The Pointless *48 Musings/Rants Thread

[BerryzCelebration]

Can I just ask a question?
What the heck is the point of Nogi46?
I understand that it's a rivalry thing,but they are no way near even rivaling AKB48.
AKB48 is all the way in the millions while Nogi is in 100k. I mean,if Nogi was 500k+ category,I guess that is a possible challenge.
Hell,the sister groups even sell better than Nogi46!
So what is the point of them? To prove that ***48 is unbeatable?
If anything,I can only see Nogi46 rivaling Momusu/MomoClo rather than the group they are really supposed to rival .___.

Nogi is not "in 100k" ranges. Their last single sold 337,138 copies. That's like, 3 times as much. Which is around what HKT48 sells, who, conveniently, were the ones who had a "rival" tv show with Nogizaka.

[BerryzCelebration]

Didn't HKT lose the most challenges so far?
Oh my bad 300k .
But aren't they initially the rival of AKB48 not HKT?I mean,I guess it's okay to be against them too but...I don't really know. It's like AKB48 has no real rivals.

[Pavlova]

No one can sell even close to as much as AKB right now. They are the 48 group rivals because they also have theater shows just like them, and a senbatsu system..

[BerryzCelebration]

I think NMB48 would be the first to rise up to AKB level.

So just because they have the same shows and system they are rivals?

[Pavlova]

SKE48 sells a lot more than NMB48 does.

[BerryzCelebration]

Yeah and AKB48 used to sell lower than Morning Musume. Lets look at present day .

So I watched that AKB48 documentary No Flower Without Rain, and during that one janken tournament where Paruru won, she threw scissors literally every time. I mean, I get that at the time they were pressed on her being the new Acchan, so now I am wondering if it was rigged. It really just worked out too perfectly tbh lol.

Ah well, it shall only ever be conspiracy at best.
