cakama Btw I was able to watch Mahou Shojou episode before it got taken down, domo arigato I was surprised about the screen times for some members~ Like Iichan, Captain, Boss got plenty of time, while Miochan, Lovetan, Haruppie didn't. I like the setting of that show even if they don't get asked something you see most members during the camera shots anyway. On Hyakatten the upper left/right spots were barely visible in general. The program is meant to rotate focus every episode for the TV senbatsu so everyone gets some showtimes, well thats was Sasshi's plans... She seems to be building on a range of members rather than key focus on a few core members like the rest of the Sister groups... Good and bad for that, good is of cos everyone gets a balance chance of media attention, bad is a balance of limited media attention isn't going to build rapport as fast...

For other sister groups you are almost "forced" to bias wMatsui/SayaMilky due to their fast amount of media exposure/daily content etc. Well 'forced' might be the wrong term but if you're new to the sister groups you will most likely end up with one of them as your oshimen. In HKT's case if there's a more balanced amount of exposure etc it's up to you to choose an oshimen without 'manipulation' due to overexposure. That sounds sliglty weird but I hope you get my point I haven't slept much + just came back from my exam so I'm still in mode. ^^

One reason why Namba is able to raise their profile so fast, its due to their focused marketing efforts on SayaMirukii... (also one reason why the WCenter of Sakae and Namba are so popular and why the WCenter of HKT48 is so far behind) Instead of taking a year to massively raise the WCenter's profile, it would take 3yrs to build everyone on a 50% level... its a big gamble which Sasshi can afford to take due to the natural high profile of Sakura, Haruppi, Meru and Mio.... and of cos herself... Personally I'm not sure if this is the correct method of pushing HKT48's profile... but then there isn't exactly a fixed way...

That's true. It's not that long ago when I didn't know a single HKT member (not even Sasshi that much). It was kinda hard to start with them since there was nobody to focus on. Meru Haruppie Sakura (Mio) spreaded exposure on so many members. Being selfish I like that way of promoting them now but for the sake of the group they should stick to the successful model like their onee-chan teams If you compare the early stages of SKE/NMB/HKT + raise of popularity are there significant differences? I mean Suki²Skip sales seemed to be decent compared to the first SKE/NMB releases. (Even though that's not really up to comparison since it's all in different era's of the 48project)

I mean Suki²Skip sales seemed to be decent compared to the first SKE/NMB releases. (Even though that's not really up to comparison since it's all in different era's of the 48project) Well the raise graph goes along with the main groups' timeline... 2005-2008 AKB48 is irrelevant, well just another idol project 2008 SKE48 project starts on ground zero, there is no fame from the main group to build on.. 2008-2010 AKB48 is starting to take over after change over to Kings Records = SKE48 is making slow growth like the main group 2011 After the success of HebiRota and Beginner in 2010, 2011 is the biggest year in AKB48's history = SKE48 is growing along with the main group as both side managed to double their sales volumes 2011 NMB48 project start on a higher ground that SKE48, but its still not that solid yet 2012 AKB48 is now on national idol status after 2 successful years = SKE48 managed to double their sales volume, gaining themselves national idol status as well = NMB48 starts off well running on the fame of their Oneechan groups = HKT48 starts on a very high profile platform since the AKB48 franchise name is very famous now So there isn't really much to compare, if for example SPR48 is formed, it will join in at a even higher platform than HKT48, and that level of fame alone will drive sales... cos like Apple Inc.... once a brand become gold, everything that have the logo will sell like hotcake regardless of price and whether its relevant or not... Maybe thing like Sousenkyo and HS can be and have been used as alternate system to measure the groups' growth...

Nah don't; that's gonna be depressing for HKT If I remember your latest posted HS block sales with all sister groups. As for Sousenkyo hmm it went from 1 to 4 (excluding former AKB members Sasshi, Lovetan) ranked members. (NMB 5 -> 8, SKE 15 -> 18 in 2012 - 2013). Funny though in terms of growth per sister team it's completely even for all three (not including ranks ) Sousenkyo 2014 is gonna be interesting for sure ~even more if SPR48 is gonna become real. ^^

Well for SKE48, you have to considered the amount of first time entries (7), and that is excluding Manatsu and Siera who is definitely getting a rank but choose not to enter... Well there is still an open discussion about the possibility of Kaigai groups joining as well... But without Sasshi, HKT48 don't have such a strong profile (Ranbutan is irrelevant in high profile matches)... I would still wish Sasshi will consider power pushing the Top 4....

Sakuratan's G+:Good evening! Everyone! Thank you for always encouraging and rooting for us warmly!The senbatsu members for HKT48's 2nd single Melon Juice have been decided! I'm able to sing in the same place that I was for the 1st single!However, the people serving as center this time are the 2nd generation's Meru and Mio. Until now, I've rarely showed the weak side of myself to everyone, but this time I want to honestly speak out about my feelings.It's really frustrating.Until now, to the 1st generation, thinking that we want to pull up HKT48, we've faced anything that came our way.Sasshii, Ai-chan coming to Hakata, performing a stage with only an insufficient 12 people, talking with all the 1st generation members while crying...A lot of things happened, we received a fair amount of our original songs, and days where we determinedly performed stages just continued passing by.The first song that we received, Hatsukoi Butterfly. The center was the 2nd generation Meru. The day of the recording that announced the center. All of a sudden my voice wouldn't come out, that day, I couldn't sing at all. But, I told myself that I need to try my best even during bitter times, and in order to continue to grow in my consciousness, I continued to endeavor.The 1st single, Suki! Suki! Skip! which I had desired from the bottom of my heart. For me, someone who had never once been entrusted with the position of center, being able to serve as center for Kataomoi no Karaage was a really happy event. During the filming of the MV, standing in the center singing, and having no one in front of me, all of it filled me with feelings of joy. For the 2nd single, I want to see the same scenery.I thought that strongly. During the sousenkyo, I was able to have the 2nd highest rank in HKT48 because of everyone. This event, for me, was a source of a lot, a lot of self-confidence. During the handshake event after the sousenkyo, a lot of people said, "If it's Sakura, you can be center!" And I was really happy. Everyone's expectations, I want to live up to them, that's what I thought. But, during the photoshoot for the 2nd single's cover, I found out that the centers were Meru and Mio.That day, I talked with Haruppi. Unsure of how to proceed from there, the 2 of us cried.Honestly, there are still times now when I'm don't know what to do. The goal that Haruppi and I set. No matter what happens, we'll determinedly keep pushing forward. I try by best because I expect everyone is almost certainly watching. The center position is not everything, but I want to become someone that shines no matter where I'm standing. My goal now, just like Oshima Yuko-san, is to gain fan recognition for my true ability. Someone who can glow! I want to be the first rabbit and pioneer.Sorry for not being able to collect all that I wanted to say clearly. Everyone, I love you!Always, thank you so much! From now on, please watch over me! Sakura bloom! cakama benstackSo sad to read S48 is on a rampage too, demanding Haruppie+Sakuratan center which I'd approve 100%

So sad to read S48 is on a rampage too, demanding Haruppie+Sakuratan center which I'd approve 100% S48 is full of short-sighted members like what HRP is always complaining about to senior members... Only people who aren't thinking the whole situation properly will rant about it... Haruppi isn't really center material, fact that she can't even gain respect from her own 1st gen during the breakup conflict... and she haven't won over 2nd gen at all... I'll cry for Sakuratan, cos of pushing Haruppi, Sakuratan is always the one sacrifice to look at someone's else back... If Haruppi is dropped before even 2nd gen comes aboard for Sakura, Sakura will be up there like Milky on her own level... Drop Meru and Mio and see HKT48 be the only group that goes on a decline path (AKB48 is not counted, but its always above the million mark)... Sakura and Haruppi have their chance of 2yrs to prove their worth, but.... results speaks for all...
