AKB48’s “little sister” group, Osaka-based NMB48, will be providing the theme song in a promotional spot for “chideji”, known as terrestrial digital broadcasting in English. The group, who are being deemed as “chideji promotion idols”, will provide the promotional spot with their very first original song, “Seishun no Rap Time“.

When asked about the new commercial, member Jounishi Kei answered honestly about the nervousness that was felt about one of their first public activities promoting as a group: “Because it was the first spot (commercial), it was fun but tense“.

When asked about the song, member Yamamoto Aya described it as a song she really liked, stating that it was a “very cute idol song,” written specifically by AKB48 creator Akimoto Yasushi for the purpose of promoting terrestrial broadcasting.

There is currently no release date for the song, but the commercial will begin airing on May 13th.
