Audition Part-Time AKB48 (53 members passed)

I'm already falling for these Baito girls..... I hope at least some of them stay and form 16th gen or something, but it's probably more cost-effective for management to keep them as unofficial members. My favourites so far are Matsuura Kaho, Kawamura Maho and Kikuchi Tomomi.

Yeah, I downloaded those LODs just to cut Baito AKB's performances.

 

My initial impression about this whole baito thing was that they were looking for girls to do odd jobs/part time as staff of akb. Didn't know they were going to be temporary performing members lol

Anyway will probably get more into them once they have an Ikumin-like member or have a PV made for them

Also wonder what made Saeki Mika join this. She could have just Jo Eriko-ed herself back in AKB if she wanted/tried. Even if she doesn't make it, it does create buzz for her again. Wonder if she's getting special treatment from management though. But then again, the other girls would hate her for that. Better to just do the senpai role among the other baito girls imo.

 

her age is too old for regular audition and the only way to rejoin AKB is through this Baito
special treatment of course.... she graduated because of long to recover injury so maybe management including AKi-P happy to see her return
but that reunion Temodemo no Namida ( really want to see this ) on Kouhaku also the only Baito member included in team tell the truth about sepcial tretment
maybe she will transfered as regular member someday

 

@kevin_vin but like you said, her age is already too old for AKB. I doubt she can get back as full member again especially since they're pushing younger and new gens now. I can see her joining this as a springboard to start her entertainment career again though.

 

but seeing how she treated by management its still possible
maybe for 1 or 2 years until she announces her 2nd graduation lol
therefore she was part of the original team B even she is a 4th gen

I already said here that some of this girls have potential (Suzuki Yumin, Koike Yuuka, Kataigi Madoka etc.). The problem with some of them, like Yumin, would be their age. Some members like Ogino Yuka, for example, are still quite young, so I don't see any problems with keeping them in the group. Anyway, officially they will continue until May (They have their contracts renewed in February for 3 more months) - which is the month of the Draft - so maybe...who knows

 

They are pretty much "Gravure AKB" I think is something natural since they have older members. I hope to see more performances from them one day (An actual stage would help).

Kataigi is super pretty Ogino and Katsumuta are the "top younger" members in my opinion. Everything about Ogino screams "idol" so I hope she succeed.

Spoiler

Nishigata has a interesting appearance, she looks very different from the other AKB members. And Suzuki is just awesome Koike isn't there, unfortunately...I like her a lot for some reason (Probably because she is the prettiest member in Baito AKB haha). Kinoshita isn't there too.


And here's a video with Suzuki and Kataigi because yes.

In my DM account (and in my Vimeo) I have some of the perfs of the Baito Girls in various stages. I'll try to upload more when I can ^^

Here's some of them (the names are in the description)

Spoiler

 

Mikachii would be such a great reunion story if she gets promoted again ^.^ Anything can happen in AKB.

 

Just want to share with you guys. They're perfs I uploaded.

why they dont get their own song like team 8?
do they going to be promote sometime? i dont understand

 

They're just "part-time", so their activities are limited. I could see them being included in the draft, but there's just no way they're going to promote all of them to teams.

 

I bet they're just experimenting to see if a certain girl really catches on so they can give her a bigger role.

 

They will perform for the first - and the last - time on the theater, apparently It will be on February 28.

How sad, I was just starting to know them. NGT48's auditions start next month, so maybe we will see someone from Baito there. The Draft auditions already ended, but maybe they allowed them to audition there. Anyway, there are a lot of members, including some very young ones. So maybe we will see some Baito AKB members one more time one day

 

Gah....I was just getting used to seeing some of them. I liked the look of Chiyoda Yui, she looked like she was having a lot of fun in the brief time that zenza girls were allotted and it seemed like she was the one making sure the other girls she was with didn't mess up. It would have been nice if they'd been given a short mc after their performance just to get to know them a little better. I was a bit surprised when I checked the wiki and saw Chiyoda is 25 which means this is probably the last we'll see of her, her time in AKB will just be an interesting anecdote she'll relate to her family in the future.

Perhaps at the show on the 28th there will be an announcement inviting those who wish to participate in AKB 16th gen auditions or NGT 1st gen auditions or something. It would have been nice to have them perform at the AKB concert at SSA or something.

 

I'm so so so angry now. Baito AKB has many interesting and potential members.

Here is list of members that will perform on 28th Feb.

It means 6 girls left before, huh?

 

I wonder if their sponsor backed out or something and that's why they didn't really do that much?

 

Koike Yuuka was right next to Madoka when Baito debuted, so it was weird to not see her around. It's now explained Their activity on the group was, indeed, pretty weird. They had a bunch of members and a minority of them actually appeared on something. And temporary members naturally back off fans. Nobody wants to get attached to someone who they know it will leave the group soon. But maybe we will have some sort of announcement on the performance, let's see.
