    Ya lol I searched up this song too I think it will be cool if rikachan sang it as well. The lyrics are also written very interestingly as it tells a heart broken story pretty well.

    I also think this song matches her in a comedic sense. Little cross references from her SR which you mentioned and especially the Toyama dialect misunderstanding on purpose thing lol. Its pretty fun in general.

    And of course, Rikachan was stunning as well in the mv. She nailed the kayokyouku style I'd say. Ojisans should be very happy when they get a chance to watch the mv lol

    A bit too careless..... But then, this can work in her favour.

    She should be more careful to avoid problems, no doubt about it.

    That said, yet have all other "filters" failed? Like who took the pic, who posted it and who allowed the post to be published (I know there's a quality control for mobame, not sure for the Photolog), none of them noticed that? A collective carelessness, I would say.

    I wonder if it'll be a problem since it's an NHK's show (even though it didn't happen on air) and they're known to be very strict with moral stuff.

    A.21 - Nakai Rika & Los Indios

    NGT48 Nakai Rika
    Misunderstanding with "give a good time"??
    The collaboration with Los Indios "Daiteyaccha Sakuragicho"

    November 21, 2017
    billboard JAPAN

    [​IMG]

    Nakai Rika (NGT48) and Los Indios[1] have recorded "Daiteyaccha Sakuragi-cho" which will be included as a coupling song in the Type-B of NGT48's single "Sekai wa doko made aozora na no ka?", to be released on December 6. This surprise information about this "generation gap" collaboration has just been released.

    [​IMG]

    About this project, the idea of making a new Mood Kayou song[2] with Nakai Rika and a chorus group was brought up during the production of NGT48's 2nd single, and implemented by co-starring the great chorus group Los Indios, who have been active at the forefront of the style from the 1960s until today. Also, for Los Indios, Nakai is the 10th female vocalist, since Silvia in the big hit song "Wakaretemo Suki na Hito"[3], who they co-star with.

    [​IMG]

    The shooting of the music video of "Daiteyaccha Sakuragicho" was performed at the long-established dance hall "Cliff Side"[4], founded in 1946 in Motomachi, Yokohama[5]. The music video tells the story of Nakai Rika, who comes from her hometown Toyama[6] to pursuit her dream to become a singer. She challenges through Los Indios' female vocalist audition and, after winning it, performs on the stage as the new vocalist. The members of Los Indios themselves serve as the judges and there are also some comical scenes.

    [​IMG]

    In addition, the title of the song "Daiteyaccha" means in Toyama dialect "I will pay the bill" or "I will treat you", but people unaware of that can misunderstand it with "daite ageru yo" (I will give you a good time) when hearing it for the first time. This peculiarity of Toyama dialect was purposely used. The location also took place in Toyama prefecture, Nakai Rika's hometown, where shooting was held in places that actually appear in the lyrics like "Sogawa St."[7], and also "Sakuragicho"[8], the number one entertainment district in Toyama prefecture. Nakai Rika in a red sequin dress in Sakuragicho at night is also a must-see.

    Nakai Rika's comments

    "I was surprised when I heard about this project! It made me feel happy as well as get nervous, to be participating in a solo song. The lyrics are full of Toyama dialect, so it's fun to sing it.
    Also, having the possibility of collaborating with Los Indios, who highly contributed to build the history of japanese popular music, and moreover, seeing them singing in Toyama dialect ... for someone who is from Toyama, I'm very glad.

    The shooting for the music video took place in Yokohama and Toyama, but the location in Toyama indeed brought me lots of memories back. Seeing myself inside the music video at places I used to walk in, in the city I was brought up was a magical and important experience. Even if I could go back in time and told mylself in the past that someday I would record a music video there, I probably would not be believed. (laughs)

    People of Toyama may find lots of recognizable places in the video, so I think they can enjoy it even more."


    [​IMG]

    Los Indios' comments

    "When we received this project proposal from NGT48 of AKB48 Group, we got very surprised. We thought that a member of theirs would actually enter into our group. (laughs)

    We have been to Toyama many times for work and we have even walked through Sogawa St. and Sakuragicho which appear in the lyrics but it's the first time we have known about the term "daiteyaccha" in Toyama dialect.

    Our impressions of Nakai Rika is, in a word, "cute". You know, she's like a granddaughter to us. (laughs)

    Actually I think Nakai-san is our 10th female vocalist since Silvia, the first one. We would like to sing together "Wakaretemo Suki na Hito" too. (laughs)

    Nakai Rika and Los Indios are a great combination! It's original and fun, so look forward to it. I hope we can perform this song in some stage. It would be nice if we could go to Toyama together too."

    @Humbucker, thanks for the article. That is interesting and really gives an insight to the song.

    http://wpb.shueisha.co.jp/2017/11/20/95112/

    Hey guys, it has become very cold lately. Is everybody well? Has anyone caught a cold? Today I'm going to write about "Winter"! The winter, you see, is too cold!! And Niigata is extremely cold! Is here Russia by a chance? (laughs) Well, I have never been to Russia to compare, to be honest. (laughs) But Niigata is so cold that even with the heater on at full strength it's still very cold. Moreover, since I live by myself, when I get home and turn the lights on in the frozen room, I can do nothing else but sigh ...

