SNH48 management responded by saying they are a fully independent localized idol group with no breach of contract

[+5,022] Without the AKB music library, you would be producing manure, go wash up and take a nap

 

[+4,492] From legitimate to copycat version…..if you’re confident then change your name

 

[+3,762] I feel so embarrassed…I’m a human right…

 

[+3,822] The BEJ48 and GNZ48 names are enough for me to laugh for an entire year

 

[+3,315] With this XXX48 name, they have the nerve to claim originality

 

[+2,804] Four words: Burning bridges 

 

[+2,700] SXX48 isn't even more popular than Sunshine, what will you do to break through 

 

[+2,610] Then don’t call yourselves XXX48, not due to the 48g hype, 48g business model, 48g songs, from a line of 18 girls to what they are right now. Shut your mouth okay, be grateful okay?

 

[+2,581] Like a pheasant (slang for prostitutes/illegally operated)

 

[+2,225] Now remember, you must remember to be original ah 233 (233= laughing emoticon)

 

[+2,203] As long as you keep the SNH48 name, you will always live in the shadow of AKB48

“AKB48 made an announcement yesterday regarding the removal of SNH48 related mentions from their website, we have speculated that it was because SNH48 created the two branches, BEJ48 and GNZ48. In fact, it is not accidental that news regarding SNH48’s attempts to become more localized by creating original Chinese songs has caused the Japanese side to become worried about a runaway sister group, in which they would no longer be able to profit off of from a copyright standpoint.â€

 

 

 

[+1081] It’s obvious that SNH breached the contract terms…

 

[+882] Never got permission from the headquarters in Japan, misappropriating with no long-term planning, you can’t really blame the head company

 

[+685] Look at how much money they’ve made?

 

[+611] They obviously breached the terms, pretending to create original music, don’t be so negative

 

[+561] Should get rid of this, looking quite malevolent…

 

[+557] I advise you delete this article

 

[+492] I want to say, as a media firm, this is misrepresentation, it’s obvious that SNH48 breached the contract, they belong to the 48 and have always been a 48 group while using their songs, don’t say I don’t love my country,  don’t make this about country, of which they are not qualified to speak on behalf of anyways

 

[+487] Whether the music is original or not is not the big issue, do not change the subject, the key question is regarding the breach of contract. You mentioned the motives for breaching contract, anyways, there’s no spirit of the contract

So basically SNH48's management is trying to break the groups away from the Japan 48G management's control?

 

Good luck winning that one sis.

[Briar Rose]

I wonder what the girls think of this

[Joga]

I wonder what the girls think of this

As there are so many girls, there's varying opinions. But I imgagine all of them are hoping something can be settled so their dreams can continues.

So the Chinese company is okay with cutting the relation with the Japanese one? I don't think it's a good idea since they are a kind of "franchise" and without the name... franchises are not that relevant.

[WonderTwice]

SNH48 is a sister group of akb48 right ?

[gretchen]

SNH48 is a sister group of akb48 right ?

[Krystal.]

Mess.

Wow C-netizens are siding with AKB48/AKS/a certain japanese organisation? This is so unexpected 

[i_apologize]

Both Japan (AKB48 agency) and Korea (SM) are soooo stupid 

Do they really think Chinese will help Japan / Korea gain money?   HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Chinese courts don't even care for these japan / Korea clowns.

 

Your own bad luck being so dumb

Do they really think Chinese will help Japan / Korea gain money?   HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
