    with her participation in MG4 i think that's a good start in this year, i hope in the future she'll get a lot of activities and better than last year (Tentoumuchu comeback please!).

    *Edit: almost forgot that these two days she killed me twice lol

    @Neve - Thank you for the translation! It brings a new perspective to how things go as a fan. The part of the newer members worrying about AKB losing popularity (holes on the seating, people not actually paying attention to the mini concerts, etc.) is a really interesting counterpoint to the idea of "newer members just riding on AKB's popularity brought about by the old members". I think it really shows how, sometimes painfully, aware these girls are about the dynamics in the group. The part about senbatsu members half filled with sister groups and feeling it's because they're not "strong" enough is a bit frustrating to me because it's definitely not all their fault.

    You're welcome! ^_^
    It worries me about the future, too. It feels like the old members are graduating all at once, and the new members are being pushed to develop too fast to take their places when they aren't ready. Poor Mako having to worry that she's not in the 16-member senbatsu, when she only joined the group two-and-a-half years ago.

    ^ Oh, I didn't notice that. Well, I saw the photo on her Google+ a little while ago, though. Pretty hot - definitely not my normal image of her!
    The article isn't very interesting, though. Like most news articles, it's mostly padding. They speculate that it's from a gravure shoot for a magazine, and it says (about five times) that when she put it up, her male fans went crazy. They have a couple of examples of comments on the post, "I really like Kojimako recently, she's becoming so cute." That kind of thing. The only one that surprised me was this one:「クリームがはみ出すぞ」I might be mistranslating, but "I'm about to come!" Really!? They printed that in the news!? Haha. At the end, it just says some stuff about her election rank, and that she's expected to rise up a lot this year.

    @Neve Thanks a lot for the interview translation! That was so interesting to read.

    I think it's not the first time Mako has been worried for AKB... Ever since Yuko's graduation announcement (one year ago) she started to talk about AKB's future. Even if she's a new gen, she already thinks so much and speaks so well too. I love the way she thinks! It's true that many fans assume that new gens just get it easy because they join a group who's already at the top so they have nothing to worry about, but people forget that when old gens are leaving, who knows what will happen to the group... New gens have lots of things to worry about, especially in situations like Mako said (how they don't have enough fans attending events when there's only new gens). I hope she (and the rest of new gens) will take all this in a positive way, and use it to encourage themselves to improve their popularity, skills, etc. in order to have their own big fandoms and keep AKB at the top in the future too.

    Btw I noticed Mako talks a lot about Tentoumu Chu!, I think it's because she's now in team K, she's far from her same gen friends, she probably miss the times when they promoted in TTMC together, and she really doesn't want the subunit to disband... They got their own songs already, but didn't have an official debut... I hope management won't give up on the subunit, and this year they can have their official debut (and also a new Tv show!).

    Oh also, I'm happy Mako got a role in Maji 4! I already expected that she would be selected for the drama ^-^
    It's even better that she has a combi with Naanya, since they're both my favs from new gens. wHiroko and now Kamisori & Zombie! <3

    Btw at the beginning of the interview, it says they did an interview before too, related to AKB49 with Mako and Naanya, is there any translation of that? Because I love these two together. and I love the AKB49 friendships. I'm glad AKB49 musical will be back this year! I hope they release it in DVD too!

    And although I'm not really into gravure, but actually I really love that picture of Mako @paman22 [hehe] She looks so adorable! I love her expression! :XD:

    It was like I was going through a tumblr run; I was like "let's see what Makotin's up to". I see one of her shoots where she was wearing white. Then I was like :shocku: when in the hell... Oh welp, she is a Kojima after all.:^^;:

    For a long time now, there has been a lot of talk about a wave of graduations coming but so far, from senbatsu only Acchan, Mariko, Tomochin, Sayaka and Yuko graduated. That's five girls in total.

    Here and there I read that juniors aren't ready yet. Seniors have to stay on because juniors aren't ready yet or something along those lines.

    Well Acchan, Mariko, Tomochin, Sayaka and Yuko didn't have any seniors to depend on either. Nobody warned Takamina a full year in advance that she will have to lead the group. Sometimes I think everyone including management thinks AKB48 juniors are a bunch of helpless little babies.

    They are not helpless. They want to take over the baton and they want to do it rather sooner than later. Kojimako wants to be center. Tano wants to be captain. Yui wants to be general manager for a long time now. She is going to have to wait for another year. For as long as I am following her, Kojimako is talking about how seniors are graduating and juniors want to step up. And they are stepping up. But they are not getting the opportunities to make their dreams come true.

    Instead management is clogging half of senbatsu with sister group members. Disbanding Tentoumuchu. Disbanding team 4. For the Majisuka lead they use a sister group member and a 9th generation member. The 9th generation has been around since 2009. They are not exactly juniors anymore.

    I read that article too http://news.aol.jp/2015/01/05/kojimamako/ I can't believe people make a living off publishing trash like this lol

    Ok now what I actually came here for.

    2014/12/30 Japan Record Awards



    2014/12/31 NHK Kouhaku Utagassen

    Kojimako thanking her fans for their support in the past year.

    Kojima Mako G+ 2014/12/31 23:27

    NHK Kouhaku Utagassen✨✨✨❤️

    『Youkai Taisou Daiichi』
    『Gera Gera Po no Uta』
    『Furui Nikki』
    『WA ni Natte Odorou』

    I appeared for these 4 songs☻

    I danced very enthusiastically
    did you find me、、?(´• •`)

    Each and every song was soooo much fun, I smiled lots, it was the best New Year's Eve


    In 2014、really so many things happened!

    Yuko-san's graduation、my first senbatsu with Mae Shika Mukanee、the Big Shuffle、the General Election、first place in the Request Hour、the implementation of the new team organization、my first tour、the AKB49 musical、Takamina-san's graduation announcement、、、

    The list just doesn't end!

    But thanks to all the things that happened this year I was able to grow further。
    I really learned so many things。
    And I experienced a lot of different feelings。

    Anger and sadness、chagrin and loneliness
    I also experienced negative feelings。
    But the fans who kindly supported me shared those feelings with me and supported me。

    That's why I was able to keep wearing my smile( ⸝⸝⸝ ˆᴗˆ ⸝⸝⸝ )

    It if weren't for everyone, the me now would not exist。
    I am the AKB48 Kojima Mako now because everyone was there for me。

    For everyone who supports me、the number of reports with which I can repay your kindness even if only a little, has increased a little bit、I myself am very happy about them、I am going to work even more and put my heart into it✨

    You are my source of motivation!

    Together with everyone, while having fun together, I want to realize my dreams。

    I am still unreliable、but without forgetting to be grateful to everyone who is supporting me、I want to participate in a lot of activities so I can bring smiles to a lot of people!!!

    To everyone who supported me in 2014、really, thank you very much!

    And for 2015, please, yoroshiku onegaishimasu❤️\( ˙▿˙ )/!

    Well then everyone!I wish you a good year



    Aーthis year too was so much fun〜❤️❤️

    That’s right。AKB49’s WHiroko is now the Kamisori Zombie combi。。❤️
    I’m so happy about this❤️
    To be with Naanya feels reassuring、and with her the filming is so much fun every time。笑

    Kojima Mako

    The character name Kamisori、comes from the way Kamisori fights
    knifehand strikes
    fast
    wind pressure

    Kamisori is scary∑(๑º口º๑)笑。

    The Namakohime 755 was discontinued

    but Tentoumuchu members started a Tentoumuchu 755
    http://7gogo.jp/lp/nj18QFZbgThWkVIvojdMdG==

    Because there are no official Tentoumuchu activities, so far all that there is are a few old photos

    and Miki photos to keep her spirits up.
    http://7gogo.jp/lp/cfKK0Jp1HG1WkVIvojdMdG==/682
    Mako says she has so many photos of Miki she can't choose which to post lol

    I guess Nana's photos were taken during this time

    2015/1/8 Mako and Naanya were filming Majisuka Gakuen 4. They don't really bother hiding it anymore because you can tell from their hairstyle that they were filming Majisuka.

