    Like been said from her tweet, she had a recording of something (probably drama?) and she told us to look forward to it.

    Also she'll be guest starring in the 9th episode of "A Meal Makes Her Forget" / "Boukyaku no Sachiko". Been a while since we saw her on a drama. It will be aired on 7 December (Friday).

    She is scheduled to have some appearance on some TV shows and media regarding Tohoku (since it's March)

    And she showed support to Juri regarding her decision to debut in Korea. And somewhat both frustrated and motivated to not lose to her same gen. We believe you can do it, Karen! :1st:

    She was guest again in NMB48 Topme Tottande. Guess her mahjong skill is acknowledge enough. :)

    Karen must've been sad for not being able to participate in Tohoku show this year.. As she has devoted herself for Tohoku...

    But her recovery is more important for now and I hope she recovers well..

    D0ts6KrVAAEw9IV-orig.jpg D00g12OUYAAfTOe-orig.jpg D0ts6KtU4AEKaCQ-orig.jpg




    She also updated her blog, short message talking about her gratitude for having life 8 years after the tsunami.

    Iwata Karen Lineblog Translation 2019/03/11




    Lastly, Story Web interviewed her, talking about Tohoku and her suffering when she was in AKB labeled as the "Earthquake Disaster Girl".
    It's worth to read.

    Also it looks like she will not be able to do activities and updates her social media for a while, as she's concentrating for her treatment.

    Till then! :fear:
