NAKED BOYZ unit launches (Male version of AKB48)
Quote:
On Thursday, Japan witnessed the birth of its biggest "ikemen actor" group. Dubbed the NAKED BOYZ, the 44-member unit is being described as the male version of AKB48, though they still have yet to prove their popularity. The members were revealed at Thursday's debut event, and talento Ai Haruna (38) showed up to cheer them on.

The 44 members, ranging in age from 16 to 30, were chosen through an audition. They will base their activities at Shinjuku FACE, where they plan to put on several performances every year. Their first major performance there will be held on November 5.

The group's website launched on Wednesday.

Right, Japan has seriously crossed a line her XD.

Not so much because of the fact that a male version of AKB48 exists, but because of the name. NAMED BOYZ, srsly? XDXDXD

EDIT : I just looked at the website and ... what? I don't get it. There are plenty of good looking Japanese men out there, and they pick these stereotypical Ikemen figures with their smaller-than-life faces and overly produced hairstyles? Kind of a letdown, since the girls in AKB48 are pretty much all good looking.

You know, I didn't get that at first. Then I tried Google-ing them, and when I got my results I went "Oh, that's what Meat Pao was talking about!". XD

THIS

Honestly I never like boy bands. They all sound like crap. Japanese , korean, whatever
But this group is just overload...
I may not listen to them but I like me some teenage boy eye candy (I'm 15 so its not creeperish)
I like my grown men though (like my fav jrockers + gackt) so 30 doesn't bother me either

I just want to hear some songs. Just in case.

On top of it all, they're all so horribly ugly.

Aren't good looks a standard for a boy group?

It's like they took everyone who showed up to the audition. Not to mention there is not a looker in the bunch.
