Recently, it’s announced NMB48’s namesake show, “Dokking 48” on Kansai TV net will be dropped. And the news brought quite a big disappointment to fans of the group based in Namba.
But it’s too early to whine!
Today, Kansai TV announced program lineup for this Spring, and among the programs announced today is “NMB to Manabu-kun” (NMBとまなぶくん – NMB and Manabu-kun)!! The show, naturally, features NMB48 members!
Sadly though, chances are high that awesome comedians like Kendo Kobayashi or Tamura Kenji, who have been great mentors for the members, won’t join this show.
The show will be aired from 0:35 midnight every Thursday. The first episode will be aired on April 11th.

Comment from Maeda Atsuko:
“Half because of being nervous, half because it was so confortable, I was dozing off (during the filming) all the time like Tamako.
I actually fell asleep sometimes, and enjoyed playing gmaes seriously, but as a result, those helped me prepare for the role.
I could never be more sluggish than when I acted as Tamako. So it’s embarrassing to watch the scene where I eat meals. Because it’s so gross! But that was also a fun experience.”
