• Ogino Yuka vents her discontent at her own fans
  • “48 OGINO YUKA 2021年05月30日20時50分07秒 荻野 由佳 (NGT48)”

  • “Why is it so…? Even though they know that it would get seen, they end up writing that on Twitter…”
  • “Even though they know that it would get seen, they still go on saying… «I can’t stand her stuff», «Lately she really has no enthusiasm», «Lately she has gotten so boring». Why is it, even though they know that it would get seen, that they would write that!”
  • “It’s all fine and all to think about that, but when it comes to laying it out to be visible to the person in question, fully knowing that it would get seen…”
  • “You know, about that… Even Yuka is a human being, so if someone who likes me ends up saying that all of a sudden, it feels saddening.”
  • “Even if they do it wishing to receive attention, it’s not that I can do something. Since I can’t send back a reply to them, how else am I supposed to appease them…?”
  • “If I had a way to appease them, I would. If I would be free to send back a reply, I would say «Why are you saying such a thing!», but fact is that I cannot do anything about it.”
  • “What should I be doing better…? In such situations…”
  • “«Recently I no longer have the motivation to watch her streams» and stuff… You can do without writing any of that. (shrill voice) You’re still watching this after all!”
  • “I could finally get around to saying it at last. Yes, I did.”
  • “Those things, everyone… That is really pointless stuff. You’ll have your oshimen dislike you, if you say such things. That’s not limited only to Yuka.”
  • “Therefore, please avoid writing these things.”
  • “Ufffff… Now I feel relieved.”
  • “That’s no good, to write such things. Therefore, it shouldn’t be done. Yuka, for her part, is looking even in the smallest recesses, so if there happens to be anyone writing such things I would go: Grrr!”
  • “It’s not just about myself only. That also goes for the other girls who are members, too.”
  • “«Something-chan wouldn’t read what I write, so my motivation is dropping» — If you are going to do such a thing, then please tweet it after setting your account to private. Please don’t write it in a way it would be visible to members (shrill voice)”
  • “If this would be some person who didn’t support me in the first place, some person who didn’t have any interest in us anyway, there’s nothing that can be done about it. But still, to have someone who is on your side, who likes you, writing such things all of a sudden …that’s saddening. (shrill voice)”
  • “Even us on this side are working insanely hard, you know! (shrill voice)”
  • “I got around to saying that, finally.”
  • “So please act like that in places where it can’t be seen, LINE and other places, please… (pretending to cry)”
    (After that her complaints continue on, dispassionately)

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.
