This was originally an attempt at a New Year ranking.
But it proved to be incredibly hard for me to end up with an finished ranking somehow.
Then, lo & behold, Melchizadek's Query48 Ranker came & saved the day! Props to Mel & I strongly recommend this ranker to anyone reading this!
- I have also decided to be more stringent in ranking; so the fancy chart above will only include members who I follow actively to a degree, while members whom I have good impression/a lot of respect will be excluded. Partial reason is to reduce workload (fancy chart eat up time like crazy lol).
- As a result of point two, the list above was cut to 25 members.
46/48 Group Analysis & Rankingu!!!
By Membership: How much I like the members within the groups# | Group | Description | Significant Members |
1. | Nogizaka46 | Dominates my world, making up 18 of my top 36 (exactly 50%!) including my oshi Ikuchan. | Ikuchan, Maiyan, Sayurin, Naachan, & others. |
2. | AKB48 | Strong core that is bolstered significantly by multi-group members (e.g. Jurina, Milky, etc.) | Mayuyu, Tomochin, Renacchi, Annin, & others. |
3. | SKE48 | Consists of many member that I follow, albeit most not actively. | Jurina, Rena, Yukko, Anna, & others. |
4. | NMB48 | With exception of a really strong core, most member I do not follow. | Mirurun, Keira, Fuuchan, Milky, & Sayanee. |
5. | HKT48 | Consists of many great members that have yet to leave deep impression. | Haruppi, Annya, Natsu, & Madoka. |
Organizational Analysis & Rankingu: What I think of the group style, organizational strengths & weaknesses.*This is an experimental section, & is more of a measurement of how well each group as an organization are at complementing the members.
Written below are my personal thoughts & observation, which of course can be disagreed upon.
# | Group | Strengths | Weakness |
1. | NMB48 | - Most coherent & precise dance in 46/48 family
- Large regional base (the Kinki region)
- Many media endorsement (often Kinki-based)
- Decent amount of TV Programs
- Strong double-centres
- Gangster/Subtle sexiness Image
| - Stagnant single sells
- Try too hard to be sexy
|
|
|
2. | AKB48 | - Centre of the 46/48 universe
- Massive media exposure & endorsements
- Locus of Sousenkyou Elections (ranked member appear on AKB single)
- Strong diversity (Team A, K, & B.)
- Home to the most established members of 48 family
- Able to make use of top crop from sister groups (Jurina, Milky, etc.)
- Well-known flagship TV program with loads of secondary programs
- A lot of collaboration with other artists & appearance in outside TV shows
- Greatest amount of members signed to an agency
| - Lack of coherent style/image (Three Teams with distinctive styles)
- Forefront of media criticism
- New generations generally weak in variety skills
- New generations face strong competition from sister groups
- Have to share single spaces & program time with sister groups
- Veteran members (mostly gen 4~7) squeezed by new gen
|
|
|
3. | HKT48 | - Foundation focused on local theatre & long-term development
- Relatively young membership (good for long-term)
- Strong exposure due to Sasshi's resources (e.g. HaKaTa Hyakatten)
- Infusion of veteran AKB members (Sasshi & Lovetan)
| - Relatively lack of single publishing experience
- Relatively less national exposure due to local focus
- Relatively young membership(bad for short term?)
- Possible conflict in fandom due to centre uncertainty
- Rocked by major & costly resignations (Sugamoto Yuko et al.)
- Rocked by controversial airdrop (Sasshi post-scandal)
|
|
|
4. | Nogizaka46 | - Huge pool of talent (due to large recruitment size)
- Most entertaining flagship TV program (Nogizakatte, Doko?)
- Consistent HTC Sponsorship
- Lack of Gravure (I like it this way)
- Consistent moderate media exposure & endorsements
- Classy/Elegant Ojousama Image
| - Lack of regular stage & theatre
- Lack of opportunities (especially for unders, due to above point)
- Lack of proper secondary TV programs
- Lack of Gravure (Some might not like it this way)
- Lack of regional power base (e.g. SKE in Sakae, NMB in Namba.)
- Lesser opportunities to collaborate with 48 families (less exposure)
- Awkward choreography
- Illogical senbatsu placement
- Cannot sign up to separate agency (locked to Sony SME)
|
|
|
5. | SKE48 | - Talented in variety
- Second-most established group in the 48 family
- Sophisticated dance choreography
- Influence can encroach upon the Kinki region (NMB's turf)
- Some amount of acting opportunity (e.g. Magi Radio)
- Girl next door vibe (black hair)
| - Regional base squeezed between AKB & NMB
- Very few media endorsements (likely due to the above)
- Aging of core membership
- Might lose one of two centres of AKB (Jurina)
- Relatively speaking weaker TV programs
- Team E severely shafted
