Single NGT48 3rd [Haru wa doko kara kuru no ka?] (2018/04/11)

These made me so happy really
Also I can't believe Yasusu sat down and wrote a song named 'Whatcha Gonna Do' lol omg.

 

The naming of the songs are so unexpected but because it is ngt, yes it does sound like something appropriate for them.

 

Yep she is branded as the flaming princess now

 

Yeah, pretty funny to include her in it. Especially considering that it has been since the opening day of the Hokori no Oka stage that she was joking about being put in the "loli category", since she gets to perform Reizouko together with Moeka & Tsugu and all. I'm really curious to hear her thoughts on it, maybe this afternoon on Showroom?

Also I know it's a bit late, but I hope you don't mind if I post this translation of the tweets. As usual, like with the previous single, there's an explanation for each unit inside the descriptions.

To be included in all Types A, B, C, and CD-only version

"Jouhatsu shita Suibun" (Evaporated Water)

Oguma Tsugumi
Kashiwagi Yuki
Kado Yuria
Kusakabe Aina
Satou Anju
Seiji Reina
Homma Hinata

By the "NGT48 Shodai Uta Senbatsu" (NGT48's First Vocal Senbatsu), formed by 7 singing divas who enjoy an established reputation for their singing prowess and soothing singing voices. The center will be handled by Kashiwagi Yuki, who'll lead and coordinate these 7 styles of singing voices, each filled with their own distinctive traits.

Type-A coupling song

"Watashi no Tame ni" (For my sake)

Kitahara Rie

The graduation song of Captain Kitahara. After a 10-year long career inside the AKB48 Groups, this will be her first solo song.

Type-B

"Ato de" (Afterwards)

Kato Minami
Sugahara Riko
Takakura Moeka
Nara Miharu

By the "Do-tennen & Fushigi-chan All-Stars" (Natural airheads & Eccentric characters All-Stars), who are far beyond the comprehension of us common people, and who are the pride of NGT48 in the whole universe for this. In terms of formation, it is going to be a Double Center consisting of Katomina & Okappa, but this is actually a mind-blowing unit where even the very concept of Center has no meaning.

Update: https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/973548146964836354
What's amazing about these four members is that when we communicated them the concept of the coupling song, all four of them reacted the same way saying "Why me?".

S-Scary girls!

Type-C

"Whacha Gonna Do"

Tano Ayaka
Nishigata Marina
Nishimura Nanako
Miyajima Aya
Murakumo Fuuka
Yamaguchi Maho

With Gatanee handling the center position for the first time, this is an unit consisting of grown-up members aged 20 and older. Even their name is "Sexy 6". The MV will feature a full display of adult charm, which would be otherwise impossible for the kiddie members to bring out.

Update: https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/973545669083320320
Sorry. We made a mistake typing the title. The correct one is "Whatcha Gonna Do" (the "t" was missing).

By the way, regarding the content of the MV, when I met Ayanyan (Miyajima Aya) at the theater on the day before the filming, she was like "Aaah~ What am I supposed to do~ My heart is already racing~", which conveys the feeling of agitation she had.

CD-only version

"Hansei Soda" (A soda for reflection)

Ogino Yuka
Takahashi Mau
Nakai Rika
Nakamura Ayuka
Hasegawa Rena
Yamada Noe

A crybaby who'll never get discouraged at anything, a fashionable backstage-room comedian, an inflammatory princess, a camera newbie whose smile saves the world, a craaazy baseball girl, and a living husky-voiced megaphone, gathered up to form the "Niigata GENKI Senbatsu". Their byname, "Sawagashii Senbatsu" (Noisy Senbatsu)?

After the coupling songs, here we'll present to you the special bonus movies.

Type-A

"Celebrating the graduation of NGT48's original captain Kitahara Rie ~I have become a Niigata woman~"

A documentary production following the footsteps of NGT48's original captain who, after her complete transfer from AKB48, took the lead in "creating a group where every member, with their roots in their home region of Niigata, will be granted their spotlight".

https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/973397598475137024
Type-B

"Trying to break the world record, at the special event for the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the NGT48 theater!"

A movie coverage giving a summary of the commemorative event for the 2nd anniversary of the theater, in which the members attempted to break the two world records for "Most contributions to a handprint painting in one hour" and "Fastest time to make 100 rice balls". In the usual style of NGT48, who does anything in an impetuous way, even the behind-the-scenes was feverish, and it will also be revealed to the public?

https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/973398137019670528
Type-C

"NGT48 Kenkyuusei 'Shita no Na de Yobeta no wa...' documentary movie"

A movie production providing a recap of the history of the Kenkyuusei members. Of course, what will be portrayed will be the story of all 10 members, not just 8.

A digest movie has been published on the official YouTube channel, so please take a look at it.

 

Sexy6 are absolutly unsexy

 

"By the "Do-tennen & Fushigi-chan All-Stars" (Natural airheads & Eccentric characters All-Stars), who are far beyond the comprehension of us common people, and who are the pride of NGT48 in the whole universe for this."
Omg i'm f*ing laughing my ass off at that part, exactly knowing what they're talking about. Thanks so damn much for translating. Awesome as always.

Well now we know why the song names are not so weird after reading those twits.

Wasn't Ayakani proud to be still called a kid and the 20s or over had to remind her that she was also going to turn 20 soon.

"Do-tennen & Fushigi-chan All-Stars" - I love how they got around grouping them together.... this unit will be gold.

 

i really like the units
very excited for sexy6 and okappaxkatomina center

 

DO we have the theater edition yet?

Is it still possible that Rie will get her solo cover? puh-lease

 

Just pre-ordered Type B! Really excited for this single and especially the Katomina/Kappachan double center B-side. The voice senbatsu is also making my heart throb, since hearing Yukirin and Tsugumin in a song together will be a bliss.

@lionel90 Would you please update the OP with the track lists and DVD bonus info?

 

Sure.
A bit more patience, i am super busy today

EDIT: done

 

Idk if I missed some info but where did you see that Ogiyuka and Rikachan are w-center for this song? :O

 

Give Noe the center! lol

 

The world isn't ready for the loudest center ever yet

I am not ready.

 

For real tho Noepii is somehow getting prettier these days and even very cute for me...until she speaks.

I vouch her for center tho

 

Ahahahah the unit is named 'Genki Selection' what else would you expect?
