World’s First Snaggletooth Girl Group



You may have heard of the recent dental trend in Japan called tsuke yaeba, where women get their canines capped to get a crooked set of chompers. If so, you might have guessed that a snaggletooth girl group couldn’t be far behind, and here they are: TYB48.

Eighteen-year-olds Nana, Mio and Rika were chosen from a field of applicants recruited by a dental clinic specializing in tsuke yaeba. Girls with crooked teeth are generally thought to be cute in Japan, and with TYB48 as fashion trendsetters, organizers hope to encourage young women not blessed with overlapping fangs to take have their teeth cosmetically altered.

The group will have their debut concert in Akihabara on April 30th, and concert goers will also be able to pick up copies of their first CD, frighteningly titled “Mind If I Bite?”

Seriously don't see the point in ruining perfect teeth for those unless you're born with them.

Why cant some groups pick their own original name? if you are not a Aki-P's group you shouldnt be a something48!!! You dont have to add 48 to be succesful, you know...

So if you have good teeth, get it fixed so it's shit?! WHY.

Plus some yaeba is feckin UGLY. I have a little bit, (fangs and squished bottom row) and that's fine but some crooked teeth looks really awful.

Just get braces, god!

Yaeba teeth have been around for quite a while, so I don't get the big fuss now. Non-chan from Mini-moni was famous for her "special" teeth, I think she joined around 2000 so it's definitely not a brand new thing. A few years ago she had dental correction, so I guess they hold their appeal only for so long or only seen as cute for teenagers *shrug*.

The 48 thing?

Really? <_< I feel like people use these names because people will think they're another sister group like SKE or NMB...

tabbytabitha 19th-Apr-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)
erm, I had those fangs, but got them corrected in the end. It was so hard to brush, I swear

"organizers hope to encourage young women not blessed with overlapping fangs to take have their teeth cosmetically altered."

Why would they do that?! STOP!! ugh.. and the word is not blessed it's fucking cursed!

And they need to stop using the 48 thing, they look pathetic.

ikr, the whole thing is just plain dumb.
crystaltokyo 19th-Apr-2012 05:01 pm (UTC)
their teeth aren't even that fucked up.
liime_arix 19th-Apr-2012 05:03 pm (UTC)
To everyone saying that they're trying to grasp onto AKB, think of it as imitation is the best form of flattery or smth.

It's not like it's uncommon to see all sorts of businesses/groups/people use the 3 letter - 2 number trend.
iusta_rum 19th-Apr-2012 06:01 pm (UTC)
you are right, but im sure they wouldnt use the 48 number if a famous girl group didnt have it in their name. I mean, between so many numbers and you have to pick specifically 48?...and why they even have to add a number to TYB. TYB (without the 48)is cute too.
kachuusha 19th-Apr-2012 05:04 pm (UTC)
damn, if i lived in japan, i wouldn't have had to get braces and could have been an idol. but brushing was a bitch and it helped my jaw.
liime_arix 19th-Apr-2012 05:05 pm (UTC)
I think if I lived there, I wouldn't have such a complex about my teeth.
pandapaw 19th-Apr-2012 05:05 pm (UTC)
i would kill for normal teeth
i would never want mine wonkey
lilly0 19th-Apr-2012 05:13 pm (UTC)
Okay seriously, of course there is nothing wrong with such teeth WHEN it's natural!!!!! And these three girls are cute.
But this "organizers hope to encourage young women not blessed with overlapping fangs to take have their teeth cosmetically altered." is just sick!
How irresponsible!

natto_killer 20th-Apr-2012 05:12 pm (UTC)
irresponsible indeed, especially when those teeth are more difficult to maintain (harder to brush and all), so it's not the best and easiest way to make teeth free from disease. I had ones so I know -_-;;;

atarashiiyoake 19th-Apr-2012 05:13 pm (UTC)
organizers hope to encourage young women not blessed with overlapping fangs to take have their teeth cosmetically altered.

So this is a group blatantly aimed at getting young women to change the way they look?

Jesus and I thought Kpop was bad. At least they're being sneaky about it.
helsings 19th-Apr-2012 05:14 pm (UTC)
This reminds me of how much I regret not wearing my retainers after I got my braces removed because my bottom row of teeth went back to being crooked.

But I have an overbite at least, so when I smile my top teeth cover all the bottom ones. lol

Oh geez, I shouldn't have paid all that money and gone through all that pain to get my teeth fixed! I'd be famous in Japan by now!!!!!!!11one!!!

The girl in the long tie is really cute though.
