    A.17 - Will Nakai Rika become Sashihara Rino's successor?

    Nakai Rika of NGT48, big promotion as the MC of the new TV show "Hakuchuumu". Will she become the successor of Sashihara Rino ("Mayonaka")?

    October 8 (Sun) 7:00 (JST)

    Nakai Rika, Ito Seiko (c) Fuji TV

    The variety TV show "Mayonaka" (Midnight) (Fuji TV) with Sashihara Rino (HKT48/STU48) and Lily Franky finished on September 17. In this time slot (Sundays, 25:25 to 25:55 JST) the new show "Hakuchuumu" (Daydream) with Nakai Rika (NGT48) and Ito Seiko will start on October 15.

    "Mayonaka" had a total of 21 episodes and was a show in which Lily guided Sashihara, opening the doors to the nightlife she had never seen or known. A luxurious bar in Ginza, a gay bar in Shinjuku Ni-chome, a club in Shibuya, a snack bar in Uguisudani etc, along with Lily, Sashihara explored a world she had not experienced before. Some guests that appeared on the show were Mitz Mangrove, Hasegawa Hiroki, Yoshida Go. From the music field we had musicians rarely seen on a variety show like Pierre Taki (Denki Groove), Masuko Naozumi (Dohatsuten), Mukai Shutoku (ZAZEN BOYS), Hanaregumi, etc. In its final episode, J Taro, considered by Lily as the show's "main personality", arrived near the end and had a great talk with Sashihara.

    Previously, when Sashihara appeared in the "Premium Talk" section of "Asaichi" (NHK General TV), it was impressive to hear how she decides to use between formal or casual language when talking to older adults. She fully demonstrated this conversation technique in "Mayonaka" while talking to adults that she mostly met for the first time, adding some humor in the tight atmosphere of the night.

    Nakai Rika, who was chosen as the MC of the new show, is the person that served as the center of NGT48's first single "Seishun Dokei". In the "24-Hour Broadcast SHOWROOM", the pledge she had made in the Selection General Election, although struggling against drowsiness and broadcast problems, she was able to overcome the difficulties with the help of members and staff. At the end, she went out to meet the fans waiting for her at the place they arranged to and they received her with a yell in a grand finale. The present writer also watched the broadcast as much as it was possible and I think that her charm lies in her own way of expressing her thoughts frankly. It can sometimes be a double-edged sword, but Nakai's toxicity and hard work produces a unique addiction. On the other day, the DVD handover event that Nakai participated was broadcasted on SHOWROOM. The friendliness of using casual language, the timing of "carrot and stick", and her talk to enter into people's heart smartly make you understand why she is called the "fisherman of Niigata".

    Since Nakai also admires Sashihara, the appearance as MC in "Hakuchuumu" must be an honor. Despite being a late night show, having a regular program suddenly on a broadcasting television station is a big promotion. Guests confirmed for the show are Ebisu Yoshikazu and Nemoto Takashi, deep personalities of the manga world. As the title mean, the show's stage is moving from midnight to daytime, and Nakai will start, along with Ito, her journey of adulthood training. Figures of the (sub)culture, political officials, global scholars, researchers, incident investigators etc, adults with strong relation with cultural and social matters must apply a stimulus to Nakai, who has just turned 20.

    Somehow, it can also be said that Nakai was chosen as "Sashihara's successor". Armed with her talk skills, how will she face the guests with deep and strong personality? "Hakuchuumu", the show that holds the possibility for "Nakai Rika" to become a giant, both in popularity and herlsef, is a sightseeing.

    Hello! Today I'm going to talk about the "AKB48 Group Unit Janken Tournament 2017 - A bond is born with a fist!"[1] held on September 24! What? Are you telling me I didn't participate? You're right! "PINK FOLLETTA", the unit I teamed up with Komiharu-san (Komiyama Haruka), withdrew after being eliminated in the prelim ... (laughs) HOWEVER, it turned up that we would host the "Backstage Broadcast" on SHOWROOM and we even went to the venue! I'm lucky. (laughs)

    This time you could participate as a unit and the members themselves thought of its concept and costumes, it turned out being a slightly different Janken Tournament than usual! Honestly, I'm envious! I wanted to participate too!! Argh, I had even thought of a cute costume! And there were many people looking forward to seeing us there!!!

