According with what is being said in 17ki iina kenkyuujo, in the 3rd fanmeeting which is going to be held in March 4th is going to be allowed the use of the voice for the fans EDIT: And if I understand well, there will be seats for 1300 people there
More people coming to see 17ki for a fanmeeting than people attending Okada Nana's solo con in Tokyo. I can't tell whether I should be happy for 17ki or sad for Naachan
Well, one thing is the seats that are available and other thing is fullfill those seats. But I think they are gonna make it, because if they don't allow chant in the theater earlier than this day, this is goint to be the first event for AKB in many years where the fans will finally be able to raise the voices to cheer the girls, and this is a big thing for the fans.
According to the video description and Google, the seating capacity is 650 people sitting. Neither? At least it's far too early to be either. Naachan is performing in smallish venues for most of the tour length (~500 sitting, ~1000 standing), and quite a few of those are on weekdays, but the final performance of the tour is on a Sunday in Toyosu PIT, with a capacity of ~3k standing or ~1300 sitting
Yeah, after rewatch the part where they anounced it, the capacity is 650 people, but they are going to do 2 performances, so the total is 1300. Sorry for the incorrect information, my bad.
Here's a toast for another 9 months Shinobu-san really uses 17ki a lot for her models lately! More pics of the event from the internet: Spoiler: sources https://twitter.com/miyuu_mizushima/status/1621492133223104513 https://twitter.com/sorara_akb48/status/1621467335172452352 https://www.bubkaweb.com/2023/02/60634/ ======================== Short summary of 17kenkyuujo #23 This time they are using the Masai Detective costumes: The news section is mostly as above mentioned, details on 3rd Real Fanmeeting on March 4. Some more details I caught: Place will be Tokorozawa Sakura Town Hall A 2 rounds, with 650 capacity each. total 650 x 2 = 1300 people Ticket price is 5800 yen for one round, 10000 yen for both rounds ticket (or pass ticket) Pass ticket holders will get a present for coming plus special photo time during omiokuri (when members are seeing you off) There will be some differences in performances for the two rounds Springtime theme, 17ki will wear Seifuku (school uniform) Voice cheer/chants OK Steven Ericoberg is making another masterpiece. The theme is "Geki" (Drama/Theater). There will be Iiken PhotoWalk -> members walking to the furthest seats for photo time. (last time people at the back cannot properly take pictures, it seems) First ever AKB48 event in Japan that allows voice chant? We are on track to normalcy again. Their current subscribers are at 1420, still can't break 1500. I doubt all of them can come to fanmeeting so maybe that's why they are selling the pass ticket too. No mention of livestreaming this time. Masaru was asked on what should people chant for her? Masaru? Masa-chan? Mayuu? She said she'll leave it to the fans. New songs since Nemohamo rumor don't have fanchants/mixes, including Wonderful Love, so I wonder if we'll hear them! At least the fans tried to do that for Hisalippu today in Thailand. The rest of the episode is them playing games. The first game is similar to Werewolf but with more roles and action cards. The second game is Eriko-Ou (King of Eriko?), where they have to guess what Erichan answered for each question. Play along if you want, Eriko's answer can be very out of ordinary you'd never get it right. Spoiler: ErikoOu Game What do you recently like doing? Spoiler Ordering UberEats! Not only Erichan but recently Hotechan has been ordering from morning too. Only Chihougumi members would understand this feeling, she said. Masaru : Ahh you've been influenced by city life... Erichan is from Osaka, but seems like there's no UberEats there? (Related to Q1 above) What did you get for your first one? Spoiler It was a McDonald order! What's your favorite fruit? Spoiler American Cherry! What's your favorite Onigiri fillings ? Spoiler It's the "just salt" version. Can be with or without Nori. Her grandma usually makes her these so she likes it, but basically she loves the taste of salt onigiri. What would you have for your very last dinner? Spoiler For her very last dinner she would like to have Ikinari Steak's Steak She often goes there with Hotechan. If you could be someone else in your generation, who would it be? Spoiler Sorara, she loves how easy it is for Sorara to make smiles/expression. What's a habit that you usually do without thinking? Spoiler Doing PukuGao , puffing cheeks What would you bring to a deserted island? Spoiler DokoDemoDoa/"Anywhere Door" from Doraemon If you win a lottery, what would you do? Spoiler Assuming it's three billion nine hundred million yen, she will simply stop working! Where do you want to go for a date? Spoiler Aquarium or riding on a long bus trip to enjoy the scenery. She simply likes riding a bus. Eriko Ou / King of Eriko game winner: Spoiler Sorara wins! And that was it. Next episode #24 will be on Feb 10. Will feature Kokko, Nonchan, Yukinee, and Hotechan! Also known as the B4 (Baka4) because they scored the lowest for the last knowledge test. Don't mention it to Yukinee, she usually gets angry if she's included in this group. Will appropriately let them do a General Knowledge quiz, as well as celebrating Kokko's birthday a bit early.

