^^ No, I just want to see the taller version of her. Mikurin also said in the interview that she want to experience being centre this year I hope she get what she wish for.
The pictures look great and I'm glad they ended up with a "pajamas" look instead of bikini, more keyakizaka gravure... Mikurin is looking really beautiful as she ages... I'd just like to say that being older and looking older are different things. Even if she looks mature, she's still a child and it would be nice to respect that for as long as possible. There's no turning back after you grow up!
Oh, I see it. I like to do that to. I think the Bikini shots will appear this summer. Just a feeling it will play out like that.
Well. AKB48 Group allows its members to have shoot in bikinis from 1st year of highschool though some members may have it on 3rd year of middle school like Sakura & Naanya. Mikurin will become highschool student in April.
I like the last picture the most, I just hope AKS and wotas would realised how beautiful she is. Here's her netshop for this month, I really like 12byou's costume.
Mikurin cut her hair as long as her shoulder. Not bad but I actually hope it'll be back like previous, at least she keeps her bang.
I think it makes her looks more mature which is great because she's now working on getting rid of loli image. She is very pretty anyway with any hairstyle.
I think changing hair styles, specially from long to short or vice versa is a good way for girls to promote maturing.
It looks nice and it's not very short, so it will grow long again in no time! It's always good to change your hair, it draws some attention!
I've been thinking about 2017 and how it will play out for Mikurin. She and Nao are in a grey zone. What I mean is Natsu and Madoka are firmly in HKT ranking but have no presence in Tokyo while Sakura, Haruppi and Mio are busy in Tokyo and have no time for Hakata. If Mikurin stays in Hakata, her rise will be limited, but to be in Tokyo means she can't be in HKT shows or home concerts and Mikurin isn't established enough in Tokyo to find enough work like her senior HKT members. Give up Odekake for the rare Bingo appearance? How can Mikurin swim over to the Sakura, Haruppi, Mio side?
Doing more photoshoot, I think or sell more handshake event tickets until AKS decided to pushed her more maybe she could appear more on Bingo or become AKB senbatsu.
When Nako started her concurrent position in akb she wasn't well establish either, but look at her last ssk rank... 23, right? So I think Mikurin would benefit from a kennin, however, I don't think she will get one, otherwise it would've happened when Nako got hers... I have a feeling that Matsuoka Hana might get one instead.
