LOL we are drifting here. Not impressed at first, but there weren't many videos or even photos on the first two pages. I have recalled that also Keyakizaka is oshiless, but when I'm looking at their blog I feel as if having opened a fridge, so... As we are already talking about oshi and stuff, while a lot depends on how I feel about the girls and perceive their looks, there are also clear requirements for such a status, which might be obvious from my list, but probably not written explicitly anywhere yet. So let's take a look: very long stay with the group after oshi promotion (five years serve as a guideline); long hair (shoulder length at least); regular bikini gravure; and another less rigorous point, that applies mostly to group oshi: caretaking and leadership of the group. After six years I must say that I didn't have that really trouble with girls not "respecting" any part of the deal - infractions were singular Down to Nogizaka girls doing mentioned kind of gravure. The only graduate so far is Milky with something between 4.5 and 5 years of being my oshi. Hinatan is going to be my 16th active Japanese oshi, first in NGT48 and NGT48 would be itself 6th group with an oshi. That's a full team already... So let's prepare for a long run, folks!
Hinatan bought those sweets that has 48G members cards as anime characters. She got Kojimako, Kitarie, Team8's Nagi, Juri and Yukirin. She almost hit the NGT48 jackpot if only she got Katomina with Yukirin and Kitarie! Translated by parutart @ twitter NGTLD 170407「habit that's hard to break」 Hinatan: asking people if I could take a bite on their food Ainya: i can't stop myself from telling Hinatan that shes cute, Hinatan has always been my oshimen. Hinatan's face is my type of face, she's good at dancing, singing & MCing! she can do anything, she's really cute.
Hinatan is in the Sousenkyo special feature on today's issue of Nikkan Sports (Niigata local edition). Spoiler Also, just let you know about the content: there's a kinda interesting part where she explains that she personally requested Imamura and the rest of the staff to lift her restriction on bikini and allow her to pose in gravure as soon as possible. The reason is that, this way, more people would have an opportunity to know about her. Can't hide my mixed feelings about it, I guess I have to say farewell to her bunka-kei character.
I don't blame her, next to Katomina she's probably got the best body in NGT and she obviously knows it too. And there's no point in articficially constraining your prospects if the gains are going to be bigger in terms of popularity than the loss in perceived image to a niche group of fans.
Thank you for sharing and translating! I too don't blame her when all her favorite idols (Sakura, Naachan and Yuihan) are doing it and have been doing it at a younger age. I also don't know why there's a ban when both Ogiyuka and Katomina started doing it at 16. It's an additional source of income, it isn't risqué, and she has the body for it.
Congrats to Hinatan ranked 13th place with 41,230 votes in 2017 SSK !!! she jumped right into Senbatsu !!!! https://mdpr.jp/music/detail/1694208
I just had to stop by this - this is iconic. Is there a mention, when the request was made? She was better in My Girl than Rika, so this was a very good move. I love it. Certainly more is going to follow! It was sunny in Okinawa after all!
OMG CONGRATS HINATAN AND CONGRATS TO MY FELLOW TEAM 321 I was already shook that she got into senbatsu, let alone 13th place Translation of Hinatan's speech by akbzine: https://akbzine.com/2017/06/18/homma-hinatas-2017-9th-senbastu-speech-english-subtitles/
Would you rather she becomes NGT48's center or part of AKB48's senbatsu? I'm so happy for Hinata. She'll get to be part of AKB48 senbatsu with great seniors Mayu and Sasshi before they graduate. She also gets to be with her beloved seniors Sakura, Naachan, Yuihan and Dasu! with Naachan from Hinatan's photolog
I wonder what is all that thing with picking just one of the two. Both come with their own opportunities, but there is no point in forgetting, that being a regular in AKB48's senbatsu is a step-up, so if for example Milky could do this, why not Hinata? It's better to get everything. I wonder why would Niigata get better songs, that's the same guy behind them, lol.
