This is getting interesting, from AKB48 daily news:
AKB48 has announced on 9 June 2016 they will remove SNH48 related banner from their web site, and claims SNH48 violated the contract.
On the other hand, SNH48 posts an official statement to response AKB48's announcement, SNH48 clarifies they are fully independent Chinese local idol group, and a star-making which is based on Internet concept platform, so it does not exist breach-of-contract action, SNH48's operation will remain unchanged.
SNH48 explains while they setup their sister groups BEJ48 and GNZ48 on 20 April 2016, they announced their original music strategy, it means SNH48 is becoming totally original.
I'm in shock....I knew things were too good to be true. I figured they would break off at some point as they are creating more original material (songs, stages, etc).
But this unauthorization is surprising to me.
Looks like I won't add SNH/BEJ/GNZ promotions and graduations to my 6 month blog updates.
Hmm...and I wonder if it's out of the question if I should still ask my friend in Beijing to get me cd's and a lightstick...

Mariyannu apparently cried on her showroom because people kept asking her about snh48, so please no one else ask her about it. She can't comment on it(obviously)
I really wish more fans - whether Japanese or international - had more sensibility about these kind of things.
SHOWROOM is an amazing feature, and I hate seeing idiots spam the girls with bullshit comments over and over. Some countries seem to struggle with having a severe lack of knowledge when it comes to netiquette - and I hate saying this as generalizations are terrible - but it's really true. People need to educate themselves about basic human interaction and conduct. Anyways, this goes for everybody regardless of country.

Anyways, SNH has a new "group", called Zan Xiu (暂休), a group of members on hiatus.
The following members in hiatus are:
Dong YanYun
Meng Yue
Zhao JiaMin (not graduation)
AND
Liu LiWei and Shen YueJiao have been dismissed from the group. Reason: They weren't popular enough.

i'm not really into snh anymore (stopped following it around february/march cuz i lost interest) but one of my friends whos still into it said shen mengyao (my fave) ranked #4 in the recent election??? i'm so happy for her omg and apparently bej48 got dissolved and the members were moved to snh so the group had a shuffle, smy's still in team h2 but ma yuling (my fave from bej) is in s2 now which is cool
because of my friend who is into snh i have been dragged back into smy stan hell after a 1 year hiatus and i forgot how much i loved her lmao
honestly i will never get tired of silent tango performances it's probably my favorite snh song and each performance is so fun. like this performance here with smy, chenke, and song yushan???? the sheer power of this one performance?????? omg when smy came out with the pigtails and the stuffed bear i nearly died from the cuteness AND THEN CK TOOK OFF HER GLASSES AND SHE BECAME BADDIE which further twisted the knife in in my gut AND THEN AT THE END SHE COMES OUT WEARING ALL BLACK WITH A GUN?????? yeah that instantly destroyed me like i just love her SO MUCH
also here are photos of smy dressed as belle the disney princess bc when i saw these on pocket i nearly cried (joke but like. it killed me emotionally in a good way)

BEJ are not dissolved, Shanghai management just poached the top 16 and a couple others and left all the less popular members in Beijing. They’re resuming performances at a different theater in November.