She's still trying her best to be able to attend tomorrow. She feels really sorry for the fans, but she's also very upset on her situation. https://twitter.com/airi_sato0624/status/1621498622264377344 UPDATE : from what I read of fans on the location, she joined the rehearsal the night before, but was fully with mask while the rest was without mask. Perhaps she got sick. Bad luck. ========================== 17ki on Sayonara Mouri again next week! They will be consulting their senpais regarding various things after being in the group for a while. ======================= Kokko cute clumsy zenza mishap (video)https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1621084676868947969/pu/vid/1280x720/MOzPBWNNDtrQCTch.mp4 After doing zenza performance for Team8 show recently, at the end Kokko forgot the title of the show, Sono Shizuku wa, Mirai e to Tsunagaru Niji ni Naru and froze for a while In the end the curtain closes and Hotechan helped her saying the title.

DragonEgg Collab - Kokko and Hotechan pretty much guaranteed in Top 7 ?! So if I understand it correctly, Kokko and Hotechan guilds have been winning all 5 battles so far (out of 15 for each member) According to fans' math, by this point it should secure top 7 position for them !(and Okarina ) (EDIT: SORRY it's HAMA-chan not OkaRina!! I misread the table) Kokko TV CM debut before Theater Debut??? If the math is true, very happy for them!

I was actually trying to find a real tail in that costume. No. There's a reason Sorara deleted that tweet. Maybe Hotechan was too wonderful there. ======================= From Yukinee tweet: Seems like on Monday Feb 6, 17:00 Theater Show, there will be something that will really surprise everyone? https://twitter.com/yuki_hirata0903/status/1622242897616859136 Hmm I wonder what would it be? Hairstyle change? 18ki introduction? Kokko on stage? The start time is unusual, usually 18:30 for evening, but it's 17:00 tomorrow. Can't wait for it! ================ 17ki got a section on 48Group Circle Jam ONLINE Concert It was just a video compilation of theater clips, with Wonderful Love as BGM, but still wonderful! Watch here (clipped video) : https://twitter.com/HEARTSTATION648/status/1621743755312377858 or here (original, 17ki part at 1:27:52) : link
Ooh good catch! Yes it's possible. She was with Remi a few times on senbatsu jobs IIRC, but interaction with Senatan hugely hints on Team B show indeed. Her notes there says "Because they are always friendly with me " I wish they could give her a bit of a break though, girl's pretty busy. Also actually? I wished they learn another position for Tadaima Renaichuu instead so they can spice it up a bit. Yeah seems like it's from Feb 5: That tweet got deleted, she ended up not doing SHOWROOM, and missing her usual mobame that day.... did she get into trouble? hopefully not hahaha Apologies for OkaRina fans, I misread the table, it's Hama-chan that's almost guaranteed top 7 along with Hote and Kokko. =================== 5th AKB48G No. 1 Singer Competition, Unit Competition As mentioned before, Sorara-Masaru-Aichan formed a unit for the competition, They will sing "Hanamizuki" by Hitoto Yo ! Original song here if you are not familiar with it The girls talking about the experience singing in unit and each other strengths : (video) https://twitter.com/AKB48G_singer/status/1622477916222406656 Sorara covers low voice range, Masaru covers high range and harmonizing, while Aichan is in the middle. They hope they can convey the feeling of the lyrics, also they hope with this singing program, people will be more interested in 17ki singing in other events too. Lastly, they asked Masaru to pull for the lottery of performance order. (Might be because Masaru was lucky in Budokan last time). They were hoping for early performance like #4 or something. Unfortunately Masaru luck seems to be all used in Budokan and she pulled #14 for their turn to appear... which basically means they will be the last. more details of the unit competition -> @lionel90 post here : link ================== BLONDE YUKINEE ?? This was the surprise she mentioned in her tweet!! However, her hair change was never discussed in any of the MC in that show. Only Masaru poked a bit about her looking unusual and that was it. And usually KKS aren't allowed to even change their hairstyle, so a drastic color change like this is unprecedented. Hence, some fans are assuming it's for a job that is currently still unannounced..... TBH it kinda fits her okay! Certainly doesn't really fit with the theater outfits, but I believe it would look great with her coordination of outfits.
