This news just made my day B-)

 

OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS!

Exactly what she wanted. I'm so happy for her!

I can't wait to see her in K5.

 

Oh well, I don't know her but... Congratz!

 

Congratulations Chikariina!!!

 

YEEEEEEES!! CONGRATULATIONS, CHIKARINA!

Her promotion took FOREVER, but finally, congratulations!
I still remember seeing her in the 2008 Top 100/AX DVD and thinking, "DAYUM, this girl is Team K material."
She would have done awesome in either Team K or Team B, but I'm glad she ended up in Team K. Such a good fit, plus, it's what she wanted.
This makes me even more excited for K5!

 

as we have predicted before that she wil be in team K.

Congrats, Chikarina

 

i have to admit that I don't know her that much, but I've seen her perform in B4 a lot of times. She's very promising. Can't wait to see her in K5!

 

One of the now-former kenkyuusei and newly added Team K member, I am happy for Rina as i believe she has worked hard for it, as most other girls, and i wish her the best!
And after seeing her a few times live as a Kenkyuusei on stage, i am convinced she will be a good addition to Team K, congrats Rina!!

 

Omedettou Chikarina !!!!!
Rock the world with Team K !!!

 

i also want to congratulate her even though i don't know her,,,

WELCOME TO TEAM K!!

looking forward to see her performing.. her promotion is a very nice advance gift for her birthday..

 

I'm so happy for Chikarina! She was my fav RS for the longest time now, so I'm glad to finally see her get promoted. It also means my liking for Team K just went up a bit, seeing as she is now officially my fav Team K member

 

I think we were all anticipating this, but finally, it happened!

Congratulations!

 

Oh cool, congrats! I've been liking her lately, so yay that she got into my favorite team!

Congrats, Rina!

 

Congratulations to Chikarina for her promotion. Well it was kind of time she got the promotion to a Team after being one of the older RS member. So now there is only Uriya left from the 2008 Visual Books that isnt promoted...

 

Sorry for the late congrats ...
Congratulations Chikarina ~
I will try to take more notice of this girl ...

 

BIG congratulations to Chikarina!!!

So her promotion to Team K is the first promotion
to Team K since Naruru got hers last year.....wow...
Why does Team K gets less promotion compared to Team A and B?

 

Because they haven't had spots that needed to be filled, unlike A and B.

 

Congrats, Rina!

When I first read the news on the AKB48 blog (I couldn't check Stage48 this morning and Memolist hadn't updated yet), I thought for sure that it was Uriya that was promoted since I don't know any kanji... but then I checked and saw that it was Chikano.

Anyway, congrats... even though most of us thought you'd be in K5 anyway.
