/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Why are SKE and HKT so different and which is the most efficient model?

SKE
Higest average age
Stressing on performance's perfection (dance especially)
Stressing on working as a single body
Strong unwillingless to perform even songs from the home agency
Strict hierarchical system, often speak in keigo
Center and ace are consolidated in the top 2
On variety they're often the wallflower type

HKT
Lowest average age
Although a bit lacking, still stress importance on MC mood and live singing
Little cohesion, more importance on individuality
First song in the tour was The Peace (admittedly Sasshi's fault)
Even the senpai get addressed with nicknames
Center position remains fluid
Variety is their second nature
