[GENERAL] The Nogizaka46 Thread

Did Maichun reached 30 before graduating? Ayati is almost there. I didn't realize only 5 members are older than Kubo. I also forgot Kaede is older than Ume. 3 new members are younger than Aya? So now will they stop saying 'kawaii' to everything Aya does? Maybe not.

 

https://akb48.fandom.com/wiki/Shinuchi_Mai Maichun did. Born january 1992. Graduated february 2022. Anyway, clock's ticking for YAC.

 

For a hot minute Nogizaka had a 30 year old member, but Maichun graduated soon after her birthday. Ayatii's 30th is a ways away and the way 3rd Gen is dissolving she may graduate before then. We'll have to see though.

The Kubo situation is because of the graduations of the members in Yama's and Yoda's cohort. It's the gap I mentioned.

I like the next group coming of age with Ioki-Iroha-Satsuki trio and Setoguchi and Atago. It looks to be another formidable cohort.

 

General question: Do you all know why certain members are so unpopular at miguris? When I think of Mio or Mukai, for example, I would imagine that they are fun to spend time with, but they are/were not popular.

 

Regarding responses to defamatory posts on social media about members or the group
"Thank you for your support of Nogizaka46.
We have been requesting and warning people to refrain from any actions or words that slander the group or its members, or spread unfounded rumors."

What is going? I have never seen this respond strongly from Nogizaka's management about these haters in the past.

 

There’s crazy fans that post hateful slander and I guess they’re clamping down. What’s crazy is if you like such posts legal action can be taken against you as well.

 

because bad words and slander to nogi/member will affect nogi member psychological and mental health.(a lot of nogi member are Gen-Z they are more susceptible to mental stress). Another reason is bad rumor and publication are bad for business because it can affect their sales too. Management hope by giving heavy punishment to people who post hated messages it will become a deterrent for other hater or anti to try posting hated messages and make it virals.

 

Btw, management provide an online form you can use to report the hateful and slander post on social media.
Link: https://www.nogizaka46.com/s/n46/form/question?cd=report

Use GTranslate. Also, add link and SS of the post you reported.
It is nice move from management. I'm not active on X so I don't know much about account that spread the hate. But, one of two infamous Sakamichi trolling blog/sites is gone (Nogiviola). Now, waiting for NogiLink to get the same effect.

Btw, Sakurazaka and Hinatazaka also release the reporting platform.

 

Does anyone know of a regularly updated site where the miguri (online and real) ticket sales figures of the individual members are listed?

 

Does not exist, since the number of tickets that constitute one session (部) is unknown and most likely not constant. Applies to both online and real.

 

And what about a site like this TT (@itsunogi46) / X (which lists lottery results), but beginning earlier than this one which begins only in 2024?

 

I remember this account in particular. I see the images still there if you scroll down the media tab. Interestingly, the last graphic was from around that time (2024).
I checked that account you linked and I saw one tweet where he was checking even request/response headers. He definitely is into these stuff.

 

Does anyone know if any Nogi member has ever said she likes enka or has covered an enka song on a TV show?

 

津軽海峡冬景色 (famous example) has been covered by Kubo on one NogiStar episode. I don't know if it's the same episode but they also covered おもいで酒.

 

^Yup same episode

I think it's ok to share the link if you want to watch it. And there are more shows/episodes available there.

 

Also Episode 9 of the Shin Nogizaka Star Tanjou (gen 5, 1st season) they had invited one of the "great ladies" of the Enka songs of the 70s. In this episode Terepan sang one song and Satsuki another one... Both songs were amazing (and my first introduction to Japanese enka songs). You may want to check it out...

 

Not to my memory but they've done background dancing for many such performers at Kouhaku in the past.

Nogizaka46 was created to be the "official" rival of AKB48 and I think they did wonderfully fulfill their role.

I would say that Nogi is more popular than AKB nowadays, sales wise and other aspects too.

Can someone explain me why is this the case? Did AKB fans just quit 48 groups and move here? Or what is it special about Nogi that attracts more people than AKB nowadays?
