- Both Acchan & Yuko are signed to the same agency, no wonder they both always win XD
- Ogi Pro is pretty much No Sleeves + Watarirouka (minus Lovetan)
- Ayaka Umeda is the current Tokyo Tower image girl. Her predecessor was fellow Office48 girl Ayumi Orii.
- Dimension United Group is obviously a shitty agency since nobody knows who Haruka is.
- Don't join Office48 if you want to release a PB: Sae is the only Office48 girl with a photobook.
- If you wanna become a gravure model then join Pyramid: Yukari has already released 7 IVs and 2 PBs.
- Natto Angels consists of Hori Pro girls.
- Rina & Reina had a joint calendar.

Wasamin is now mentioned on the news section of her new agency Nagara Pro (http://www.nagarapro.co.jp/top/whats_new/). I hope her artist profile will be up soon too.

This looks like a relatively small agency, which is good.

Maybe Wasamin can pair up with this girl (http://www.nagarapro.co.jp/top/artist/profile.php?id=20).

Watanabe Entertainment donates 100 million yen, launches charity project

Quote
Management agency Watanabe Entertainment is also pitching in to the earthquake relief efforts, launching a charity project called “WAE ~Wa e~ Imakoso Danketsu!” A special website for the project indicates that the WAE also stands for “Water Air Entertainment.”

The company is donating 100 million yen to the disaster areas. In addition, there are at least three other plans:

1. Starting at noon on March 18, an online charity auction will be held, involving all Watanabe Entertainment artists and including autographed personal items
2. Watanabe Entertainment will be soliciting donations from fans
3. The agency will donate the revenue received from the chaku-uta downloads for D☆DATE and the machi-uke images for 5 artists, including Nakagawa Shoko and Shirota Yu

After seeing the election results this year, a lot of us mentioned HoriPro failed.

They put all their eggs in one basket (Itano) and the result was lower than everybody expected (#8). The other HoriPro girls dropped or barely made top 40...

The question is, what would be a good path for HoriPro?

We've seen that subgroups generally boost the popularity of all its members (i.e. NY, DiVa), so maybe that could be an option? But who should be in it?
Should Itano be included to make the unit more competitive with the other subgroups?

For the sake of argument I assume Natto Angel(Z) will never become a permanent unit.

Itano Tomomi, Kasai Tomomi, Miyazaki Miho, Satou Sumire, Ishida Haruka, Moeno Nito (and Ohori Megumi and Chen Qu from SDN48)... A lot of different characters, but surely there has got to be a subgroup in there somewhere?
Title: Re: The AKB48 Agencies Thread
Post by: clockface on June 22, 2011, 09:15:28 PM
Looking back at the election list, only 2 members who are underage made the cut for senbatsu. The adult-age working girls definitely had a bit of an advantage since Watarirouka had the biggest drop being the only loli unit.

HoriPro might be buying their time with giving the girls more exposure, especially Myao who they are desperate to market as their own Sasshi. Kasai has been left to rot for too long now, and pairing her up again with Itano will look like desperation. That leaves Harukyan and Suu-chan with Kasai and Nitou which is a weird combination when you think about it.

[18:53] <Masa> HoriPro sub-unit plz
[18:56] <BarrieV> SuuCan, kasai and moeno are all so different... would be one weird unit, no matter how you combine them
[18:56] <Masa> a sub-unit would boost their popularity but i dunno if Kasai is popular enough to lead her own sub-unit
[18:56] <Masa> the other girls def ain't
[18:58] <Masa> Kasai, SuuCan & Myao would be cool
[18:58] <BarrieV> moeno would look out of place, but they will need her for the extra fansupport
[18:58] <BarrieV> oh right myao
[18:58] <BarrieV> forgot :lol:
[18:58] <Masa> ....
[19:00] <BarrieV> I can't picture them as a unit
[19:00] <BarrieV> kasai with suucan back-up would look epic
[19:01] <BarrieV> they can make music like Buono
[19:01] <Masa> i have no idea what their music sounds like
[19:02] <BarrieV> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W-aBo6RPjk#t=12s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W-aBo6RPjk#t=12s)
[19:03] <BarrieV> yeah that would be perfect. they totally fit the image.. have some ZR outfits etc

Kasai lead with SuuCan back-up doing rock based pop songs in edgy rock/pop/school girls style outfits is what HoriPro should do. The end.  XD

Aw well, I guess we can easily tell the English name if we stand on the link.

Random thoughts:
- Ami's all alone  :O2
- Yui still hasn't accepted Ogi's offer?
- Dresscode must suck as an agency

Ok. Added all of Team 4 (who are all with AKS anyway), translated the agency names (for you heathens), and sorted the list by agency/JP name. Next up: links to the agency pages for each girl, SKE, NMB, and HKT.
