I am happy that Hinata will be the Center. She caught my eyes and my heart since the very beginning of NGT.

I hope the MV and music is way better than last time

 

She's not going to drop the G word is she? I mean I'll know none in NGT other than Rika if she's graduating

 

Release day is out

 

Unsurprisingly, the 3rd gen girls are having their own song

Trailer (with bits of the song):

Also, more details are out, see OP

 

Some trivias:
These very HKT48 like covers (might be Sproot's influence or Universal's) have been shot in Aramigawa station and Noaetsu D51 railway park. 2 locatiions famous because they offer o view on the sea in Niigata prefecture.
The locations of the stations and steam locomotives express the feelings people have for their hometowns when they depart or return home.

There will be a commemorative Showroom on 12/01, 21h00 JST, with Nakai Rika, Homma Hinata, Sato Kairi, Furutate Aoi, Mashimo Kaho

About the related dramas, they opened a dedicated site:

I love what I heard from the snippet of it.
that's very NGT Song.

 

There is still Gata neesan and past center fujisaki

 

Kairi and Hinochan recently posted on their channel a visit to the Naoetsu D51 Railway Park so presumably that's in connection with this single:

Oh yeah I guess there's also Rika too. But then again, I hope Hinata won't graduate soon.

 

With the 4-part drama coming out, it's the perfect time to find out about some more girls

 

So far this single sounds good and the extras are nice. I glad that Hinata gets a great all round coverage. I hope NGT gets a rewind

 

Official video from TeNY TV Niigata of Ep.1 of the drama series 'Yoakemae no kanojotachi', the tie-in for the new single (which is is briefly heard over the closing credits):

NST has posted what appears to be a rather different version:


if the video does not show watch the video here

Also from BSN:


if the video does not show watch the video here

And from UX:


if the video does not show watch the video here

(As I understand it from the post by @lionel90 there's 4 separate stories? Maybe there needs to be a separate thread to keep together these and future episodes?)

 

It's 1 episode aired on each station indeed.

And knowing the huge visitors trafic in this section, let's keep it as it is.

 

From my understanding, it seem like it just 1 setting (The Diners and it's patrons) from 4 different character point of view revolving the diners to make a 4 completely different drama that plot might converge together at the end.

 

nm, correction, there are 3 episodes on each station.
