    ^I think these were the ones mentioned in the Making Of documentary for her gradcon that they were specifically made for the unit meant to represent the future of AKB. Also that Osare knit them! I can't remember who it was (Mion? Yuiyui?) that was interviewed, but they talked about how Mayu hand picked the members, too. (I should go rewatch it and see if I'm right lol)

    If I am remembering correctly, it's fitting they got to wear them!

    Edit: Went to rewatch! A few corrections on my part:

    The unit was called "young senbatsu." Before the performance Homma Hinata confirms Mayu selected members for it. After the performance Hana and Miku are interviewed, and they discuss how the outfits were handmade for the unit.

    It's all the same except the SHOES. I guess Shinobu-san just don't keep the shoes together with the costumes lol.
    If you feel nostalgic like me, you can check some clips here

    I wanted to ask something (I'm sure @donjonnie knows the answer lol) did any 17th gen perform as under in A/K/B/4 theater stages yet? I know Mizumin was once scheduled to perform with Team B, but sadly she got covid and it was cancelled... Since then, I don't think she got to perform with a team? and did any other member actually get to do it?

    Btw I didn't watch the performance of today yet (I will watch it!) but I want to say, from seeing the pictures, that they all look SO cute with these hairstyles and outfits!!

    Hmm maybe others can correct me if I missed it, but so far I don't think there's any performance from 17ki as as under.
    I did hear a rumor that Masaru was practicing for a Team K under, but yeah nothing to prove it so far.

    Well if you haven't watched it yet, you can watch this one instead,
    the uploader clipped the 17ki part, with better quality (the full one on the top had some frozen frames):



    ===========================
    A few more Hello Music Festival pics from AKB48 twitter and Aichan's Instagram

    ==========================
    From recent (230105) SayoMouri:
    They are talking about Money Luck in 2023,
    Erichan was asked if she wants money, she says "just a little".
    And then she was asked if she saves money, she answers:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    She does, but right now the amount is so little, that she has to spend a lot of time choosing onigiri in the convenience store.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    The response was good, it was an irony over the senpais' investment topic just right before that :^^;:
    I'm pretty sure Erichan is exaggerating for variety effect here, no way AKB would treat their currently top-selling KKS like that for long haha

    Also Aichan was asked whether she needs romance right now:
    [​IMG]
    "No need!" , she says. :approve:

    Their performance was so great! I love seeing how well they all work together (even Kokko, bless her heart). If I didn’t know they were in akb, I would’ve assumed they were their own group! I’m so excited to see what else the girls do this year!

    17ki ga RokeRoke !! 2 : Let's go to meet the Eito Paisen Special!
    [​IMG]
    In light of last huzzah for Team 8 before the April suspension, almost all Team 8 old programs are revived!
    We saw the news that 88Ratchi, LoGirl gravure etc got revived recently, read more on post by @lionel90 here: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...u-project-x-toyota.7094/page-617#post-1781827

    RokeRoke is also revived! with 17ki mixed in!
    Grouping the new-ish 17ki with experienced Eito members in outdoor filmings, what kind of chemistry will show up!
    Can't wait!

    Broadcast date February 24, 2023, 22:00 JST on TV Asahi Ch1 !

    https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12782805742.html


    Also, THAT's why 17ki girls are with Eitos today on Roppongi Idol Festival ! (unannounced, surprise!)
    Aichan, Masaru and Erichan were there.

    They will cover that and more on the program later.
    source:
    https://twitter.com/sonakason/status/1611693486176362497

    Seems like setlist was:
    • Oogoe Diamond (17ki as Zenza/opening act)
    • Hachinosu Dance
    • BINGO
    • Honestman
    • Seifuku no Hane
    • 47 no Suteki na machi e
    • Koisuru Fortune Cookie (together with 17ki)
    https://twitter.com/Syopowe10naru/status/1611701856966971400

    No pics yet but I'll steal them once @Aka inevitably post them on Eito section
    EDIT: thanks aka for the first pic, waiting for more...
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]


    I'm happy they got more collab and interaction!
    Eito was my way back to AKB and 17ki is my current favourites!

    Hmm but is this the one where Kokko got lucky? or is there more to be announced later, since Masaru and Yukitan said it will be within 2 weeks...

    ====================================
    sorry for requoting again, I see you have rewatched the interview part!
    Shinobu's tweet basically confirmed what you said, it was made for the next gen members, so she was a bit emotional when the next next gen also wears them.
    She basically made the decision without deep thinking because it fits Sanrio lol

    Since we are back to that topic, juust a few more pics:

    17ki in HADOkai Final Season Day 1 and Day 2 (230108)
    It's the start of the Final Season!

