    Not sure how I feel about this, the whole concept started so weird, and now it's separate from the 48g but not really.
    Since they are working together in some things, but they cannot enter SSK etc for some reason.

    I guess it would be nice to build the "46group" as a all stand alone thing and expand it.
    I do want Nogi46 to grow more in terms of popularity, so overshadowed even though they have so many amazing members and good songs.

    Hope it will go well for them :D

    Supposedly, it's going to be based in Aichi, which is where SKE48 is based out of. Makes sense considering SKE fans spend an incredible amount of money on their idols.

    My first impression is Akip believes Nogizaka46 is strong enough to expand and has a separate fandom from 48 group. To expand it is to regionalize the Nogizaka fanbase. Hope it works out.

    Yet another nail in the coffin of new stages for 48-groups.

    Aside from bikini-gravure they're pretty much just cloning whatever the 48-groups did, next it'll be a 46-sousenkyo. Plus half the Nogizaka girls get no work as it is, now they'll have to compete with another bunch of girls.

    Can you give me the source of this? Toriizaka is near Roppongi and not too far from Nogizaka.

    Anyway, I wonder if there will be any transfers. Most likely we'll see kennins.

    The "based Aichi" it was because someone spot a "Torii station" there, but if there's an actual place called Toriizaka then there is!

    I always express a perplexed opinion on this quantity quantity quantity policy. But team 8 was a good surprise with many members looking promising, so i will take a look on the girls nevertheless.

    I'm not following Nogizaka very well, so it probably won't change a thing for me anyway.

    i'll give the group a chance seeing that i'm a 46/48g fan but i can't reallly see how this will help nogizaka46. don't need toriizaka46 members invading nogi shows and stuff.

    This..
    It's overkill lol
    I felt the same way about NGT announcement, like, "this is not needed".
    I'll wait and see before I write them off completely of course, but in terms of 48group everything feels quite oversaturated atm and Nogi was kind of seeming like a place of refuge for some modicum of class and exclusivity :XD:

    Possibly a co-ed group but really far-fetched...

    I hope they will have a Kennin concept but only Toriizaka member who's Kennin in Nogi is allowed to participate in the single. Maybe Toriizaka members can participate in senbatsu but only Kennin gets to participate in the B-Sides. I hope Hori gets a Kennin in Toriizaka or maybe Kaz or Misa transfers to Toriizaka to help the group grow

    I actually don't mind. Better than introducing 3rd gen.

    I'm sure there will be kennins. If Misa transfers, guaranteed fukujin!:D

    If this true?? Too bad for a member who didnt select to senbatsu, they didnt have theater like 48group. So they activities less than 48group. And now they have rival, i dont think nogizaka need a sister group since less member of the group been popular in general.

    She will be top5 in Toriizaka and Fukujin in Nogi singles!!!! That would be very awesome!!! And maybe she would work more miracles there and became more popular then she ever been and eventually only NanaseMaiyan are the ones standing in her way to the top of HS sellers!!
