Agreed. I can see not just Keicchi, but all 5 of first gen(Yuppi, Haru, Momoka, and Milky)who sit out this year in similar explanation as well. I like to think this is a good situation. A situation where there's potential that entirety of NMB could break apart, not just from SSK(Which I assume NMB fans have realized it from last year), but also from 48G franchise as well AND still stay alive. Yet, NMB still saw AKB as extra channel for promotion(Kennin) and pushes(Single). Even then, they have their own primary channel to do so. I just wish this year we're no longer treat a girl from her SSK rank. AKB fans vehemently follow this path, resulting in SSK being a serious business, and dragging Sister Group girls as undesired effect. Or should I said "Collateral Damage"?
Keicchi had her birthday performance on Monday ^^ I don't suppose anyone has an English translation of the letters she got from Aika/Ririka/her mother, or even of her speech after? I think she mentioned something about her reasons for not entering the Sousenkyo but my Japanese isn't good enough to understand it all, and I'd really like to know what she said!
To light up the mood, Riripon: NG desu ne! Uuka: Mecha taberu! Aika: Sugoi chikara! Yuuri can't stop giggling for several minutes after. Such is hilarity of YNN archive.
Jonishi's Episode of AKB Love Night Koi Koujou is next week. if the video does not show watch the video here
Wow, she's really good! It'd be great to see her perform it live someday. (A new Keicchi fan here, hi!)
Dammit, there goes my 2-oshi T_T Should be happy for her but it still got to me that she's leaving... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All the way back since she would not participate in the Sosenkyo, I knew this was coming... Good luck on your upcoming graduation Keicchi!!!
Somehow I already anticipating this Really sad to let my number 1 Oshi in NMB go. Goodluck for your career girl.
Not surprising, she did not really get that much from the group. I hope she continue as a model or something like that. She still have THE best body in the whole 48G, just stunning beauty with the most amazing body I ever seen. Also NMB seems just to get further and further behind everyone else, quite sad to witness :/
so sad about this, she is such a unique member in the 48 group and i was really hopping for a theater performance with her sister.
