    I don't think anyone is sulking -.- least of all Sakura. Maybe she wanted to try something new instead of the always smile that everyone else is doing - I think she might just be trying something different. Or what i think is more likely- it looks like something is wrong with the location. It kinda looks like it's cold or something.
    Either way: that photo is aweful. And she isn't the only one who looks like that. Yokoyama Yui looks horrible. Her hair and you can't call that a smile. Even Suda Akari's smile looks forced. And Rie doesn't even look to the camera. Churi looks like she bit into a lemon, Ogiyukas hair should have been fixed and Jurinas pose is kinda weird. Nitpicking here. But this is just to analyse, I don't think Sakura was unprofessional I think the Photographer was just bad at his Job.

    i agree to this, maybe it is the result of editing via photoshop:^^;:? if my prediction is true then their editor made a horrible mistake :gavel:

    Judging by how badly the photographer captured the senbatsu... I'd say it was likely she was responding to that. Again, I can't imagine she's doing this without some amount of self-awareness -- otherwise she definitely couldn't have made it to K7. A momentary lapse of poise being rushed around maybe? SSK this year was chaotic; maybe this was just her unease?

    But @kio(BossOshi)'s comment does have some merit -- maybe she's trying a Sasshi-like poker face in this pic. It definitely stands out... but prolly not how she intended. At any rate... a smiling Sakura is miles more than a resting b-faced Sakura.

    So the photographer takes plenty of shots and it's more likely that she just wasn't pictured smiling in all of them and that the one selected, which represented the best shot of everyone as a group, was one of those pics.
    They've had plenty of time to reflect on the election and she was fine in the pics right after the election. I think there's too much being assumed from that one pic.

    I was actually commenting on the group offshot posted by fatrain. If that means the photographer discarded it, then good. On the other hand, if he discarded it, how was it published?

    I disagree with silenka who said that she was sulking

    Even back when she is sad because she didnt get to center Melon Juice where she expected the most to be the center because of her great jump in SSK, she did great and professional in their cover photoshoot and all of the performance heck even she was just 15 years old back then (whom I think is still a child)

    In SSK 2016 too even when she cried during the speech she did great in the mizugi surprise

    Now she is 19 years old I really dont think when she didnt reach her goal/some newcomer in senbatsu or kami 7 made her 'sulking' purposely in a photoshoot. My opinion is she still not ready to smile and pose by the time this photo being shot and the one didnt make sure to chose a pic when all of the girls looking good in there (cuz some member look so stiff too)

    is K7 still a thing? ahahaha
    Sakura probably was very self-aware of he rank. 4th was exactly what she was expecting. Higher than that would had been a plus. Lower than that would had been unexpected (even with the NGT girl getting 1st place on 1st day)

    True -- if the photographer chose shots that supposedly showed the best overall look... it's highly unlikely he chose the exact two that showed Sakura with that expression (or lack of expression, as it were). Good point about Sakura's past recovery from disappointment as well... she's not prone to losing control over minutiae.

    Perhaps the shoot was a bit rushed, seems to fit the evidence. But it's still awkward as well, that the only sullen face happens to be hers in all shots.

    Anyhow, next topic -- #Sukinanda is the 49th single...

    It was photographed in Okinawa the day after the SSK, the weather was probably windy.

    Also, Sakura's gravure has gotten pretty conservative recently, perhaps she's becoming a Takamina-esque prude in her old age (19) :lol:

    I would prefer to think Sakura really had to take a shit but wasn't allowed thus causing her to be pretty upset. I feel like that makes the whole situation more relatable than some decently wealthy young woman who got in Kami 7 and just wasn't having a good day lol

    About Ogiyuka, I saw her other gravure photos from a couple weeks ago and I have to say I'm not too fond of her gravure shoots either. I too think that her body is not the typical gravure type body, which isn't a wrong thing at all, but I would love cute photoshoots of her; she has a really pretty and cute face imo

    There's no way to know for sure, unless she's talked about it. But yeah, she's salty about something considering that's two important pics she's like that.

    Attention @ithebigc can you ask her next time when you attend her HS?

    I don't think Sakura is unprofessional enough to use the "marinade in your disappointment" technique to convince fans to "do better next time"... it's not a good image for her :/ I wonder if she wasn't feeling well.
