She looks way too thin...

 

^
She has for the last few years.

 

I miss Paruru's cute chubby cheeks like she had in 2012-2014

and I'm surprised Paruru is in the new Team Surprise! This reminds me when they released the new Team Surprise some months after Acchan's graduation and Acchan was on it. Loved it. LOL. I miss Paruru as idol a lot so I'll be glad to see her in new songs and Pv's even if they're recorded months ago!

also I saw that Paruru did TWICE's TT pose and posted it on Twitter a while ago! I love this, as a fan of both of them! Too cute!

 

And in this case years ago lol.

 

Have anyone any hi-res pictures with Paruru? It's really hard to find any good wallpapers with her.

 

I just saw that Takamina, Rena, Kawaei and others are also in this Team Surprise, what so they recorded this in like... 2014 or early 2015? LOL

 

@Merlin54 asthma tends to make some people thin. Most likely she hasn't fully recovered yet.
This team surprise thing, will there be a concert or will they just release on DVD?
I just watched the mechaike so with paruru. Did she improve her hand shake after that or did she revert back?

 

^After reading through a lot of stuff, I agree. Too bad she didn't build-up on it.

A few things
1. I saw a Sailormoon Opening Song with Paruru (Sailor Venus), Mayuyu (Sailor Moon), Sakura (Sailor Jupiter), ...Annin? (Sailor Mars), and... that other girl (Sailor Mercury), is this just a 1 time short live intro for the Sailormoon reboot or is there more to it? coz I can't for the life of me find anything else about it.

2. I've been looking into Paruru's general election rankings and there is one girl there whose ranking I'm baffled with.. I'm gonna keep it to myself since, base on everything I've read, a lot of AKB fans are rabid dogs when it comes to their oshimen sooo.. anyway, is it true that one person can vote as many times as they like as long as they have the money to buy the cd/dvds with voting tickets? If true, that would be really lame..

3. Does anyone know if there is english subs for Yutori Desu ga Nani ka? The one doing the subs apparently dropped it so only a few episodes were translated. I did find complete japanese subs which I'm tempted to run through google translate even if it'll suck.

4. Finished watching all of the Majisuka Gakuen seasons as well as the Kyabasuka Gakuen thing which apparently is an alternate to MG5. So..Salt becomes a detective and becomes silly since its inferred that she's the same detective in Keishichou Nasi Goreng ka... Now I really need to start seriously learning Japanese (I have very little faith that I'd learn but meh.. 5th time to try... who knows)

5. Paruru's offical site is junk. even if you try to register as a free member you get nothing. I could join but at four fity a month + tax... not sure its worth it to just get an extra picture here and there a month. Plus I can't understand a anything and will have to browse through google translate which is the suck. (I'd consider learning to read japanese but hiragana+katakana+minimum of 2k kanji...)

6. My current favorite Paruru smile...

 

@ils411

1. Yes, it was a one time gig for NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.

2. I think i know who you talking about. Yes they can vote as much as they want.

3. I've never find the sub for Yutori myself, so idk.

 

Yuka (Paruru) will return to Hiyokko sometime during Week 20 (w/c 14 August)

During this same week (15 August), she will debut with her saxophone promoting 'Blast! Music of Disney'

Edit: About the handshake, she tried but it didn't get better as she mentioned during her SSK 2014 speech (subs courtesy AKBzine)

2. Yeah all it takes is one person in your corner with alot of money and it can do wonders. Look at the NGT girl from this year as an example.

5. I certainly wouldnt call it junk. I mean if you are pinching pennies month to month definitely no need to risk not paying something important. If you got a few extra bucks why not. The movies are the best part for me. But I cant read any of it either so have to Google Translate. She does a QandA section but uses pictures for it so Google doesn't help there.