    Something I noticed only much later, she wore a similar hairstyle at the 2014/12/30 Japan Record Awards.
    And even if it's not all that similar it's so cute!

    I'm sorry - I didn't mean to sound like I was insulting the later generation girls :)

    For dedicated fans, the members you mentioned are a small part of the group as a whole. But for most normal people in Japan who aren't serious wota, those people are still the ones that everyone knows. One of the things that makes AKB great is that they succeeded not only as a wota-oriented idol band, but also as a mainstream pop band. If you talk to just ordinary people over here, everyone knows Acchan, Yuko and Takamina, but most people have never heard of Kojimako (or even modern senbatsu like Yuihan). I think that's where the worry comes from for those of us who live here.

    It's not that I think they aren't capable. On the contrary, these days almost all the members I think are really interesting and follow are late generation members. They've become so awesome in such a short time. Just that you can't become famous overnight. As Kojimako herself mentioned in the interview, they had a pretty bad experience at Kyocera Dome. If you'd put Acchan and Yuko in that dome, I'm guessing things would've been different.

    Mako was mentioned in Yui's interview about team K.

    "Are their any other members on your mind?
    Yui: Mako was moved here from Team 4, which was full of members from her generation, so coming to a team with so many seniors, at first she didn’t express herself at all. But I think it’s gotten better since she started doing the musical in September. She’s learning a lot from watching her seniors. From the start, she’s been a very innocent girl, so everyone takes care of her. It’s not just that she’s young. Kobayashi Kana and Myao quickly notice changes in other members, and Wasamin and Harukyan remember the dance moves so quickly, so they give a lot of advice. I haven’t said it before, but when the next reshuffle comes around, I want people to say about us, “The Team K from that time was great, right?”"

    this song is the new ending for a popular anime called Youkai Watch

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ94ooRV02w

    The other day there was an announcement saying that the AKB49 musical is going to be revived with an SKE48 only cast.

    Sae motivated AKB49 members: Akip told me he wants to change the cast next time. Lets do our best so that people who watch it will say 'they were not able to be better than the original members'
    Kojimako: Everyone was motivated by that.

    I listened to AKB's RIVER for the first time in a long time, it's such a cool song isn't it!

    I love the PV for RIVER too, before joining AKB I watched it a lot !

    Miki Nana interview from BUBKA february

    How was your first team shuffle?

    Okada: I was surprised when I heard that Mako was going to Team K by herself. What I imagine was that I’d go to A, Miki would stay in 4 and Mako would go to B. Or alternatively, they’d keep the three of us together.

    Nishino: It feels like she’s become more adult since she went to K. She has a different atmosphere. Even her clothes are more adult.

    Okada: It definitely tells us how much she’s grown. She said that we’re doing our best in Team 4, so she also had to do her best in Team K.

    Nishino: But when the three of us are together, we still get really noisy, so nothing’s really changed [laughs].

    ^ I thought all 3 would move out of Team 4 and in A, K, and B. I predicted Mako would actually go to Team K though. It seems quite obvious that most would see her go to A or B, but Team K was very much in decline and management likes to throw surprises.

    Makotin was so adorable in the Kouhaku warm-up. The event was boring me up until that point.

    thank you guys for all news and translations, wow these 50 pages. *happy* this year I thought is year for a new generation member, in future maybe we'll rarely to watch the senior members has group perf in mini concert or big concert, and maybe in future we'll watching the senior member in solo performances, and the junior member are got more group performances. I want more of kojimako solo performances in big concert, I think she has good voice

    thank you Neve for the article translations! keep it up

    . I'm very happy mako-chan get cast in MG4. It was big chances for raises her popularity more and more even mako-chan got the good role (kamisori! I like it!).

