Here's also a local news report about NGT winning at the Japan Gold Disc Awards, saved for posterity:

 

They played NGTs new song from AKBs 51st single on ANN「友達でいましょう」"Let's Stay Friends"

It was really good omg different than what I was expecting and I love it. I wonder who the center is I couldn't tell

 

I'm between Rika and Katomina, cause are the two voices i could hear on the first lines... let's wait to the MV or more information, hope it comes soon!!

What???? A 5th gen reunion???

 

YES! For Rie's graduation.

 

And Maho, Gatanee and Mofu made a surprise appearance as the main dancers in the Junjou Shugi performance, too!

I thought that was really cool how Rie's first performance at AKB Theater in March 1st, 2008 was as Kenkyuusei back up dancing to this song and then exactly 10 years later for her final stage on March 1st, 2018 she was back up dancing to it but with NGT members it's amazing. Really thoughtful and I just HAD to combine the performances together lol I posted a short ver of it (their voices sound really good together omg): https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfz1V-chNCr/?taken-by=ogiyuka48

 

Before it gets too late, I would also like to post these two interviews which were published on Nikkan Sports over the past couple of weeks (February 21 and February 28, to be exact). They're interviews with the 6 Kenkyuusei members who made it to the Senbatsu lineup for the first time for the newest single, and the content of course deals with their thoughts about taking part into it and their initial reaction when they received the news.
If anyone is interested, I will see if I can set some time aside to translate it, because there were also some interesting facts and anecdotes related to it told inside.
Anyway, the first interview is with Ainya, Reinya, and MauMau. Second one is with Miharu, Ayutaro, and Nanako.

 

Omg i would totally love to read that!!! its really hard to find information on the kks :~

 

Yes that would be amazing if you did that!! I am very interested in what they said!

 

Someone on the NGT48's summary site just pointed out that NGT48 now has the white winter coat as part of their costume collection.

 

with Kitahara graduating I kinda want Yukirin gone
there's no point for her staying tbh

 

She will be going when she feels like it. No need to fuss?

i'm just saying that it'll look weird since Yukirin is always paired with Rie on NGT songs

 

Transition time period always looks weird. Yukirin can experimently pair with Gatanee or Mahon or just by herself is all good.

I agree................
I really love yukirin, and i understand that she's important for sales, but i feel bad for the girls that could get her spot on the songs, since she always gets front row :~
