    That's a winner of a post from @dinbradpitt. Many thanks. I found a Chinese translation of the Karin-Hikaru part of the with magazine interview. I think my translation of the Chinese may be slightly closer to the original Japanese than the machine translation of the Korean, lol. I've put the full translation on my (rather disused) blog here.

    Karin says once again that before she joined the group she was almost a hikikomori, staying in her room and not doing much. Early in the 2gens' time in the group, the members told her she should just relax and feel free to be herself and she became determined to show herself as she is and not "lie". This is one of the main reasons I like her: the lack of pretense (which is actually a downside for an idol). Karin has said she is the member who most likes doing things by herself.

    She and Hikaru say that the atmosphere in the group is very good, that the 2gens are all very close. Hikaru says that everyone can express their opinion about how to do things, but that no-one takes credit they shouldn't.

    Karin says that she even enjoys the hardest times, times when she is under so much pressure that she feels like vomiting. Hikaru says the two of them like to "live on the edge," and they both laugh. Hikaru appears to be the one member who usually agrees with Karin's opinions.

    Each of them goes through all the members of Sakurazaka and says what they are "professional" at. Karin says Oonuma is a specialist at being really weird, but that's her charm. She says Rena is a very cute classic idol. She says Kosaka is the group's specialist in put-downs and Masumoto is a specialist in entangling people (Hikaru says she specializes in being put down, lol.) The other interviewees -- Sugai, KobaYui and Koike -- characterize Karin and Hikaru in the same way. Sugai says that Karin pays attention to details of her performance twice as much as anyone else, and Yui says she is professional in her powers of expression.

    Lots of interesting stuff, anyway.

    From previous photos, I'm pretty sure that's her father. Not certain about mother. Shabushabu restaurant in downtown Osaka. Organic vegetables sent "directly" from the countryside, pork from Kagoshima (southern Kyushu).

    @Torigoya-San -- You mentioned her "exceptional skin quality". Have you seen her first introduction on the KeyaKake TV show, where her charm point is how elastic her cheeks are? Members come up and play with the skin of her cheeks and they say it's "like tapioca" or like a baby's skin (at around 2:40 in this 15-minute video of Karin highlights). That 2gen introduction show can be seen subbed here. (On the Keyavids site.)

    The "tapioca" is most likely referring to those black pearl-like balls (made from tapioca flour) found in bubble tea. Bubble tea is essentially tea with milk and all kinds of flavouring, and those black pearls of course. It is currently popular in many parts of East Asia, especially among young females. My guess is that her skin was bouncy like those black perls (lol). For reference, Ishimori and Ozeki had a tapioca tasting test in the 138th episode of Keyakakke.

    Q kira said that she will make karin-chan fall for her again after oshihen-ing, but who did karin oshihen to?
    ten: i'm curious too

    karin said that her interest keep changing. the one she told kira is rena, because she's azatoi and she likes that kind of person

    people who are direct opposite of her with feminine vibes. and rena likes to use emoji and stickers when they are chatting, karin is like "man shes cute", and got attracted from there

    ten: she's so gullible! kira-chan, just stay away from her!

    recently karin fell for habu
    ten: she's azatoi?
    karin: she's not but recently she's like, the group's boyfriend. she always say ikemen things. but she's cute. sometimes i just feel that she's adorable, despite her being the senior

    karin: i used to feel that she's cool but lately i'm like "she's so cute!"
    ten: kira-chan, good luck.

    I'd like to ask you to stop linking me or copy pasting my translations here. I blocked you on Twitter for a reason, one that I've seen evidence you continue to do (liking, following, and even creating contents that sexualize the members using photoshop and deepfakes). You even blocked me back, so it makes me really uncomfortable to see you doing this

    I didn't know what to say. I was expecting Karin to be able to center something that wasn't a love song since this single seems to have a gloomy vibe, and with Hono being the center somehow doesn't surprise me that much.
    A little bit shock but it's alright, everything has just begun, there's still time.

    The rot sets in. Not that I don't like Hono, which I do. Not that this might not work commercially, which it very well could. Just that it goes in the very idol direction that I don't like: popularity over all. Popularity over dancing artistry (e.g., Suzumoto, Karin) and over quirky directness of character (e.g., Memi, Karin).

    I might comfort myself that I think Karin doesn't care that much about centre, and only wants to perform with the group. But sending her to the third row means she gets to perform less. The best performer sent all the way out of the Sakura 8. Suddenly sending her to the third row seems like a step toward leaving the group, as it was with Suzumoto. I'm shocked and saddened.

    At least she's still on the main song, which gives me some hope about the song quality even though I disagree with part of saku8.
    Like I wrote on the single thread I really really hope we are going to have another BacksLive because the quality of it would be out of this world.
    She'll be back in Saku8 soon I think

    She simply has to find her persona. Once she establishes her character, she will receive the recognition she deserves. Karin joined for a reason and I believe one of those reasons was to change herself. She's in the main song so she still has a shot at redemption. Management didn't support her for the first 2 singles just to shelve her. She'll do great.

