How far will you go for your favorite idol? Perhaps buy a CD or two? Cast a vote here and there? How about uprooting your life, and moving across the country? That’s what motivates one wota, as he seeks advice for getting closer to NGT48’s Kato Minami.

Hi there.

Tell me about the good places in Niigata.
By the way, am currently living in Osaka.

I understand how you feel man.
I love Milky so much, I’ve thought about moving to Osaka.

I hate to say this, but you are totally addicted.
Your dreams and reality are getting mixed up.
Slowly and slowly, you will understand.
The more money you spend, some day you will realize, “Why was I so addicted?”

In that area, you have to shovel snow, so it’s annoying.

Kato Mina probably shovels snow too…

The roads in Niigata are brown colored.

When I asked someone who lived there, they said that during winter time, they draw up underground water to melt the ice.

It’s a good city, but when I heard about that, it made my desire to move there diminish, haha.

In Niigata City, drawing underground water is forbidden. But they still do it Akiha-ku, where there is tons of snow.

If you move to Niigata City, you don’t really have to worry about snow. Just avoid the Nishikan, Akiha, and Minami areas.

In a few years, Kato Mina will become part of the AKB48 senbatsu lineup, and then she’ll stop appearing in the theaters.

Getters Iida did say that it was best if she transferred, right?

Wouldn’t you be able to meet her more often if you moved to Tokyo?

Most of the handshake events seem to take place in Tokyo anyway. And it’s pretty easy to take the bullet train to Niigata from there.

I changed my oshimen from Yagura Fuuko to Kato Mina.

But going to Niigata from Western Japan is really inconvenient. I really wish there was a direct train line from Kanezawa to Niigata.

Getting to Osaka from Kanezawa is so easy with the bullet train in western Japan. You should keep supporting Fuu-chan!

She’ll get a concurrent position, and then she’ll just be in Tokyo all the time, right?

You’ll regret it if you confuse Niigata with Niigata City.

You know, there was a time when I was seriously in love with Yabuki Nako when she was 11 years old, and I thought I’d move to Hakata and propose to her. But then I cooled down, thought about it, and stopped myself.

If you’re really thinking about moving, you should also think about what happens after that.

Osaka and Fukuoka are comfortable places to live. In Niigata, when winter comes, it is pure hell.

I’ll be serious with you: there are so many beautiful women in Niigata.

There are lots of Ramen shops in Niigata, and if you go into any of them, the girls who work there are so cute. And their personalities are great too.

If I can, I want to live there too.

We’re talking about Kato Mina, right?

There aren’t a lot of fans yet, so she’ll appear in all the theater performances.

If you look at what happens over the course of a few years, she’ll probably head over to Tokyo, and you’ll only be able to meet her at handshake events.

When you want to see her, I think it’s better to just take a bullet train to Niigata.

And when you get tired of AKB, you’ll still have something left.
