[DISCUSSION] Hope, Fear, and Predictions for Nogizaka46

Where are you getting this from? Last time I checked, AKB outsells Ngzk.

 

o rite, how could I forget, sales=quality.

 

^ He was probably just trolling.

About Nogizaka's songs, I believe since they're from different studios, their songs are usually composed by different teams, except some certain songs like Seifuku or Kimi no Kibou etc. But it's rather subjective when judging any song's quality, so it's all about personal preference. But I agree that their songs are generally better than XXX48 groups as they don't have much gravure stuff and fan service to back up, therefore they have to focus more on quality.

 

Predictions
-Maiyan will take back her position as center for the next single
-Ikuchan's solo debut......since she'll entering university this year and off course because of her potential and popularity, SME will give her that opurtunity...even if they won't i'll give her that opportunity hahaha

Hopes
-Overseas expansion........Asia Pasific tour, maybe......hahaha
-16 nin Principle(i-ii) DVD

Fears
-Hoshimina failed to control her diet and gain more weight this summer......
-Yamato leave this group before 9th single
-Management try to apeal us with more extreamly single campaign...........

 

what do u mean with extreme single campaign? isn't it a good thing if they promote Nogizaka more so more people know about nogiaka?

 

Fears.
Ikuta choosing to graduate in order to focus more in University.
Hoshimina fading more and more in the background.
Rena everywhere/propelled as center.

Hopes.
Reika or Sayuringo as center in a single during this year.
More solo/units b-sides.
Ikuta getting center for the 10th single.
Maiyan photobook (please!).

 

I'm guessing Ardhoek is referring to the promotional activities on NogiDoko that always occur before the single releases. Tbh I don't rly like them either lol. The bungee jumps are okay for me, but I quite dislike the cliff-hanging, & intensely dislike the waterfall ones. I like the earlier promotional campaign better, where they go around different places in Japan & do stuffs.

 

Question is, whether theres anything that can top bungee from macau tower, its already overseas + bungee

Whats next that can be more extreme than that bungee considering they want to push things up a notch each hit ritual .. group sky diving perhaps?

 

Ah, so it's the ritual campaign..well, actually I enjoy those rituals..Manattan's skydiving, Naachan's macau bungee..it even made me so touched

 

yes! more white high or nogi-band plz!
solo photobooks will be good, i think Maiyan/Ikoma/Naachan deserved a solo photobook.
and for 9th single onwards, i hope each songs gets a PV.

that hit single ritual begins with manatsu skydiving, so blame manatsu-san for that!
just kidding. tbh i'd rather see the girls doing promotion like in the 3rd single promo, riding bicycles around different places than doing the twaerfall stuffs. gosh, i love that hashire bicycle doko episode. they looks so adorable!

for next campaign/promotion, i'm pretty sure it's tough to topple macau bungee. maybe rafting or scuba diving? hiking & camping on a mountain sounds good, too. but first and foremost, i wanna see the girls "invade" South Korea! mark that as my predictions. lol

fears: graduations.

 

oh gosh, please don't let this happen.

i mean, i like matsui rena a lot, but not as a front girl in nogizaka.

 

FOR NOW

fears
rena centre for several single.
ikoma back as a centre.
someone graduates..so far, no one from ngzk46 that i want her to grad
the sales stagnant around 300-400k. i want them to achieve 700k to show they are capable to become top group.

HOPES
shiraishi centre for one more single.
wakatsumi yumi centre, solo, or unit. (bias much )
rena in 2nd row, doesnt mind fukujin.
all the girls 1st and 2nd gen get in senbatsu.
last but not least, all the songs are top notch in quality.

 

Hopes.

An awesome hit ritual to beat even the macau bungee!

 

Extreme? Maybe giving Himura a kiss. j/k Although not as extreme as Macau bungee, I would like to see Fujisan climb.

 

Maybe theres a chance for mt fuji, if they have time to film it

 

If the next single is released during the summer then it could be a possibility. IIRC, climbing season ends in August. As for time, typically takes a day.

 

Next single probably going to release around late july

Theres still kobetsu around early july (last round)

 

This is more of an opinion gauge than a hope, fear or prediction, but what would everyone think about the idea of giving Nogizaka46 a sister group? As likely or unlikely as it may be what would you think of the idea in principle? I can't quite decide if the idea is compatible with the Nogizaka46 concept. Also would it be based somewhere like Sapporo that doesn't yet have a group in the 48 family? Or would it be somewhere like Osaka, in order to act as official rival of NMB48?

 

This is my personal opinion, as a Nogifan. I don't want Nogi to has sister group. i don't think there's a reason N46 to have sister group. they are fine with their own now. No need to has Nogi sister group like, let's say, osaka46 or maybe sakae46 to make rivalry with AKB's sister group. I think the current nogizaka46 is already became the rival of AKB, HKT, NMB, and SKE. In term of CD sales and general public popuarity, I think Nogi already surpass HKT and NMB. 1 Nogizaka is enough. And, the current nogizaka is so good with their good quality singles and the awesomeness of the members. I'm afraid that if they create sister group, it won't be as awesome as Nogizaka46.

I don't need another group, when Nogizaka46 already makes me so happy living in idol fandom..

 

Highly unlikely nogi would get a sister group, if aki-p wants to make another idol group he probably would create a 48-group either in somewhere like sapporo or overseas.

Plus he currently has his hands quite full with all the groups already
