Takoyaki Party

All aboard the hype train! The NMBros are Osaka-bound but before they head out, they get together to talk about NMB's 24th single "Koi Nanka No Thank you" being revealed. We also begrudgingly keep up our graduation announcement streak with Yamada Suzu and Murase Sae and somberly touch on their individual careers with the group. And because it's the reason for the season, we get really excited over all the 10th anniversary collaborations and hype ourselves up for the concerts with dream setlists, special guests, and other predictions.   We'd love to hear your predictions and hopes for the 10th Anniversary Concert series. Let us know which graduated members you think will come back, dream setlists or units that will be performed, and anything else you'd like to see at the concerts. Also let us know your thoughts on Suzu and Saeppi's graduation announcements.   NMB48 International Discord https://discord.gg/FGfdynt   TEPPEN Subs https://teppensubteam.tumblr.com https://twitter.com/TeppenSubTeam   Twitter: Geo

We debate on the inherent value of showroom stars vs. Super Mario 64 stars, inquire about age appropriate handshake events, prepare arrangements for 10th anniversary, and more on this extra beefy serving of NMB Takoyaki Party.   This month, we want to know your impressions on NMB's 7th gen members.

After about an hour of that, we continue with some heated debates and discussions about the Namba Teppoutai Election preliminary results, Miru's suggestive solo music video, flossing ninja turtles, fast food mascot ghosts, and more! For this episode we would like to hear your opinions on the Namba Teppoutai Election! Do you think senbatsu members should've been allowed to participate or not?
