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.
Story from someone named “Takemaro” who went to TIF and happened to be at the NGT performance
The paid area wasn’t full. In the free area there were some curious onlookers and some people resting under trees, so not all of them were necessarily NGT fans.
The front row was really into it. There were smatterings of applause breaking out.
From where he was standing there weren’t that many calls. Those in the front row were probably ready to be riled up, but from what he saw overall there wasn’t much excitement.
It wasn’t like people watching a game they didn’t understand at a vigil, but it’s not like he’d say there were a lot of people doing calls and stuff.
Most people in the free area weren’t doing calls, and there was sparse applause after the music ended.
He thought, the title and lyrics of the kenkyuusei song “今日は負けてもいい” [“Today it’s OK to Lose”] seemed to poke fun at the incident, you’d think that’s why they stopped their activities, yeah?
“(On-the-spot TIF report) I saw the NGT48 restart with my own eyes (Takemaro)”
From Sponichi Annex: “Tears at the return of NGT48 — Regular performances to resume at their theater in August”
The story says, “Members were suspected of being involved. Even when it was concluded that wasn’t true, the public wasn’t convinced.”, as if there were no members involved.
There’s a flood of criticism on Nakai Rika articles. All of them have gotten thousands of critical comments.
Daily Sports’ “NGT’s Nakai Rika deletes her controversial SNS post — repeatedly attacking “enemies”… just shortly after resuming on the 3rd” has over 5000 comments
From Sponichi Annex: “”Huge flare-up” at Nakai Rika saying her spouse needs to earn “¥3M a month” — To all the online criticisms, “Hey I’m talking to you””
In a discussion of “Results of a questionnaire on your image of Niigata and its charms, etc.”, according to residents both inside and outside the prefecture the worst associations are from NGT
Within the prefecture: NGT = Scandals, problems, incidents, difficulties, recently it’s a bad image
