4th Gen Thread

Appearance wise, they are all good. My eyes are on Sakura and Ayame. For Endo Sakura, she caught me with her picture in the first leaked photos of 4th gen (The one she is standing alone). And Tsutsui Ayame, she is cute.

 

They all look cute !
Nogi always choosing cute promising girls. Look at 3rd gen they are golden.
This gen look as promising can't wait to see them more !
I wonder who'll be the next HS monster

 

I will wait until all the new members are revealed first before deciding whom I like best.
So far, the 4 of them looks promising.

I was thinking. Once again the pictures aren’t doing the members justice...

The ball is rolling on 4th Gen. I'm not sold just yet. Need to hear more about them. I do have a question, though about that 12th girl. Did she completely drop out like I posted in the intro or is she pulling a Manatsu/Iori and finishing up studies before devoting her youth to idol life? I've seen it said both. The official site's announcement yesterday used to have information that hinted to the study route, but not now. Or I may have been reading machine's wrong translation.

Any help to clarify. My Japanese is non-existent!

 

I have the screenshot of the unedited announcement

The last part is now edited out, which said
"Matsuo Miyu who was assigned as fourth generation member has withdrawn from activities due to her studies."
The word used here is 辞退 (jitai), I translated it as 'withdraw', but its first meaning is 'decline'

So I am going to think for now that this is more like Kashiwa Yukina case. But I can be wrong, since they deleted it right? Who knows what kind of development they have.

 

So far Endo Sakura has caught my attention the most, but all 8 members revealed so far are really cute. They seem to have an aura that will fit right in with the group, looking forward to see how they'll contribute!

 

I've heard about Manatsu and Iori, but what happen with Yukina?

 

She left the group because of studies, while Manatsu or Iori just went 'hiatus' for a while before participating.
Now on second thought, this is closer to Yoshimoto Ayaka than Kashiwa Yukina, minus the provisional center part.

 

Then it sounds like 4th Gen is down to 11.

The leaked photo earlier in this week had 12. At the end tomorrow, I guess we'll get a glimpse of who she was before she declined.

Also, reminds me of the 13th girl in the 3rd Gen SHOWROOM auditions...

 

I don't know why but Yakubo Mio looks and sounds like Yoda Yūki and Sugai Yūka from Keyaki had a child.
My weird remark aside, I like her the best until now.

 

Looking at that statement again, I'm pretty sure she has left. Important point being that it says 辞退となりました rather than 辞退になりました. For those who don't know Japanese grammar well; using the と particle with なる indicates that it has changed to its final state and won't change again, verses に which indicates a potentially temporary state.

 

Sayaka and probably Haruka who caught me attention at most for the 2nd day.

gonna wait for the later reveals too and find who's the most prominence fisher on monday

 

tq

 

The uniforms look absolutely amazing! They may be my favorite until now.
I really like the high waist look. Very elegant and fits Nogi perfectly. Also that deep red ribbon and the subtle yet distinct pattern (the pattern of the 4th gen seems smaller, which I prefer) with the same deep red touch. And the logo on the buttons. It's all in the little details and this uniform is almost perfect.

A large contrast with the disaster that was the 21st uniform.

 

Ah yes, that too. I wasn't sure because that statement is now gone, which in my initial assumption could mean that they pulled the statement back, even though it's decided before. But you are right.

 

Kaki Haruka is really pretty and bright, my favorite from the 2nd batch.

 

and she is good at drawing!
definitely the next nogizaka artist
