What about a USA48?

Anyway, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

From what I understand, the JP version splits everyone into sub groups that do albums and stuff like that. If they run it like that, I think the general idea could work. That's pretty much just a record label where every now and then all of the artists show up at one place at the same time or do a collaboration track.

The concept has already been experimented (and basically failed) by a group of plagiarists.

No, of course not.

Pop, as always.

But you're still correct: pop sucks ass! Laughing

Like the Wu-Tang Clan.

But the Japanese concept wouldn't work in America because the Japanese tarento agency controls everything their slaves do. In America, the talent agency works for the singers, not the other way around.
