Episode #057: Talking to the Girls is More Important Than Touching Them

Question for the Community: What do you think would be a good alternative for the traditional handshake event as the COVID-19 situation gets under control?   As we continue to bunker ourselves at home, the NMBros go into the detail about NMB48's 23rd Single "Datte Datte Datte" including the music video and at-home dance video, the future of concerts and handshake events, the never-ending graduation streak, and the current trend Zoom streams with the members.   During these lonely times, a community of like-minded folks is a good thing to have.
