Not just members of JNR48, but many members of other SNHG groups are also fans of individual SNHG members, teams, groups, etc. themselves, & one of their reasons for joining an SNHG group is to get close to their idols. XD

Quick update: 16 top SNHG members have just arrived in Japan for the shooting of the MV for their upcoming new single over there.

A fan video of several prominent SNHG members performing the Japanese version of a popular SNH48 stage number at a live house in Tokyo yesterday:


The performance has never been officially announced by the SNHG - looks more like an arrangement by their local fans over there w/ the approval of the SNHG lol (BTW, the SNHG will hold a full-blown formal concert in that city next month).

A glimpse of a non-theater-performance theater event at the exclusive theater of CGT48 just days ago:


^ Note that that stage isn't the one in the theater's auditorium for theater performances, which's much bigger - in fact, the biggest among all the SNHG groups. :)

Pics of a veteran 3rd-generation member in the 3rd team of SNH48 performing at a special theater performance last night:

微博

The founding member of the team is one of the only two remaining 3rd-generation members in both the team & the group, & since all the 1st- & 2nd-generation members have already graduated or left the group, she & that other 3rd-generation member, who's also her BFF, have now been regarded as the big guardians of both the team & the group. The songwriter & speaker of three languages (perhaps four, if the dialect of Cantonese is also counted) is also a member of two elite subgroups of the SNHG & an MVP of the last season.