    ... Well, everyone was pretty well elaborated and it was fun even just seeing the costumes, however the unexpected combination of members and the settings within the units provided a complete amusement! There was a lot of units also from NGT48 but all of them lost in a blink of an eye ... jeez! (laughs) Under such circumstances, "kiss no tempura", the unit leaded by Rie-san (Kitahara Rie) advanced to the semi finals and I got relieved! The winner's prize is the CD debut, 2nd to 4th places will get coupling songs with music videos too, how fortunate they are! Arghh! Not fair! Not fair, not fair!

    In the end, we talked to a lot of units on SR and moreover, I was very glad to have gazed Yukirin-san's (Kashiwagi Yuki) chest close ... Let me stop with the pervert talk!



    I went to the venue with Komiharu-san.
    Sigh, I wanted to have participated ... (tears)

    Waaaaaaaait a minute!!!! The comic-strip next to this column was a feature of NGT48 until last week!!!! Did you see it, everyone?

    I have been drawn favorably since my participation in the drama "Tofu Pro-Wrestling". Thank you so much, TNB-san! Although I haven't done it much lately, in the strip I wear twintails most of the time. I wonder if the image of "Princess Rika = twintails" is strong after all. Even though, I find the power of drawings amazing becuase you can quickly figure out that it's me at one glance.

    NGT48's gags were published over the past two weeks and I laughed a lot reading them with the members last week. I appreciate other members besides me were drawn too in a cute and funny way. Since the members of NGT48 are unique, I wonder if it's relatively easy to drawn them as characters. Anyway, everyone's characteristics were caught and they look alike.

    And, there's something I would like to say ... I don't know if it's because most of the time I'm either the character people make make fun of or I'm in the charge of tsukkomi
    [1] to serve as a punch line, but I'm drawn a bit ugly ... More specifically, could you draw my eyes more sparkling and make me a bit cuter, TNB-san? Since I'm called Princess Rika!! Anyway, I'd like to be drawn a bit prettier. (laughs)

    That's it, I might appear cuter next time (high hopes). So everyone, check out the comic strips next to this column when you read it!!!


    This is my friend Hasegawa Rena-chan,
    also known as "Renapon". She loves baseball,
    so write a baseball story with her, please.

    It seems she's known as having uchimata among the members (sure, exaggerated here). They say they can recognize her coming just hearing her steps. lol
    If she gets fat, people will demand her to face the scales again on SR. =P

    Waaaaaaay better! Thanks! :approve:

    A.18 - Nakai Rika regular TV show "Daydream" Interview

    Nakai Rika of NGT48, tasting the "strongest poison" from the start
    The training for the adulthood with Ito Seiko


    October 6 (Fri) 5:00 (JST)
    Fuji TV
    modelpress

    Nakai Rika / modelpress = October 6The former TV show "Mayonaka"[1] (Fuji TV), presented by Sashihara Rino of HKT48 and Lily Franky, has been renewed and will start as the new show "Hakuchuumu"[2] (Sundays 25:25~).
    Nakai Rika of NGT48, who has just turned 20, will start a journey for what will be a "training for adulthood", mentored by Ito Seiko, who has a thorough knowledge of various things of all times and places.


    [​IMG]
    Nakai Rika, Ito Seiko (c) Fuji TV

    The show aims to teach Nakai, who has just began to climb the stairs of adulthood, the "dreams and reality of an adult". We expect to cause a chemical reaction by exposing the innocent Nakai, who knows little about the adulthood, to figures of dense cultural and social aspects like political officials, global scholars, researchers, incident investigators, and obviously, people related to general culture.


    Introducing to "Ito Seiko"


    [​IMG]
    Ito Seiko, Nakai Rika (c) Fuji TV

    In the first location, she met "Ito Seiko" and they went to his birthplace Katsushika-Shibamata. Sitting on the banks of Edo River
    [3], a thick lecture of adult theory started, concerning the "reality and unreality of an adult", moreover "What is an adult in the first place?"

    After that, they visited the buddhist temple Taishakuten
    [4], where Ito would come since his childhood. From the garden, full of nature that deelply extends beyond the cloister, to the wood carving sculpture full of details, the two went round every precints of the temple, full of Ito's memories.

