But just looks aren't going to make them appeal to the public.
I want some interesting characters!
^maybe those girls that don't appeal to u by face, may appeal to u by their sense of humor, if they have one.
I'm really going to pay attention how these "season vets" help the inexperienced girls bring out their characters while pushing themselves to the front.
The sense of competition, I expect, will be a little more fierce with daily Senbatsu.
I like a group that thinks "we want to be number 1 as a group, but as idols we want to center position for ourselves."
And the construction of the group allows that.
AkiP did say he didn't reveal al his plans for the group, and detail to be revealed later.
One of my hypothesis are, there will be a Senbatsu counter.
On the website, they will keep count/score of how many times a person makes it into the Senbatsu and the center Senbatsu and the number 1 spot.
I believe one reason for keeping count, will decide priorities of CM and other deals.
As for singles, it be important to use such a system to decide positions for the PV.
But then again, after the PV is made, a person surpasses the center in the Senbatsu counter, has to relearn positions.
That makes things tricky.
Idk if they will reset the counter each year or so but I like it
A Senbatsu Counter would make the website popular.
Almost like watching the score of a game when there is no tv available for u to watch u kno
I also think their show, AKB48 History" will last one season. What AKB have done in 5 years, they will do in 5 months? Sounds like a season or two.
This show will end quickly and they will get their own AKBINGO-ish show, I think.
I'm interested if AkiP himself will be more involved in AKB History. Sorta like he was in AKB to XX. Maybe they will get VTRs. And I'm curious what kind of MC is help assist this group in helping out for those 5 months. I hope everyone knows what they sign up for and won't drop out like flies. Seeing recent NMB news baffles me...
I have many other hypothesis but they are flawed and can be easily argued against lol.
One thing I'm curious about is organization of the members.
Will there be teams? How many? Who will be the captains and leader? For their leaders and captains, will they give those positions New names?
What does Sony plan to do with their music to stand against avex?
What crazy and media raping idea will AkiP come up with to promote the group?
Will this group get their own CG idol? Lmfao
what will be the rest of akb's reaction be?
Will both groups be allowed on a variety show (a non-akip show).
Will there be a member on either side that will take the rivalry to the next level (looking at u miichan)?
Will there be an official declaration of war? Lol
WILL AN [ELITE] 48GIRL TURN TRAITOR AND JOIN THE 46GIRLS?!
So many questions in my head....
If any of u have any ideas of possible plans AkiP has for this group.
Please share
