On December 2nd, member Shota Ushirogami announced that he had married former AKB48 member Yui Yokoyama. Ushirogami revealed that he had been told, "Don't be rude to the reporters. Answer the questions honestly," and laughed, saying, "Maybe I summarized it a bit."
Regarding advice for the Kohaku Uta Gassen, he revealed the conversation he and his wife had, saying, "They explained that a lot of people would be watching, so if they made a mistake in the lyrics, it would be obvious."
