Shimazaki Haruka (Paruru) / 9th Generation

Oh yeah?? I thought these were quite striking also.

 

and

 

I don't think it was just her looks, though I would admit that her beauty is pretty unconventional for AKB (remember how Aki-P used to not pick them girls based on looks?). It's the whole way she carried herself in addition to those looks. I just like how she tries not to pander to otakus while still appreciating her fans as her supporters.

Fabulous, Paruru indeed have talent in fashion

 

Modelpress have published an article on the answers to the 50 questions posed in the magazine

http://mdpr.jp/review/detail/1600727

This is a Google Translation:-

Philosophy of love of Haruka Shimazaki

"Shimazaki told "After 10 years, what you think? That" the question of comments and aspirations "It is 32 years old -. Intends ~ N .... I want some children have married." "Marriage is I want to up to 28 years old" and revealed specifically. Also confession Shimazaki of "should be" faction. "When not do anything, I want to say that the kidnapping" and was also introduced ideal situations. In addition Shimazaki is, holiday how to spend and of, the person who has become the most care about now, and answer also, such as the recent My boom."

Hmm...wish I could make sense of Google Translate .
She wants to be married before she's 28 and have children?

 

She loves kids, and usually at 28 is when you think more seriously about settling down and raising a family.

I'm curious what the sound of their songs (if there is gonna be) like. There a lot where you can go with this trio.
(I hate using this word but she slays on the runway)

 

Eh, I prefer it that way since peeps actually have to click the link and see her stuff and choose to follow her IG account lol

 

I think you both make good points

Edit: Someone at PFI understands Japanese better than Google-

"Paruru: I want to be married by age 28. By age 32 I want to have children." So that's 10 years from now.

The short one knows how to use her legs.

 

Paruru gives you a taste and if you dont try it fast enough she takes it away.

 

^ the contract for the two girls in Paruru Senbatsu is supposed to end on 10 August so I wonder if it will be extended.

Paruru has changed the header picture on her Twitter

It won't be there long...

 

I would assume it would. They are suppose to have a single coming out.

 

I figured there should be an extension. Considering it took them this long to a actually debut...

 

^Could be announced at the event.

I was looking round t'internet (as you do) and came across a couple old items from 2013 I hadn't seen before. Both predated my 'discovering' AKB around the time of KFC.

First was a short vid called Paruru Cute & Funny

Second was an article on AKB48Wrapup summarising the 5 March 2013 episode of Ariyoshi Kyowakoku (Ariyoshi Republic), in which the two then SNH48 members, Miyazawa Sae and Suzuki Mariya, as well as Shimazaki Haruka appeared as guests.



First topic discussed was whether Paruru's Janken win in 2012 was fixed.

Ariyoshi: There have been rumors that Janken Tournament was a setup.

Shimazaki Haruka (Paruru): Well….. yeah
I didn’t imagine the situation will be messed up like this.
I just won the tournament fair and square.

Kojima Haruna (Kojiharu): To outsiders, the game Paruru winning the tournament at that timing may be too good to be true.

Ariyoshi: But you know, setup is an essential part of entertainment.

Everyone: Nope Nope LOL

Miyazawa: Nope, this is Gachi, Gachi (Serious and Fair battle).

Ariyoshi: What? Was that Gachi?

Miyazawa: What are you talking, that was absolutely Gachi!

Shimazaki: (in a low voice) Yes….

Arisyohi: You mean only a couple of Janken Match were fixed?

Kojiharu: No~~~~

Kojiharu: Until the Janken tournament, I’d been Senbatsu for all singles of AKB48. But the record stopped as I lost to Umechan.

Ariyoshi: So it’s because you won too much. In her (Paruru) case, she didn’t win that much so they figured she should win more, so they gotta fix a match for her?

Shimazaki: As for me, I fought the match fair, but…..

Miyazawa: (Shaking her head) No no no no.

Paruru: Oh wait…… It could be….. It could be a fixed match……….!!!!!!

Ariyoshi: Oh yeah, it’s just because you are the winner and was told anything about what was going on behind the scenes!

Paruru: Certainly! Certainly!! It could be a setup!!!!!!!

Everyone burst into laughter, but Sae kept denying it in an assertive tone.

Sae: You don’t need to worry about that (put her hand on Paru’s shoulder gently.)

Ariyoshi: It’s no brainer lol it’s Janken. How is it possible to lose on purpose when the opponent doesn’t know anything.

*Janken: paper, scissors, rock

Other topics include Paruru's handshakes and catchphrase.
