We kick off the new year by catching up on some news from last year before talking about the big shake up involving the current structure of NMB. We spend almost an hour talking about the new NAMBATTLE project, including what we currently know about the competition, and take a deep dive analyzing the groups and their strengths and weaknesses, who we think is going to win, and judge the groups' creativity or lack thereof. We also spend some time looking back at YNN's 24 hour special program and more. Lastly, we take some time to discuss the current state of overseas fans trying to participate in online handshake events and failing.

On this emergency edition of Takoyaki Party, we hastily gather together to discuss the biggest news to happen in NMB history: the graduation announcement of Yamamoto Ayaka. We talk about her future plans, what we predict will be NMB’s production schedule for the near future, how her departure will affect the fragile new NMB that is still getting its footing.
If you have any comments or thoughts on Aayan’s graduation or how it affects the future of NMB, tell us in the comments.

On this episode, we talk about all the shows that NMB and its members were on in the past month, including CDTV, their fake Music Station show that's actually better than Music Station, COVID-19 infecting members of the group, as well as the recent graduation announcements of Antan and Yukitsun, with a discussion about the future of Danceable with Yukitsun and we'd like to see become of Danceable in the future. Lastly, we spend a half hour talking about Saepii's graduation concert with impressions of the performances and how we learned a lot about Saepii at the worst possible time. Here's a link to a translated clip of her speech. https://teppensubteam.tumblr.com/post/637919947715198977/murase-sae-graduation-concert-speech We close out our last regular podcast of the year with a tease of our upcoming Best of 2020 Awards Show.

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.

At long last, the fabled 7th Generation of NMB48 has arrived! The NMBros discuss in great deal about their initial impressions of the new members including potential superstars and early favorites. We also catch up on a lot of news, online concerts, livestreams and more. We discuss the great YouTube face-off between Shiroma Miru, Shiraishi Mai and PSY. 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. Who do you think will be the next Aayan or Cocona? Which member or members are your favorite.

On this very early, hot as heck edition of NMB Takoyaki Party, we talk at length about Yoshida Akari's graduation announcement, discuss her impact on the NMB group as whole, NMB's future in a Post-Yamada (Post-Watanabe and Post-Yamamoto and Post-Yoshida) world. 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? Are you surprised by the members that didn't participate? Which 7 members do you think will rank in the final results?

We close out 2018 with our annual awards show and have brought in most our cast including regulars Matt, Ryan, and Geoff, but also guests Andi and Daryl. This is the combined original recording of our talks so it's a bit different from the youtube version. The categories we talk about include Best Song of 2018, Best Old Song of 2018, Best Member, Best New Member, Best Event, Best Sayaka Sonic Moment, Best Media Content, Biggest News, and Most Disappointing Member.
The crew is back to give a more detailed recap on Yamamoto Sayaka’s graduation concert “Sayaka Sonic” as well as talk about the New NMB Captain Kojima Karin and the second round of NMB theater’s special performance week. For our meta-topic, we discuss the different ways former Sayaka-oshis can stay with NMB
In a special bite-sized edition of Takoyaki Party, Matt interviews fellow NMBros and friends about what they thought about Yamamoto Sayaka's graduation concert. Note: Most of these interviews were recorded in a noisy izakaya so please be understanding of the audio quality.
We are back after some unfortunate timing from the last episode to give you “informed” opinions on NMB latest rap album, “Boku Date Naichau YO!” Additionally we talk in detail about the 8th Anniversary concerts, Sayaka’s last handshake events, NMB team shuffle speculation, made up song titles, and the consequences in increasing Japan’s consumption tax.
