How many 3rd Gen members do you think we'll get. I reccon 2/3 members. Less 1st Gen members, more 2nd and a bigger overall senbatsu. About 18 girls.
I'm not sure we are going to see any 3rd gen members in the a-side. I think it is way to early for them to take a spot from 1st and 2nd gen.
This senbatsu problem is always an issue when speaking of the 48-family. There are so many awesome members in each group and generation. And now when NMB has got 3 generations, well welcome to idol hell.
Maybe we shouldn't speak of NMB in generations anymore but Team N, Team M and kenkyuusei(including 3rd gen). There are not going to be any kenyuuseis in the senbatsu, of that I am certain. The main issue is the balance between Team N and M.
Management would probably want to push the new Team M a bit but to what extent.
To me, N is the best team in all of xxx48 so to sacrifice any of them feels...
but Team M has some kick ass membert too...
To make me satisfied they have to increase the number of members in the senbatsu... but if they add more members many of them will disappear in the crowd and that isn't doing anything good for anyone... so, 16 as before, maybe that is the magic number after all.
Who is rock solid for senbatsu in this single? (without any emotions involved just rational thinking)
Team N: Yamamoto Sayaka, Watanabe Miyuki, Yamada Nana, Ogasawara Mayu, Fukumoto Aina
Team M: Jo Eriko, Kinoshita Momoka, Shimada Rena
...and now the traum begins...
When I think about it, it would be very interesting if they made this (...or one in the future) single a battle between Team N and Team M. All of the members got to participate... don't know really, have to think about this sulution. Kind of rap battle...ish, but with idols... the PV would be awesome.
Seriously... I have to finish this reply now... this is taking forever
