Can't help but feel that we only have this discussion because people finally realized that there are more affluent fans out there.
This or someone broke one of these unwritten codes of conduct that these fandom has but only a few secretly decided upon.

The system in general, whether it's RH or SSK, doesn't forbid anybody to throw all of his money into it.
But it seems to me that it's fine, as long as
- it happens gradually (hello Mr. Frog)
- it doesn't exceed the capabilities of the average fan
- you're Sasshi / Jurina / Team 8

Personally I can't really understand what the fuss is all about. We already had voting campaigns to push certain members during RH (let's face it, it hardly is ever about the songs).
Now you may say 'Hold your horses, these fans are joining together for only one song and not for a whole catalogue!'. This is only true if the member / group of your choice has one signature song. With more it's not uncommon that there are multiple campaigns running in parallel. Usually neither of these songs will rank out high because what the fans effectively did was to split their voting power, *gg*.
'Great job team, we got *insert title here* to *insert rank here* place, and managed to have another *insert number here* titles ranked!'. Awfully familar, isn't it?

I think that fans grew tired of the whole SSK situation, where, for the past years, you needed to spend ALOT of money and time to get your member anywhere. They realized that there are fans who don't care about money and are using this to their advantage.
So they looked for the next best thing. They saw 'Hey we have RH, where we can kinda vote for our girls but without having to sell the farm' and everybody was happy while it lasted.
But since we're not in a fairytale we're also not allowed to have a happy end.
Works out that the rich fans also had the same idea. So here we have a 2nd SSK, another money hole that nobody really wants.

So should we be mad about rich fans? IMO not. They're doing the same as everybody else, only on a larger scale.
Should we be mad about the system? Maybe, maybe not. It served it's purposes for the early years but doesn't seem to fit the times anymore.
Can we come up with a new system that emphasizes equality? Sure, we already have one at hand. It's called democratic elections but it's a bit incovenient and you can't make much money out of it if you don't want to exclude fans that can't / don't want to spend much money.

Evil management, always about money. Why isn't this a charity? I don't work for free but i'm sure everybody else does. What do you mean i don't get any interest in my bank deposits? Stupid system, doesn't work...

Or we can just stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.

I totally agree with your statement.

That being said, wouldn't this make the Janken Tournament the only event that money can't touch?

*Okada Nana and Yokoyama Yui disc will include a serial code that will be used for something in the future.
*There is no buyee link for Sashihara Rino solocon (at the time of this post was edited of course)
*They uploaded one of Nakai Rika performance (Zipper) on Gyao because I believe they realized that there was no singing previewed on her solocon digest. They don't want people to think that this is a MC/talk only concert (jokingly of course) https://twitter.com/AKB48_staff/status/1047696526712037381
*changed Nakai Rika solocon cover to the correct cover. The previous picture had the color altered to be more pink (which came from Rika's instagram post). If you want that version, here's the link https://i.imgur.com/TCXn2HA.png

I can't, it says "you can't view ths video from outside Japan" (the Japanese words) with the english words "Sorry, this video cannot be watched in your region due to licensing restriction." Same for both video on gyao.
Maybe you were lucky?

ryandtw · Oct 10, 2018

Gyao's restricted to Japan only, no IP exceptions (unless for some reason you're able to run a VPN as a Japanese IP).

(But then again, unless you pay up for Gyao Premium where you'll be able to watch in 1080p, you're limited to 720p, which sucks. And is there any more restrictions when trying to sign up for Gyao Premium, aside from Japanese IP requirement to watch on Gyao?)

Maybe because you embedded the video? If I click on the link, it doesn’t work but if I watch the embedded video, it works fine

The embedded video... *ehm* is not official link. The official one is the link to gyao. Embedded link uses Dailymotion. There is one for Naachan too if you click Kangaeru Hito (or if you use tapatalk you can see it directly).

Rurouni · Oct 18, 2018

They have released a single song preview (full performance) for all the solo concert. The post is sorted based on the preview release date. Sashihara Rino and Yokoyama Yui preview just released today. This links are also posted on my original post above including the original gyao links, but since there is 5 media link limitation in this forum, only Nakai Rika being shown on that post (you need to click the link for the rest), thus I post them all again here.

Zipper - Nakai Rika

Kangaeru Hito - Okada Nana

12byou - Sashihara Rino
https://streamable.com/pzs2l

Bird - Yokoyama Yui

Remember folks, tomorrow is the release date!
*Sashihara Rino changed to streamable due to circumstances....
