    181217 - Weekly Playboy Dec 31st 2O18 no.53
    https://wpb.shueisha.co.jp/magazine/2018/12/17/107789/

    This time I want to write about Team G's "Women-only Audience Performance" held at NGT48 Theater on December 8! Once on the stage, I was very happy to know that "there were so many girls that liked idols!" It made me remember how AKB48 saved me in my times of trouble.

    Thankfully, the number of girls among my fans has increased of late. More exactly, I think I have more female fans than male now. This performance came in good time and I got various girls calling my name "Rikachan!" They called me—although a bit shy—but with a cute voice. I could hear you all! It was totally new for me to be in a performance that started with a cute MIX and was overflowed by girls' high-pitched cheering through the end. The whole performance somehow sounded clean and neat. (laugh) 'Cause, you know, the usual male enthusiasm is pretty strong... (laugh) And in the MC part, we had planned to talk about how to increase the feminine energy and other girlish things to meet the audience, but the average of the audience's facial beauty was so high that I wanted to shout "You guys and your smiles are cuter than us!" (laugh)

    It looks like there were people that are usually shy and don't come alone, but took the courage to apply this time since it was a performance only for female audience. I'm so glad we were able to make this opportunity for these girls to see the stage!

    I want to participate again if there is another opportunity and I want to keep on being an idol that can always make the girls happy too! For the time being, I can't lose to them, so I want to increase my feminine energy too... (laugh)

    KITOQUN TRAVELLER WITH T

    181218 - kitoqun traveller with T
    Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12


    New kitoqun pose

    The first part of this episode is a direct continuation of the previous one, when Rikachan and some NGT48 membersalong with the show's MC Ayachan (Kondo Aya)came up with a "new kitoqun pose":

    [​IMG]
    New "kitoqun pose"

    Ayachan wanted to make the new pose known to the public and she had an idea: she told the NGT48 girls that Toyama was the prefecture with the most number of Instagram users. (None of the girls knew about it, but it seems to be real according to this survey.) Her idea was to convince people to post photos doing the pose on Instagram.

    [​IMG]
    Toyama is the prefecture with the most Instagram users (41.0%),
    followed by Aichi (39.7%) and Fukushima (39.0%)

    And for this, the girls were divided into two teams: Team Rikahime (with Takahashi Nanami, Okappa and Rikachan) and Team Ayachan (with Ayachan, Renappon and Sato Kairi) to see which one would "spread" the new pose more.

    [​IMG]
    Team Rikahime vs. Team Ayachan

    The staff would give to the team as points the number of followers of every person they could convince to post a photo of the pose on Instagram within 15 minutes. The team with the most sum of points would win.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    The two teams in action

    [​IMG]
    Team Ayachan won because the sum of followers of the people they convinced was 2520 while Team Rihahime got only 606.

    Bonus: The editors of the show noticed that despite of the character of a bad person Rikahime is known in public, what could be seen during this episode was her politely saying words of gratitude to people and taking the lead for action.

    Toyama's quarterly magazine Nemarucha

    The second part of this episode followed Rikachan's shooting for the Spring issue of Toyama prefecture's quarterly magazine "Nemarucha," where Ayachan has just been cover for the Winter issue.

    The kanji of 2018

    To finish this episode, Rikachan was asked to choose a kanji that represents the year 2018 to her, and she chose the kanji "yasashii" (kind), because this was the year many people was kind to her and also the year she was able to become kinder to people, even if a little bit.

    NAKAI RIKA'S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL SHOWROOM

    In this Christmas special broadcast, Rikachan looked back at the year 2018 and its highlights. She received a cake from the SHOWROOM staff and was visited by SR CEO Maeda, Aki-P and Sasshi! Sasshi even gave Rikachan a Christmas tree (a SR gift of 10,000!) and asked if she was going to announce her marriage. :lol:

    [Edit]

    Minor announcements

    Oh, I almost forgot it! There were two minor announcements:
    1. Rikachan made some pledges (that now she deeply asks why she did it lol) like streaming in cosplay, etc. if she won the SSK SR event. She will carry it out until next year's SSK.
    2. She wanted to present her SR viewers with an original avatar and asked SR staff what she had to do for it. They suggested her to accomplish the Mainichi Idol (streaming 365 days in a row), which Rikachan's manager promptly replied "Impossible! lol" (even if it's only 15 minutes a day because there are periods during the year her schedule is really tight). It needs further negotiation.

    Graceful PrincessToday we paid a visit to Rikachan's (Nakai Rika's) hometown of Toyama.
    We went around a lot of places, such as the Sogawa Street, which brings us good memories.
    There was also a filming, by a chance, to eat the crepe she's gotten into lately. The Princess did well, working hard in a graceful mood in the middle of cold weather.
    We will inform more details of this job soon.

    Oh, right. Trolling people like me with 11-months-long years. The same ballpark as Rika. I find this amusing and the only interesting part of this news.

    Well, they are probably simply adding December shows to next year. Even if they don't, it doesn't really matter - shows for every talent are counted the same, so it doesn't affect this ranking's integrity and authority, and it is still used as reference by everyone.

    YOUTH HIGH SCHOOL 3-C - WINTER LIVE CONCERT

    There's not much about Rikachan herself in this recording (only appearing as MC) with the focus on the students and the teachers (geinins). The show was great anyway, showing the backstage and performances of the units. More about this event must be shown in the regular episodes, including Rikachan conté segment with a set in an akushukai.

    Since this is the last one of this year, today I want to look back at 2018. Well, a lot of things happened... Yep, a lot... happened. (laugh)

    This year really had ups, downs and rock bottoms. There were times when I couldn't smile at all no matter how fun it was. But I was only able to continue being an idol thanks to (needless to say) my fans, group and staff members... because there were people who kept holding my hand in difficult times. Everyone who supports me are strict but worries about me... The most important people to me are those who keep on being with me unchanged even after years. I wouldn't be able to spend such wonderful days by myself. I can only thank the people who supported someone like me during this year.

    If you allow me to say something sassy, I learned that "it is worth trusting in people." I was too afraid to trust in people that I had never allowed myself to do that. In fact, I was only able to survive this year by relying on important people to me and trusting them.

    And personally, what comes to mind when I think of this year are the solo concert and the World Selection General Election. In many ways, I will never forget about these two events. (laugh) The solo concert was the happiest moment in my life. In contrast, the period of the General Election was really tough. (laugh)

    I will work hard next year too, everyone! So somehow don't go away and keep on gently supporting me, please!!


    I'm really in your debt for this year!
    I'm counting on you next year too!

    A SHORT MESSAGE FOR 2019

    Thank you for watching to Koichun and Teacher Teacher! I wore (Watanabe) Miyuki's costume for Koichun! I'm so happy! 18 Smiling face.png Listening to senior members talking made me feel that I must shape up.
    Sometimes people complain
    "Why is Nakai in AKB?"
    but I'm working in my own way to make people notice me with my performance. 18 Flushed face.png

    However, everything I say is meaningless if I can't show results, so next year I want to live up to expectations. 18 Smiling face with smiling eyes.png Perhaps people think I'm no longer acting properly like an idol because of my character, but I like being an idol more than anything, so I'll do my best so that people recognize me like one. Sorry for dragging everyone down. Let's rally someday.! 18 Clapping hands sign (light skin tone)2.png

    I'm not contributing with anything now and also as a fan, I can't say I'm not frustrated with the group's situation now.

    For someone who was a fan during the golden ages of the shining AKB,
    it is obvious that I want to see a shining AKB now too. 18 Smiling face.png

    If I write something I like this, people will say the problem is me being part of AKB ←

    Since I'm a member, there must be something I can do for the group. Today was a day when I thought about it and decided to do my best for it.
    Good night. 18 Baby bottle.png

    I never really followed NGT much before and only knew about Rikachan in passing but in the last few weeks I've started noticing her more and more.

    I went back and read almost every page of this thread lol she has had many adventures :fp::rolleyes: but she is a captivating type of personality :lol:

    I think I have been converted....... :worthy:
