Tashima Meru (Meru) / 2nd Generation

Here's a really nice pic of Meru after getting her hair done at the local spot in Fukuoka. I feel this image is a peek of what's to come when she nears adulthood, and maybe what she will need to reach the top again.



As expected, she's posting some really nice pics of HKT members on her Twitter.

Oh my god thank goodness, this is what we have been waiting for. The path to promote herself because g+ and mobame is not an effective promotional for some countries..but I think it's effective in japan yes. thankyou for the answering @Lisa and wow thumbs up for your votes, I can't afford to buy that much vote for her..I did increase the number lol.

 

Every vote counts @Kudostar !!! Meru needs our support now more than ever because she doesn't have managements backing so she needs the fans backing her!

She does take some really nice pics! Madoka' picture was actually really nice!

 

She ranked number 40!Last year she was at 43 so it's nice she ranked up a little bit!Better then ranking down!

 

what a relief.... ugh, I didn't think I'd get butterflies this ssk, but when Meru's name wasn't getting called I started to get worried. Good for her

 

Yep, congratulations
I was really worried, but she did really well - especially since last year definitely wasn't her best.
Btw: Mio and Nako both dropped considerably (around 10 spots I think).

 

Meru gained votes and gained rank so it's a positive day for her

 

Hopefully the new rank with more votes will have a positive effect on all of us.

Congratulations Meru-chan

 

I'm watching Merus showroom right now and Aki-P is there. Put Meru back to senbatsu, pleeeaaasee

 

Meru has been featured on newspapers before and after the sousenkyo! I don't know what kind of newspaper it is, but it's nice anyways!

 

Rank up!! Meru really working hard on the theatre, losing weight, starting twitter. All of the effort her effort and fans effort accomplished at last. I personally think I want more, I want higher but I really am blessed to see her rank up. Her smile is back, really calm and cheerful on stage when she's giving speech. Proud of her really. I hope this year she will get a good spot on HKT line up

 

Can anyone translate the jist of these articles? Please?

What if Meru decided to get a short haircut? I think she would look good based on these pictures!

 

I love it! It'd really freshen her image!

She does take really good selfies, so I wonder if it would actually look flattering in real life... it looks great in these pics if it would look like that really... but I'd also want to see Meru with really long hair! She usually has medium length and she ever actually had really really long hair... I think it would look good too! @TakayaAbe

 

You know what I've always wanted? Her to grow out her bangs. I've seen pics and it looks so good!

^Now I want to see her with side cornrows or with her bangs pulled back (like Tsutsui did near the end!I love that hairstyle)!

I'm not sure if it would suit her but I still would like to see it (on other members too)!

 

Meru-chan looking so cute at today's Shoot Sign Handshake Event

 

Meru's strategy of having a Twitter account just to get mentioned by Sasshi and her massive followers is going according to plan
