    Srsly I don't mind if she doesn't rank I will still support her. I guess she fears her Senbatsu spot cause now they'll probably choose Ogiyuka

    Did she really do four hours long show, then in the evening another two hours... only to do another FIVE HOURS LONG just the next day?

    Is this a diagnosed addiction?

    As Rikachan says herself, "My SR is like a roller coaster of emotions, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride." [hehe]
    Yeah, this one was intense! I've just watched to it. She poured out all the pressure she's been bearing to be accepted as the center and also apologized for all problems she's been causing to fans and staff.

    As much as I root for Rikachan, if the fact that Ogiyuka's popularity is greater than Rikachan's is legit, I find it's fair enough that Ogiyuka fills the Senbatsu spot.

    She wants to catch up Team 8's Onishi Momoka, but it's insane for someone to try to watch all these SRs. Even I have already stopped this craziness.:|

    Thanks for the SR backups @fatrain ! There're just too much! :^^;:

    In other day's performance I happened to sat
    next to Rikachan in the dressing room and
    we talked a lot :XD:
    She was too funny and I couldn't stop laughing :XD: <3 <3
    I've really thought recently that she's working very hard and I wanted to spport her.
    And I want to work hard too :oops:

    MAX Nakai x Gofun Nail Sky Blue
    -- To someone who wants to grab the luck instantaneously.
    The sky blue present in the costume of MAX Nakai, from Shirogane Gym. It's a color like a clear blue sky and kids use for drawing. It's a color that feels the power of hope, eternity, clarity, peace, calm and clean.

    AnswerAll them are from cities on Hokuriku Shinkansen railway line.
    Kanazawa station ... Kadochan (Kado Yuria)
    Toyama station ... Rikachan (Nakai Rika)
    Joetsu Myoko station ... Okappa (Takakura Moeka)
    Nagano station ... NISHIMURA NANAKO (Nishimura Nanako)
    An article supporting these four members in General Election will be published at Joetsu Times tomorrow and on the day after tomorrow. Read it please.

    I've participated in the Selection,

    and I thought to myself
    I must work hard.
    Thank you always for the flowers!
    I don't post them everytime

    On her small back
    she carries many things.
    Yet she cares about other people,
    Cares about everyone around,
    and walks at the top.
    I'm envious how great she is.
    Mina is amazing.
    I cannot stay behind either.

    This is MC Mofu-chan
    I participated at the MC after the units performaces, even from the middle. It was very fun and I learned many things.
    It's not everytime that we have MC with few people, so I was happy because I talked a lot.
    Today we anticipated the surprise of Senshuraku.

    Attending the General Election for the second time, #Nakai Rika comes to us as a representative of #NGT48.
    She tells the opportunity and pressure of being the center of the first single without restraint. Facing this year's General Election as her "life's first and last one-game-match", will she be able to show the culmination of the "Idol Nakai Rika" and take the glory to Niigata?

    Reinya (Seiji Reina) is the member with the most appearances as Under with 73 times.

    CurtainThe "Pajama Drive" stage brought down the curtain with its last performance.
    Thank you for 1 year of performances.
    Look forward to July 2 (Sun), when the curtain is going up with the first performance of the new stage.
    But before it, there will also be a bit strange performace, so look forward to it too.

    @onieyez @goratnik She said she's gonna start from 10:00 JST today iirc.

    @marioworldakb I saw she was wearing it but I didn't watch this SR, so I don't know the context. XD
    Actually it was easy to make this avatar. I knew some key episodes when the girls went to a fast food.
    It's nice how I can find Yui in almost any situation. I just couldn't find her in a choir. (for NnM)

    [Edit] Nevermind, she's streaming now.

