Before you know it, the time has come to 2012. www.biquge.info After a troubled 2011, people are looking forward to the new year.

The same is true for AKB48 and Nogizaka 46, who held their AKB48AX100 concert in early January as usual.

Nogizaka 46's first single "Around the Curtains" will be released in February, and Rina Ikoma has no suspense as the central member of the first single.

For her and all the members of Nogizaka 46, the release of the first single means that they have truly started their own idol journey.

As the official opponents of AKB48, they seem a little weak compared to the current AKB, but for them in the future, nothing is impossible.

Just like AKB's first students, Nogizaka 46 first students are the golden generation, and they will surely create their own future.
