Announced a moment ago on SR: AKB48 Group Singing Contest members from Japanese 48 groups can apply preliminaries will start during the 2nd half of November finals at Akazaka ACT Theatre on 2019/1/11, will be shown live on TBS Channel contestants can choose any song, no limitations
From TBS "Who is the most singing among the AKB 48 group members! It was decided to hold a new project "AKB 48 Group Singing Power No.1 Decision Battle" contesting its vertex with just "singing ability", which has nothing to do with popularity and luck. For review by professional musicians like music, the popularity and luck of the members are of course not related. It will be fruitful to win a crown with only the power of your own song ...! And what is the special reward given to the winning members! What? " http://www.tbs.co.jp/tbs-ch/oshirase/2018_1105_2100.html
That's great,I'm looking forward to hear the good voices in HKT like Aki and Hazuki!Another time I wish Izumi Umemoto were around for!Naopon would have been great too!
I could name quite a few songs where there's something somewhat akin to rapping if not full-on rapping, there's actually been a good number of these over the years but some have been forgotten. Oh yeah, there's also this... Personally I can't wait for this 48g singing contest, it's such a good idea as a new big event for the group. It's just really too bad that most of the best talent who could utilize a promotion like this has already graduated.
