[GENERAL] The Sakurazaka46 / Keyakizaka46 Thread

The stage design, lighting, and stage graphics for the 3rd anniversary are very well designed and particularly detailed. How do you think they go about planning for the stage design and graphics ? Is it all done by the management's creative team, or do they outsource the design planning to a third party ?

 

I think they have their own professional production designers. Management just hires them. But it isn’t some “third party service”.

 

Glad to hear about the Kouhaku invitation. (Yeah, I'm super not up to date, I know)
Finally a good chance to introduce the girls to my friends without forcing it
Also enjoyed the red carpet moment, you could really tell they are not used to these sort of ceremonies. Everybody was nervous like a bunch of middle schoolers. Extra hecking cute (chef's kiss)

 

@turbogig Welcome back Buddy...

 

Do the members get extra revenue/commission/bonus etc. from every concert they perform, such as annual tours, anniversary etc. ?

Also, do they have any christmas events ?

 

Do fans know the setlist for each concert beforehand ? Is it revealed before the concert ?

 

Pure hapinness, pure bliss... Right now: Watching Pon, Captain, Honosu and Renaa side-by-side with my "illegal" love (Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders)...! And doing the moves of "Otona Blue"!!!

This Kouhaku will be the BEST!

 

I'm suprised, for some reason I though they weren't performing Start Over on Kouhaku...
I'm not complaining tho
and the girls look particularly pretty

(also, NiziU too is singing my favorite song so I'm in a bliss too)

unrelated to Sakura, but since many Hybe groups are there this year I expect to see &Team there too in 2024
(and, hopefully, Also Sakura again with a secured spot, even though we may have a single spot for both Hinata and Sakura.... I'm not sure how it works)

Edit: I love Sakura but I'd pay for some of them to have half of Atarashii Gakkou's Suzuka confidence while talking and 1/4 of Milet cuteness lol It will be a good Kouhaku

I think they revealed some more stuff, like the official title etc, but I just checked and I created the wiki page for this with tour dates and venues on January 31st. I don't remember where I got the info from though. Was it maybe announced at the BACKS Live or Yuipon's gradcon?
