I’m Hachiko-chan, a fan of 超特急 (Chōtokkyū ) for 12 years and counting! I usually blog in Japanese, but I'm sharing this special summary in English for international fans too. Welcome aboard! 🚄🩷
Are you curious about the Japanese dance and vocal group “超特急” (aka Chōtokkyū)?
In international fandoms, they are sometimes referred to as **“Bullet Train”** (a direct translation of their name) or abbreviated as **“CTQ.”**
In this blog post, I’ll summarize their member list by different orders such as: - Member number order - Height order - MC order - Age group
"8-gōsha" (the fanbase name) is also explained!
If you're new to “超特急”, this is a great place to start discovering who’s who in the group.
Chōtokkyū (超特急) is a Japanese boy group with the unique concept of “main dancers & back vocals.” Inspired by trains, each member is assigned a “car number” (号車/gōsha), like seats or cars in a train.
Fans are called “8-gōsha” (8号車), literally meaning “the 8th car,” which symbolizes the fandom.
