Will check her out ;)<br /><br />Just watched episode 1. <br /><br />What the fish is Jurina and Sakura there for? <br /><br />Wow! Japan got send in the big guns!<br /><br /><br />By the way, was curious and I goggled the 2018 AKB48 senbatsu. <br /><br />Like visiting the old retail outlets I've worked in to find most of the familiar faces gone...<br /><br />Of the top 16, I only recognised 6 :( <br /><br />Glad Oba Mina is getting the love. Who can say no to those eyes?<br /><br />Ha! Its the year for fans of SKE48!<br /><br />And Matsumura Kaori is centre of the undergirls!!! <br /><br />LOL! <br /><br />You go girl!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-6465291551661527932018-08-11T08:12:10.466+08:002018-08-11T08:12:10.466+08:00LOL...

You should see the legacy Milky left behind - Shiroma Miru who took over her title as the fan service queen of Kansai.<br /><br />But then Sayane just announced her graduation last week so the pioneers of NMB are almost all gone. Hopefully the batch sent to Korea can revitalize the group.

Japan and Korea joint effort!? <br /><br />Its a good opportunity for me to catch up as I stopped following AKB48 and their sister groups when Miyuki Watanabe "graduated"... <br /><br />LOL! <br /><br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-47931577312938792612018-08-10T17:12:58.838+08:002018-08-10T17:12:58.838+08:00Anyway, here's something to "waste" ...Anyway, here's something to "waste" more time for you - did you know "Produce 101" from Korea had linked up with AKB48 and is doing a run of idol reality TV named "Produce 48". Japanese idols, known for their fan service but not skills, are sent to Korea to compete with highly technical artistes who are known to literally hit the round running. <br /><br />It's interesting to see Japanese idols try to adapt to the Korean scene cause a lot of them have it in them but just needed the right conditions to bring out their best. ;)<br /><br />http://kshow123.net/show/produce-48/episode-1.htmlPatrick T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16937156072950729740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-68107907874692273122018-08-10T10:28:05.220+08:002018-08-10T10:28:05.220+08:00Thanks Patty!

This old fart couldn't help but feel inspired by the youngsters and I hope there will be more like them - that whole "we need more entrepreneurs" slogan might just be working.

Hahaha.<br />I cany remember which great investor say a little knowledge is worse than no knowledge. <br /><br />Want change, but stay at slogan shouting? Want change? <br /><br />I have seen in a international school how the vision can really be done. <br /><br />Theu focus on process. They accept different products, they want application of knowledge. Nevermind some will do it witu flying colors some will be amaterish.<br /><br />The scoring is based on process.

Just look at the Japanese brands/companies that were popular during our time but have now either been bought over, went bankrupt, or simply went into oblivion and faded out of Singapore...<br /><br /><br />Its a bit like celebrating our 53 years and assuming all we have to do is to follow the same formula by attracting MNCs to Singapore; and filling them up with study hard and work hard technicians and managers who are good at executing what they were told to do.<br /><br /><br />Those who love the "status quo" are precisely the same people who are more likely to parrot, "If you fail to plan; you plan to fail."<br /><br />They have goals, they have plans.<br /><br />Yet, they were based on straightline extrapolation...<br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.com