    Day 1
    17ki as usual present for Exhibition Match, featuring Mizumin, Yukitan and Nonchan!
    [​IMG]
    The goal is still to defeat their nemesis, FLASH editor team, which actually was scheduled to be done by season 2, but now has to be extended.:^^;:

    To further their progress, they get a special coach!
    [​IMG]
    Yamabe Kasumi, the MC/Commentator of the HADOkai, also with 5 years of HADO experience!

    To help her gauge 17ki abilities, she called over her subordinate, Assistant Director "Roze", who was a Japan HADO Champ in 2019 and now works for HADO company meleap Inc.
    [​IMG]

    The match was with a handicap for the pros, 3x 17ki girls vs the 2 of them.
    Result?
    [​IMG]
    17ki lost 1 - 13 :^^;:
    Very one-sided, but I guess if she's gonna be their coach she needs to assert her skills first.
    And she said she'll be strict! No noon break for the girls! Gotta fix their movement and shield usage.

    Oh also since Taniguchi Megu from Team 4 was sick that day, Mizumin and Yukitan helped gathering Team 4's HADO balls.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Day 2
    Day 2 was just actually several hours later from Day 1.

    So it still features the same 3 girls as before:
    [​IMG]

    This time the opponents are not any less special!
    [​IMG]
    HADO company meleap Inc.'s CEO himself and the Development Head!
    Supposedly the top 2 strongest within the company.

    How did 17ki do against these two?
    Surprisingly good! They were able to draw 8 - 8 and went into extra time, even with the opponent being nimble and dodged most of their attacks.
    Seems like the training went well.
    In the end, the CEO showed his secret sliding skill to seal the win! It was seriously cool!
    [​IMG]

    More group pics from HADOkai:
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    If you want to watch by yourself you can see Day 1 here and Day 2 here (17ki part at around 1:25:30 for both)


    ===========================================
    I don't know why there's no Seijinshiki news yet, but supposedly the AKB48 Seijinshiki (coming of age ceremony) of 2023 should be happening tomorrow (Jan 9).
    Yukinee will be there.
    Will update if there's any official info.

    ===========================
    17ki members' Kakizome, available at theater
    Kakizome is basically like a new year resolution, expressed in kanji characters or words.
    Other AKB48 members have fun and wrote funny things, but seems like 17ki girls took it a bit seriously:
    [​IMG]
    My best translation, might be off since kanji can have multiple meanings:
    • Yukitan : "Charm"
    • Kokko : "Do my best in everything"
    • Aichan : "Front"
    • Erichan : "Fortune UP"
    • Nonchan : "Confidence"
    • Yukinee : "Expression"

    I haven't found the pic of the rest.
    Found it!
    [​IMG]

    • Hotechan : "A year of Encounters"
    • Masaru : "Thank you ya de~ at all times"
    • Mizumin : "See/Look" (this kanji also has other meaning such as thinking/point of view, so I'm not 100% sure)
    • Sorara : "Gratitude"
    If you are interested in other AKB48 members' kakizome , check here:

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    https://twitter.com/ultras_festa/status/1612358517926526977

    No livestream so you can only be there or wait for the photos
    Hmm somehow the management pushes them to be on these kind of idol festivals a lot.

    ================================
    Yes, it happened.
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    If you haven't checked it, details are on AKB48 general thread here and Yukinee thread here

    That list is still not 100% accurate. Starting from the top, the following members are listed by more candidates (as some variation of 憧れ・推し・尊敬・好きなメンバー) than shown above:
    (bold indicates the difference is greater than 1, underline marks 17th gens)

    柏木由紀 is listed by 16 candidates, not 14.
    小栗有以 is listed by 11 candidates, not 10.
    武藤十夢 is listed by 6 candidates, not 5.
    小田えりな is listed by 5 candidates, not 3.
    水島美結 is listed by 4 candidates, not 3.
    篠崎彩奈 is listed by 3 candidates, not 2.
    込山榛香 is listed by 3 candidates, not 2.
    歌田初夏 is listed by 3 candidates, not 2.
    布袋百椛 is listed by 4 candidates, not 2.
    谷口めぐ is listed by 2 candidates, not 1.
    浅井七海 is listed by 2 candidates, not 1.
    長友彩海 is listed by 2 candidates, not 1.
    平田侑希 is listed by 2 candidates*, not 1.

    * I could see not counting one of these, but it was counted for 正鋳真優 so it's only fair it be counted for HiraYuki too.

    I'm not sure if the sister group members listed are supposed to be under the 1人 section or just by themselves, but if the former, that's also incorrect. Nako is listed by 3 candidates and Yumirin by 2.

    There are also some members for whom I could not independently verify the total given (i.e. I found less than given above):
    向井地美音 is only listed by 10 candidates, not 11.
    大西桃香 is only listed by 6 candidates, not 7.
    田口愛佳 is only listed by 5 candidates, not 6.
    小林蘭 is only listed by 4 candidates, not 5.
    中井りか is only listed by 1 candidate, not 2.
    However it is not possible to prove the given totals are wrong, I may have failed to consider some alternative spelling of the member's name, or they may have another source of data (e.g. mentioned in SR). Or a room may have been deleted.

    ---------

    I only checked deeper where the raw totals I found did not match, so it's possible some of the other members are actually mentioned fewer times, or outside the context of favorite member/oshimen/etc.

    You may view or download an export of the room data for all 313 audition candidates that I used to determine these numbers here:

    Thanks for the correction and in-depth data!
    Looking at the discrepancies there might be a chance JP people got the room data in earlier dates then some applicants updates happened after that.
    Anyway, had some fun looking and searching around, so thanks again!

    ===================================
    17kenkyuujo #20 tonight, Jan 11 at 19:00 JST !
    [​IMG]
    Participants will be Yukinee, Mizumin, Yukitan and Erichan.
    Topics mainly about Yukinee's recent Coming-of-Age ceremony (which is now I realized got rebranded as “20-year-old Gathering” (二十歳のつどい, hatachi no tsudoi), since 18 is now the legal adult age).
    Will cover the backstage stories, also some new-year themed games.

    5th AKB48 groups singing contest - related tidbits
    [​IMG]
    Yukitan, Erichan, and Hotechan tweeted that they have finished recording their qualification performances!
    Hotechan specifically said she performed "secret base ~ Kimi ga Kureta Mono" as her song. It's the same song she performed during her audition as 17ki!
    Unfortunately she's a bit unhappy because she did it better in her practice compared to the real one.

    No news from Sorara, Aichan, Masaru yet.

    tbh I'm not familiar with the game so I can't explain well.

    Basically final top 7 will get a CM, but the details like guild battle etc. escapes me.
    All I see is 17ki members doing the guild battles everyday, sometimes in showroom, and when they don't understand they go and ask Yukitan.[hehe]

    17ki was in Ultras Festa vol 11 (Jan 14) (うるトラすフェスタ vol. 11)
    [​IMG]
    They were the last act of the event, appearing at 20:00 JST
    The setlist seems like a blast, according to the audience there!

    Setlist for Ultras Festa vol 11 (Jan 14) (うるトラすフェスタ vol. 11)
    • M1 Ougon Center (Erichan center!)
    • M2 Iiwake Maybe
    • M3 Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara
    • MC Introduction
    • M4 Chance no Junban (Kokko center!)
    • M5 Saikyou Twintail (Sorara center)
    • M6 #Sukinanda
    • MC 
    • M7 Wonderful Love
    • M8 Oogoe Diamond
    credits to :https://twitter.com/yuyuyukitan27/status/1614227277474320387

    2 new songs! Ougon Center and Chance no Junban!
    Lovely choices and more repertoire! <3
    Not sure who centered other songs, since right now people only commented about how the tension was high when Kokko centered Chance no Junban. :)
    A proof of progress for Kokko! ;)

    EDIT : According to this tweet, the position for Chance no Junban was fittingly decided by Janken, and Kokko got the center spot.:1st:
    https://twitter.com/_teflon/status/1614228381482225666

    I believe this is what Masaru and Yukitan was talking about when they mentioned Kokko was lucky and we would know the answer 2 weeks after that talk.:^^;:

    EDIT 2: Saikyou Twintail is mentioned to be obviously Sorara center. Erichan's tweet mentioned that she centered Ougon Center!

    Oh no, Aichan got Covid :(
    https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12784577337.html
    Due to that she'll be absent from LJK-special 17kenkyuujo tomorrow (Jan 17) (LJK= Girls in last year of high school)
    Also will be absent from Jan 21-22 hanashikai.
    Her sister Kiichan also quarantine for safety.

    Apparently on her mail yesterday she already mentioned that she was feeling a bit unwell.

    I wonder if she can make it to the special 17ken subscriber only theater show on Jan 23?
    If she can't, will someone else do her position?
    Last time, for the previous subs only show on Dec 28, when Mizumin had to go for the SHOWROOM award,
    I was wrong, it seems like Yukitan did Yukinee's original position, while Yukinee covered for Mizumin's position, and didn't appear for a few songs (maybe she wasn't able to master all the required positions)
    (source: fan's review: https://ameblo.jp/nyan-naka213/entry-12783653868.html)

    Before all that, I hope Aichan will be able to recover without any prolonging effects.

