In a special bite-sized edition of Takoyaki Party, Matt interviews fellow NMBros and friends about what they thought about Yamamoto Sayaka's graduation concert. Note: Most of these interviews were recorded in a noisy izakaya so please be understanding of the audio quality.

We're back to talk about the preliminary info on NMB48's 19th Single as well as some other news items. Matt gives an in-depth report on Watanabe Miyuki's "Milkyland" concert, and we talk about how foreign fans can get involved with the Japanese fanbase. Finally, we tease our plans for the next jam-packed month of events.

On this episode, we share our experiences from the NMB Summer Tour concerts in Sendai and Hokkaido, Joe tells Ryan and Matt’s story for them, and we spend over an hour talking about why international fans don’t know anything.
