Anai Chihiro (Chihiron) / 1st Generation

Damn. This means there will be no cute Cap ranking moment this year. I look forward to it every year. Last year's was her hug with Haruppi and the year before that was walking down to the stage with Meru.

 

I have somewhat calmed down and whatever her reason to withdraw from the election, I'll be fine. Doesn't seem like she's graduating either way.

 

I don't know if anyone save money head for the ssk (I don't) but maybe you guys could continue to save so that next year you gonna have more votes for her!

 

I have nothing to do so I compiled a list of her magazine appearance since Dec 2015. I probably missed a thing or two so feel free to correct it.

^She's gonna be in Young Animal too?I decided to ordered it with the SSK singles because Aanya gonna be in that one(if I'm not mistaken)!

 

Yep, she will be on the front cover with Haruppi, Natsu, Aoi, and Madoka.

 

The official profile picture has been updated so here's Chihiro's!!

 

dat yaeba sticking out of her lip

 

^ Which is why it is her charm point!

 

Chihiro is part of team Natsutabi Ouendan (lit. Summer Trip Supporters) for JR Nishinippon

She announced her graduation just now.

 

Well, someone here will be enraged like no tomorrow hearing it.

Wish her a good luck. She did a great run in the idol world so far, and will be surely missed.

I assume Natsu will be temporary captain, right?

edit: She is in Haruppi live stream currently. I don't know when it will last.

She's the first big name graduating. I wonder if she'll have a concert, since they'll be touring

 

^ I hope she get her concert, she deserved that at least

 

Mixed feelings.

 

F*ck!I knew she was graduating when I opened G+ and saw that Mao and Meru took selfies with her but I was hoping I was wrong!She wasn't on top of my list favorites but I still liked her and she was an important presence in HKT so it's stung a little!Like I say often everyone love Kyappu!No one gonna replace her and her ponkostu!Did she said why she was graduating?

 

Her graduation becomes the top news in Yahoo! JAPAN. She said she would graduate to concentrate on the college study, and after the graduation, she would study abroad.
Cap has been loved by every member and fan. I feel regret but would rather celebrate her decision.

 

HKT lost their beloved captain. Will Sakaguchi Riko take the captaincy?

She had done all she could in HKT. She ranked, supported young gen, motivated troops during concert, and also extended her time belong us commuting between idol activities and college. We should feel grateful to the extra time we had with her.

She has lived her idol life to the fullest, moving on to new adventures. She's graduating without any regrets, but with plenty of great memories she built with her friends. I can't feel bad about it. I feel like the job has been done.

Who are we going to tease now? Maybe Ueki. I hope without her around, HKT girls won't feel too lonely.

 

Well there goes my hkt interest. I was really looks big forward to seeing chihiro participate this year and when she said she wasn't going to I was disappointed but I would've never thought graduation. She has surely shocked everyone. But I hope she can succeed in her future. Go chihiro

 

sad to know that Chihiron graduation annoucement........
