NGT48 is a Japanese idol group formed in October 2015 in Niigata.
History
The creation of the group was announced on January 25, 2015 on the final, fifth day of a traditional series of AKB48 concerts entitled AKB48 Request Hour Setlist Best 1035 2015.[1]
In October 2015, the Niigata-based company Kuriyama Beika Co., Ltd. (栗山米菓) appointed NGT48 a "bakauke PR ambassador", a PR ambassador for its product named bakauke.[2]
As of December 2015, NGT48 is collaborating with McDonalds on a 48-piece bucket of Chicken McNuggets sold in Japan. Each bucket features photos of NGT48[3][4][5][6] and comes with a collectable card with a photo of a random member of the group.[7]
NGT48's own theater is scheduled to open in Niigata on January 10, 2016.[8][9]
The group's members will be part of the cast of an upcoming television series adaptation of Higurashi When They Cry.[10]
