[General] The AKB48 Team TP Thread

Nice to see this project moving forward! I'm really excited

More info for the wiki:

Lin Jie birthday: Feb 14, 2001
Kuo Hsing-Yu birthday: October 11, 2002

Technically, they are all still AKB48 Taiwan KKS until the test and not TPE KKS yet.

Additionally, it seems that a decision has been made to use Pinyin for the Wiki pages as opposed to Wade-Giles which is the used by the official TPE48 social media. I personally think that we should follow the Romanization used by TPE48 for consistency and add the Japanese for nicknames:

Chang Yu-Lin (なつみ), Kuo Hsing-Yu (くに), Lin Jie (りんじぇ), Chiu Pin-Han (ぴんはん), Chen Shih-Ya (みやび), Chen Shih-Yuan (ひめ)

 

if there was any transfer from AKB, i feel macharin would still be in the first line to go back there. But i highly suspect there will be like 2 people going over. (with or without macharin)

 

Macharin is definitely going back to Taipei and there was a rumor a while ago that Abe Maria was gonna transfer to TPE.

 

Even now, Macharin is still called a student that is studying aboard so I do think that management has plans to transfer her back. As for Abe Maria, it's just a rumor so I wouldn't take it seriously lol

 

I was thinking, when the other sister groups were first created, most of them got a senbatsu member from AKB transferred or at least kennin (Sasshi for HKT and STU, Yukirin and Kitarie for NGT, Naachan for STU, Sae for SNH, Akicha for JKT... and of course some more non-senbatsu members) So, maybe they will do the same for TPE48?

So, looking at this year's SSK results, the only AKB-only members in top 16 are: Mayuyu, Yuihan, and Juri. We know Mayuyu is graduating and Yuihan is soukantoku, so what about Juri? If we consider Undergirls as a possibility as well, there are also: Mion, Miichan, Renacchi, Kojimako, Sayaya and Seichan (not counting Naru since she's Team 8 member). I think it would be reasonable for the management to send one of those girls since they have some experience and star power than could help a new group. Or at least someone else who ranked in SSK at all. Macharin and Abemaru are of course a possibility, but they can't bring the star power that a ranked girl would bring to the group. I know they only sent Izurina to BNK who is also unranked but it would make more sense to send 1 reasonably well-ranked + maybe 1 unranked member to a new group to give it a good start.

 

Any other news for these girls?

 

Nothing yet... Since the announcement is on september...

 

Oh. I didn't know! Thank you!

 

TPE48 filmed something today, maybe a pr video. It's a really good news.

 

excited to watch it!

 

Can anyone translate this message from the TPE FB page? I used Google, and it sounds to me like they might be using LINE for auditions, but I'm not sure (and hope that I'm wrong) https://www.facebook.com/TPE48Official/posts/1822104298102692

Also auditions are in 1 WEEK EEP!

 

@onego123 I don't have translations but that "poster" is super cute. The only one who seems to evade me is the STU "face" girl. Is that still Takino-san? She looks more like Fukuchan...

 

According to this page, it is actually an audition for TPE48.
They might be using Line for auditions.
To do so, they applicants need to send a full photograph and half photograph of themselves.
And starting from 1st September,they will take in applicants.
The photographs must not be edited, contain special effects or filtered.
And lastly,they said believe in yourself

I don't know where you guys see that they are accepting auditions via LINE They are just asking you to add them as a friend and leaving their social medias

Yes, that is still Yumirin. It's the most well known faces from all the JPN48 groups although Rika is probably more well known from NGT even though Ogiyuka ranked higher/highest

I see people tagging their friends and most of them seem to be in college/university. Either that or pretty girls are all not interested LOL

 

Finally they have a real costume.

And a teaser photo of upcoming pr video.

 

@nokoru THAT'S ADORABLE! ^_^ Starting safe with a school uniform.
