I watched this! it looks like this is a new show on this YouTube channel, and this is the first episode. 6 members of STU are here, but for this game, only 3 members got to sing (same for FRUITS ZIPPER who were 7 there but 3 of them got to sing). They were given different themes like 20th century idol songs, 21st century idol songs, buzz songs, songs from their group or song from the other group. They played rock/paper/scissor to know who would go first and STU lost so they went first. Chiho, Michu and Ikeda were the 3 members to sing! Chiho picked STU's "Iki wo Suru Kokoro", her center single. Michu picked Buono!'s "Hatsukoi Cider", and Ikeda picked Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders' "OTONABLUE". They all did well ^^ They had points (like when singing at karaoke) for how well they hit the notes. then both STU and FRUITS ZIPPER had to guess who got the most points and did a top 3 ranking of Chiho, Michu, Ikeda. if they got the correct answer, they would win the game. But they both guessed it wrong!

Next it was FRUITS ZIPPER's turn, and actually, Tsukiashi Amane (who is an ex-HKT member btw!) picked a STU song ^^ She performed "Kurayami". This was nice to see especially since she has a past connection with 48G. and she did very well! the STU members were happy. Both groups tried to make a top 3 for FRUITS ZIPPER too but once again, they got it wrong. So they decided the winner based on which group had the most points in total, and STU won ^^ The prize was melons from Hokkaido. I think Michu said that she would give some to FRUITS ZIPPER aw. and Chiho said that even though she's happy, she feels bad for them lol. STU girls are so nice Btw MaiQ, Momochan and Hina were there, they didn't sing but they did talk, Momochan was the one who did the rock/paper/scissor ^^ She was cute. and it was nice to see STU and FRUITS ZIPPER getting along well and cheering for each other.

Looks like they will do more episodes of this, there's a preview at the end for the next episode, with 2 other female idol groups. I hope that some other 48 groups can appear in this too!

Btw the channel uploaded some Shorts of the singing performances. STU's ones:

Time flies! I can't even imagine how other 48G fans feel (those who have been around even longer) but I actually remember STU being formed. Can't believe it's been 6 years already

With a cryptic describtion:
STU48 zenkoku tour will come to an end on 09/30 in Osaka
Only the last three performances remain!

On Saturday 30 September, the last day of the concert, a new project will be held in Osaka. The member who wins the top spot in a certain project will become the center and perform a song only at the Osaka concert! What kind of project is it?

 

I suspect this might be a dokkiri.
Just like they did with the 9th single on Valentine's Day.
It's actually an announcement of the new single's senbatsu.
They will then perform for the first time on the last day of the concert.

 

6 members (Michu, Kokoa, Paseri, Aiko, Saayan and Momochan) were guests at today's NST TV Festival Idol Special Live in Niigata which was livestreamed on the station's official YouTube channel - they appeared during NGT48's performance, after an MC they performed 'Iki wo Suru Kokoro' and then at the end they returned to the stage to perform the final chorus of 'Max Toki 315-go' with the NGT members.

This is the official livestream - the members appear at 1:17:05 to 1:26:40 and then reappear at 1:30:45:
