December 3rd (Friday)
- Sugahara Riko’s Tweets
- Hasegawa Rena’s Tweets
- Nakai Rika, referring to the incident, spoke of how “This used to be a group where there was bad blood between one another, so it was inevitable that things would have possibly come to such an end”
- “Nakai Rika: on the correlation between NGT48 years back, with their bad blood, and that incident from 3 years ago”
- “About me, I used to get into argument fights quite a lot, or actually, more so than argument fights, it’s that I had others one-sidedly being extremely, how should I say… envious about me.”
- “As in– Why, despite straining myself working so much, I still end up getting hated on by the other members so much? Why did I have to have so much stuff being told around about me personally?”
- “There was quite a lot of… ‘Ne mo Ha mo Rumor’ [note: rumors without rhyme or reason, obviously playing on the name of the latest AKB single] floating around, like things about me doing this or that stuff — that, even though I have never done any of that even one single bit.”
- “Like, for example, when there was something I had bought with the money I myself had earned, and such stuff, they would go on to say about it that «She is having a sugar daddy» — I had such disgusting rumors being said around about me…”
- “«I heard about this from that certain one», «I heard about this from that certain other»… Several girls would say to me giving a different name about which girl they got it from. «Huh? So who told me the truth? I can’t make absolutely any sense of it.”
- “I had no idea about who said that in the first place, and I still had such sort of rumors about me being passed passed around. So, with me then finding myself in the position I was…”
- “«Well, it figures after all», I would think about it right now, in hindsight. I mean, I was booked for a lot of television programs, and I also used to be selected quite often in the Senbatsu lineup, so with all that I can also understand why this desire to spout out things like that.”
- “But still, the fact is, having others say about me things I had never actually done is what I hate the most.”
- “It was all so exasperating, back during that time. So I disliked all of the members a whole lot. Although, nowadays, I do like them a whole lot instead.”
- “So, for that reason, I really, seriously hated them. I freaking detested NGT, 4 or so years back as it used to be. And about the members and such, I felt like, in all seriousness, «What? Who’s responsible for that?».”
- “I seriously hated everyone in there, honestly speaking. I’d say I used to hate every single one of them, no one excluded, back in the day, myself…”
- “That’s why I can’t help but think how I(/we) still used to be so childish back then, very very much so…”
- “I couldn’t help feeling a certain in urge to go and knock someone down a peg or two, myself. I’m someone who tends to particularly feel that way, in fact…”
- “I mean, well, I still kept having such stuff being told around about me, myself. And even the very staff was speaking around of such stuff, actually, about me…”
- “More and more, I became emotionally detached from the rest, I hated everyone’s guts, but then again…”
- “How should I put it? Being it such a group like that, wasn’t it inevitable that things would have possibly come to such an end — I can’t help but wonder within myself right now, after all…”
- “And so, I’m personally thinking that the current NGT is a group fifty billion times more easy for you to give your support to than it used to be.”
- “«There were lots of attempts at undermining each other», and so on — during that period of time I really, really thought so in fact, which is why I also tended to tell quite regularly while on television shows «I am on bad terms with the other members»…”
- “Then again, doing that would make me out to be the bad guy in there, isn’t that right? «For what reason would you go out of your way to say you are on bad terms with the members?», and stuff in that sense.”
- “«Why, wouldn’t it be because I am actually on bad terms with each other?», that got me thinking. (laughs) «Isn’t it that we are effectively on bad terms?», I thought in my mind, but fact is that right at present it’s actually not like that anymore, really…”
- “The fact that, even with such a thing going on, there was quite many fans who would give us their support nonetheless is something which I feel played a huge factor, as far as we are concerned.”
“And so, I hope we can keep this current situation going on for ever and ever.” - “But anyway, it’s not something that has to do exclusively with idols — such things happen in any organization and in any society out there, I imagine.”
- “It’s not a question of things are being like this and that just because it involves idols in particular, the way I think of it.”
- “In the past, I seriously thought about quitting the job due to the bad blood that was going on with the rest. «Then, in this case, if you don’t mind» — I used to say it very frequently, you know — «I am going to quit».”
- “And then, upon doing that, I happened to get told by Akimoto-san: «By any means, don’t, not right now». At that point, I thought very hard inside myself how I certainly did not want to quit the job with such sour feelings lingering on forever, and so I feel glad now to have kept on going on with my job instead.”
- “But all that aside, it’s because, in the end, it has turned into quite a good group now.”
- “For real — if I am the one to be telling that, it must certainly be correct.”
- “But on the other hand, if there’s one thing I have on my mind, it’s how I feel that the wall there is still between the 1st and the 2nd generation members needs to be necessarily torn down.”
- “Well, that is just that, perhaps. What has me worrying.”

- “And then, well, I have already ended up joining a group where they’re all girls inside, too.”

- Nishigata publicly exposes on an Instagram story some remark from a detractor. She comments about that on Showroom.
- https://i.imgur.com/UyUOhND.jpg
- “Back when I had that Instagram story yesterday everyone had… right… Sorry about it. Everyone had a …reaction? Everyone sure had a great reaction to it.”
- “Right. Sorry. I really, how can I say …caused people to feel worried with that”
- “When I looked on Twitter, everyone was like that –sorry (laugh), please excuse me. I feel all right. I’m gonna state it here. I feel all right, really.”
- “Right. So, sorry, I feel truly desolated. It’s all right, with me, seriously.”
- “Right. What can I say? (smiles up) Every time, it happens quite a lot that… When I open the Instagram stories, when I set up a question box, there’s always some certain person posting it to me… (smiles at us)”
- “Since that was from someone posting that that me, I find it to be astonishing, since it happens every time. So inside my mind, reading it by myself, I ended up thinking «Oh, well…»”
- “And, for that matter, seeing how that person would send it to me many and many times again, I thought, rather, if I should as well respond back with that reply, so I did, but yeah…”
- “Oh, but it’s all fine, it’s all right. I’m completely cool with it, so I took the opportunity to reply back as that.”
- “Right, sorry for all that. Seeing how everyone was feeling worried for me like that, I’m desolated.”
- “I don’t know what face this person may have, but it’s someone whose name I knew since all this time, so it’s a certain person I already knew of, in that way.”
- “But still, I — how to say — I don’t think of that person as being an anti. I mean, on the contrary, they know me up to that point, and there has to be a part inside which, rather, acknowledges myself, I wonder? (breaks out laughing)”
- “On the contrary, I felt grateful for that. Therefore, with them knowing me to that point, I rather wonder if there has to be a side of that person who understands so much about me like that.”
- “So, on the contrary, I felt at it like «Thank you for it», instead.”
- [Note: The message in the question inbox says, “No matter how much you may sell, the management still has no interest whatsoever in pushing you, you’d better look with your eyes at the reality of that.”]