    On the other hand, there are things you can only enjoy in winter like eating a nabe
    [1] or other warm foods. When a girl eats a nikuman[2] like "nom nom nom", oh people do fall in love with her! Winter is the best season for girls to draw attention! Moe-sode[3] is one of their weapons! In NGT48, Homma Hinata is likely to use this technique, yep. (laughs) There are also girls that you would say "Hey, you don't have to show your white breath this much on purpose" and others who cover the face with the scarf so much to the point you say "Is your head planted in this scarf?" You can see girls doing all those things on purpose everywhere in winter and I walk in the streets annoyed seeing all them. What? What about me? Of course I do all those things! (laughs)

    However, what concerns me the most this of the year is "NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen"
    [4]. This year even more because NGT48 has made their single debut, I wonder how things will go on. I hope we can participate ... Will we be able to?


    Winter is great after all!
    You can warm up in the bathtub and relieve your tiredness!

    Don't forget Request Hour is in the same week and I think the Coming of Age ceremony itself (not the concert) is in the week before that. She'll be really busy. (Better than having to talk to the walls without work. lol)

    About her solo song, this song would have been perfect for Kojiharu to sing at AKB Kouhaku along with the Theater Managers. I'm gonna laugh if Rikachan sings it with NGT's manager as back vocal. lol

    A.22 - Nakai Rika's Solo Concert announcement

    AKB48's special program announces the solo concerts of Yokoyama Yui, Okada Nana and Nakai Rika! "What? Wait a minute!!" (Nakai)
    November 30, 2017

    M-ON! MUSIC NEWS
    Yahoo! JAPAN

    [​IMG]

    The broadcast of "Breaking News! Thorough talk about AKB48's 'up till now' and 'from now on'" was conducted through the virtual live space "SHOWROOM" on November 29 at 23:00 (JST). The participant members were Yokoyama Yui (AKB48), Okada Nana (AKB48/STU48) and Nakai Rika (NGT48).

    [​IMG]

    In the first part of the program, the three girls reviewed their activities in 2017 so far. The program started with Nakai saying "I'm sure there will be some surprise today!!" while suspecting that this broadcast was decided at the last minute. They talked about the annual Request Hour held in January, Kojima Haruna's graduation held in February and the 46th Single General Election held in June.

    [​IMG]

    While they were recalling these events, a surprise envelope was delivered to Yokoyama! Its contents revealed information about the concerts to be held at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL from January 13th to 21st, 2018. "Team 8 Selection" and "NGT48 Solo" concerts were announced, same as last year. "Yes! I'm so happy! We made it, folks!", Nakai cheered with great excitement. In addition, the concerts of "Young Members (U-17)", "16th Generation Research Students", "Coming of Age Selection", "STU48 Solo" and "Sashihara Rino Solo Concert" were also announced.

    [​IMG]

    And then, the following announcement was "Nakai Rika's Solo Concert". Nakai couldn't hide her astonishment "What? Wait a minute!!" When Yokoyama asked her "What kind of concert do you want it to be?" she responded "I want it to be twinkling and very idol-ish", revealing all "Nakai's World".

    [​IMG]

    The next envelope was ... "Okada Nana's Solo Concert"! Okada was stunned "Solo concert has always been my goal. And to think that this came so quickly ..." and although a bit troubled with her reaction, she seemed pleased.

    [​IMG]

    At last, following this trend of announcements ... the last envelope relealed "Yokoyama Yui's Solo concert" as expected. "I'm so happy! This is something I have never experienced before and in fact, my fans were demanding me for a solo concert, so I'm really happy! I'll practice a lot" said Yokoyama with great enthusiasm concerning the events in January.

    I, Nakai Rika, have signed with Ohta Production!!!!!

    I was reeealy surprised when I got the news, because you know, it was with that Oh...Oh...Oh...Ohta Production! It's the big agency which famous senior members are signed in like NGT48's Captain Kitahara Rie-san, Sashihara Rino-san, Yokoyama Yui-san, Iriyama Anna-san ... and graduated members like Maeda Atsuko-san and Oshima Yuko-san. Even I knew about it, so I hadn't ever dreamed I would sign with such great senior members' agency.

    Although I'm a bit worried and anxious about how things will go on from now on, I think I can work hard on my own way, expanding the breadth of work, doing things I wanted to do and grabbing the opportunity of finding new possibilities. Thus, I'll be glad if I can count on fans' support. I wonder if you can watch over me with an even bigger love than before. Aw, I'm anxious!!!!!

    Many fans congratulated me at the handshake event held on the day after I had announced my agency transfer. While most said "Congrats!", others told me like "Good luck in the Hot Bath*!" ... hmm? Do people think I'm a comedian rather than an idol? (laughs) I want to challenge myself to learn various things, though! Anyway, I'll do my best with full strength, so please don't abandon me, everyone!!!!!


    Photo with Yokoyama Yui (left), who is my senior in the 48 Group and
    now is my senior in the agency too. I'm counting on you from now on!

    Notes:
    Hot Bath (熱湯風呂, Nettōburo) is a well-known gag/skit of comedian trio Dacho Club (ダチョウ倶楽部, Dachō Kurabu), veterans of Ohta Production Inc. It has two patterns:

    The first one was used in a segment of an old TV show in which Dacho Club participated and it consists in the person (a guest) getting in the hot bath and sitting down over a switch at the bottom of the bathtub -- the amount of time the person can endure sitting in the hot water is the time the person can do a self appeal (for some promotional appeal).

    The second is a skit in which one of the three of Dacho Club gets on the bathtub and keep saying "Don't push me, alright?" to the other two. After the phrase is repeated the amount of time previously combined with a hand sign, the other two push the first inside the hot water, rescuing him after it.

    Sashihara Rino (also member of Ohta Pro) has challenged herself several times in the Hot Bath in all its variations:

    Pattern 1 - AKBINGO - PR for her solo single.

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Pattern 2 - Sashiko no Kuse ni - Tutorial of the skit with the Dacho Club.
