I hope they won't overdo it... also if I look at Mika or Kazuma, not even mentioning Caelan I don't see "japanese" in them at all, which I think is rather helping them than being a disadvantage...
That's similar case to miss Gao which also ain't lookin Chinese even tho she is.
In same time I hope they won't overdo it because there are a lot of fun guys there like Oscar which also should be member of group, would also like to see Hu Yetao and AK in group. Liu Yu, and Zhou Keyu also seem fine and talented.
ps: Han Peiquan should be kicked out for being crybaby, and playin diva.
Yes! This Chuang not only had Japanese but through the Japanese trainees it really broke away from the previous Chinese and Korean shows by having so many top contenders with mixed blood. The pure white guys are not having too much of an impact but Mika, Kazuma and Caelan certainly are. Somi was big in PD101 but there really wasn't any other mixes after her and none I could think of in the Chinese shows.
Curley Gao is no surprise for me when Dilareba and Guli Nazha are at the very top of China's A List. Their looks notwithstanding, they are not mixes.
I wouldn't worry about them overdoing it. Half caucasian celebrities are far more popular in Southeast Asia (especially Thailand and the Philippines) than in Northeast Asia like Korea and China. Japan has more mixes but not really in the upper echelons of their idols and actors.
I do worry about another avenue closing for SEAs if Japanese becomes a staple in Chinese shows (I don't want Girls Planet 999 where they were explicit in restricting a "global" group to only Korea, China and Japan
) -
Would like to see vietnamese in chinese shows, all though there are two half-viets in taiwenese groups. I would have a greater interest in watching chinese Produce shows if they had vietnamese trainees.
Yes, that's one of the reasons why I am so intrigued by the success of the Thais in Chinese Produces. I could see a Vietnamese being pushed to top position by a Vietnamese fans. Right now, the Vietnamese fans are voting Santa and Liu Yu. During YWY2, I read that Vietnamese raised 50K for Xiaotang. If there were Viets, those votes would go to them.
But this becomes much harder with Japanese trainees in the mix which Sunnee, Mimi or Nene never had to face (not taking away the fact they were top level vocalists and visuals.)
CPOP because of the YWY and Chuang is really the number two destination now after KPOP for exposure in Asia. Winners are then tied into the Chinese movie and drama industries (Lee Soo Man's "Asia's Hollywood".) I hope it stays as an avenue for SEAsians.

I don't think the Thais really stand a chance this season tbh. There's only 2 of them and like 17 Japanese trainees, many who are very exceptional and are basically more fit to be mentors than trainees themselves (e.g. Santa is the World's Street Dance Champion & Riki has choreographed for BOA, SHINee, Red Velvet,etc.) All of Intersection (Mika, Caelan, Kazuma) have debuted and are experienced, whereas the Thai trainees are a BL actor (relatively niche field) & a rookie actor with no previous training/experience in singing/dancing. Yes, they're doing decently well (12th & 15th as of now), but I doubt they'll make Top 11.
Rumor is Avex has an agreement with Tencent to debut as many Avex trainees as possible, so that's already 5. If there's one more foreigner, than means the group has more foreigner than Chinese trainees, which doesn't bode well for the group's future in China. Plus Hiroto is super popular (I feel it's just a matter of time before he shoots up the rank), so Nine & Patrick will have to compete with him as well, in addition to all the Chinese trainees. Yes, it could happen, but not likely I'd say. Their current position is nowhere near as strong as Sunnee, Mimi or Nene (all of whom started in a debut position and stayed there every episode of their respective seasons.)
Yes, it would be really tough for the Thais with all the Japanese talent in front of them. It actually worries me a bit if Japanese trainees will start to be in the Chinese shows on a consistent basis. I liked seeing Thais (and Malaysians) do well here as an avenue for more exposure for SEA artists. But what happens if Japanese (or even Koreans) are a fixture? I remember seeing that interview with Nene's parents last year and they had a mountain of yogurt drinks at their place. Well, what they had to compete with wealthier fans?

Unofficially so far but Japanese trainees are supposedly packing much of the Top 10 this week!
Combination of very talented members who have debuted with fan bases and who are also catching the eye of Chinese fans along with a large voting bloc out of Japan. Two Thais are within striking distance in the top 20 (but with so many Japanese in front of them, they might have a harder time making the debut team than Thai members of other seasons. )

There are a lot of fans at SNH48's theaters. They often get crowded going to the local convenience stores.

It is a matter of preference? Maybe not enough drama or simply not as familiar as the Korean Produces.
That said, I have never seen as much interest in survivals on my TW timeline before than I am seeing right now for Chuang 2021 and YWY3.
People are literally posting every minute if not seconds! And in so many languages!72A89FF3-A087-41F6-AF85-21655A0FB8F4.jpeg

Is the theme song out yet? Will the center curse continue?
The theme is not out yet but yeah let's see who the unlucky guy centering the theme would be. lol
Lin Junyi centered at PD Camp 2020 and would have made it in at #10 if they didn't suddenly change the debuting number to 7 for that single season. So fucking unfair especially since they reverted back again to 11 for the boys this season

lol. It looks like live crowd is almost 100% women?

I love it when two of my faves interact!

Seriously! I noticed this in college. Many of the foreign students from China were a lot taller than me (and other Asian-Americans. ) I was surprised. I'm 5'5" so I'm not really short. A lot of them were really long and slim like the CPOP standard.
Oh now I remember where I thought I saw your signature from. It's the girl in black on this video. Not the same girl of course but that same type of look on Chinese SM (the social experment in video is really interesting too.)

OMG! I thought I saw that kind of look before from somewhere but wasn't sure where.
I love the street fashion and dance videos from there! The girls on Douyin are really crazy attractive. Different from the KPOP, more edgy with more tattoos and variations -- the girls there look like a lot of the trainees on Chuang 2020!

Ul1ra, who is she in your sig? Is she an idol? She's very beautiful and intriguing with the tattoo (so probably not Korean), reminds me a bit of Yu Yan from The9.

Well that sucks. I might just end up focusng on Chuang 2021 and watch YWY3 later.
She's really