    [​IMG]
    Nakai Rika, Ito Seiko (c) Fuji TV

    And since it was the first time ever she came to the lower parts of the city, everything was a totally new experience to Nakai, who had never watched to "Otoko wa Tsurai yo"
    [5] movies. Everything she saw and had contact in the streets and drawned her attention made her ask an avalanche of questions. At the end, in a local cafe, Ito himself talked about his checkred lifetime, about his 20s, why he decided to turn into a multi talent, "what kind of person is Ito Seiko?" etc.


    Struck dumb at guest's unconventionality

    [​IMG]
    Scenes of the show (c) Fuji TV

    And, in episode 2 we'll have the presence of Ebisu Yoshikazu and we'll go through the dark manga and art. Nakai struck dumb at Ebisu's unconventionality for being completely different from what she imagined from a manga artist.

    Furthermore, while talking about Ebisu's life, the things he wants to express with the manga, moreover the question "Who's Ebisu Yoshihazu?", it turned out that they wanted to introduce another special manga artist, Nemoto Takashi, and the troupe ended up going to the industrial region of Keihinjima
    [6]. Nakai and Ito appreciated the gigantic mural "Nemoto Takashi Guernica Project" which took four months to be painted and had been just finished, and also listened to his story. (modelpress Editorial Department)

    Nakai Rika and Ito Seiko's comments


    [​IMG]
    Nakai Rika, Ito Seiko (c) Fuji TV


    Q: How was the first recording to you?

    Nakai: It was my first time but I think I may already have said a lot of rude things ...

    Ito: Not at all. There were some accurate tsukkomis
    [7].

    Nakai: Really? Ito-san backed me up a lot and I think we make a great pair!

    Ito: Since it was our first location and we would have to deal with a wide range of subjects, from nature to dark manga and art, I was worried how things would go on, but (when the filming started) Rikachan handled it with flexibility and it was actually easy to carry out.


    Q: Tell us about your first location in Katsushika-Shibamata

    Nakai: Since it was my first time going to the lower parts of the city, everything was new for me. The cityscape was beautiful and I liked it very much, to the point I want to go there again.

    Ito: As someone who has raised up there, I'm glad to hear it. I thought you might not appreciate it.

    Nakai: That's not true! It's a very nice town and I really liked it, especially the garden in Taishakuten!

    Ito: Ah, the garden! I'm impressed someone this young would appreciate gardens.

    Nakai: I've grown to like gardens!

    Ito: That's great, let's go and see some gardens! There are lots of gardens like the Kenroku-en
    [8]. I've been waiting to go there and see it properly for a long time. It seems that there's a proper way to observe gardens, and there're people who teach us how to do that there, so it would be really fun if we had a guided tour.

    Q: Tell us about the guests of the 2nd episode


    Nakai: I didn't get what Ebisu Yoshikazu-san was talking about most of the time. (laughs) I couldn't understand at all what he was thinking of ... But I noticed he made an effort trying to talk easily to a youngster like me. Anyway, I got further information about the manga written by Ebisu-san, so it was a deep experience. Until now, I'd been watching him just as a funny old man, but I'm glad this occasion served to overcome that image.

    Ito: He's not someone we should invite right at the very start (of the show) though. (laughs) But I thought that if you tasted the strongest poison, endured it, and survived to it, any guest that came after that would be piece of cake. And to think that you experienced Ebisu Yoshikazu and Nemoto Takashi from the start ... You endured well facing such strong personalities.

    Nakai: My head hurt at some point, to be honest. (laughs) But, they are two people who draw amazing pictures and I was able to learn about this whole new world. It was like the show's title, as if I were "daydreaming", feeling like "Am I dreaming? What is this?"

    Ito: Even I, who knew this world, was knocked down. Come to think how I resurrected. I was stunned at some point.

    Nakai: I could only stare speechless: "What's going on?"

    Ito: They (Ebisu-san etc) were at ease, maybe even too much, and the man with a cat suddenly came in, all bets are off in this show.


    Q: What do you want to do in the show?


    Nakai: I know very little about Tokyo and there're lots of unknown worlds to learn about, but I'm also interested in subcultures and arts. The contact with the nature is nice too.

    Ito: There're not only gardens but parks too. The Yoyogi Park
    [9] is interesting, the Meiji Shrine[10] was all designed using artificial forest trees of afforestation. It's built with completely different kinds of wood in parallel that shouldn't normally be put together. It'll be interesting if we meet some specialist in the subject there.


