Event / Concert 3rd AKB48 group singing contest (2020/12/01)

I just remembered about them. Did they ever have a concert? As far as I remember, there was one scheduled for March, but I can't remember if it actually happened

 

It happened as scheduled, and they revealed the song on that day. (see the previous posts)

 

Are you talking about the two posts I quoted above? I didn't realise it was a full concert... is there a setlist or streaming link available? Or if you don't have one, what was the name of the concert? So I can search it up myself

 

I did look for a video at the time but I couldn't find one and I forgot to keep checking. However I've just checked BiliBili and there is now a video there (I assume it's OK to post the link as AFAIK it's not purchasable content):

It's nearly 3 hours long so I'll watch it when I can, hopefully in the next couple of days.

I feel like Nona Diamonds deserve their own thread but I can't decide where it would go

 

Hmm well, I thought about that too, but since it's surely going to be a one shot release, I kept the idea on hold.

 

Such a great song!

 

Nona Diamonds has released a playlist of 17 songs on the Japanese subscription streaming service AWA:

This is pretty huge! They're the Japanese representative at a Kpop festival. No other Japanese group is performing from what I can see. To send a sub-unit seems super impressive to me

 

Tonight's video from the Asia Song Festival - but it's just the MV with a special introduction from Naachan and Nao:
