Shimazaki Haruka (Paruru) / 9th Generation

They didn't show the footage of her saying the line, but her tone when she said "Say 'woof'" is right up my alley. I wasn't aware Paruru's evil laugh is something I need in my life. Looking forward to hating Yuko come next year.

 

Or you could watch the clip here.

 

Or completely willing to wear the collar. I just want to see how she pulls off scorned and psycho.

 

OMG! thank you so much
she act and talking so natural but she can make everyone in theater laugh so hard maybe she has talent in comedy

 

One of Paruru best in AKB i think, she had her prime when she in Takahashi Team A..not because she reach kami 7 during that time but also she perfectly blended with all member from Team A

 

Another short clip from 'Repeat' Start of filming.

So it would seem the reports of Paru appearing in the Hiyokko SP on Kohaku were greatly exaggerated. Apparently the setting for the SP was an 'End of year party' about 3 months after Mineko's marriage. Most of the cast were there but Aiko (Wakui Imami) was absent because he is out with Yuka (Shimazaki Haruka).
I guess there may have been a part for Yuka but Paru was unable to appear because of other commitments (i.e. working on a drama for a rival network)

Another article, looking at the careers of two former AKB members:-

Shimazaki Haruka & Kawaei Rina "Former AKB48 actress" Great breakthrough in 2017



The article summarises their roles in 2017, saying both have grown as actresses and there are high expectations for 2018

皆さん、めくる。時が来ましたね
Ladies and gentlemen, turn over. The time has come.

Didn't the article mention that neither girl needs to have the term "former AKB" mentioned with their name also?
I was impressed with the year Paruru had kept busy with plenty of acting roles even if just supporting. A jobs a job.
One thing I missed dearly this year has been the absence of magazine covers. Hope she can get a few soon.

 

Yeah, both had great transition years right after Grad.

 

Oh Paruru..You're so lovely and yet, your thiness breaks my heart. I feel like she's gonna break anytime. Not sure if that's the body she wants or if she has not fully recovered yet.. though, truthfully, there is no 100% recovery from asthma..

I'd love to see here gain a little weight in 2018.. it'll greatly put my heart at ease knowing she just wont drop down broken, due to some illness that her thin body couldn't handle...

Hmm.. isn't that what Mariko was gunning for? Shedding the "former AKB" tag and transitioning into being known as an "actress"? If this picks up, looks like Paruru and Kawai are both gonna get that "actress" title sooo much faster than Mariko will..

Here's to Paruru getting more acting jobs and hopefully, a leading role and maybe a movie in 2018-2019.

Also,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

Also, Haruka and Rina are just going to keep getting prettier.

 

Fans were disappointed that Yuka did not appear in the Hiyokko SP on Kouhaku but Paru tweeted:
"由香を覚えてくれていただけでも嬉しいですありがとう❤︎"
"I am happy just to remember Yuka. Thank you ❤"

In fact, it should be no surprise that Yuka did not appear because on her Radio Show, Ep #60, Paruru said:
・わたしは大晦日8年ぶりにお休み頂けたので家族旅行楽しみにしています
· I am looking forward to my family vacation as I got a day off on New Year's Eve for the first time in 8 years

A few Hiyokko off-shots:



Cr: various uploaders

 

Her New Year resolution for this year is 'To be healthy'. As you can hear in the video, her voice is hoarse so she's hoping she'll get better quickly.
Which coincidentally is Hongo Kanata's resolution too. He has a cold practically everyday so he's hoping this year he'll be more resistant to them.
Btw, Paruru calls this duo Haruka Kanata.

 

Yuka’s already stalking the dude. It’s on lol

 

'Repeat' staff burst out laughing when they read her comment -

(When she discovered Hanata's resolution was the same as her's, she tweeted, 'ひぇー！！なんてこったこわっ！'. (Googlish: Hello! What the hell!))

Paruru's Radio Show, Ep #64, 31 December 2017


if the video does not show watch the video here

Back up: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av17712260/?from=search&seid=17730038648174276098

This is the last radio show of 2017 and the first since the new drama was announced. No synopsis, unfortunately, but I wonder if she says anything about it?

 

Asian Kung-fu Generation? lol
hope Paruru back to her prime like what she had in AKB back in 2014
