not the market that AKS want to appeal to...

  8. I mean the reasons Yuiyui and Moeka get pushed in Japan is because they bring sales especially with HS where both of them have maximum slots and are always sold out very fast. Erii is just too far from this level

     

    This is only true for Yuiyui tho , Moeka slots are not on the same level as her. Also STU48 Ishida Chiho sell way more slots than Yuiyui and Moeka but management will never give her a look in , they still push whoever they like more. As for Erii i'm like her biggest fan in here but shes not the type to appeal to AKB's wotas tbh..she would be more fitted for Nogi with just how pretty she is in general. Sadly shes not a loli with big ''cough'' ''opp-..personality'' like Moeka to appeal to wotas.