    Q: Please leave a message to the viewers, such as the highlights of the show.


    Nakai: It's the first time I'm participating in a location show like this, moreover it's the first time I'm in charge of the main personality of a show. I'm going to go through a lot of new experiences, so it may be interesting to pay attention to my raw reactions. And with Ito-san backing me up, I hope we can become a great pair. So far most of my activities were done in Niigata but I want to learn more about Tokyo and about adulthood too. It will somehow serve to my development, so I would be glad if you can accompany me warmly.

    Ito: I think various types of light are going to focus on this transparent and incolor young girl that is Nakai Rika. The questions is, what colors will she refract with her prism? I look forward to seeing it. We will go to various places and meet various people, but in the end, the main point will be how she will handle it.

    @Humbucker I think that link for Yoyogi Park should be different.
    Yes, I actually went this far this time...

    ^ Forget Niigata Friends, this is the show with Rikachan I was waiting for! :lol:

    Howerver I'm already used to "Mayonaka"-format and some comparisons are inevitable, like how the Rikachan/Ito-san pair is unbalanced (here Rikachan is the sheer grasshopper with Ito-san's dominance) if you compare it to Sasshi/Lily Franky pair (Sasshi is top level in the entertainment industry). The good thing is that Rikachan is being herself as in SR, not building some "behaved persona just for the sake of the show". I look forward to watching the next episode!

    I just find a bit hard to say "Hakuchuumu" (Daydream), so I think it should have been named "Mappiruma" (Broad Day) instead, in contrast to "Mayonaka" (Midnight). lol

    "Oh, shut up! Your voice is too loud! Have you been raised in a large house by any chance?" by Ito Seiko. :lol:

    even though this show's format is almost identical to Mayonaka and Rika/Ito pair is similar to Sasshi/Lily pair, somehow I unconsciously compared it to "Sashiko no Kuse ni" not Mayonaka, while I was watching. since it's a first personal training show for Rika just like SashiKuse was for Sasshi, I find her behavior kinda similar. Tsucchi frequently scolded Sasshi for her impudent behavior and Ito also tsukkomied Rika for her loudness)) I am looking forward to Rika's growth and her getting more refined after this show like Sasshi got after SashiKuse [hehe]

    ^ Indeed, me too! That comparison is more feasible. ^^ Something I was thinking of is, as bad as Rikachan can come out in her training, nothing can be "worst" than that Takoyaki training in SashiKuse. [hehe]

    A disadvantage is that Rikachan has to do everything (not only in this show) in a very optimized way. She's already 20. Sasshi was three years younger by the time she did SashiKuse, age-wise / idol life-wise. However, it was in her fourth year as AKB while it's Rikachan's third year as NGT, so it's somehow saving one year, AKBG "career"-wise. But yeah, she's like a rough diamond and I look forward to seeing how much she can be polished in this show.

    BTW, this Sasshi's talk with Tsucchi was so funny that I had to rewatch the part 2 too, full of good advice. I guess it's very important to get goals, like Sasshi saying that she wanted to be someone with lots of TV appearances. She did it! :)

    The funniest part was in the book store when the MCs started to check out her latest magazine shoot and compare it with her real life body :lol::fp:

    Edit - And then parading the large poster in the streets :blush: Must of been so awkward [hehe]

    Yeah, being pushy and not allowing her fans to go and see other girls isn't a very smart strategy to increase the amount of fans. As long as she have their support, there should be no problem. In an attempt to monopolize them, the shot can back fire, making these fans risking her out of their oshimen list. Hardcore fans are important but so are the casual fans.

    Broadening her mind is important and with Ito Seiko's help as her first mentor, hope she can also increase her social intelligence and learn how to deal better with people around, like fans, members and staff.

    Btw, isn't it the first time in months that there're no empty orders? Because in the past few singles the pattern was (IIRC): zero sales in the first rounds, then she suddenly sells out, a huge drop because most were empty orders and sells out in the resales. Maybe this situations has already been happening for a while but wasn't so clear. Perhaps some are saving for NGT's 2nd single. We'll only know it when the resales come.

    ^ dunno, I don't follow HS sales that closely and seriously don't get the need to do it after each round, especially when they change so much with resales. if anyone want to see members' HS sales ranking posting penultimate resales round once should be more than enough.

    =========
