Thanks to @speranzom for help with the video transcript in my translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1596542732/ for 11/8 (Sunday).
- Rena’s tweets
- Riko’s tweet
- Ogino Yuka: “I have a dream of wanting to perform as center again” (at 48:35)
- “For Yuka, too, as part of NGT48… How can I say it…? I know that there are people thinking of me like, «There are also junior girls here, so why would you say such stuff? Hand it over to them, instead!», but yeah, naturally I too would like once again to be center of the group… Ah, wait, that is a little like, you know…”
- “Well… What to say? C-C-Cen… I have a dream of wanting to perform as center.”
- “«Wooow!»… But, yeah, so this is it. Just tentatively. Of course, there is, if just tentatively.”
- “At the beginning, expressing this aloud was something that I somewhat hesitated to… I mean, that felt hesitant for me to do, but yes…
- “But after all, after getting to meet with every one of you, I mean today, as long as there’s people who are cheering for yourself, doesn’t just about everyone wants to aim for that, am I right?”
- “It’s not that I have ever stood at the top as an idol to begin with, myself, so right now my self-confidence is, to say, steadily coming close to being none, nothing at all, I mean…”
- “In the 4th and the 2nd singles, thanks to everyone of you, I got to experience being in the center position, so it was huge fun.”
- “A long time ago, or actually, about three years back, I had proclaimed, «I want to aim to be the center!», but recently just a bit… seeing how the previous girl was shining through, I gotta wonder if I myself haven’t lost my luster after all…”
- “Everyone who isn’t a supporter of NGT surely are thinking like, «But there is no such a thing as a center of NGT anyhow»… I imagine there surely are many who do…”
- “That had been of course ever since the time around Sekai no Aozora, of course, this is the opinion that is held by lots of different people, that’s why…”
- “For a time, I ended up losing my self-confidence… For a time, I mean…”
- “Still, when I watch everyone out there, you know, I can still think to myself: Aaah, I need to give my best effort… That’s how stuff is like, right?”
- “It is a bit flustering to make such a declaration as this again after so long, I too do feel flustered. Surprising, yeah it’s surprising even to myself…”
- “荻野由佳(YUKA OGINO) 2020/11/03 22:53”
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.
Why is this here? My original announcement
