So Queentet is officially over

 

Seems like NMB are doing 2 foreigner only theater shows on January 27th. At 9800 JPY the price includes ticket, penlight, photo and pamphlet. Kinda overpriced considering what the cost of these items is one by one but since it's on a first come, first served basis instead of the usual lottery it's a guaranteed ticket (as long as the ticket sales reach a 100 ticket minimum) it might be worth it for those who want to see NMB shows but don't have luck with the ticket center. Here's the link for more info: https://www.deep-exp.com/en/osaka/ticket/177 (sales are until the end of December)

 

I wonder if it's overpriced because it's through one of those tourist experience activity websites, they overcharge a lot... I doubt it'll be purchaseable from the normal ticketing site though because of the gifts and stuff

No team BII

 

Overpriced performances + very short notice (only 11 days to apply).
I wonder if they really expect to have enough subscribers by then ?

 

Well, I doubt they'd be available through the ticketing site as a foreigner special but maybe they'll sell the remaining seats as normal ones if they don't sell out? It would be a shame to do a show with only 100 people and have 100+ spots left in the theater when you could easily sell those too.

Well, depends how desperate the people are to see the shows. Personally, since I never seem to have luck winning NMB shows, I might actually go to the N Pride one if I could (unfortunately the date doesn't work for me). And seems like applying only requires you to have a foreign passport, so it's available for tourists and foreign residents both.

NMB girls have been dominating Tokyo Girl's Collection 2020 Spring/Summer stage, produced by Ninagawa Mika, in a collaboration with AKB48 x SHOWROOM Event

Group - Age Above 22:

1. Uno Mizuki (NMB48)
2. Oda Erina (Team 8)
3. Takino Yumiko (STU48)

They dominated all the Age group categories.

 

Not splitting the focus between multiple members was the key.

I was a bit surprised to see Mizuki doing so well, any time I've seen her infrequent showroom streams before it's like she filmed them with a potato or something, horrible quality streams.

Wow, what a bunch of New Year surprise

First, congratulations for all the KKS! Now, Team B2 is full of bunch of future aces (LAPIS ARC unit, Keito, and now Suuchan and Karen) -I bet there's bloodbath there. Team N got Rinachii and Amiru (and previously promoted Haasa and Riona). Team M got Amimaru... but then she already announced her graduation Fortunately they have Momoka and Reiko.

Now, with Haru-con, Akarin-produced Festival and 7th gen, I hope for events and concerts, especially since this year is 10th Anniversary

 

Are you talking about a kks in particular?

This mass promotion is probably "cheapest" than other times but since is needed (and somehow management is in a hurry) I'm glad they promoted everybody. The only kks left are hinacho (who is still on hiatus due to studies...even though we don't know when is she going to return) and manati, who was not present today.

@sakurappu well, now amimaru will graduate as a member, not as a kks...wonder if her decission was due to the impatience. She was clearly overshadowed in last months
By the way, Team M have such a combi with deguchi and horinouchi there
