" The 48 groups; love them or hate them, it’s hard to ignore them. With over 5 groups within Japan, 2 more overseas and an official rival group, the 48s are the biggest idol franchise in the world. Recently, rumors have it that the 48s will welcome 2 new groups in their family. Both based in Tokyo, and one of them rumored to be a boy group; a first in the 48 history. " - more

Hello guys,

There’s no right time or right way to say this and this decision has been hard to make. It’s something that we have thought about for weeks now due to many reasons that I won’t go in details with, but as much as Senbatsu is our baby and we have so many memories attached to it, the adventure will end here. 

There are many things we did wrong, many things we could’ve done better, and there are many things we wish were different, but our will and motivation to keep this place alive has slowly died. We pushed through as much as possible but yesterday, we came to the realization that nor Senpai nor I felt the desire to continue. We feel depressed that we have lost this sense of excitement towards the rp itself. It’s not about rping or our characters, but maintaining this place. 

We feel so bad because everybody here give their time and efforts to build their character, gain points, do events that were sometimes quite demanding... Even us, we feel a great sense of loss towards our own characters.

While it is the end of the chapter Senbatsu, we do plan on tackling a new project. It’s just a plan, nothing finalized but it should happen at one point or another. For those who wish to continue the adventure there (it will be based in Korea but still an idol rp with points, japanese characters are accepted), we have already thought about accommodating our current members by keeping their total points accumulated and fandom. If you want more information, if you want to get involved or anything, please contact us straight on aim.

We”re really sorry for this news and that things have come down to this. We have been and still are grateful to all of you for your time and dedication. Thank you a hundred times and, also, sorry even more than that.

[senbatsurp]

When you refer to 'lines' in your posts and application, what does that actually mean? I've only ever heard max/min. word count or paragraph count but never line count.

Hey there! Thank you for interest in the roleplay!

Quite simply, when you write on the text editor of tumblr, 5 lines would be 5 filled lines.

I’m sorry if it’s not clear or my explanation is vague. Just count the lines you have when writing your application. That’s all!

I. BACKGROUND

Mikki was born to an average family. When she was starting school her mother started working all throughout Europe, leaving her to be the only girl at home. This, and her own social awkwardness, lead to her being percieved as a tomboy for most of her time. She developed an affinity for gothic themes and clothing. She didnt have much friends to share it with, however, as most of her classmates started to think of her as a scary or weird girl. Nontheless, Mikki is actually quite sweet, liking cute things, and dancing and singing. She cares a lot about those close to her, but has a hard time making new friends. After her house got burned down, she decided to make a change and moved to Tokyo in order to become an idol that can encourage young people that being diffrent isnt per definition a bad thing.

From February 21 to March 13

Eligible Participants: BYS42′s First Generation Members

As announced before, the First Generation of BYS42 is getting a well deserved reward during a certain weekend of February. 

CONTEXT

Cameras started following them from the morning when they all got in the bus on Friday afternoon. Many were probably relieved to see no familiar faces in the filming crew! This, indeed, wasn’t another prank of the BYShow! The bus drove a couple of hours away from Tokyo. where a luxurious and spacious cabin was waiting for them. Even with the cold, the managers and filming crew threw a barbecue party for the boys. The first evening was filled with laughter and constant chatter as everybody slowly became closer.

SATURDAY 5AM

An alarm sound is the sweet sound that wakes up the boys as a drill sergeant waits for them at the bottom of the stairs. “ANYBODY NOT READY IN 5 MINUTES WILL HAVE TO RUN 5 LAPS AROUND THE CABIN IN PAJAMAS”

EXPLANATION

This is not an exercise and not a vacation! Instead, the first generation is in for intense hell training for two days to present a perfect performance for their debut single! Here’s the schedule:

DAY 1:

5AM to 9AM: Physical Training

10 AM to 2PM: Singing Training 

5PM to 9PM: Dancing Training

DAY 2:

5AM to 8AM: Physical Training

9AM to 12PM: Singing Training

2PM to 5PM: Dancing Training

6PM to 8PM: Performance Evaluation

8PM to 10PM: Barbecue 

10PM: Going back to Tokyo

REWARD

In order to complete the event you must either write 3 solos of 150 words on 3 different parts of the Hell Training (You can pick from physical, singing, dancing and performance evaluation) or write a thread with 6 notes minimum (3 posts per person; can be used for the 3 for 3).