    Karin have made a wonderful work in 1st and 2nd single. Maybe she need a rest in 3rd

    She comeback stronger in 4 single. Congrat to risa center .its a last chance to 1 ki become center. I guest pon gonna be center coupling center too.

    No matter position karin is .she will always center to me. Will keep supporting her . Fans need to sold out her meguri if S&F look that way

    Having nightmare last night. Because of karin in 3rd row.

    I'm glad she had the same thought I had. Although she's full of regrets not being in sakura8, to not end up feeling worse, she'll turn that feeling into strength to do her best cos she believes her spot means it's something only she can do and she's sure to like it.

    #karintalk.

    This from google translation

    Everyone, it's been a long time, the formation of the third single has been announced. When I talked about personal things, I was very disappointed. I'm really sorry to all the fans that the standing position was lowered on the 3rd sheet even though I was also working at the coupling center for the 1st and 2nd sheets. I am aware that this has happened because I was able to live and I couldn't get any results.

    Something wasn't enough for my performance, I didn't show my feelings very much, I wasn't enough for how to treat the fans, all the causes I'm sure there is something I can't change my personality that I can't bend, even though I'm sure my clumsiness is going in the wrong direction. And I wasn't particular about my standing position, and it's still the same, but I've become a hill and the system has changed, so if I don't join the eight, I may end up with songs that I can't participate in. I also had the goal of being involved in performance.

    It takes my own efforts to make that happen, and above all, the support of the fans will help. I love the activity that I like the most, so much as production, but I'm really disappointed to think that I can't get involved in it, and I can't stay even if I'm there. increase.

    For the third single, I will do my best to find something that only I can do so that I can not end this regret with just regret. It is also a feeling that I will turn the fact that I have deviated from the eight into a strength.

    I also feel like trying to change it. And for the first time, I would like to do my best to myself. I'm really sorry that I couldn't participate in all the songs. I've talked about it for a long time, but above all, I will continue to do so.

    #karintalk

    Karin!!! You've done so well and really working hard. Don’t be hard on your self. I will support you more.

    Please smile a lot, talk a lot. The position is not that important. Let’s enjoy the activity.

    Karin's approach has always been to be herself. But the fans want her to be someone else, an item that matches their desires. And management wants to take the easy route and just follow the fans. That's reasonable, whether I like it or not.

    She should not feel as if she has failed. She has centred the two best songs the group has done, and has given outstanding performances, both in dancing and in expression of emotion. The fault is in the idol world, not in Karin. If she wants to succeed in the idol world, she has to change herself. For me, this will make her worse in various ways, but I also think she can do it if she wants. And that ability to exert control over herself rather than just be natural will probably help her accomplish more in her future life, wherever she takes it. Whether it will help her be happier, I don't know.

    I'm watching a current anime called Kageki Shoujo (かげきしょうじょ!!). It's about an idol with an unexpressive personality who leaves her group after being passed over for the centre role that was due to be hers, and enters the training school of a performance troupe clearly based on Takarazuka. I wonder if Karin would fit better there. I have long thought she had the kind of emotional expressiveness in performance (not in normal life, lol) that could make her a good film actress, but her dancing would be wasted. Perhaps Takarazuka? It's near Osaka.

    @ukifune I would love to see Karin in Takarazuka, but I believe she's already too old to enter it and a girl need to really want it to succeed there. The obedience required and the strict rules in place can take students to their limits. It's a school before being a group (or, well, several groups).
    I think Karin would do very well in a similar professional enviroment anyway, especially seeing her ease in performing songs she feels so different from who she is. It's a good skill to have.

    I'm sure mngmnt took her out of Saku8 and center position only temporarily, but I hope there will be more chances to see her talent displayed than singles. A dancing unit with TakeYui, Fuuchan, Hikari would be great for Sakura, and a way to create a real strong performing group.

    Meanwhile, I thank you for the anime and I'm gonna find it lol

    I think it’s good if Karin wants to change and becomes a better version of herself. But if that change is against her nature and she has to keep chasing after other people’s expectations for her, would Karin be happy? Personally, I wish Karin will be able to find and create her own path that is based on her nature and ability. It’s a hard route (that takes a lot of time, gut and effort) especially when the idol world favors bubblier personalities, but it’s not like a market for those like her doesn’t exist either. However, everything depends on what she prioritizes right now. If she believes that she needs to change to become more popular and quickly attract fans for the group, who am I to tell her otherwise?

    @ukifune I started watching Kageki Shoujo! which is Takarazuka under another name lol and I don't know if Karin would be happy in an enviroment like that (or anyone without a very big goal to reach), but I would love to see her to play Ai in an eventual actionplay or in theater.
    Only problem: the way Sarasa interact with Ai is SO MUCH like Riko was with Karin I can't unseen it :rofl:
    Man, I miss those two together.

    I'm going completely OOT here, but let me just say Hikari would make a perfect Sugimoto and Risa senpai is so Risa I'd just pay for mngmnt to produce a Sakura version of Kageki Shoujo lol
