Instead of promoting AKB to a global audience, Aki-P (the head of AKB) brings the AKB system to different countries. So he's started JKT48 (Jakarta), SNH48 (Shanghai), BNK48 (Bangkok), MNL48 (Manila), and MUM48 (Mumbai). SNH48 is so successful it spawned sister groups in 4 other cities. Aki-P...

The Japanese contestants are AKB48 members. It's AKB members vs Korean idols. Kpop doesn't outsell top Jpop groups like 48g, Sakamichi, or Johnny's. There wasn't a single Kpop song in the top 10 in Oricon's Yearly Sale Rankings last year. In the top 50 there were 2 BTS songs and 1 Twice song...

Unfortunately for you, there's a k-pop vs j-pop survival show going on right now and the Japanese girls are winning. The top 12 form a new girl group and all of the top 3 are Japanese right now. Based on vocal/dance evaluations they're dominating as well. Here's the top 10 from the 3 evaluations...

Anyone been watching Produce 48? My girl Takeuchi Miyu has been killing it despite the lack of screen time. She just performed BTS's The Truth Untold (which she rearranged herself), it will air this upcoming episode. Can't wait to see how she does. Apparently Miyazaki Miho had an amazing...

None of y'all have anything on me.

Oh, and I forgot the absolute most bizarre part. They made a big deal about this being the first world election because they let in the sister groups from other countries. They did a whole "World Senbatsu" of Koisuru Fortune Cookie, with the center of BNK48 being the center for it. Well she...

Jurina was... something during the whole concert. From the opening minute. The first song they were coming down on "hot-air balloons", and during her solo line she started crying and couldn't get her line out. During Chance no Junban she had a breakdown and had to be carried off stage by staff...

Did anyone watch the Sousenkyo? Jurina really made an ass of herself didn't she.

https://www.soompi.com/2018/04/18/produce-48-reportedly-selects-contestant-first-center-spot/ Sakura reportedly the first center. I guess proving that Sakura > Jurina once and for all.

Kashiwagi is also a huge surprise considering her age. Personally I'll be rooting for Miyazaki Miho. She's been in the band for forever, and got a push around 2008 and then disappeared.

Looks like I'm going to have my first exposure to KPOP with Produce 48. Here are the AKB48 participants: I'm honestly shocked that Jurina and Sakura are participating. They're sending some of their best.

Why exactly are y'all not posting the biggest pop group in Asia?

Unanimous 30-26 is "interesting" to you? lol

It seems like the only GOAT contender to go out on a high note is GSP. Silva and Jones are both PED users. Fedor had a terrible stretch to end his career.

Can someone who is more familiar with the relevant laws shed some light on this? Could Jones get a prison sentence for violation his probation based on a USADA test?

It's an out-of-competition test. Recreational drugs aren't banned out-of-comp.

Considering your avatar, I'd say you're probably a bit biased.

He was caught in an out-of-competition test in June. Recreational drugs like cocaine aren't tested out-of-competition. Likely PEDs or some other violation, but not coke.

Assuming that Jones was popped for PEDs, which is the only likely outcome. Does this lower their GOAT rankings in your eyes? Do you take that into consideration as part of their legacies?

These rankings are really the only objective ones in the sport.
