I wonder if they'll do another showroom audition round ...

 

I hope that they do a showroom of some kind at least to know the personalities of the girls.

 

There will be a final round at middle of March.

 

Lol. So, I recently found out that a popular Idol Anime is doing an Idol School...on a boat! It just reminded me of STU48 so much! I wonder how they are going to do it? Maybe this can also help "guide" the way of an Idol Ship?
Aikatsu Stars! will be debuting Venus Ark in their next Season.

 

A little bit footage from the Hiroshima venue yesterday

It's also seems like they're pushing/promoting STU48 quite a bit already. The subject STU48 gets metion a lot at local TV programs/news, as I've heard.


Edit;
From the 79 girls in the Kagawa venue, 13 passed the 2nd round.

Video footage (recorded from TV, so shaky)
It's here


Alltogether we have 46 girls for the final round for now.
Still waiting of news from the Ehime venue, in which the 2nd round took place today aswell though.
And three more venues to go.

 

Wow, they're quick with photos and videos this time. I like it. Gets me hyped up about it quite a bit more. Good job finalists, Management, and Setouchi area news programs

 

We're getting a mini photo of the finalists from yesterday's Yamaguchi venue too

Apparently 15 girls passed at the Yamaguchi venue (which makes it 18 girls for the Hiroshima venue then), and therefor 5 girls who can't show their faces yet.

Spoiler

For a short overview on the finalists count:
Hiroshima venue: 18 girls
Yamaguchi venue: 15 girls (5 which probably can't show their faces yet)
Kagawa venue: 13 girls
Total right now: 46 finalists

I know one of them! Kahotaru. She has been very active in SHOWROOM and she said she wanted to enter in STU48. I hope she can enter in STU48 Her Twitter: https://twitter.com/k_0306sh

 

^ Thanks for the information. She was already talking about wanting to audition when they just announced it back in october (like almost the whole time lol). I was wondering if she would make it. It's nice to see that she's being one of the finalists now.

Edit;
It seems that 19 girls passed the 2nd round in the Ehime venue today

More in tomorrow's newspaper. They didn't said the numbers of girls who passed the nd screening, so they might be a few girls who can't show their faces yet too.


Also, there is an STU48 special feature in tomorrow's local TV program (Monday 2/20)

I wonder if we get even more footage lol

 

That Kahotaru girl looks ready to snatch the crown while she fishes.

She reminds me a bit of the famous 29 in the 16th gen audition.
Hope this one makes it though.

ANYWAY

Is it me or is it a bit weird that they're showing the girls just like that when they might not be around after the 3rd round?

Like... they show the Draft girls before the event becaue they're gonna be there anyway, but these girls?

I don't know.
If I didn't know better, it's almost as if these girls are already representants of their prefecture, and that the final round will be more to see who goes to SIII than anything else.

Also, will they go for SIII or they'll bury themselves deeper in the whole SNH debacle and just call it SII?

 

Wow. Things are shaking up in here. I wasn't expecting some finalists reveals from STU48 until for a while...good thing they're going.

 

The awkward feeling when you see their face now. Then when this is over, you see mosaic.

 

SIII, because NGT still got NIII, not NII.. That's confusing, though

 

But NIII was formed before the whole drama happened, didn't it?

But I guess if they haven't renamed it, they'll let it stay that way.

SIII it is then.

#Kahotaru4center

 

Because NIII was created before the broken relationship between AKS and SB.
I bet STU48 will have Team SII. lol

NII for BNK, please.

 

I feel like that would create the wrong kind of publicity.

Better to shrug it off and continue with SIII. It doesn't really matter in the end.

 

You know, it has been wrong since Team NIII of GNZ48 was formed.

 

I'd rather continue with SII if that's what they're going for.
