The story about replacing NHK's AKB Show with a Sakamichi show is not exactly the case. According to the show's blog on NHK, the AKB Show is indeed being cancelled, but the remaining shows to the end of March will be AKB material. The one-shot Sakamichi show is separate, showing videos that NHK had ready for a "Sakamichi Show." Info in Nogi general thread here. No word on what comes next. The show will apparently include:
23.March 23:00-0:30
・"KuroHitsuji" and "Kyun" studio performances
・concert reports
・captains talk : Sakurai × Sugai × Kumi
・members talk : Hori × Kobayashi × Kyoko

But there is also a confirmed report that the AKB All-Night Nippon weekly radio show will end and be replaced with a Nogizaka All-Night Nippon. Fuller info and sources in Nogi General thread. ANN site news.

I've also read a piece on RealSound that says idol shows need freshening, and admiring the work on HiraganaOshi, using pairs of members, particularly the Memi-Manamo pair that has been so effective. And also the recent Matsuda Konoka Presents Hiragana Keyaki Songs Athletic Meet.

I have to say, everything seems to be being done to make Hinatazaka's debut successful. March 23 is four days before the release of the single. And all the MVs that have been released seem extremely attractive. I'm imagining people who didn't know the group before thinking: "Who are these girls? Where did such talent and beauty come from?"

 

The Shibuya109 files are so cuteeeeeeeeee...
Must re...re...re..sist buying..

 

Wish they wore those white uniforms more. Hopefully they wear them for the Zip! live. Love them.

B.L.T next issue will release a Hinatazaka46 debut single special edition. The magazine also will include an interview with Audrey-san about the group and TV show.

And an amazing announcement. Only because Hinatazaka46 debut, B.L.T will publish 4 extra special edition with different covers exclusive to Lawson Entertaiment.

First time I read something like this, Hinatazaka46 is creating a big expectation in all media.

Here is the covers and the double poster pictures.

Personal note: On the cover B, Is really Hiyotan-chan 16 years old?... She looks beautiful.

Highly recommended, it was a pretty fun show.

 

@Nekko-Desu yes. I uploaded and shared the show on Mii-pan thread. But thanks to share here.

 

Huge news for Memi and Kono-chan. They will be regulars on an NHK Education TV show starting April 18. The show is part of the regular weekday afternoon programming for high schools. The 20-minutes-every-second-Thursday show will be hosted by top seiyuu Midorikawa Hikaru. The show is called "Society and Information" 社会と情報. It will deal with how computers and smartphones work, and with useful apps. It will also deal with IT and media security and morality, and there will be episodes introducing databases, etc. (source)



This show will be seen all over Japan. GanaOshi and KeyaKake are seen mainly in the Tokyo area. So it looks like a pair of Hinata-chans will have a captive audience of high-school students every two weeks, a wonderful way of spreading the group's fame to a younger audience. This kind of show seems to me to be a way for Hinatazaka46 to advance toward being a "national" idol group, accepted as part of the culture.

This follows the pair's first appearance in the educational series, on a show in the series called "Anytime, Anywhere High School Course" on March 25th at 2pm. This show will star Midorikawa-san and well-known actress Satou Aiko. Their particular episode will deal with distance education. There are apparently over 200,000 students in Japan who take their schooling by "correspondence," over the Internet, etc. This includes many young performers, whose schedule makes it impossible for them to attend school regularly. There are at least three schools in Tokyo that have set up courses specifically for young entertainers and athletes, facilitating this kind of education. The promo for the show says that in discussions, personal life and issues quite naturally arise.

The next day, March 26th, there will be another show (an episode of "How I Came to Be Immersed in My Love for...") telling the story of Hinatazaka46 as a whole, and exploring the allure of idols.　To prepare for this show, there is a survey about Hinatazaka, asking what their greatest attraction is: happy aura, friendliness, music, looks, variety, lives, other; and asking which of their songs you like best. Respondents are supposed to state name and age: free market research for Seed & Flower. This show will be on in prime time (!) for a half-hour starting at 6:55pm.

All shows on NHK's education network, not the regular main network. NHK seems to be taking a real interest in Hinatazaka. This is good.

Some posters in Memi's thread on 5ch are surprised that she should be on such a comparatively serious show. I'm not. She's actually pretty smart, as she revealed on her Showroom with Kyouko, where Kyouko admired her academic side, particularly her love for math and science. As one poster on 5ch says, if he sees Memi writing SQL (a computer language used with databases), he will weep tears of joy. And I think she is extremely familiar with life online.

I don't know Kono-chan as well, but she certainly seems like a smart and capable person to me. 5ch is referring to them as the Princess and the Prince, after this photo from the Christmas lives:



EDIT: I've made a blog post about all this, but it basically repeats this post.

And coming up on March 30, the same Hinata models will be on the runway at TGC Tokyo, and the entire group will perform. Great activity around the time the single is released. Sorry if this has been posted before, but I thought it went together with @humbal's announcement. (source)

 

Nao-chan and Miku-chan are cover girls on Weekly Shonen magazine.
