Prosecution demands a 3 year prison sentence for Ahn Joon Young PD and Kim Yong Beom CP for their roles in manipulation during the Produce 101 series
They also demanded 1 year in prison for the entertainment agency employees involved
To summarize the Yamaguchi Maho (NGT):
She was attacked by a "fan" and apparently almost killed
Management denied her access to all social media so she couldn't post anything about it
One of the members is the one responsible for her being attacked
Her live stream was cut midway
1. Shes reading a chinese tongue twister
2. Alex Christine, Tony, the Thai contestant in qcyn 2, the foreigner in Produce Japan and etc couldn't speak the language of the program
*we see legs walking in*
The non-idol girls on their seats: Wait isn’t that? EKEBI 48??
*cut scene*
*gasps* she was in MORNING MUSUME
*flashes Produce logo*
Episode 2 teaser card: ex-members of AKB and Morning Musume compete for grade A
Not to be an annoying Kpoop stan, but while y'all are here I might as well plug in this rly underrated group that has unique concepts and music and deserves love. They are coming back soon and it'd be cool if more ppl knew about them.
I present you WJSN:
Saying AKB doesn't get paid is simply wrong by a long shot. Especially when there have been low tier popularity members who have came out to say they rent out expensive apartments and live luxurious life.
And then you compare them to Kpop where 3 year old groups havent been paid.
48g fans are mad about Acchan being labeled as “average looks” but that was her whole branding in Japan as well.
Trust I never got it too, but it was the whole concept of “AKB look like girls you can meet on the street”.
Kpop stans: Jpop idols are forced to never date because their fans are old virgins and their company exploits them!
Also kpop stans: Hello??? He had sex. He should leave the group and the industry.
Good thing my oppa does not have sex. He is focused on the group and the fans.
Most of the new girls just dont have it, no matter how much better they are at singing, dancing etc if you put them next to someone as Paruru they would be unnoticeable
The star factor is just missing nowadays & the group is trying to focus on talent which is just not what AKB is
Jessi reveals that she passed an audition at SM Entertainment and was supposed to debut in Girls’ Generation.
— “I had been at SM, I would have become a member of Girls’ Generation or CSJH. But I wouldn’t have fit in. If I were in CSJH, I would have clashed with Stephanie. We
Produce 101 Japan is starting and P48 gave bad reputation for Japanese vocal coaches.
This is what the vocal coach of Produce 101 Japan, Sugai, did with the group Juice=Juice. First clip is their debut and second is them after they JUST started training with Sugai.
The Weekly Bunshun report that Hitomi Honda was appointed center of AKB48's latest single, "Motokare Desu", in a deal to stop her from graduating, but an insider alleges she seems likely to graduate next year and maybe follow Sakura Miyawaki to Korea.
Yall im gonna get vaccinated and live life idc if they chip me or something...
What information they gonna extract from me? The Morning Musume members in generation order? The AKB48 sousenkyo ranks by year? Random AKBINGO scenes in my head I giggle at?
On May 19th it was reported that former AKB48/HKT48 member Aika Ota (28) is in a serious relationship with Koki Yamaguchi (22) of the Chiba Lotte Marines baseball team. According to a source close to the couple, she started dating last year, and has told those around her that
I dont wanna hear wizzers or whatever yall call urselves come for Naachan! Shes been extremely dedicated and worked so hard with AKB not only for the last 3 years but before that as well.
She was the most deserving of that center position.
Yall shit on pure visuals, complain about Korean beauty standards, degrade plastic surgery & then pull out sum shit like this one
Kpop stans truly deserve 0 rights
Raise your hand if at around age 15 you were convinced you will learn fluent Japanese within a year and fly out to Japan, get recruited as an idol and become center despite being as talentless as it gets.
Idk why the Jurina-Sakura feud suddenly got woken up again, but someone said Jurina *ONLY* won ssk because it was held in Nagoya and I felt rage in my stomach that I haven’t felt in years.
Look at them. They are so intimidated by the talent, professionalism, stage presence, Maeda Atsuko and the good music they would never be able to perform in their lives.
I feel sorry for them quite honestly...
A good question is - why was she not expelled after having literal documented RECORDS for bullying/school violence?
Her being a little menace to society and then walking it off with a multi million company contract.
A new proposal may make it harder for foreigners to buy Japanese concert tickets, as purchasers would be required to show their government-issued My Number Card. Hopefully a method for visitors (e.g. passport details) could be provided. English article:
And this is what Juice=Juice sounds today after continuously working with Sugai Hidenori.
They have become one of the best idol vocalists.
So hopefully, Produce 101 Japan will also help to cut the narrative that Japanese idols cannot sing that was fabricated by mnet.
