Takoyaki Party

We're back and we go into full detail with our report of the NAMBAZAAR concerts including all the big announcements that came from it. We celebrate the good with the kenkyuusei promotions. We denounce the bad with how poorly the 27th single has been handled. And we repulse at what is in store for the 12th anniversary concert. We also share our predictions, hopes, and dreams for 9th generation auditions and the upcoming YNN Summer Camp Stream. If you have a comment or question for the show you can email us at [email protected] or leave a comment in the YouTube comments section. You can also get involved with the international NMB fandom with the discord server and follow us on Twitter NMB48 International Discord https://discord.gg/FGfdynt ​TEPPEN Subs https://teppensubteam.tumblr.com​https://twitter.com/TeppenSubTeam?s=20 Twitter: Aruda: https://twitter.com/darklordaziz Geoff: https://twitter.com/GeoFreak17​ Matt: https://twitter.com/supermattoworld​ Ryan: https://twitter.com/frowndog06​

We're back with the greatest show, man (and woman). More details on NMB's summer concerts at Zepp Bayside Osaka trickle in and we make some more predictions on what we hope to see at the shows. We also take a moment to reminisce the Akagumi and Shirogumi songs from NMB's past, we complain about boomers trying to tell zoomers how to be zoomers, and we learn more about how far Geoff will go for his non-oshis.

Welcome to our spoilercast for the NMB48 x Yoshimoto Shinkigeki musical "Greatest Na Showman" in which Matt and Geoff give a condensed retelling of the plot of the musical in English, so that you the listener can have a better understanding of the musical if watch it. It goes without saying that there are MAJOR SPOILERS in this podcast and it's highly suggested that you don't listen if you don't want the plot to be spoiled for you. That said we don't go into every single detail, so it's still recommended that you see the show for yourself to see the jokes and songs as they appear in the musical.

You can purchase a streaming ticket at the following link if you wish to see the archive of the musical. The archive will only be available until June 5th. https://online-ticket.yoshimoto.co.jp/products/gns-ol-0529?mls_content=slide

In-person events are back and we went to some of them! We also catch up on some news including Yuzu's photobook, mobile game updates, the first 8th gen graduation, bullsh*t Showroom contests, and more. We also settle the great Krispy Kreme vs. Katsuya debate once and for all.

We join you briefly to give you a midterm term check-in on the current state of NMB48's NAMBATTLE 2 standings. We talk about the second round of the fan voting segment for the 27th Single Senbatsu and give our predictions on what the final lineup will look like. We talk about the crazy outcomes from the board game segment. And we discuss the questionable relevance of the Team N vs. Team M performance segment and the even less relevant Team BII vote standings.