    I miss tentoumu chu too, and three musketeers pairing, it seems disappear.

    I had thought about what was planned by Aki-P, as Jurina, sayanee, and haruka even inside in Team K there's still yui, rie, tano, and others.

    Kojimako mysteriously (if I may say) moved there, why?
    is like a great plans of AKI-P like other projects.

    I am also curious in every encore, when the song that new AKB48 releases, Kojimako definitely be a center. whether there is a Jurina, Sayanee, and Kodama. it's just funny,

    Good news.

    2015/1/13

    Akip was asked by a fan if the music video of the new song was shot 2015/1/13

    Akip answers like he did the last time: N-N-No way.

    http://7gogo.jp/lp/0lwsnpA3SdaWkVIvojdMdG==/4835

    If it's true, Kojimako is part of the senbatsu.

    fan: What did you do today.

    Kojimako: shooting☻

    http://7gogo.jp/lp/eBe2YkL562YWkVIvojdMdG==/3079

    fan: Did you have shooting for Majisuka today?

    Kojimako: Today we shot something else!

    http://7gogo.jp/lp/eBe2YkL562YWkVIvojdMdG==/3084

    Good news.

    2015/1/14

    Aki-p had a meeting with Ueno producer about Majisuka Gakuen 5. Ueno wants Majisuka Gakuen 5 to start in april. Aki-p thinks that is impossible.

    Idol wa U-NyaNya no Ken lyrics

    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya-nya-nya-
    ウーニャニャ ウーニャニャ
    ウニャウニャよ~っ!!
    U-nya nya U-nya nya
    U-nya U-nya yo!!

    昔のアイドル なんてたって
    スキャンダルはノーサンキュー
    Talking about Idols from the past
    It’s “No Thank you” to scandal

    だけど今は 逃げられない
    壁に耳あり障子に目あり
    あっという間に拡散しちゃう
    But we cannot run away now
    There are ears on the wall, eyes on the sliding door
    Quickly it (scandal) will spread

    ネット炎上
    やってられない清純派
    Being flamed on the internet
    Couldn’t uphold it anymore
    the pure and innocent image

    白黒つけずにスルーでごめん
    ホントじゃないけど嘘でもない
    (あやふや)
    Won’t admit or deny, getting off by looking the other way, I’m sorry
    It’s not the truth but not a lie either
    (being vague)

    どっちつかずで七十五日
    (よろしく!)
    A rumor last but 75 days*
    (Best regards!)
    *人の噂も七十五日 (gossip lasts just 75 days)

    ウニャニャニャ ウニャニャニャ
    ウニャーニャーニャー
    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya-nya-nya-

    ウーニャニャ ウーニャニャ
    ウニャウニャよ~っ!!
    U-nya nya U-nya nya
    U-nya U-nya yo!!

    ウニャニャニャ ウニャニャニャ
    ウニャーニャーニャー
    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya nya nya
    U-nya-nya-nya-

    ウーニャニャ ウーニャニャ
    ウニャウニャよ~っ!!
    U-nya nya U-nya nya
    U-nya U-nya yo!!

    ああ 私たちだってトイレも行くし
    時にはルールも破ってしまう
    Oh even we also go to the toilet
    Sometimes we break the rules too

    ツチノコパンダよ味方して!
    (ハイッ!)
    Tsuchinoko panda, be our ally!
    (Ok!)
    *Tsuchinoko-panda = snake-like panda (evil-mouthed panda www)

    I can't help but wonder if these are the costumes for the new song mentioned above. Normally, the new costumes are not revealed before the song itself but these photos are too much of a conicidence. In their posts, the members don't say a word about the costumes they are wearing.

    CMIIW, but those outfits are new, somewhat. I seem to remember them wearing these outfits for a music show live towards the end of 2014. I can't remember which show or which song, though. Been a long day of NFL Conference Championships, and thus many beverages have been consumed.
