Well, it's been a while since I posted here and I wondered if everyone bothered to post some things in her threads but, it seems I have to do my job again. Anyway, the verdict was out on the Koi Koujou series, and what surprised everyone, including the Wotas, was Emiri being 8th on the rank, up there with some of the seasoned AKB idols http://www.akb48rompen.com/archives/49664305.html Ranking includes: 01 - Watanabe 02 - Yamamoto 03 - Shimazaki 04 - Miyawaki 05 - Matsui 06 - Yokoyama 07 - Kashiwagi 08 - Yamashita <------ 09 - Kitahara
Judging from reading the Koi Koujou thread here in the forums, it still puzzles me somehow how she got the 8th position. For one, I rule out the possibility of having supporters in the Philippines. I rarely knew some people who would oshi her from the wota circles here since the fanbase here is fragmented and even then, I have not seen any translated links for voting (I didn't even vote.) Personally, I'd say her acting performance in the episode isn't at all that stellar, which made me rule out the possibility that the judges themselves may have scored it highly. And I'm highly suspect that Emiri may have had a sizeable fanbase to even get all of those votes. So I'm boiling facts down to the following: Spoiler 01 - There might have been a "you're our representative" kind of voting among fans, which means to say that since she represents a particular group, she gets their vote (in this case team TII 02 - I might be miscalculating the size of her fanbase. 03 - There might be fans who might have had repeat votes. 04 - Some may have been jumping ship to vote for her. 05 - I may have miscalculated how the judges voted for her. 06 - Voters may have wanted a fresh face. But to tell you all the truth, she just has this performance in it that speaks of that "image" when it comes to drama. All in all, I'd really hope that this would open for her getting more acting jobs . I honestly believe that Emiri might actually be made up for acting rather than idol stuff and these things could be signs for her. Who knows, really. She kind of surprises me a lot. A few months back, I've posted about her looking a bit like the Hirose sisters, and guess what, it did come true somehow in one of her Google+ blog entries here, albeit almost a month back: Source: http://plus.google.com/u/0/10549386...6326535267686123618&oid=105493861434312425996 Spoiler Good Evening Crocodile, Since it's the Tanabata today, Me and Saepyon went out! First, we had our nails done, And, ate a meal, looked at (western-style) clothes. We absolutely went round round! Yeahhh~ During hanging out, There were a lot of things that happened. It was interesting. But. When Saepyon and I were walking, A group of young boys were walking past us, And they looked at me, Kid A: Huh? Isn't it Suzu Hirose? Kid B: Really, so very cute. Kid C and D: Are you kidding? Really? Maybe you're mistaken? And they said that, chasing after me! I'm happy but, It's a mistake and if you'd speak to me, I think I'd be bothered! Anyway, we were walking while looking down. We roared with laughter among ourselves. ........... And some people find this capture of hers from the HKT48 documentary really cute And the latest photo collection can be found here: https://shopping.akb48-group.com/products/detail.php?product_id=47641&hkt48 And her latest Google Plus uploads: Goofin off with Saepyon: http://moviestat.7gogo.jp/output/MEQhDzZDNmu9GtN76wEuUm==/hq/kXWqFHMFZaOo5CxMxr4arVwZ.mp4 Anyway, personally, I've been comparing her to this girl I found in Twitter who kind of speaks like her and looks like her. Her name is MEY-chan from an indie idol group PICK-UP GIRLS (they need to change their name.) What do you think? if the video does not show watch the video here
In the latest Odekake,there was a young boy and they asked him who he thought was cute and he pointed Emiri!She got shy so that was cute!^^ She's really similar to Ume on that kind of things!
Love it! Finally odekake fun to watcch again (getting bored watching it rececntly, don't blame me ) It's been a while I laughed hard watching odekake, They should make Emily as MC more often xD,
Emiri's mom made Adobo(Filipino food). 1:25 "mom's japanese is weird" *laughs* if the video does not show watch the video here
adobo is also a south american food right? emiri shoukd just go to south america for a season to learn latin dancing so she will be the best idol ever Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
Looks like there are other versions of Adobo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobo The one she showed is the Flip version.
Emiri was featured on a video from the MNL48 facebook fanpage about joining MNL48! With Hanachan! https://www.facebook.com/mnl48offic...wMCwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEsInJlc3VsdF90eXBlIjoyNzR9
It's been a while for me here but did Goto seriously made a mistake uttering Emiri's name in AKBingo? http://asukyann.blog.jp/archives/73075693.html https://twitter.com/keikeikei9/status/927936524582248449