    A bit more summary for 17kenkyuujo #20 since I just got to watch it:
    As pictured above, featured Yukitan, Mizumin, Yukinee and Eriko.
    Subs count down a bit:
    [​IMG]
    But they are ready with some gimmicks to increase subs again:
    17ki specials New Year Ema (Small wooden wishing plaques) for lucky subscribers!
    [​IMG]
    Another subscribers-only theater show on Jan 23:
    [​IMG]
    details here : https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12783780265.html

    Then they showed footage of Yukinee's “20-year-old Gathering” ceremony.
    The highlight for me was that she clearly fell asleep during certain parts [hehe]:
    [​IMG]

    Then they moved on to the new year games.
    Eating Udon is customary for new year, but this cooperative udon eating style??
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    It was really fun to see them trying to coordinate and racing to finish the udon [hehe]
    Also two other games after that, Daruma Otoshi and Janken+ Ink face paint for the loser.

    Ended up with the pic above.

    =============================
    Masaru got to "argue" with the 18ki judge staff.

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    She was asked to send in her poll quickly because she's running late, but she actually had submitted it to Ueki-manager and was just talking about it with her audience.
    It was a poll for what merchandise they should make for the 1500 subs goal.
    Staff also said (jokingly?) "why are you looking so rough today??", to which Masaru responded lightly.
    When asked why she's familiar with the staff, seems like the judges for 18ki are the same staffs that's running 17kenkyuujo!
    So since it's judged by people who are close to 17ki, we can expect similar level for 18ki showroom result, maybe?

    17kenkyuujo #21 short summary
    Featuring Masaru, Sorara, Hotechan, and Mizumin as Aichan replacement.
    Which is funny because some said Mizumin still looks like a highschooler, but a repeat-year one lol[hehe]

    What's more, they are all in Miko outfits!:blush:
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    They all look extra charming with those! :XD:

    First 30 mins are as usual very relaxed, baking and eating mochi.
    Masaru talks about her MVP reward, she decided to use the points to get a Semi-Double bed for her family.

    Subs count are up again, close to the next target of 1500,
    [​IMG]
    so they were seriously talking on what merchandise would be good. There were lots of good ideas, but we'll see which ones get implemented.
    Oh what about the training camp? It's not forgotten, don't worry!
    It's so cold right now :cold: so they are waiting for the weather to warm up before doing it.

    Sorara had her usual corner : Weekly Sorara
    This time talking about some unusual eating habits of the girls.
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    Wait, where are you looking at?? :awesome:
    [​IMG][​IMG]

    After that they had some games about proposing and giving rings:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Then the "Fukuwarai" game (basically matching face parts blindfolded)
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Which one is the real Masaru? :confused:
    [​IMG]

    Anyway that certain Masaru pic is the MVP this episode[hehe]
    [​IMG]


    Next Episode #22 will be on Jan 24
    [​IMG]
    featuring Nonchan, Kokko, Aichan, and Sorara. Will dig deeper about NonKokko relationship!

    https://twitter.com/akb48_17ken/status/1614235039038074880
    Was taken in October 2022. Apparently Erichan has never lost a Werewolf game, while Masaru never played this before and had to be taught the rules.

    ===================
    Hotechan's after-lesson showroom, "got invaded" by the other 17ki (Masaru, Yukinee, Yukitan, Sorara)
    Ending up being a wholesome karaoke session together :blush::

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    They actually sing pretty well! Singing some popular songs, including Ougon Center.
    Nice to see them having fun together.

    They were practicing for the Kotone no Hi festival performance on Jan 27.
    Also hinting that there will be a "difficult" song for that day. Another new song!

    I'm not familiar with all the costumes, I can see Aichan with Iiwake Maybe, Nonchan with Oogoe, Sorara with Hisalippu, the rest are familiar but unsure for me. :confused:

    EDIT with full info of the costumes from the two posts below:
    Yukitan: Romance, Irane
    Kokko: So Long!
    Aichan: Iiwake Maybe
    Eriko: Moto Kare desu
    Nonchan: Oogoe Diamond
    Yukinee: Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru
    Hotechan: Sayonara Crawl
    Masaru: Sentimental Train
    Mizumin: Nemohamo Rumor
    Sorara: Hisashiburi no Lipgloss

    =======================
    As posted by @xabizalla96 in Mizumin's thread:
    This is what @Mana asked before.
    Her previous scheduled performance in Team B was cancelled due to her getting Covid.

    ==========================
    HADO Final Season Day 3 (Jan 19)
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Their opponent this time is a single member from Japan best team, Arc-A's.
    The point is to train their aim and dodge.
    [​IMG]

    They had to have this 3vs1 handicap to actually win 6-3 :^^;:
    [​IMG]

    17ki got praised for the teamwork though!
    [​IMG]

    Also Serika was sick so instead Sorara got in Team A to help collecting balls:
