Harada Aoi (Aoichan) / 1st Generation

From Oze blog

From Miichan blog

Seems Aoi wanted members to spoil herIt's still the same Aoi as always

 

She looks so beautiful and grown-up! Love the two-shots of her and Mii-chan, the two fairies of Futari Saison

 

Yeah, she looks so pretty, and her hair is so cute that length. So good to see her again.

 

gobou-chan no more

 

From Yukka-sama blog.

"I'm so happy to be with Aoi after long time (...) she looks mature but I felt relieved in a good way that she didn't changed".

 

She looks like a princess

 

From Kyonko-chan blog.

"When I went to Nogizaka46 expo, I met Aotan for the first time in long time".



"I never thought I could see her that day. I didn't recognize her until I saw her (...) then I recognize her".

"She came to me saying 'Kyonko~♫' ... that was really cute and made me happy".

"She looks beautiful and mature (...) we are going to eat sometime".

"I'm so happy to met her".

"I want to see her again".

----------------------------------------------

Also, Real Sound made an article talking about Aotan, the 3rd anniversary, Futari Saison and she as someone needed in the group.

Real Sound article.

 

the shorter hair is so cute on her

 

The article talks about Aoi and her character based on Futari saison, her appearence in 3rd year anniversary live in Budokan and how her return could remind and take us back to the beggining of the group, especially after what has happened in Keyaki in the last year.
From what I could understand.
--------------
Several fans expect this mean she will come back soon. I prefer not to affirm anything but I also think her return can heal us(and the members too). I really miss her, even if she sent pics and mobames.
I really love that blog

 

I really miss her a lot!! Cant wait to see her back on Keyaki, I hope this 2nd half of the year, with the new single and Keyaki full team could be really awersome!!

 

Let's wait! Maybe she will come back soon

 

Suddenly, I remembered how much I miss Aoi.

 

But she's really a princess .
I missed that pic with Ozeki .

 

So...
Aoi sent a mobame, it's a video and it looks like the practice room. I don't know what this means but i feel like i'm going to cry. I'm in shock. Maybe, it's nothing but for the first time I really really want to delude myself.

 

There are strong rumors in my groups saying that she probably will return in Keyaki Republic, but a lot of people think (including me) she will come back for the 9th single announcement.

 

So this is what happiness means!! I miss Aoi so much!

 

I also think she will return for the 9th single. I feel that in Keyaki republic they could announce 9th single and the possible return of Aoi. But maybe, they could announce the 9th single in Keyaki republic and we just find out that she came back in the senbatsu announcement. It would be a surprise tbh.

-------
@GenKelC I'm still in shock...we can't confirm anything tho, but I really hope it's a clue.

 

Now I'm looking forward in this event. I need to be healed

 

OMG Aotan!!! I did not recognize her at first

Welcome Back!

they cannot bully you anymore :3

 

The news make me so excited.
Hopefully we"ll have a lot of photos.
