Akimoto's immaterial AKB48 rival group, Nogizaka46


According to various comments on the Japanese pop websites, Akimoto Yasushi has gone too far, attempting to establish another AKB48 group, Nogizaka46. Now this group is supposedly the rival group of AKB48. WTF. Are you freaking kidding me. What is the point of this. I warn him that he has already introduced three other sister groups: SDN48, the supposedly "sexier" version of AKB48; SKE48, the Nagoya based idol group; and NMB48, the Osaka based idol group. And now he has the will to go even further to make another group that consists of another 46 group of girls? Sooner or later, people are going to get confused as to which group is which.

The members of Nogizaka46 will be chosen based on national auditions starting on July 20th, according to Tokyohive. The ones who have successfully passed the auditions will be the starting members of the group.

Akimoto is also considering to create a Taiwanese AKB48 called Taiwan48, other sources say. Is this guy nuts? Hire another producer or somebody make this guy calm down and not establish any more sister groups. AKB48 is enough. This isn't the right kind of business. Remember, less is more.

先日あきもとやすしさんがまたAKB48のシスターグループをつくるみたいですね。ま、ライバルグループ、乃木坂46.

二言、なにゃこれ?

あきもとさん大丈夫ですか?もうSDN48,SKE48、NMB48、があるのしっていますかね?これから46人の女性グループもういらんやろぅ!AKBでもう十分。48+48+48+46=190.でAKBの子もいれると、238.

やりすぎだろうが!!!ファンの方々がグループを間違えるよ!

もうあたまがいたくなる。ややこしい。うるさい。きらいわ、もうAKB48の世界。
