So..... Yukirin is in Team B performance tonight. 1900, or 7pm Japan time. It is Hikari's B-day stage.
I'm quite upset that she hasn't said anything about the scandal. At least deny it for crying out loud. This is nothing like the late night party scandal. With that one, the management said it was a karaoke hangout and that much was proven. This time, no one is saying anything and it is big enough that even Akimoto is aware of its impact on fans. If she doesn't say anything today, she may lose a few fans.
Good lord it happened a week ago so you all need to just letitgo.mp3 She clearly doesn't want to talk about it. Besides those pics were taken what, two years ago? Anyway, it's not that important lol move along please.
Just a reminder... -- Situation's kinda hard to read now... but her Twitter support is back up to 70%, same general area it was before the scandal... if I've missed it on social media, seems she's made some inroads to balming her fanbase recently -- whew. Not sure if that's the same as making a statement about the scandal though... but it is good her anti have backed off some...
http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...f-all-time-singing.8090/page-103#post-1054995 Yukirin was voted the 5th best singer by the stage48 users. (Most Talented Members of all time: Singing)

^ It will be, until it's acknowledged, of course... which as we've talked about earlier, will add legitimacy to the scandal for anti. It's a tough situation for Yukirin... but the slow burn, silent method buys time for her mgmt, vs. the explosive reaction a press conference or public statement might backlash with right now, without some positive accomplishment to offset the usual sensationallist negativity. But another risk this silent treatment is creating, is a conspicuousness in the legit as well as enta media... pulling in casual-fan and non-fan focus on the scandal -- when Matsumoto listed her as a guest he'd like on the Downtown DX, that's about as wide an audience as you can get to bring awareness of this situation to the non-fan public. However, in one way it can work for Yukirin's mgmt, as the bigger the buzz gets, the more they can demand for first dibs on an interview. Ghetto and unfair for Yukirin... but that's enta for you... At least her Twitter rating's held steady over the last week, and actually went up today 2 more percent.
then a new battle for yukirin has been formed, "CURIOSITY vs Yukirin's determination" off course im gonna be in yukirin side, i hope this scandal forever be a mystery just like "alien" n "ghost"
Just found: She cried on today stage, during Shonichi more screen: http://tmblr.co/ZG6zZv1nnAYTT this is her first time to perform after her scandal. I have bad feeling...
I think the scandal is true. Coz they didn't really speak about it and the media is also curious. Btw, i don't think they were together (in a rs), maybe they spent a night together and that's all.
How do you want her to deny it? What kind of excuse do you think will be acceptable? AKB, watanabe entertainment and yukirin stayed quiet for a week before she appeared on twitter and events. Pretty sure they couldn't find a decent way of denying it and chose to ignore it.
In my opinion, I think she would be better off not actually admitting anything, but taking some form of punishment or acknowledging the matter in some way, and no I don't mean getting kicked out of the group. Spoiler Reportedly, no one has actually been kicked out for breaking that rule since Ayaka, I believe. I know people have said that she is being punished by the fans, but I don't think they see that as a punishment. Every member with a scandal to date has been "punished" by the fans. I feel she would bounce back better, if she were to be punished. She'll have to work her way back up like Sasshi, Miichan, etc., but I think it will be better for her.
since no statement from her or even the management.. I guess this is what it is.. Sashi and Miichan already apologized.. at least there was a closure... how about you guys.. do need a closure or not?
Hmm, kikuchi could've been the next big thing, starts off at the same level as kashiwagi She had the edge though: natural beauty
