Looking at the member list though, you kinda feel like she'll be right at the back... there're just too many pushed members ^^;; This is going to be a super cute song though.
Hey guys! I'm selling votes again this year and I have discounted votes especially for Seichan! She's had a lot of push this year and I really want to see her rank well. They are all $7 right now but will go up to $8 for other members after April. (They wont go up for Seichan) Let's get Seichan to rank in! http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/selling-ssk-votes-7-8.19098/
seichan went on a date with namahamu ~ she uploaded a pic on G+, but these are from namahamu's twitter
Instagram is going to be such a great tool for her because she's one of the more fashionable idols. Twitter can be filled with vicious trolls and it's harder for them to get noticed in IG lol
It is probably AKB management adhering to the twitter app rating (either that or the management simply put their own age restriction), which I believe is 17 or older. Hiwatan immediately tweeting again after she turned 17, so you need to wait until August to see Seichan tweets.
Seichan is so fashionable! Looking forward to see more Instagram posts from her, and it's great to have an alternative to social media despite Twitter's age restriction.
I just watched a reupload, can someone tell me the gist of what she's saying? my Japanese is weak and I get the simple things (undergirls goal, wearing her center outfit) but I still feel like I'm missing out ㅠㅠ
@miraise "My goal for this year's SSK is undergirls. The reason beings that I turn 17, meaning that I won't be fresh forever. I really think this year is the year to make things happen. The costume I'm wearing right now is the one from the coupling song on High Tension, Osaekirenai Shoudou, for which I was chosen as center, and which came in at no.25 during RH. Thank you very much for that. In the way got a lot of chances last year, I want to grab them again this year together with everyone. Thank you for your support." Her poster says so much as: "I want to get fired up, I want to run further." I agree with her that this is her year. Seichan has been my AKB favorite since I first saw this photo in mid-2014: From then on I followed her, and usually she was in the back. Started checking her G+ and saw that she had really odd and funny interactions in the comments of her post, with either herself or people like Ichikawa Manami. Often went over 100 comments I had to translate lol: Reading my old posts (with dead links RIP) I realise how much stuff she has gotten this year, it's really been amazing for her. Back then an AnDare was already amazing lol. I'll be voting for her this year, I really think she'll make it. In related news: She had a big interview in the AKB newspaper. Went to Okinawa with Mion, Megu and Team 8 Okinawa rep Ranri to promo the SSK there. And she'll be going back to Okinawa on the 28th to do a live and talkshow thing Her bit in the guide
Not really I think. You have some members that do get help, or even their big boost of fans from it. But if you know some of them (like Tanaka Yuka from HKT), you can probably see Seichan is not the same. It'll be more something that comes with the increased popularity, rather than vice-versa. What I do think might help is just some good photoshoots, more than what everyone thinks about when they hear gravure. I always thought she had a good expression and face for serious and 'cool' shoots. Maybe something fashionable or artsy, think about her insta. And as most people know her as a cute smiley type I think some of those can turn some heads. Like an atmospheric shoot in UTB or something. Take some examples from her first ever Boku no Taiyou performance that happened today:
@DeJure Thank you SO much for that, honestly!! Seichan's my oshi but because I don't know Japanese I always have to ask my friends to tell me what's going on with her. The translation was more than I could ever ask for ㅠㅠ I was having trouble looking for her scan from the guidebook too. I really think this will be Seichan's year too. I haven't followed her for long, about early 2016? But even in that time frame she got to center a song, make the janken senbatsu, got a gravy offer with Komi and Ami.. I think she'll definitely rank but I'm not sure if she'll make the jump Komi did last year.
Seichan cried in her Showroom today asking for votes ㅠㅠ She's so desperate to rank, I hope to god she makes it
