16 girls passed 2nd round in Hyogo, 12 in Okayama and 10 in Tokushima.

[megumibex]

How many finalists are there so far?

[Amoz]

Counting altogether 101 finalists and that's all. Next is the final round on March 19th.

[megumibex]

Cool, thank you!

[iwabo]

The Okayama photo won't load.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure I see the girl I mentioned in the Tokushima photo, awesome!

[Amoz]

Changed the Okayama pic. Should work now.

[iwabo]

Hmm no still doesn't. I guess because it's hotlinked from other sites? This is how it looks like here

(also, it seems the Hyogo photo features only 15 girls and not 16?)

Refreshing the page fixed it for me. So many girls going into the final round, I wonder how many they will end up going with. I feel like it has to be more than normal.

[Amoz]

iwabo, in that case you wanted the Tokushima image.

 

Also not all pictures have had all the girls that passed the second round, it's likely that those girls didn't want to (or couldn't for some reason or another) be in the pics at this point.

 

NGT started with 22, HKT with 24, NMB with 26 and SKE with 24. So around there would be my guess of how many will will pass final round.

[iwabo]

Ah I see, well I assumed the photo with 10 girls was the Tokushima one lol, obviously didn't know the missing photo only featured 10 girls as well. Refreshing didn't do anything for me (deleting cache and all that jazz) but Cio's imgur helped.

(feel free to clean up the thread from this convo lol)

 

I find it interesting though that some girls couldn't be in the photos. Wonder if this would have negative effect on the future selection. If they can't even manage to appear now (unless they were sick or had an important exam of course) it's probably not getting better at debut.

[Amoz]

Well they would all have been there because those pics were taken on the day of 2nd round for the prefecture, but there's no need to show themselves after passing 2nd round as they might not even get in. As an example, with SKE 8th gen some girls chose to appear without showing themselves and few of them still got in. Sometimes the situation might be strict school for example. It is however exam period in japan at this time.

 

A bit better image for Yamaguchi:

So we can expect about 1 in 4 girls to be chosen... that's some tough competition. Is March 19 the date for the actual final round audition, or the day they will announce the results?

[Amoz]

Date for the final round of audition.

Another notable face. Gintama Seven member Kurata Sonoko passed the second round for Okayama. However, the girl didn't resigned from the group before the cut-off date. She faked an illness to skip Gintama Seven activities and attend the STU48 meeting. She is no longer part of her group, but I don't think she'll pass since she failed a requirement.

She's the girl on the back row with the white blouse.

48G is pretty strict on the "no agency when you audition" rule so I worry for some of these girls thinking they can sneak in, they will happily remove them even if it's after they announce the winners that they find out.

The candidates will be on the showroom this week, Mar 10 to Mar 15.

Google Translate isn't really helpful. Is it something where we have to vote for the girls by buying points?

[Nichiyoubi ☆★]

^ It's a video live chat. They will stream from their homes while we can watch and listen to them. It's free.

But yes, we can buy "points" and throwing them on their "stage".

 

You can get free stars by login in, watching them, promoting them on twitter, and commenting. Every star = 1 point.

 

But you can also buy gifts with real money. A teddy bear was around 50Yen I think. 50 Yen = 50 points.

Tokyo Tower 1000Yen = 1000 points.

 

Although they also mentioned that the delivery content, point and ranking are important reference material, but not automatically decide about passing or failing.

 

 

Event is from March 10th 17:00 to March 15th 20:00
Weekdays from 17:00 to 22:00
Saturday, Sunday, Public holiday from 12:00 to 22:00

・Below 15 years old is only allowed up until 20:00

So we may finally know if Cuca's lookalike is actually her, from the background
