DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Someone posted this on Arama last night: One of Matsuko Deluxe’s programs profiled a dance and singing school in Japan that trains K-pop hopefuls a while back. They asked the (all Japanese) students why they were aiming to join a K-pop grp rather than J-pop like AKB48. The answers were interesting. They said that to be a success as a Jpop group member it wasn’t enough to just be able to dance and sing and be pretty. You also had to be witty and charming without a script to get noticed at all. In other words, it was much tougher for someone who just wanted to sing&dance. In other words, someone like Rino Sashihara, who just “graduated“ from AKB48 and is very good on chat and variety shows, is the ideal Jpop girl these days. Not everyone is good at that kind of thing though or even wants to do it, so they aim for Kpop groups where they “just†need to dance, sing and look good. Thoughts?

Nsfw 5,495 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's true, but it wasn't always this way honestly. Older gen kpop groups are pretty entertaining when it comes to variety (suju, shinhwa, snsd) but newer ones lack in that way. I really can't think of ONE kpop group that I feel is genuinely fun to watch outside of performances other than BTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenjuroX 692 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Interesting insight. I had always thought that because of how the Japanese market was so very self-contained that some of these jpn trainees wanted to spread their wings and see how far they can go globally. But then again, I guess everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantnobody- 1,267 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 But who will have a longer career? There are idols in their 40s in Japan. yeah, in men's case. this segment was about girls. it's not wonder girls flock to kpop. akb is not what used to be and even akb members from golden era are barely relevant. just look at takahashi minami who amassed over 130 k votes in 2015 and one year ago she made headlines bc she couldn't sell out venues with 500 capacity. and girl's just 28.

It didn't say anything about the gender of trainees. It used Rino as an example. The same can be said about every relevant male idol as well, even more so. Maybe they don't want to host a news show or be in movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
