I updated the first post on the sub-groups
My thoughts ..
If I didn't get the news wrong, the different sub-groups will get their own regular performances and national tour ..
I somewhat think that if these sub-group thing takes off .. they may finally be able to travel overseas in their own separate sub-groups ..
I have always said that smaller group get more chances of overseas performances because of the lower cost of bringing a smaller group over ..
That's why we see Wa-Suta and TGS doing a lot of overseas performances ..
It is not my speculation but was told to me by a JTB staff who told the fans in my country that its tougher for 48G to come my country because they operate with a team of 16 which is very costly..
Saying that, I always maintain skeptic about iDOL Street being able to maintain a good idea long enough for it to take off ..
Basically what happen to the group outfit with sponsors, outside group joining iDOL street, regular stage shows? just to name a few which they announce and didn't last for 4 months ..
I hope they don't just promote the 2 new songs for this autumn to winter and forgot about it when the new year comes ..
About the songs ..
For Galaxy .. I think the version Lana accidentally sang out sounds nicer .. the song kind of got over mixed .. and sound very heavy and slow moving to me ..
For Don't you wanna kiss, I think it sound Kpop-ish .. I think the other fans was commenting on that too .. while the outfit and setting look kind of right ..
The members doing it make it look kind of off as it would be visually nicer if they had the younger, sweeter and prettier members do it ..
Hmm .. maybe they switch it up as they don't want to look too Kpop-ish .. ?
Anyway .. I think I am kind of frustrated about their Showroom thing .. so this part I am ranting ...
Chanman didn't even turn up yesterday and she have fallen further to 5th place ..
She is now ..
1,067,170pts behind 1st
696,298pts behind 2nd
187,223pts behind 3rd
76,636pts behind 4th
If she continue this way, she would easily fall to 7th by end of today as she is only ..
11,004pts ahead 6th
54,257pts ahead 7th
Even if she does not get 1st or 2nd, 3rd to 5th position will get an audition for a role in the film ..
and looks like she may miss this also if she don't step up ..
The funny point ain't because she is tired or sleeping as she was still up on twitter ..
She was posting about their concert and the recent announcement, and retweeting and replying other sources regarding the same thing ..
She is not the leader of the group, and don't really need to do so much PR for the group ..
while on the other hand .. the leader of the group, Yuuki is up on Showroom and did at least a more than 2 hours show ..
The funny point is she already qualify for the finals and turn up and scored a couple of hundred thousands points with the fans throw many many Tokyo Tower at her ..
I even saw Chanman fans throwing Tokyo Tower at her ..
I think its a waste .. shouldn't they save it for the finals? ..
Or are they going to bring forward the points from the semi-final to the finals .. I am not sure but I do not think so ..so I will see when the finals come ..
Even so .. Yuuki is still 634,912pts behind 1st place .. I drop by the 1st position room and didn't see any Tokyo Tower and there was very few gifts .. which may mean her fans haven't drop their bomb yet ..
Basically the 1st position person is just doing consistent and regular showroom and she does have a good backing as her room level is 130 with 1907 follower and now have 1,540,318pts..
Compared to Yuuki's room level 35 with 1593 followers and now have 905,406pts
The funny thing is on the other semi-finals .. the 2 participant are room level 814 with 3986 followers and now have 2,037,146pts, and room level 475 with 1650 followers and now have 1060132pts ..
So the bigger hitters are on the other semi-finals and so the finals will be very tough and chances is Yuuki will lose ..
Its just frustrating that they don't plan and try to win ..
They don't come on regularly enough and compete with each other ..
They do not know how to focus .. if Chanman come on regularity and stayed longer and with the help of the other GEM fans she should be 1st now ..
and similarity the other way round .. Yuuki would still have a chance if Chanman does not have her event up ..
Now I think both of them is going to lose big ..
And they may lose some fans too as fans don't like to lose and also their lack of effort and planning is wasting the fans resource and effort which may frustrate them ..
