Please tell me it's not just me who is absolutely in love with the photos Takahashi Yuya takes of Tano-chan?? He's done multiple shots with her by now (the photo of her in my signature is made by him too) and they're all just so fricking beautiful. I wish they would release a proper photobook together instead of just posting their photos on Instagram. I mean, I'm grateful the photos are there but a photobook with such a beautiful face and body and by such a talented photographer just HAS to be a hit.

Now that Dance Cantabile is also finished, as you already saw from the tweets, we're going to have to wait patiently until February for her next play, SINGULAR.

Because the year is almost over and my Christmas break is gonna be busy, I don't know if I will make any more updates this year. Still, I wanted to say something. This has actually been an amazing year for Tano. She didn't get the captaincy position, which she wanted so badly and she graduated from AKB after almost seven years in the group... HOWEVER, after being cast in 2 stage plays and receiving her first lead in a movie last year, she was cast in so many things in 2018 and got signed to an agency.

She is no with Central who I hope is treating her better than AKS. She was in the 10 Year Anniversary Stage "The Tenth" in January, she had a very lovely send-off with Team K (those letters given to her still make me emotional), then she was in the revival stage of THE CIRCUS over the summer, then in Heaven's Record in October and now she's just finished Dance Cantabile.

Those of you who are also still keeping up with Tano, do you have any wishes for her 2019? I hope she gets to do many more stage plays because I can tell how much she enjoys them. I also hope she uses her new blog more often. And lastly, I'm being a bit selfish with this one, I hope she gets cast in a drama or movie again so I can actually watch her perform something. I want more of her than just one Linking Love DVD

 

thank you for your updates and keeping this thread alive @bonjourmarlene

i also want tano to appear in a drama,even if it's a small role because i don't get to see her stage plays since i don't live in japan lol

 

Happy Christmas to all Tanochan fans..

Hello again to everyone who's still keeping up with me and this thread I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate and a Happy New Year~ I apologise I haven't updated the thread in a while but (as a reminder) you can always follow my tumblr. It's linked in my signature and I post almost daily, depending on how active Tano is on social media. Disclaimer: I also post about Komiharu, Miichan and IZ*ONE a couple of times

I have reached the picture limit so work related updates will either come if someone responds or with the next update

 

Miss Tano-chan update.. Otsukaresama..

 

I wanted to post about the new stage poster and her role, but @Arbios already did that so in order not to unncessarily repeat things and make it a bit more interested, I compiled some pictures of Tano at different stage plays through the years. I wish I could edit the first post on this thread and add some relevant details lol but the updates will have to do

Singular (2019): Main character "Heart"
Official poster

Tano's character image


What I like about the SINGULAR stage is the characters' names. The plot of the story is about "intelligent beings" and judging by the characters' names (which are now revealed), they are all body parts talking to each other. Tano is the heart and her male counterpart is the rib, and then there's other characters calledSense, Diaphragm, Vein, Kidney, Spinal (Spine), Cornia, Stomach, Pelvis, Organs, and some others. Their names are literally English and not Japanese translations. I would really love to see this stage play because it sounds super interesting

I'm also suuuuuper proud of the Singular poster... she's literally the only person on the poster, which makes her really important to the play!!! I'm so happy she's being recognised for her talent

By the way, SINGULAR is her 10th stage musical ^^

Work related updates

SINGULAR hasn't even started yet and Tano has already been announced for her next stage play From the 10th to the 14th of April, she will appear in SPECTACLE STAGE "W'z"!! Her role is called Hana and it is based on an anime of the same name. She's only a supporting role, but I'm nonetheless excited about how regularly she is getting new roles

English wikipedia page about W'z: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W'z

Tano's character 'Hana Mihara' in the original:

 

Hey everyone, I literally have zero time at the moment to do updates on Tano-chan I just came to say that practice for her new stage, W'z, has started and also...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANO-CHAN!!!!

 

Happy Birthday Tano!!!!!!

 

Belated happy bday.. tano

Happy Birthday Yuuka

 

You're not late, her birthday is the 7th of March ^^ When you posted this, it was the 7th everywhere in the world, except for the Americas (where it was still the 6th), so if you are American, you were even early

Also... drum roll please...

Yuka also announced her new, official fan club earlier today!!

https://sp.tanoyuka.jp/pc/

It's 400 JPY per month via Japanese banks and 432 JPY via credit cards and these are the offers;

• YUKA's radio: Radio corner delivered to fan club members only. Fan questions are answered from time to time!
• Gallery: Special photos, such as off shots from magazines and photoshoots, or photos from certain events will be posted
• Movie: Videos only fan club members have access to, such as clips from stage plays, events and appearance announcements!
• Birthday mail: Like with AKB48 Mobame, you will receive a birthday congratulations on your birthday

The following payment methods are accepted: docomo, au, SoftBank, credit card (VISA, MasterCard, JCB, American Express, Diner's Club). If you want to change payment methods in between, you have to withdraw and sign in again with the new payment method (since it's email and not a specific app like with Mobame, you won't have data loss unless you delete your email account).

Spoiler: Step by step explanation how to sign up for Tano's fan club (payment method: credit card)

1. Scroll down to "初めての方はこちら" ("Here for first time")
2. You will be redirected to a page that explains which payment methods there and about changing methods, like I explained above. Scroll down to "クレジットカードをご利用の方" (Credit card users). You will see that option twice, make sure you use the first one. The second one is for people changing payment methods/data transfer.
3. Enter your email address twice in the two blank spaces provided.
4. Go to your email account and you should have received an email from Tano's fan club. Click the link.
5. Create your account.
   1. Create an ID. This is a unique username and should be between 8 and 32 characters.
   2. Create an alphanumeric password of at least 8 characters. It is case-sensitive.
   3. Create a nickname. This is the name with which you'll be addressed in mails.
   4. Set your birthday (year - month - day).
6. It will ask for confirmation if your details are correct.
7. It will tell you that you are about to enter your credit card information. Simply continue.
8. Enter your credit card number, expiration date and CVS.
9. Confirm, enter a TAC if you get one, etc.
10. And you should be done

 

Happy Birthday, Tanochan !

 

Omg I almost forgot; happy birthday to my first AKB48 oshi! I hope that the next year will bring more musical projects to her!

 

Happy birthday Tanochan !!!

 

Tano answered some fan questions on her ameblo. Here's not a word-by-word translation, but more of a recap.

Q. What is your makeup routine?
A. Kate's concealer, marshmallow coloured finishing powder, black liquid eyeliner and lancome mascara. Lipstick is often either Yves Saint Laurent or Chanel

Q. I'm currently watching the W'z anime and I've been keeping Tano-san in mind while paying attention to the character of Hana-chan. I can see you do well. Also, I am looking forward to your birthday soon!
A. I am also looking forward to performing as Hana! I think maybe we are a bit similar, but maybe I should try a different approach?

Q. Do you have cake on your birthday?
A. It is my birthday so of course!

Q. Are you going to release a CD? Of course there are songs from Tano's AKB era, but I'd really like a solo CD!
A. I currently don't have any plans on releasing music. I would like to work on musicals and stage plays. I wonder what other people think about this kind of activity?

Q. How do you decide what to wear every day? Is there some kind of code you follow, like only wearing three colours or less?
A. I look at myself in the mirror and contemplate for a bit. Is there such a rule that it is okay if it's within three colours? I don't feel very fashionable.

Q. Do you prefer going to an aquarium or the zoo?
A. The aquarium! I have to admit I can't really stand the odour of the zoo.

Q. My repertoire of questions is too small! I always send the same things and Tano-san has already responded on instagram story once.
A. I am glad no matter what you send!

Q. Could you please tell us what your goal for being 22 is?
A. I think I just want to live a healthy life like my grandmother. My goals keep changing all the time! I would like to tackle going abroad, though.

Q. I have a few questions! First, what is Tano's hair care? I like to dye my hair ends similar to you, but my hair keeps breaking. And how do I put on a towel? Next, is there anything you particularly like? I would like to send you a gift! Even if there is no commitment to your hair care, please let me know what you do with your hair. I would like to imitate what you are doing. If this bothers you, I understand if you don't answer!
A. I don't have any particular hair care haha I can maintain smoothness simply with hair dressing. As for the towel, roll up your hair normally and the tip has to come out at the end. My favourite things are lipstick and nail polish, especially red.

Q. I would like to go to Tano-chan's solo live event some day!
A. I am planning to have such an event some day!

Q. If you could have been in a foreign movie, which one would you want it to be?
A. Pitch Perfect! lol

Q. What are Tano's "Seven Rules"?
A. First, I go to the toilet when I wake up. Second, always use perfume when I leave the house. Third, charge my phone while I sleep and go out with 100%. Actually, I only have these three rules haha

Q. What pyjamas is Tano-chan wearing?
A. GU! I love GU pyjamas! They're cute and comfortable

Q. Which artists do you listen to the most?
A. SUPER BEAVER, sumika, Creep Hive (クリープハイプ), Makaron Enpitsu (マカロニえんぴつ), Shota Shimizu (清水翔太). That's these days at least!

Q. I'm looking forward to your 22nd birthday. Is there anything you'd like to achieve?
A. I would like to get a photo book.

Q. Question 1, which kind of roles would you like to play in a drama? And question 2, have you hung out with any of the girls from your generation since graduation?
A. I would like to play a bully or a bad guy. And I see Tomu and Karen regularly. And of course Rina haha

Q. A long time ago, I saw the Team K charity event for for the Great East Japan Earthquake and it was very special to me. Is there a performance that is very special to Tano?
A. It is also the same performance for me, because my grandmother also came to see the event. Furthermore, there were a lot of members there.

Q. I recently changed my job and now I'm feeling a little desperate... how do I get involved successfully and make relationships with my new co-workers?
A. I think it is important that you don't fall into despair too much. It is inevitable that you will get together with your coworkers at some point, so just do your best and be yourself!

Q. I'm thinking about a birthday gift, could you please tell me what you like? Also, you post a lot of selfies! Do you use an app or a professional camera?
A. I think you all have very good sense about what I like. I'm sure whatever it is, I will be happy with it! I use the in-built iPhone camera and the B162 app.

Q. I am an adult man who has become interested in oversized clothing because of Tano-chan! I like it but the one thing that remains bothersome is the sleeve that is too long. It looks cute on a girl, but isn't it weird on a man? Do you have suggestions on what to do with the rest of the sleeve?
A. I think it can look cute on a man too, by all means, please wear it like that! hahahaha

Q. What hair style do you like on a man?
A. I think that depends on the person. What suits one person might not suit another. However, I don't like it if someone uses too much hair gel.

Q. Where would you like to go if you went abroad?
A. First is Taiwan! Second is Rina's home town in Arizona!

Q. Do you have an idea for a diet for someone who doesn't like vegetables? You can include working out and so on ~
A. You don't need saccharides so avoid those! And I think it's easiest if you find a gym near a train or subway station so you will be motivated to work out regularly.

Q. When are you going to get married?
A. Don't ask like it's going to happen soon! lol

That's it! I hope to do it again some day soon~!