    I guess she fears her Senbatsu spot cause it's already set that Ogiyuka will rank high in higher Undergirls or in Senbatsu. Probably higher than Kitarie. NGT is still young and they are looking for their Ace. They would be dump if they didn't choose Ogiyuka cause now she is the girl with the largest fanbase (even though the votes might be rigged she has the highest votes so far right?). The best way is now to have high HS sales and rank 1st in showroom

    A.12 - JIJI PRESS Interview

    Special FeatureNakai Rika's Interview -The belief as an idol-

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    NGT48 Nakai Rika Interview

    Nakai, who served as the center for the NGT48's debut song "Seishun Dokei"* (out in April), has been selected one after another as a Single Selection member of AKB48 and a cast member of series dramas, having grown rapidly as an idol. Nakai is known for an enthusiastic fan service, such as interacting with viewers every day through the video live broadcasting service "SHOWROOM". Also called a "fisher", what are her beliefs and what does she feel about her daily activities?

    1. Center is a "good experience"

    [​IMG]

    "It was a good experience to be served as the center."
    May 2017, TokyoJIJI PRESS


    - You served as the center of "Seishun Dokei", released in April. How did you feel when it was announced at the concert held in January?

    I'd already desired "It would be nice if I become the center someday" but I didn't imagine it would be me (to be the center for the debut song), so I was astonished when I heard my name called and I wondered "Is it okay if I'm the center?"

    - What are the impressions of actually trying it?

    I was worried whether I would be able to do the job because the pressure was too big, but I gradually became able to think "I'll be a center on my own way without getting so nervous."

    - You've grown up as an idol by serving as the center, haven't you?

    By standing as the center, the number of times I had to think about the group first has increased and I became aware of other members' thoughts. I also realized that the group wouldn't establish if I acted solely with the thought "Me, me!" It was a good experience after all.

    - Do you want to keep on standing as the center in the future?

    If you ask me, I'm rather the type who wants to be the person that "stands at the side of the center but shines more than her." I want to keep on being the member that draws attention (from the audience) wherever I am.
    (I served as the center and) I got a lot of attention. I'm glad that I was able to stand at this position, but it's not that I'm sticking for the center. I want to be someone who can make fans happy by standing at any position.



    2. Stimulus from senior members

    [​IMG]

    "6th AKB48 Kouhaku Taiko Uta Gassen"

    December 2016, TokyoJIJI PRESS

    - From "High Tension" (released last year) on, you have been chosen consecutively as a member of Selection to sing the main songs of AKB48's singles.

    It was my dream to become a member of AKB48's Selection, so I was really glad to be selected. Sometimes I wonder if I deserve all this and although there's the pressure to connect my experience with results, I know that it's a big opportunity for me.

    Lots of people have known (about me) since I became a Selection member, and through me many people turned out to like NGT48. I'll be happy if people get interested in NGT48 because of (my) activities in AKB48.

    - How do you endeavor as a Selection member of AKB48?

    For exemple, every time I record a TV show, I think about what kind of performance I can do that will get the attention of the viewers.

    - There are many things to learn from senior members, aren't there?

    The presence of the senior members is big both on and off the stage. For example, the way that Yukirin-san (Kashiwagi Yuki) appeals to the camera, how Okada Nana-san is involved with her juniors etc, I try to "take" the good things "from" them. Everything I can absorbe I take it back to NGT48, hoping that I myself can stimulate the group.



    3. Gratitude for group's home ground Niigata

    January 2017, TokyoJIJI PRESS


    - Two years will be passed in August, since NGT48 was unveiled. What do you feel looking back on this period?

    Although there were various things, I feel that "we were able to run through".

    - Nakai Rika-san, what is the NGT48 to you?

    While the members are rivals, they are also my friends, NGT48 is my safe haven. It's my precious "home" where I can put myself out.

    - What are NGT48's features?

    The biggest is the community-based characteristic. The group has bonds with Niigata, and local residents have made all the way to make it easy for us to operate. I want NGT48 to become the number one entity to divulge Niigata in all country!

    - STU48 has been inaugurated, and NGT48 is no longer the youngest among the sister groups. How do you face the group's current status?

    STU48 is a group that has a concept of a shipboard theater and can make a new wind blow. Sashihara (Rino)-san and Okada-san have also joined to them. I feel a lot of sense of crisis (as a member of NGT48).

    We have encouraging seniors in our group too, like (Captain Kitahara) Rie-san and Kashiwagi-san, but we can't keep it for them forever. We, the first generation, must work even harder.



    4. I want to tell my feelings now

    during the NGT48's Solo Concert
    January 2017, TokyoJIJI PRESS


    - What's your own preferences of being an idol?

    I have opened my heart to my fans, so I cry, get angry and laugh. I show everything without trying to hide it. I want them to know my feelings instantaneously. I guess fans also want to know how I feel at that moment. Therefore, I want to keep on showing my feelings to them.

    - Is it because you want to show those feelings that you are so dedicated to live stream on "SHOWROOM"?

    Yes, it is. With "SHOWROOM" I can tell them what is happening "now", so it's a very important tool to me. I cry while broadcasting and speak without restraint, and they (the viewers) reply the same way. Sometimes there're some words that hurt ... even though, I'm glad for the "feedback".

    Looking to the side of the fans, the Handshake Events are held only on a fixed date. So even if they were going through hard times and wanted to talk to me, they could not. By live streaming, I can cheer them up even indirectly.

    - You won the "BEST AKB PERFORMER" prize at "SHOWROOM AWARD" last year.

    I was very happy! Thanks to "SHOWROOM", I got various opportunities. I want to cherish it from now on too and keep on streaming my thoughts and feelings.



    5. I'm betting my life on being an idol

    [​IMG]

    NGT48's Solo Concert
    January 2017, TokyoJIJI PRESS


    - As I was talking to you, I got the impression that you have a very high awareness an as an idol

    For me, the fact that I'm able to be an idol is what makes me happy the most. I really don't need any day off. Being able to perform on stage, standing in fron of my fans are my reason for living. That is, I'm betting my life on being an idol.

    - Is it really unnecessary to take a day off?

    I don't need it at all. (on the day off) I got depressed (laughs). I need to think "I'm going to work today" to keep my motivation high. I can't see myself not being an idol at the point that I wouldn't know how to live if I wasn't an idol.

    - Is there any kind of job you would like to do in the future?

    Once I sang a solo song at a concert and it was very fun, so it would be nice if I could work in this direction too. In a solo performance, I can appeal myself without being afraid of overshadowing other members, so I can show my qualities better.

    I have appeared in three TV dramas so far, "Higurashi - When They Cry", "Cabasuka Gakuen" and "Tofu Pro Wrestling" and I ended up enjoying acting. I'd be glad if I could challenge acting again.



    6. A memorable story

    [​IMG]
    "What NGT48 needs now is topicality.
    I want to take action positively too."
    May 2017, TokyoJIJI PRESS


    - Please tell us what are you aiming for in the "AKB48 Selection General Election" this year.

    I'm aiming for rank within 24th place. For this end, I need more fans to know (about me) and I'm doing my activities with that in mind.

    - Of the top 16 members last year, six are not running or have graduated. Isn't there a possibility of entering the higher ranks?

    The General Election is quite severe, and there are many walls that can't be easily overcome. I also tasted it last year (Note = Nakai was 96th). I got a lot of opportunities since the end of last year's General Election and the beginning of this year's, so I want to show some results.

    - Do you feel the pressure?

    Regarding the General Election, there's nothing but pressure ... But whatever the outcome, it'll be another memory with my fans, and this already makes me very happy.

    - Finally, please tell us your goal as an idol.

    I think the AKB48 Group is made up of a collection of individual stories. I'm always looking for something that only I can do, and among the various stories (of members of AKB48 Group), I want to make the most interesting one. I want to enjoy my way of idol under any circumstance, and go throughout an idol life that is remembered by the fans.

    Common sense says that there's definitely something weird about NGT numbers this year. Whether they're legitimate or not, we'll only know after some time. However that doesn't change the fact that Rikachan's prelim result was too low. If she doesn't rank at least in Next Girls, I guess things may complicate a little bit to her.


    I've noticed that the difference between the number of followers isn't so crucial for this event. Both Rikachan and Onishi have showed similiar number of views/hour, so I guess the 1st place now will only depends on who will stream the most amount of time until the end of the period.


    You're welcome!
    Minegishi is a little harsh with Rikachan. I guess she can't forget a few strokes she got from various geinins (like Kato Koji). [hehe]
