Event: Asia Style X Style showcase
Date: Jun 22nd 
Venue: Singapore
Members involved: Tang Min, Dong Zhiyi, Mo Han, Chen Guanhui, Xu Jiaqi, Wu Zhehan

What's surprising it that AKB48 wasn't even featured in the local ads for this StyleXStyle showcase.

The inaugural ASIA STYLE COLLECTION 2013 is a celebration of Asian pop culture, combining fashion and music in an amazing one-day extravaganza. The event features the first-ever collaboration of Korea’s K-POP COLLECTION and Japan’s TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION, with exciting performances by Asia’s marquee musical acts such as Girls' Generation and 2NE1.

I'm only getting Kuraki Mai, not even sure AKB48 was involved though.

Well... chances of it being subbed in english.....realistically is pretty low since all the active english subgroups I know are already having problem keeping up with Japanese's contents. 

But I'll keep a lookout

benstack here is the confirmation to your previous rumor.

SNH48's Tang Min and fellow members in total of 6 went over to Japan for research tour and to support the Sousenkyo

SHN48 is the only invited overseas sister group to go over and study and research at Nissan Stadium. Members who went over is Tang Min, Zhao Jiamin, Dong Zhiyi, Wu Zhehan, Zhang Yuge and Chen Guanhui.



The trip includes a tour of the AKB Headquarter, for the members to have a look at their Senpai's behind the scene work environment. On the 8th, they join in and observe the rehearsal and get to feel the tension of Sousenkyo. Also they will be allow to visit the AKB48 theater to witness the performance of the AKB48 Senpai. Apart from that, they are also visiting Tokyo's tourism spots and getting a understanding of the Japanese cultures.



The purpose of this research tour is not only for the girls to admire the impressive aura of their senpai, but also understanding the hard work that is putted in to make AKB48 the success they are today. And hopefully the members can follow in the Senpai's footstep and bring glory to the People's Republic of China's Idol Group.

The Journey of Team Kaigai for the New Songs Concert





The filming started on May 24 when they touched down at the airport and covered it throughout their time in Shanghai. Their schedule for this round is very packed, yet they still managed to handle it without too much stress. Note of mention, on May 24 night, when they joined the rehearsal at the venue, they will well-received by the fans and members presented. The Kaigai members mixed in with the SNH48 girls, hugging and chatting, without language barrier or culture barrier. 





On the night of the concert, the Kaigai members joined the rest on stage and interact with the crowd, although their chinese is still not that fluent, but that didn't dampen the spirit of the crowd.

SNH48 Research Tour Report

The girls went to Senso-ji temple and Tokyo Tower. 







First stop was the temple, and they entered the Edo era of buildings and cultures. They went and took photo under the famous Thunder Gate, before going on a feast at the various food stalls that is inside the temple.

Second stop was Tokyo tower, they enjoyed the romantic view of the Tower lighting up Tokyo's night sky. 

The girls wiped off their anxiety with joys and happiness from the tour around the city.

SNH48 Research Tour from Nissan Stadium

The 4 days research tour includes the ever-important Sousenkyo at Nissan Stadium, where the girls witness the whole event from Rehearsal to the main concert and finally the Sousenkyo itself.



When the Overture for the main concert started, the whole venue's atmosphere erupted. And the girls were overawed in tears seeing their Senpai on the stage, filling the stage with their presences. No matter of control is able to stop the tears from falling.





At the Sousenkyo, Miyazawa Sae ranked in at position 10, and renounced her concurrent position in Team K, declaring to focus solely on SNH48. 





No matter where in the world, the Sousenkyo is already viewed as a world class event. And hopefully the girls can take up the never give up attitude of their Senpai and strike to produce a world class SNH48.

SNH48 - Growing up diary - From the new drama

[benstack]

Nice to see all this SNH stuff going on. The Japan trip was great, the Sae + Mariya video is awesome,... Ah, just makes me feel happy 



It's unfortunate that they don't have an eng subbed TV show I can watch them on regularly.  Is that documentary show their only variety show type thing? cakama

Well on the group level other than the drama they are filming now, there isn't much going on. The growth of SNH48 is more like a web cast like their drama.

But key members like Tang Min are being invited to guest star in all the bigger scale TV programs both cable and national TV. 

They wouldn't have their own proper TV programs until they reach B-list status, cos of viewership issues. 

But from the extract of the trips, it seems like SNH48 will be taking part in Sousenkyo in the near future.

Got it - so hopefully in the future 




Hm... So you think they might be seriously considering that idea we spoke of? (allowing sister groups to run for senbatsu)
Speaking of which, you said they'd need to add on another 16 spots if they did that.  Where would they place them? Below the Future Girls?

I believe they are, cos its solved the problem with the growing size of the Japan groups as well.

64seats is meant for 4 groups, but technically when it was introduced in 2012 there is only 3 groups ( full AKB48+SKE48, and a 2 team NMB48 + HKT48 1st gen KKS). 

By 6th Sousenkyo, there will be 12 full teams + KKS. Bringing the total scale of the Japan groups to close to 300 members. So 64seats can only fulfill 21% of the members which isn't going to be positive for the growth pace.

They need to slot in overseas groups to expand the seating in Sousenkyo, hence giving more chances for Japanese members to rank in (cos like NMB48 and HKT48 who are the lambs being sacrificed now, it will be JKT48 and SNH48 in the future).

Also that will bring in more revenues than current Sousenkyo, at least 15% more from Indonesia, and 30% more from China (and if the stupid TPE48 issues can settled asap) another 12-18% from Taiwan. 

So its benefit for everyone, and training members to speak a few Japanese lyrics isn't going to be too hard. Just repeat them until it sounds ok, since its a group performance, singing gets covered over.
