I was picked for the new AKB48 single! It's right before I graduate, and it's my first time to get picked in 6 years😭 It became more and more difficult to leave my mark on AKB before graduating but I finally did it. I'm preparing myself so I can show my best right till the end~
Miyu 'I've been an idol for 9 years, but I've never once been able to rank within the top 100 in AKB. But I came to Korea because I wanted to be an idol, I'll continue doing my best in the future'

The 2007 anime film 5 Centimeters per Second (by the director of Your Name) is divided up into three segments set in Tochigi, Kagoshima and Tokyo. By coincidence, these are also the hometowns of Hitomi, Sakura and Nako respectively

I've seen a lot of people confused about the Jurina at SSK issue and her apparently yelling at Sakura and making her cry and fans getting angry at her, but I've yet to see a proper English summary of all of it so I'm going to post a thread here

take with a grain of salt!
I’m back! …..I don’t want to cry in front of you guys… Sorry for interrupting Kano-chan’s birthday show… I’m Matsui Jurina. Thank you, but first, before anything else, my sympathies to people affected by today’s earthquake in the Hokkaido and Tohoku region

Bibian forgot to log off after Showroom and accidentally broadcast herself getting excited over Tokyo Tower presents (kinda like fan donations) LOL
One Tower costs about $USD108 to the fan but the member only receives about $8
Btw her salary is about $1600 a month
Sakura: It was about 70% female fans today…. I’ve never really had so many females cheering for me before so it was a really precious experience. We were all really nervous, but I think we were able to show a great performance

#1
next round!'
#PRODUCE48
Goal?
Sakura: We'll do our best so that one day we can perform at Tokyo Dome. Instead of just "Japanese idols" or "Korean idols", we want to become a global idol group who can meet and perform for fans from all around the world

Great words from Ninety Nine in Ep11:
"In the past audition shows we've hosted, there have been contestants that went on to be much more successful than the final winners. Some of you may still have another chance to debut in the future."

Wonyoung: (A Japanese phrase I've learnt recently) is "trust in me". I used to get it wrong but Saku-chan helped me by correcting me one day and I've remembered it since

(It's cute how Wonyoung uses polite language with Sakura in Korean but a bit more relaxed in Japanese)

Something interesting - usually idol j-fans don't really care about how included or not overseas fans are because in terms of the success narrative they're largely irrelevant, however in contrast JO1 j-fans are extremely conscious of how important the international base is

Lyrics and Music by Mizuno Yoshiki of Ikimonogakari

Just from the text it seems rather inflammatory but on morning TV today the footage was played and we can see that Jurina was actually quite apologetic and regretful
For the 2nd FNS Song festival on 12th Dec, Akimoto Yasushi has written a special idol song to commemorate the end of the Heisei era, to be performed by 24 members selected from AKB, Nogizaka, Keyzakizaka and IZ*ONE

Gyuri 'Would it be bad to change the centre now? If I mess up I'll ruin the whole thing'
Miyu 'In my opnion, what the traineers said about your singing was caused by how worries about the stage, but if you can overcome that, we can make a really great performacne'
#produce48
wanna see jo1 go full jpop . MV with one sound stage and props and just make the members do all the work. track written by HYADAIN with fake trumpets and talking bits the whole way through. lyrics with puns. wanna see the tlist meltdown
watching clips from PDJP1 and reminded of how broke production values bad lighting zero performance level boys who all quite literally walked in off the street NONE OF THAT MATTERED bc we had friendship and fun ... PDJP1 unbeatable
Disappointed, but not surprised. Japanese fans are incensed though, and the alleged lack of any fan chants at the show tonight indicate that a boycott may just happen

Sakura: It’s been about 3 months since we started studying Korean properly, and the Korean members have helped us out a lot, so I’d like to think we’re getting better fast, but the three of use (Japanese members) still have a long way to go

After the juggle challenge...
Junki: I kind of lost control but it helped me lengthen my stride
Junki: Like Usain Bolt
MC: You can call your new single that, 'Out-of-Control-then-Usain-Bolt'

MC: STOP THAT

Finally, one more thing I have to show appreciation: thank you for 1st place in this year’s AKB election! I’m really happy seeing everyone’s lightsticks change colour for me right now. With me at 1st place and Suda-chan at 2nd, SKE and Team S are really on a high.

I apologise for my long hiatus. Thank you. However being here in front of all the fans who were thinking of me and waited for me, and having the other members welcome me back makes me very happy. I’ll take this as encouragement in the future, thank you very much

Is everyone ready to see the rest of the performance? Okay, then let me the first one to say it: happy birthday Kano-chan! Everyone, please enjoy the rest of the show, and please set aside your tears for another time. And with that, here’s Team S!

Shion: Icarus is about a legendary monster
Ren: just like the legend, Icarus is about flying high with your wings towards the sun even if you know that one day they'll melt away (he dances while he does this, it's very theatric) #ストレンジャーなJO1
Seunggi: If you were able to debut in Korea, is there anything you're abit worried about?
Nako: My height
Seunggi: Your height is also part of your charm! Besides you can just wear high heels

Sakura: We mix the two languages together when we talk to one another
Hitomi: Sometimes even when we’re spoken to in Korean we end up answering back in Japanese, it’s kind of like that

I’m back. How has everyone been? I’m doing great!
I have an announcement to make.
I will be making my debut as a member of Octpath.
5 months ago I wasn’t able to complete my goal of “making a debut”, leaving me feeling frustrated and sad.
