    A friend argued this is not always good. Winning Rikuawa could be good but good sales and MST appearance would be better. Has NGT48 made solo appearance on MST before?

    Well, when I could travel to Japan, I'd buy handshake tickets with Yuka of NGT48 single, double the amount handshake tickets with her of AKB48 single if it's not sousenkyo single.

    Good points. Also remember that NGT is on a Sony subsidiary and they will be looking carefully at the sales, remember SDN48 folded mainly because their single sales weren't good enough.

    Doing well in Request Hour is something that fans can brag about but it doesn't gain Sony any money, instead King records profits from that.

    Yeah I've heard that someone, I believe on 2ch begging AKS/Aki-P to disband NGT48 because of poor sales. Well, we've seen that STU48 1st single had better sales than NGT48 3rd. NGT48 RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT YOUR GROUP SALES NOW.

    Are NGT48's sales very bad compared to other sister groups? Why didn't they compared STU48's 1st to NGT48's 1st? The 1st single will always do very well for a group because it is NEW.

    I gather from reading old posts and news links, NGT48 was never envisioned to be this popular. It was more like, here we set your group up, if you fail it is your own fault. Why do you think out of the whole 48G, NGT48 was the slowest group to have a 1st single?

    Ariola Japan is a sub label of SME, so SME from the start did not expect great things from NGT48. If NGT48 fails to sell, it doesn't affect their main parent label much. SME can always choose to let go of NGT48 like how they did with AKB48 and let another recording label take over.

    NGT48 on the whole has rekindled 48G fans' fire to fight with their wallets. SSK and Request Hour voting have gone crazy which translates into money for AKS. AKS is not going to kill off a dark horse that is currently making people spend money because people don't want NGT48 to win.

    So the argument that NGT48 should be disbanded because of poor sales is kind of invalid.

    STU48's 2nd single, when it does come out, will make the sales go through the roof. Not to say it was intentional, but having nothing for a year, fans are hungry for a new release. When that comes out will it be compared to NGT48's 4th or 5th Single?

    As a promotional vehicle for Niigata while being managed by AKS, NGT48 has placed 'Idols' into better light as useful and beneficial sub culture. The Niigata prefectural government has seen economic and recognition benefits the short time NGT48 has been around.

    The Niigata locals are supportive in one way or another of the work NGT48 does within and outside of Niigata. The mayor of Niigata jokingly said he is like not just the Mayor of Niigata but of the world, during the 2nd Gen reveal concert.

    NGT48 was the smallest group for the nearly the first 3 years of it's existence. The management and the local government have concluded that NGT48 is not going to disappear anytime soon. It is ready for expansion and needs more members as it heads into the second chapter of its existence.

    TeNY's NGT48 no Niigata Furendo programming is being syndicated outside of Niigata. Sony is a sponsor, so they know there is interest in the group and Niigata. BSN Radio jokingly twittered, what about syndicating their programming too.

    How far the reach of NGT48 is, is how far people feel Niigata's own reach will be. Disbanding of the group will cause a backlash from fans and the people of Niigata. AKS' and Sony's reputations will not come out of it unscathed.

    I buy NGT48 singles regardless whether the songs are good or not. I buy all versions since a sale is a sale.

    Not very bad, just not that great so far and the previous one. It's a tough fact to swallow for NGT fans.

    People compared STU 1st to NGT's 3rd was because simply they were released in parallel season for comparison. But I think it was unnecessary.

    I don't think STU 1st single did "very well" either.

    STU is probably the slowest group to have their theater and slowest to have a 2nd single.

    In the mean time, they got beat by Lilypong/Acchan/Kuumin getting married, Jurina went on hiatus and return, P48 hype to IZONE, and most importantly Sasshi's =Love is at their 4th single lol

    I agree and they are likely troll mean comments that we don't need to care about anyways.

    But the main reason why NGT wont fold no matter what imo is because they still have their PR use in the government revitalization plan which they get funds from too. (Which I agree with you completely) They are never at the point where their existence is dependent on their sales like SDN 10+ years ago which Reveen mentioned. And like you said they get profit elsewhere nonetheless.

    The preview of that can be seen in the 53rd AKB sales of STU HS slots.

    Everything will be compared so don't you worry.

    This might have been mentioned before but, the Russian girl in the MV is an actual fan or it is just storyline ?

    Arina is an actual NGT48 fan and Sony reached out to her to see if she would be interested to be included in the MV.

    Just read the first few sentences in the interview and Ogiyuka said the Russian city is like only 2hrs flight distance from Niigata. Nice.

    Then she said NGT's image is "All together" NGT48は“みんなで一緒に”という感じ

    It seems NGT48 has already started promotion of this single compared to the short 3rd single promotion.

    Anyways, there seems to be a 3-day special release week schedule
    http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/ngt48/info/499569
    2018/10/02 - 2018/10/04
    Events held in Niigata and Shibuya Tokyo.

    Looks like all members are involved.
