More tweets, What can i say about airi here? She looks a little… intense https://twitter.com/erichan_akb48/status/1637951306345381890?s=46&t=2KxRQXvcVugy3WXUixRjTg
According to the info from other 17ki in several MCs of the theater, her hugs are soooo intense to the point they hurts Xd Spoiler The excuse of Airi is that when she see a cute girl she feels the need hug her very strong
Some more pictures! From Shinobu's Twitter: Erichan posted a picture of "EriEriEri" and one with the 17th gens! Erichan is good at posting updates, she shared a lot of pictures
Erichan's profile picture on IG: Her first post! She said that she will upload a lot of IG stories with videos/q&a! Some of her IG stories... Make sure to follow her
Happy 17th Birthday Erichan! Pic from Seitansai at theater Her comments from theater (translated with the support from DeepL) : source : https://twitter.com/dedemaruenzo/status/1647487182041665537 Pic from 17kenkyuujo Now hopefully she's old enough to enter senbatsu! Extras: Her fans put up an Erichan Birthday Poster at Akihabara Station https://twitter.com/SS45_Site/status/1647399600704331776 from almost a week ago: if the video does not show watch the video here idk what's this if the video does not show watch the video here
I'm a little late but Happy 17th Birthday to Erichan!!! She posted some nice photos on Twitter for her birthday: I read her comment from her birthday stage (posted above) and it's so nice ;w; As a long-time fan of Acchan, I can really relate to Eriko for this! and I love that she's such a big fan of AKB Btw this is a bit random, but there was a little 17th gen members ranking (votes) done by international fans. it was done this month, and Erichan ranked #1 in the final results You can read all the details about it here! This ranking was also done 6 months ago, and she was #5 back then. She really grew a lot in popularity ^^ I hope she can be even more successful in the next year, and that we'll get to see her in senbatsu eventually!
if the video does not show watch the video here She talks about her birthday presents from members, plus She revealed that Kohi-chan's oshi is Erichan! Apparently Kohi had said that to her from the beginning. Kohi gave Erichan Usuyaki Senbei (her fav food), lipstick?/lipgloss?, and a letter for her birthday. Also I love Erichan's dedication to AKB48 Erichan mentioned in her mail that she is joining OO48 to improve her skill for future activities in AKB48 that she loves. source : translation by @erikopics : https://twitter.com/erikopics/status/1649351112133332993
So earlier in April, DMM approved of Erichan's request to revive the STAFF Theater Show footage (高橋みなみプロデュース公演「STAFF公演」) (link to DMM news : link) https://twitter.com/erichan_akb48/status/1642423399892017152 Her reason to request this : "Because this footage is not available in Eizo Souko right now, also because I really want to see it again! Also, watching it after I joined AKB48 will certainly make me go "Ah! It's that staff person!" It's a rare theater show, so I want to see it again." It leads to Matsu-san, one of her manager, getting shocked after finding some footage of the STAFF show floating around in Tiktok. She was one of the performer there, after all. At the time she was often confused with Shinobu-san. Matsu-san eventually found out from fans that it was Eriko who requested it, and Eriko just commented that the show was lovely, to which Matsu-san felt being made fun of. https://twitter.com/machusaya/status/1650292775810895872 Not sure if this is the video she saw but what I found from Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@akb48groupsurprise/video/7210798785792953602 Anyway props to Erichan for remembering such a rare one-time only Theater show even exists and actually requested it to DMM for revival. What an AKB48 fan indeed.
As you wish, Erichan will be back to Team B's stage on May 18th. https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12802625062.html Eriko is now the 2nd choice after Hashimoto Haruna for this position while others have at least 2 candidates so her chance to perform will be higher.
Erichan in today Team B stage: https://twitter.com/erichan_akb48/status/1659181464976773121 From Naamin's Twitter: https://twitter.com/48_asainanami/status/1659175732051054593 From Satomina's Twitter: https://twitter.com/sato_minami16th/status/1659172038660206596 From Kyoka's Twitter: https://twitter.com/kyoka_113_/status/1659172361126686722 From Senatan's Twitter: https://twitter.com/SenaIshiwata48/status/1659201962309742592 From Nagi's Twitter: https://twitter.com/s_snowgirl_n/status/1659168600392110080 From Ayana's Twitter: https://twitter.com/ayana18_48/status/1659169969035419654 My favourite moment:
We talked about this in the discord and I think I'd share it here too I was watching Erichan's showroom and some fans mentioned that there's a Weibo (Chinese social media site) AKB48 Fan-Sousenkyo where she's at #7 and Yuiyui at #1 , at least for the preliminary results at the time. I got interested to find it out and here's what I get: Credits to @tabulanana on discord for giving me hints where to find it. After digging for a while, I don't understand Chinese so I did some assumptions, but I want to share what I understand: The site that does the voting is https://vote.akbfanclub.top/ There are THREE rankings going on, one main event (for Current members) ,the Historical Members Popularity and the CP (I assume CP = couples?) Popularity The https://vote.akbfanclub.top/vote/member/ link is to vote for current members. (voting is over) Each person can vote once a day, and each time they can vote up to 3 members. There are negative votes only for historical members. For CP vote, you vote for 2 members you like in pair (like MaYuki pair) , you can also additionally add a third member (like No3B trio). There are Preliminary results and Midterm results, just like the real one The Voting Period is from July 2 to July 9 The results will be posted on Weibo bulletin board by this user named 肥秋系掲示板 https://weibo.com/u/6558445359 There were 2432 unique people voting, with 5991 votes cast.

I did see her speak some Chinese here and there in the showroom And I think at one point she did a gratitude showroom where she put effort into writing in Chinese for her fans who supported her on the showroom contest. Perhaps that's why?
Congrats Eriko!!! She will be in senbatsu for the 62nd single, and this is her first senbatsu. I think we can all agree that she deserves this considering how well she has been doing in HS sales since last year already. I'm happy for her ^^ Looking forward to see her in the promotions! Hopefully this will make her even more popular, I want to see the new gens doing well! She made a tweet about it and shared a photo
Eriko has moved out from KKS ShareHouse apparently if the video does not show watch the video here She says it's okay to tell this info. She's not telling who/how many are living with her though. The reason being that this is an important moment and living together has its downsides on having to quarantine if any of the current members caught COVID. Aww a bit sad they are not living together anymore but I think she has her reasons too Perhaps a bit more (financial) support from management after entering senbatsu and selling well? Hopefully her family/other member is taking care of her daily life, she's still pretty young to live alone in Tokyo haha
I've just had a Limista signing from Erichan which had been delayed due to her being unwell last month: She was very surprised and happy to have a fan from the UK and as I was watching it live in Showroom I sent her a 'Thank You Erichan' message which she read out and replied with 'Thank You' (39:25 - 40:06, credit to uploader): if the video does not show watch the video here
