Stage NGT48 Team NIII 3rd [Hokori no Oka] (2017/07/02 - 2018/06/23) & (2018/06/30 - )

So, is this the reason why SKE and (maybe) NMB didn't get the new single ? :'v Good job, Aki-P look like had adopted old style type stage again.

And yeah, Aki-P just need to make lite stage like this. Enough and Good job
So, the lite stage which has released are A1, A2 (if there isn't A1 song revived), A3 (if there isn't medley), and NIII3.
#eh ? #cmiiw

 

Team surpuse stage? new NGT stage, but not NGT songs?

 

Setlist is now officially added to the OP.

 

Article and video about the new stage from Niigata Nippo's website

Also there's this part at the end that I didn't find anywhere else, which might be hinting at some more surprises to come (KKS mass promotion? They are already on par with regular members in everything but name, after all)

一方、ユニット曲とアンコール曲で２人の研究生枠が設けられた半面、アンコールで研究生を含むＮＧＴメンバー全員で歌うという演出がなくなった。これについて今村悦朗支配人は「ＮⅢ公演にただ出るだけという時期は終わらなければならない。補欠という立ち位置をやめ、研究生を一つのチームとしてつくり上げていくため」と説明している。

On the other hand, while a spot for two kenkyuusei members was established in the unit and encore songs, the performance at the encore where all NGT members including kenkyuusei sang together was removed. In that regard, the theater manager Imamura Etsurou explains that "The time where they simply made an appearance at the NIII stage had to come to an end. This is for the purpose of ending their position as just substitutes and building up the kenkyuusei members as one team"

 

It's not unprecedented for teams to be established with less than 16 members (see ori Team 4 or current TII) but they are usually filled out with kks.

So...Generation 2 announcement on the way too?

 

Here's hoping.
Unless they do a HKT and form Team G with whatever number of KKS they have now.

 

"The new song on this setlist is actually written for AKB48 Team Surprise which will release in autumn this year, combined with original NGT48 costume and koreo. You could say this setlist is "almost original", because it has never been sung by a senior group (AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and HKT48)"
Yea right..original stage

 

So they got an original stage before HKT... Wow.

 

They're trying to ease the fact that they got an original stage before HKT48 by saying that it's not really an original stage

SKE and HKT fans are fuming in NGT48's J-fan's bulletin comment section

 

It wouldn't be fair to blame NGT for getting an original stage (however you want to define that) but it is fair to blame AKS and Aki-P.

 

there is not much PR for this new stage and what a nice surprise !!! time to track down the shonichi

 

Wait so will the Team Surprise version include 48g senbatsu members from Bara no Gishiki stage or just NGT members?

 

so happy for a new original stage!

 

Oh fudge, you guys are killing my excitement here lol. Anyways, I'm excited they're not getting a rehash of an old stage for their new stage. Looking forward to being able to watch it soon. (Especially that Katomina/Noepii duet )

 

Yea, it's not actually an original stage. It's just a new Team Surprise Stage with NGT members performing.

Basically any team can perform, but they just gave it to NIII. Which makes sense cuz the last 3 encore songs can definitely be substituted depending on the performing team.

================

btw @ForrestFuller, the M4 song should be "Hidari no Ude de Tsurete Satte". Official Twitter made a typo.

wait a minute...is this original stage or "almost original" stage ?

i am confused

 

Original stage 90%

 

well i was reading about this stage and it was suppose to be for NEW Team Surprise. It wasn't created for NGT48 specifically.

 

Yes, NGT just got the call up to perform it.
