• Today’s Niigata Nippo: The Niigata lieutenant governor: “There was an assault incident with a former member, but now the organization has changed. There’s a feeling like, “shouldn’t we look upon this fresh start from a welcoming perspective?””

  • “I couldn’t participate in the coupling songs”
  • “This time there is the one A-side and three coupling songs”
  • “[Of the coupling] songs one is a TDC senbatsu, one for kenkyuusei, and one for the Chicchaimon Club”
  • “I learned about it just beforehand”
  • “When I heard they were doing a TDC senbatsu song, I thought, they’re still pushing (the TDC senbatsu)!”
  • “I was really disappointed about failing to make the TDC senbatsu. I was sick when I joined NGT and when I was ranked high”
  • “I didn’t expect that TDC senbatsu to continue on into this single. I thought, so, they’re also able to get a song”

    • *TDC senbatsu: Announced last December. It was selected at a training camp. Some members were chosen even though they didn’t participate in the training camp.

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.
