Sponsored Links
Niigata sister group of AKB48, “NGT48” revealed its first generation members at Niigata City History Museum on August 21, 2015. The 26 members, including the captain Rie Kitahara and Yuki Kashiwagi, appeared riding a boat on the Shinano River!
It was a bit drizzling on the day, but nevertheless, around 1,000 fans came to see their first stage. It was so special that they appeared with the group’s original costume from their first concert. The costumes are inspired by Toki, the Niigata bird with white and red color.
They performed AKB48’s “Aitakatta” and their original song “NGT48”, introducing Niigata’s popular places and products. For the center position, Minami Kato (Katomina) was chosen. Only 2 songs were originally scheduled however, they got an encore and performed “NGT48” again.
NGT48’s story has just started. Let’s see where they will go from now!
