Nogizaka's music is better .

[Sohee]

Still doesn't change the formula. :b

[Starra]

They don't have teams though .

[Sohee]

Yeah because... the teams are really the biggest importance to why AKB is so popular...

[Starra]

Lol I'm just being technical.

Idk, I see Nogizaka as separate enough from *48. They don't attend the *48 group concerts/events, they don't participate in the elections, etc.

[Sohee]

They ARE separate, but they still have the same base? Big girl group, representing a place, same producer, same type of songs... it's just a matter of time before they start with senbatsu and elections too. Unless they have already.

[Starra]

They have senbatsu, but not elections,

Idk. To me, all the *48 groups are pretty different, so .

[zam_ho]

Do they rally maintain exactly 48 girls in the group? You guys did say they have been graduations. Their numbers would have dropped under 48 right? Just asking out of curiousity

Last thing I'll say about this...

Originally, there were 48 girls in AKB (well, not originally originally, but after the three teams were formed) -- 16 in each team. Now, however, there are 64 main members (68 if you count the girls who have been transferred into AKB), and that's not counting the Kenkyuusei.

In SKE, there are 46 main members (47 if you count Ooba Mina). Although, SKE recently had 9 members graduate + team shuffles, so the number was quite different about a month or so ago.

In NMB, there are 47 main members (48 if you count Ichikawa Miori). In HKT, there are currently only 15 main members, but they only have one team (Team H). There are 39 members all together if you count the Kenkyuusei.

In JKT, there are 21 main members (23 if you count Takajo Aki* and Nakagawa Haruka) in just one team (Team J).

In SNH, there are 22 members (25 if you count Miyazawa Sae* and Suzuki Mariya*). However, they are currently holding the 2nd gen auditions, and they don't have a team.

(Girls marked with "*" are ones who are stopping activities in their transfer groups soon.)

And that's all I'll say about AKB in this thread ever again.

(I'm sorry I'm just giving answers I really didn't want to continue with the AKB discussion.)
