[GENERAL] THE HKT48 thread!

oooo A Sudden TDC Hall Concert involving all HKT members including Sakura & Nako on 15th Dec ?

The members are also surprised there's a concert popped out.


HKT48コンサート in 東京ドームシティホール～今こそ団結！ガンガン行くぜ8年目！～
開催日時
東京/東京ドームシティホール
・2018年12月15日(土) 開場12:00 / 開演13:00

HKT48が、12月15日（土）に東京ドームシティホールにてコンサートを開催することが２日、発表された。

出演メンバーはHKT48全員。７周年記念公演でお披露目したばかりの５期生、さらに、IZ*ONEの宮脇咲良と矢吹奈子も急遽参戦が決定した。

 

This just has to be a Haruppi comeback. Sasshi said negotiations went to the last minute so these types of events don’t get made unless there’s some big announcements involved.

 

The money not spent on a second single for 2018. They gotta burn it somehow.

 

a concert, out of nowhere, with 2 weeks left from the D-day. Wow!

 

Haruppi is still alive. She ate out with Mikurin *sheds a tear*

Somebody already talked to me about it already but how many theaters they went though again?Because at first I thought they never had their own theaters and thought they only moved once in 2016(?) since where they were was shut down but apparently they one before?Also can someone could explain the partnership with softbank is going to entail?Like does it mean that they only going to fund and own the theater and hkt will be only ones to perform there or they will also share with the baseball team or someone else!

 

HKT had one theater in the old Hawks Town Mall. That was their first theater, which closed because of redevelopment of the Mall.

Since the closing of the old theater, they rent space at three different venues (Nishitetsu Hall, Scala Espacio, and Papillion 24 Gas Hall) where they currently perform.

The new theater, opening in 2020, will be located at the Softbank Hawks stadium in Fukuoka. Or rather in a new building attached to the stadium, owned by the Softbank Hawks. The 1st floor of the new building will be HKT48's theater.

 

Thank you very much!

 

I feel like next year we're also getting only one release: Sasshi's grad single.

 

Now I really worry. Is there even going to be a HKT48 for Sakura and Nako to return to in 2 years?

 

welcome HKT to brand new chapter , im not surprised with sasshi announcing graduation tbh. even deep inside my heart i wish she hold it a little bit longer , but after how sasshi had bring to HKT ofc we cant let HKT holding her bright future career forever.

i dont know who would be the aces at least , so many fans had invested for you know WHO , all the og centers and pushes died for her.

i know i've promised to always cheering you whatever the paths you choose , but honestly with all going to happen in the future , i cant see you the same as the little cute and ambitious girl i met few years ago. im not against your choice , but every time i remember how many kind and good girls around HKT i already met , its such a painful moments to think they could be struggling in the futures since there's no ace / face anymore in the near future.

anw otsukaresama sasshiko , good luck for your future career

 

Not sure what the best thread for this is, but not many HKT threads are very active.

Just found out I got a ticket to an HKT stage at Nishitetsu Hall. I've been to plenty of handshakes but this'll be my first theater performance. Lots of information out there re: the AKB theater, but not much about HKT. Are there any tips or not-obvious things I should know beforehand? Anyone who has been mind giving me a general rundown of what to expect as far as procedure goes?

 

I went to the HKT theatre just 2 days ago at Nishitetsu Hall but can someone tell me where I can find the hall of fame with all their pictures especially since Sasshi just announced her graduation just 1 day after I visited the place...

 

^ isn't it just next to the hall entrance? Basically to the right of the door (in your 2nd pic)
At least that was where all the photos were when I was there in April earlier this yr

 

in the latest interview to the question "Will HKT be alright? Who will lead it from now on?", Sasshi said that she graduates because she thinks that HKT will be okay and that there already is a leader, she just isn't known to public yet.
I wonder who she refers to

BY GAWD KING, THAT's HARUPPI's MUSIC!

I don't know, honestly. I'm just guessing. It's been a while since I've actively followed HKT.

 

I can just imagine it now.. the second Sasshi concert at Makuhari Messe, every HKT member is on stage except one. Announcement gets made to reveal the new center for the next HKT single, and out walks Mikurin lol

 

How shady is that all the HKT members in hiatus/Izone are exactly the ones that had Kennin in AKB? Just realized this coincidence

 

I mean it makes sense.

Nako and Sakura are two of the members that management wanted to push the most so of course they were given good screen time and also had pre-existing fanbses; both factors helped ensure they got into Izone.

And Haruppu too was a member that management wanted to push. So they gave her a lot of outside work which caused her an injury and a hiatus.

All three of the members are now all in situations that directly correlate to their pushes (which include AKB kennins)
