Event / Concert HKT48 2016 Summer Hall Tour ~Will HKT break away from the AKB48 Group? Referendum Concerts~

• August 15, 2016 (13:00 & 18:00 JST) - Oita Prefecture - Oita iichiko Grand Theater (iichikoグランシアタ)

For the dates that have been confirmed right now (ones with an hour next to them), all members will be present, except for two of them.
I'll update as it goes on.

As you can see it also has an interesting title, clearly influenced by current events around the Brexit.
They joke around about it in the text, saying that it's totally not influenced by that lol. They refer to the fact that the 'Youngest team' now has 3 people in SSK senbatsu ect.

The way it works is that for each concert, the crowd get a paper with on one side Remain and on the other side Leave. After the units they put it up in the air, and vote. If Remain wins, they continue the rest of the concert with a setlist that includes songs from other 48 groups, if Leave wins, they continue with a setlist that includes only HKT songs.

In case of the following concerts, it was announced that these would be special ones with a limited line-up of Team TII, 4th gen, Meru, Mio, Mao, Nako, Miku:
July 26, 2016 (18:30 JST) - Ehime Prefecture
July 27, 2016 (18:30 JST)- Kochi Prefecture

Alongside those concerts there will be extra features:
- A great Matsuri planned by members will be implemented!
- Every guest that attended the Kochi and Tottori concerts will get a special gift to take home.
- All the members will come and see everyone off at the end of the concert!
- Lastly everyone in the audience will receive a written pledge… to bring to a special event exactly one year later!
Seems that the concert & these events were based off of proposals by Team TII members. Kurihara Sae talked about it here.

Yass, new single please
Just strolling on SNH thread then watching this and thought, "Oh, not HKT too "
And realized it can't be(?)

 

Yeah I'm fairly sure that we won't see an HKTexit lol. Maybe some thematic final concert or campaign.

And about a single, it could very well be that the announcement for it comes near the end of the tour rather than the beginning.
The past September singles got announced mid-August, and Shekarashika even in October.

 

shekarashika announcement was a mess as far as I remember XD
we all were like... single? the second one for this year? like NAO? pls.
I sure hope they release the second single this year earlier than Shekarashika.
I kind of hope for a Yuriya senbatsu

I'm also interested in the 4th gen hopefully we see them second day?
Makes sense to me to first see Kyappu off and the next day introduce new gens.... or is it too soon?

 

Nope it's not, it's pretty much the expected time for them to be revealed.


The always have a big final concert after the hall dates, like at Yokohama arena, Yoyogi or outdoor in Fukuoka. I wonder where it'll be this year, I wonder if HKT could pull off a solo Saitama concert

 

I applied for the Ehime one so fingers crossed!

EDIT: Got my ticket! The last concert I went to was AKBs dome tour so I'm pretty happy! Plus, it's nice to pop over to the next town rather than fly to another country lol

 

the tour has finally started!
the last concert of Cap...

remain or leave?



=======

upd:
interesting, looks like depending on how the audience vote (leave or remain) the concert have different endings.

MC2
国民投票のお時間
朝まで生テレビの音楽

指原莉乃「どうも、司会の指原莉乃です」
指原莉乃「ここから先のセトリは離脱派パターンと残留派パターンの2パターンあります」



this time the "separatist party" won, so it looks like they performed HKT songs
M17 Melon Juice
M18 Otona Ressha
M19 Wink wa 3 kai
M20 Sakura Minna Tabeta
M21 Chain of love
etc.

 

Full setlist for the 1st day. There are also some partial transcripts for the MCs, which I'll also translate.

MC1: SSK first time rankers.

MC2: Leave/Remain setlist vote.

MC3.
Sakura: So everything was HKT.
Sasshi: Compiling this setlist didn't leave a lot of... maneuvering space.

MC4 & Chiichan, letter.

Remember that these MCs are probably not complete at all.

 

Starting with Silent Majority though lol

 

NakoMiku sensei!


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Full setlist for the 2nd day. MCs perhaps later if I find some.

4th gen wise, Oda Ayaka was on Goboten before, Jitoue Nene used to be a SKE 7th gen candidate andOtoshi Marisa used to be a w-street Fukuoka idol.

It seems like those Tottori & Kochi concerts are actually two legs of the tour, which will have those members only.

 

Wow, I was 100% sure this time they'll vote for "remain" just to see what was prepared, but it's "leave" again... Looks like pride is stronger than curiosity))

 

Glad to see Aoi's back to senbatsu.
Feel bad for Boss woaah this Hana-girl makes me curious

 

Does anyone know who centers Silent Majority?

 

Of course the big dog for the big song!!

 

FYI, Silent Majority has a different choreo here, it's not the usual one. Or so I heard.
