    Probably yes, it's coincidental, if you are implying that there's some chance the KKS stage setlist will consist of (or include) whatever songs may be revealed with the new batch of Kyoraku's release, like it happened beforehand with NIII's Hokori no Oka.
    Think about it like this: cadets usually get to train for their jobs using battered, overused and long decommissioned tools, not the latest models thereof.
    Reading around the comments from fans, it seems the sentiment is more like that they hope it won't turn out to be yet another Party ga Hajimaru yo, in any case.

    The red checkered costume is already synonymous with Team NIII, so I hope they will get the rest of the Team 3rd Surprise songs.

    Yes, you pretty much guessed correctly. Both varieties of bread received a favorable reception, but as part of the contest Lawson ran a survey of sorts among customers (and also asked for veteran breadmaker specialists for a decisive evaluation) and it turned out that they found the ones created by the Stuffed Salty Bread team (Riko & Reinya) to be more delicious than the ones from the Stuffed Sweet Bread team (Ogiyuka & Miyu). The prizes for the members consist of an one-year shopping coupon valid to be spent at any bakery shop at Lawson, by the way.

    For anyone interested, some more details from the promotional page for the Kanto area of Lawson, which shows also the various stages of the campaign (including how they narrowed down the initial 12 breads that the teams proposed, down to the 4 kinds that went on sale, by having the other NGT members sample them and then vote which was better between 3 possible variations of each -- you can try guessing who voted for what from the signatures):
    http://www.lawson.co.jp/area/kanto/detail/ngt48/index.html

    And for reference, here's a photo of all four bread products that the members came up with to see what they are actually like, from someone who bought them all. You can check for more clear shots of them by searching on Twitter for the tags #NGT48の惣菜パン and #NGT48の菓子パン respectively, which by the way are the hashtags that Lawson encouraged customers to use to submit their impressions.

    DoqvNRVVAAQGy15.jpg orig.jpg

    Reinya's was called "Omurice-styled Bread", it had a chicken & rice filling at its center and a demi-glace sauce to decorate the top in a zig-zag line.
    Riko's was called "Gratin & Curry" and, pretty self-explanatory, it had gratin for a topping and curry sauce for a filling. And I gotta say, adding gratin as a key ingredient was very typical of Riko, of course she had to show off to everyone her love for it some way or another... (*´∇`)

    Ogiyuka's was called "Strawberry Croissant", it consisted of a solid chocolate bar wrapped in croissant bread, covered with a strawberry-flavored frosting.
    Miyu's was called "Tricolor Cornet" and it sounds the most elaborate: it mixes melon-flavored dough and strawberry cream with the white dough, giving it the triple-colored aspect in the name (at least it does on the picture on the wrapping), while on the inside it alternates between white whipped cream and chocolate cream fillings.

    Both teams came up with nice ideas in their own right, for sure.

    ---
    Probably not the most appropiate place to ask, but now that you brough it up, that makes me wonder if you had the chance to find and buy any of them for a souvenir during your trip to Japan you had recently, Arinko? From what I know, these happen to be limited-edition products so I wouldn't be surprised if they had ran out by then... ( ´-`)

    I was able to buy all 4 varieties and I kept the plastic wrappers. I tried popoyaki, sasadango, bus centre curry rice, Italian and melon pan ice-cream.

    Is that shopping coupon unlimited purchases for 1 year? Hehe.... The girls can eat a store dry.

    As if! Is she is the only one that is bringing down the whole 48G? She is 1 out of how many girls in 48G?

    Like what @Cisalpine88 has said, most of those matome blogs are biased against NGT48. I sorta quit reading them blogs because the only NGT48 related stuff was Nakai this and that, for weeks, when it wasn't even discussion worthy or just taking things out of context.

    Someone called?

    Nah, considering that Cocoichi had a long history of collaborations with 48 groups, starting with NMB, and continuing with HKT, SKE and more recently (not longer than a few months ago, in fact) even with a group with a much minor pull such as STU, the fact they would've suddenly skipped NGT in favor of what is just an appendage of Keyakizaka isn't all that normal and kinda suspicious, in fact.
    And before anyone wishes to dowplay NGT as a potential business partner for big firms to team up with, let me point out that it turns out that since the group formation, NGT has collaborated with about 30 local companies and government agencies alone.

    Regardless of whether Nakai was a negative factor in this decision or not, because of that tweet from back in September, a problem still remains: You have to seriously be retarded in the skull to call a company directly by their name while you make up a ~funny~ story on Twitter, about how "bad" their service was to dare charging you an extra delivery fee after you didn't come to pick up their shit the first time (for fuck's sake, anywhere I look at, people with a hint of intelligence at least write "某...", "this certain..." in case they really need to speak out about a company, and I say really). Whoever in the management is answerable for Nakai's actions has to be equally retarded in the skull to let that post stay there in public view. And in turn both of them have to be retarded in the skull not to realize that said company wouldn't be willing to have any business with you after you have publicly attempted to paint them in a negative light for the ~epic lulz~ of it. This is, after all, nothing but Common Sense 101 and Business 101.

    Of course, shit such as this is done for no purpose except starting some little shitstorm for cheap attention, coming from someone too idiotically maladjusted to be able to handle even ordinary things with any kind of tact or judgement (the only claim to fame of Nakai at this point beyond that dud of a scandal -- and the only thing going for her, which wouldn't have been as bad if only she would have also been made responsible for the consequences of her actions sometimes, instead of being free to act like a yellow-bellied coward of the lowest grade while everyone else had to do damage control on her behalf, another sign of cowardice. Girl had already been given too much leeway for what was essentially a little bit of novelty camwhoring, and should have just stuck to it.).
    Too bad for her that at the time the only thing she succeeded in was becoming a laughing stock on the Internet as it usually happens -- first for not having the basic understanding of how commission fees work in this world, secondly for being absolute shit at expressing herself (a favorite passage of that net article: "Her usage of Japanese is incomprehensible. But since there's the slight possibility she might be a foreigner or a girl raised abroad who just returned back in Japan, it would be cruel of us to blame her in this regard")

    The only thing I'm thankful for at this point is that the local NGT management wised up quickly enough, as it can be seen in the promotion of the 4th single, where she was quietly removed in favor of a more appropriate lineup of members like Katomina, Ogiyuka, Hinatan, Maho, and Miharu, for the round of media interviews.
    Yuck. Publicity from her is the least thing we all need.

    @Arinko Depends, actually. Taimuzu used to be much worse in the past, in the sense it was pretty much the only matome to hold contempt for NGT but at the same time praising (or white-knighting) Nakai up to an embarrassing degree. Things changed after the scandal where the situation pretty much reversed.

    Well those that tries to praise NGT48 get told to move it to the NGT48 Matome and/or then adds Nakai into the thread which has nothing to do with her since she is never around at NGT48. Like the one talking about Takakura Moeka.... what does 'Nakai being at fault' have to do with Moeka's popularity?

    Cocoichi .... I think I MAYBE only saw 1 store near the Niigata station while I was in Niigata for 10 + 4 days. It was quite quiet the few times I passed by. Could have been more branches, but I didn't notice. With the food available in Niigata, every other store around it looked a lot more inviting.

    The official Twitter account hasn't even got around to posting the results of the tournament yet, I mean... :whistle:

    Actually, that photo of Maho that you posted was from the previous bowling tournament (the date on the trophy should make it clear), where she came in 3rd. She actually went on posting that and many others on SNS before the beginning of the games as a sign of encouragement.

    The first place this time went to Mimura Hino. No photos yet of her holding the trophy to complete the lineup, but I see Mofu shared on Twitter this little video of her on the moment she was announced as winner.

    I see. Thank you :chuffed:
    So only Mofu (or her fans) are consistent in bowling.

    I thought I might share here my NGT48 Theatre experience and getting tickets for NGT48 performances.

    The staff speak minimal English but are more than happy to help you and will guide you through the process at the Theatre. They do use Google Translate too.

    Getting tickets....
    1. Make an account at https://global-ticket.akb48-group.com/en/home/top.php
    2. Use a Japanese address and say you are resident (Reason: NGT48 has no allocation for foreign/International customers which will automatically block you from applying for any tickets)
    3. You can still put your passport as ID (I had no problem using my passport as proof of ID... so as long it is the same on as in your account when at the Theatre)
    4. If you put a Tokyo address, you can apply 'For Outsiders' tickets.
    4a. If you are female, you will have the option to apply for 'For ladies and kids' tickets.
    4b. Applications for 'For General People' tickets normally opens a few days before the performance. It is the last slot to open.
    5. You can put a credit card like AMEX to pay to the ticket if you win any of the slots. You can still pay Cash at the Theatre if you don't have AMEX or a Japanese credit card.

    Performance Day
    1. If you win a ticket directly, you will have to line up in front of the Theatre gate if you are there 2 to 1.5 hours before the performance.
    1a. Have your winning barcode on your mobile to show to the staff (not a screenshot!)
    1b. If you come like an hour before performance, and the outside line is no longer there, just show the staff at the gate your barcode and you can walk right in.
    2. If you are on a standby waiting list, 45 minutes before the start of the performance, go to the staircase (next to where the washroom is located) on the 4th floor, go wait in line there according to your standby number (they will have number ranges pasted on the wall).
    2a. Staff will come to count the number of people turned up on standby and everyone will then fall in and form a queue but still according to your standby number rank. Two staff may come around with paper cups and big bottles of a Pokka drink and Water if the waiting time is taking too long.
    2b. If some ticket winners don't turn up, the front of the queue will get allocated those ticket winners' spots.
    2c. If there still standing spots, you will get allocated a spot according to your place in the queue.
    2d. If and when you get allocated a spot to get in, have your barcode on your mobile ready.
    2e. Standby spot allocation will require cash payments for the ticket.
    3. So you got in (either point 1 or 2), you will be given a small white basket for your wallets and coins (clear your pockets for inspection).
    3a. You will be given a big plastic bag to put your backpack if you have one so that stuff don't fall out of side pockets and go missing when in the cloakroom.
    3b. Umbrellas and backpacks/shopping bags need to be put into the cloakroom. There is a charge of 300 yen if I am not wrong.
    4. You can bring in the NGT48 Uchiwa (fans), NGT48 lightsticks (penlights), keys, harmless pocket junk and your wallet (so they go into the white basket for inspection).
    5. When you get to Information counter, you show your barcode to be scanned, show your ID and pay in cash for the tickets (if not already paid by credit card).
    6. You will get an invisible stamp on the back of your right hand after you pay.
    7. Pass the stuff you cannot bring into the theatre for the cloakroom here, pay the cloakroom charge and get a tag number.
    8. Refresh your barcode page to show that you have been allocated an actual 'spot/seat' number.
    9. Follow the line to have the staff scan the barcode and check for the stamp that shows up under ultraviolet light.
    10. You will need to go through an 'airport' style security.
    10a. Pass your white basket for the staff to check
    10b. A uniformed security personnel will check you with metal detector wand.
    11. You get the basket back and you walk into the theatre.
    12. Just before the performance starts, you get the chance to return the empty white basket to the staff after you have taken everything back.

    Watching the performance in the lobby via the monitor screens
    If you are in the standby waiting list and it so happened that you missed the cut off to get a standing spot in the theatre, you will be allowed to go into the lobby to watch the performance via the monitors.
    or
    If you didn't win any tickets or standby or didn't even try at all, just turn up at the gate, and if there are not a lot of people, you might be able to get in to watch the performance in the lobby. Just ask the staff at the gate.

    During a seitansai performance, a benefit of watching the performance in the lobby even if you can't get to watch it in the theatre is, you get to buy the photo set with the piece of message from the member whose seitansai is for. That is not included if you come buy the photo set later.

    You don't have to pay to watch in the lobby, I think.

    After the performance
    1. You get to do a wave pass the members before you leave the theatre.
    1a. If you haven't returned the white basket at this point, you pass it to the staff who is collecting it just before you reach the stage to wave pass.
    2. Go join the line collect your stuff from the cloakroom.
    3. Go join the NGT48 Shop line to buy any merchandise and pay for any photo/photosets.
    4. If you paid for any photos, go collect at the Information Counter on your way out.
    5. Return the big plastic bag for your backpack into the bin near the exit.
    6. Fill in any Sentansai message cards set up by committee members of up coming seitansai
    7. If you went for the 18:30 performance, LoveLa2 would be closed by the time you get out, so you will be going out via the stairwell where the standby group lined up.


    NOTE:
    The NGT48 Shop does not open everyday.


    The NGT48 Shop will normally open to the general public on performance days from 12pm to 3pm and close before the performance (It is exceptionally busy on seitansai performance days for the obvious reasons). The queue can end up outside the gate on these days.

    Eg. Gatanee's seitansai muffler sold out before the end of the day. So fans that missed out only other option was to wait for the muffler to be available online the next day on the AKB48 Shop and before it sold out online, if they had wanted the muffler.

    I know because I was there during the General Public sales period on Gatanee's seitansai day and I didn't win a ticket or get on the standby list for the performance. I bought other goods.

    The shop does reopen for Ticket winners just before the performance and right after the performance.
    Monitor Viewers in the Lobby are given the opportunity to purchase stuff in the 1st 30 minutes at the start of the performance and also after the performance.

    There are days the Shop will open on non performance days and the opening hours are longer.
