NGT's twitter account uploaded a short clip of her explaining her autograph. https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/642684958704689152
I'm so impressed by her in that CM! She worked that thing like a pro. I'd be very happy if her and Katomina are the wcenters of NGT. Anyway she was one of my faves from the first press announcement and I'm very glad that she's tied for my NGT fave now with Katomina.
The more I see of her the more I love her. She reminds me of a young Charmy (who was my ultimate Idol crush back in the day). She's definitely my favorite NGT member.
It's moments like this which is why she's on my shortlist for NGT oshi https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/659362034920779776 and this! https://twitter.com/official_NGT48/status/650674831046742016 while I'm sure Rikachan will grow more confident as time goes on, you have to love these initial small moments in her idol career

OMG, she is so cute in this bakery Video :3 She'll be my NGT Oshimen. Hope she will be one of the centers Sent with Taptalk
I want Rika and Marina in the font row Katomina definitely, I guess also Yuka, Moeka and Hinata. I want that Rie and Yuki be on the side or maybe in the 2nd cause they are popular. Sent with Taptalk
I don't think they'll follow HKT 1st single formation (with Rie & Yukirin in front row), I think maybe both of them will center 2nd row, it will be fine and Maho must to be in front row or ill kiil someone
Rie & Yukirin 2nd row is okey. There was a performance where Rie was in the 1st row but on the side. I hope she'll be auch a supporting member like Sasshi but hopefully not one of their centers. Cause Sasshi is always in the front and I hope Rie won't do that. I've seen Maho's profile. She is a very beautiful member ^^ But I guess we'll see who will be in the front. Also I hope that all 22 members participate in the 1st single just like back in 2005 Sent with Taptalk