Hirata Yuki is GORGEOUS! So that was the surprise she was talking about and it's a much pleasant one. She looks really pretty with blonde hair, it fits her perfectly. We had a small discussion about hair dye at the Sakurazaka thread and it was noted that AKB used to enforce very harsh rules in the past towards hair dye, and that's indeed true. However, in 2023, you have kenkyuusei dying their hair, we are truly in another era and things have changed and this has nothing to do with korea whatsoever lol k-pop is popular worldwide nowadays and is specially big in japan. one can totally say she has been inspired by korean idols hairstyles and there's nothing wrong with it! it's trending! most akb girls are k-pop fans, heck even yukirin is a big k-pop fan. and that's not a new thing, acchan was already known to be a big tvxq fan back in the day... anyway, yukinee isn't going anywhere!
Welcia group x AKB48 Collab! https://m.e-welcia.com/drug/20230206_welcia_akb48 Welcia group is a drug store chain in Japan with 2000+ stores. They are currently having a campaign where your receipt of purchases in their stores can be used to get points and lottery for various prizes including AKB48 event and goods such as: AKB48 Original Mobile Wallpaper AKB48 Online Event Invitation Signed Cheki The event is divided per Area of Japan, and each area will have the online event sometime in May 2023 with 3 Main members (Hiichan, Erii and Mahopyon) plus 2 Area members. The Area members are: Hokkaido + Tohoku area: Kokko, Nagichan Kanto area: Aichan, Sahhoo Chubu area: Harupyon, Hiyuka Kinki/Kansai area: Serika, Zunchan Chugoku, Kyushu, Okinawa area : Remitan, Reichama Samples: Kokko with Welcia's mascot, Uetan! Thanks @Aka ! She looks really nervous here The rest of AKB48 members will have posters in various store, divided by area. Specifically for 17ki: Hokkaido + Tohoku area: Mizumin, Nonchan Kanto area: Yukitan, Yukinee Chubu area: Masaru, Sorara Kinki/Kansai area: Erichan, Hotechan Chugoku, Kyushu, Okinawa area : None Full pics that have 17ki: ============== This is just a guess, but seems like Eizo Souko is recording the usual commentary on Budokan Concerts, with 2 17ki girls included. They were trying to be cryptic with hints like these: I read that as Yukirin, Pyon (not sure which one) and 17ki pose x 2. What do you think?? Source: https://twitter.com/AKBG_eizousouko/status/1622562660582842368 =================== Forgot to mention the most important part that it'll be aired on Feb 10, at 9 PM JST. Competition seems tough, but holding out hope they'll make it to the final round! ======================== Photo and Video of the Feb 6 Theater Show: (video, cute!)https://twitter.com/akb_trainee48/status/1622590390753972224 They were expressing their love to each other during the MCs today (in regards to valentine theme). Clearly they are aware that Yukinee is the center of attention today, she was put in center for group photos, but the girls made no specific mention whatsoever, this make me really curious. I heard Hirata Yuki tag was trending a bit during the show. ================= Showroom event for new generation 48G members: Since the kenkyuusei twitter retweeted this, most likely 17ki are going to participate. Especially the fashion leaders should join, I think. read more here -> http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/akb48-group-x-showroom.16419/page-39#post-1784912 ================== WILD RUMOR take with tons of salt Spoiler: No source, might just be imagination The reason 17ki Show started early today at 17:00 is because some of them are going to be in Senbatsu for 61th Single and today is the day for the all senbatsu members have lessons together for the new song. (seems like all senbatsu members are having lesson so this is the assumption) Also Mizumin cancelled her usual nightly SHOWROOM. Maybe she was too tired from lessons or it lasted until late night? There's also Muto Tomu's graduation lesson, as Taniguchi Megu hinted, but 17ki shouldn't have anything to do with that. Anyway, new single or not, there was something happening that evening on Feb 6.
Finally, It has announced that Kokko will perform shonichi "Tadaima Renaichuu" on February 28th. Congrats baby girl!
Spoiler Do you know if she was already in Hokkaido on the 7th? From my experience with another Hokkaidoan, they usually wake up early in the morning to catch a flight, but the shinny one released her first Hokkaidoan post only on the 8th.
