NGT48 Theater to open in Niigata
May 25, 2015
NGT48's official theater will open at Lovela Bandai 2 in Niigata.
This was announced on May 24th during a press conference held at Niigata Nippou Media Shop. Attendees of the press conference included NGT48 theater director Imamura Etsuro, NGT48 captain Kitahara Rie, and the candidates who were drafted into the group, Nishigata Marina and Ogino Yuka.
To Imamura's signal, a video started playing for about 1,100 guests who gathered at the press conference. When it was announced that the theater would open at Lovela Bandai 2, the crowd gave a loud cheer and a round of applause. On the reason for the theater opening at that specific location, Imamura said, "We decided on Bandai as it is accessible, being about 15-minutes away from Niigata Station, and that it's a town where people of different generations come to gather. I want various people to come and visit." Kitahara added, "It's a fashion building, so I'm expecting NGT48 Theater to be a fashionable theater. Everyone in Niigata, please continue to support us."
Besides this announcement, Imamura revealed that there were 5,850 applicants for NGT48's 1st generation audition.

22....wonder how many times per week they will be performing? Or if the 22 will be split?

22....wonder how many times per week they will be performing? Or if the 22 will be split?
most likely if following HKT, they will probably have 14-16 girls (Kitarie and Yukirin included) be N3 but that'll be a while to see your best girls.
The rest will be KKS with them filling in as is I assume

EDIT:
Opening of NGT48 Theater postponed 3 months
September 17, 2015
It's been revealed that the opening of NGT48 Theater in Niigata will be delayed. This announcement was made on September 16 during the '6th Janken Tournament' held at Yokohama Arena.
NGT48 Theater was originally scheduled to open on the 4th floor of Lovela Bandai 2 on October 1. However, in a VTR announcement, NGT48 theater director Imamura Etsuro revealed that the opening will be postponed, "The cause is delay in construction. It will be a drastic delay." He also announced the new opening date for NGT48 Theater as January 10 of next year.
With the theater now scheduled to open about 3 months after its original date, director Imamura explained, "We are thinking about holding lives and events within Niigata Prefecture."
NGT48 captain Kitahara Rie, who served as the commentator for the Janken Tournament, first apologized to fans, "I am sorry," then made them laugh saying, "For AKB48, very few of our functions go as planned. So this is within expectations."
Finally, she stated, "It's unfortunate, but please look forward to it."

The girls were naturally happy about this opportunity, but quite nervous...
That's why it's nice to have older team mates around to comfort you

Etsuro Imamura: Reese. Why me? Why does it want me?
Kyle Reese: There was a nuclear war. A few years from now,
all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone.
There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it.
It was the machines, Imamura San
Luckily, Imamura san outwitted the machines,
and continued on his journey... Often SKE48 fans
encouraged him...
(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48b/jphip225890.jpeg)
Jurina chan has a lovely お尻、
But Imamura san is 56 years
old, and his お尻 required a softer ride

Lots of km's to cover,
Lots of places to see,
In freezing, wet conditions

GOAAAAL!!!!!! Niigata...

The Girls were overwhelmed... They mob rushed him, screaming
"Where's my Omiyage!"
(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48b/jphip225886.jpeg)
Rie san had to remind the girls that souvenirs weren't important,
that memories that would remain with them forever would be
created in the new theatre...
(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48b/jphip225885.jpeg)

With thanks to Imamura san and the staff (including Kenji Kitagawa)
that accompanied him on his journey, and to all the
fans who met them along the way....
Well done!

^Thanks for posting, JFC San!
NGT48 has really been involved with
some fine promotions- the bakery CM,
the Move to Niigata campaign, and this
Niigata rice promotion.
Niigata Girls were really looking forward to
the Theater debut...
(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48b/jphip226271.jpeg)
And the ties of language, cuisine culture, and
Respect for Elders made the series entirely
enjoyable to watch

Translated letter/Graduation Announcement, per JShowBiz.com's post:
"I, Yamaguchi Maho will graduate from NGT48. I wrote the feeling I kept in my heart on a letter, and share it with all of you.
I really like idol and the group, therefore, I hope the group can change, because I am very painful, and I don't want my important companion have the same feeling, therefore I prepared giving up everything and took an action.
However, after I disclosed everything, the director told me "Because there is no charge, so it is not an incident", and blamed me against the company, I have became a victimizer. I am just want to protect the members, and do the activities seriously. And the group where overlook everything, is not the place I think I can continue my idol career.
For the un-overlookable problem, the group give me an answer "If you can not overlook, you should graduate, otherwise there is no new NGT48". However, if the environment does not change, I think same thing will happen again. I were enduring, and hoped I could do the best, but the fact is I am just a nobody who can do nothing.
I don't know what is more important then human life. I sincerely wish my important companion can be an idol safely everyday.
Since I disclosed the incident, there are only (Hasegawa) Rena, (Sugahara) Riko and Mofu (Murakumo Fuka) are still willing to come close to me. Therefore, while I know they have made the decision for the future, I have decide to make an announcement. What I can do for NGT48 is only graduation. To all of you, I am sorry.
There were a lot of people supporting me, the people who are the victim suffered the torture I experienced , leave me message, the people who have courage because of me, I am wondering if they are disappointed by this result, I am very sorry about this. I think it is the world people do the right thing, they may not get a return, but I don't think they should suffer.
Thank you I am glad there is a lot of people spend their time supporting me, I hope, in the future, they spend their time to do the thing make them happy, as well as, they hope I will be happy.
For the fans who support me, I am sorry I graduate from the group like this. There were days I sang and danced, and had handshake event every weekend, and we would say "see you", but my final handshake events will be on 5 May 2019 and 6 May 2019. Let's handshake again after my long absence. I will be happy to continue our "see you", let's talk about dream then.
My last day of activities will be on 18 May 2019, a graduation live performance with (Hasegawa) Rena and (Sugahara) Riko together. (Sugahara) Riko who can not participate in the live today due to injury, is undergoing the rehabilitation, for smile once again on the stage. I will be happy if we can show you we can move forward.
What I can do is, I should show you the happy face, not a sad face I did, and give you support. Just like all of you helped me, I hope I can give my hand to the person in need.
For this incident, I once wish I did not join NGT48. But standing on the stage and perform the live together, and get the support from you, I really feel happy about this, I think it is great to join NGT48. I hope members and fans both can move forward in the future, I hope you can have a smiling face all the time.
There is less than a month left, no matter as a person, or a NGT48 member, I hope we can meet again with smile. Please keep supporting."
