Iriyama Anna (Annin) / 10th Generation

@Trinu They probably told her what she had to say in that video, that doesn´t mean she is able to understand it all. But she is improving, yes, I agree.

 

I want to give an update about Annin and LIKE drama. Pedro Damián, LIKE´s producer, answered to a fan who asked when Annin will appear and he said "next week" . Before, cast members Mauricio Abad,Ulises, and Víctor Varona, Silveiro, said she would appear between episodes 28-31 in a youtube live streaming they filmed.They also answered a fan but they weren´t so sure about the episodes (though Maurico seemed more convinced, that video was actually funny to watch). I trust better Pedro Damián´s sayings because he is in charge of everything.
And cast member, Carlos Said,León, posted on his twitter that the drama will change its schedule , it will air from Monday to Friday at 17:30 pm in Las Estrellas channel. Currently, the drama is airing at 18:30 pm (México´s time zone).


PD: the episodes in the main website are deleted 5 days after the release,wanted to advice this, just in case.

I really can´t wait for Annin to join the others in the drama, it will be great to watch her in LIKE .

I hope this gonna be translated because Annin talked about Iwate incident

 

here is a translation of the interview

Spoiler

Iriyama Anna
4 years from the attack

-During an AKB Handshake event a man climbed on stage
and stabbed me with a weapon that looked like a saw
with a cutter blade end,
i got injuries in my head, arm and right hand,
the show stopped and another member who also was attacked
and me ended up in the emergency room.

4 years from the attack
how do you feel?

-I have almost no traumas left
i don't get scared as much when someone startles me
i also don't get scared when there are stabbing scenes in theater,
but i do get sad and sometimes cry when i see something similar in the news
since it's something i can relate to and it can happen to any of us,
i still have some scars but i see them as part of my life.

Have you been in contact with Kawaei Rina?
-Yes, i'm still in touch with her, since before the attack we were already friends
but by going through the same problem together we've become even closer,
we sometimes talk about that incident, but i think we have overcome it

What did you do to get over the attack?
-At first i got scared when someone yelled at me or hear loud noises
i haven't done anything to get over that
but i've always have the support of my friends and other members
and that's what made me get over it.

Was it hard to get back on stage after that?
-Yes, i thought of not going back to the theater
since i'm always at the front (in performances, tv and shows)
i got many negative comments, that's why it was difficult.
for example, if i missed tv performances people told me to quit my job if i was only resting,
when i used a glove to cover my scars they asked when i was going to stop pretending

Who supported you the most?
-My Mom and my friend who also was attacked, because they were always close to me,
also my friends, the staff and the fans, i'm also thankful to the medics and nurses,
i also had the support of myself which was the most important, if i didn't have the will to move forward
i probably wouldn't be here.

Did the fans supported you?
-If i didn't had their support i wouldn't be here
i received many heartless comments but also many more warm ones
like "I will wait for you forever... don't push yourself" and that's how i was able to return to the stage

What would you say to people who are victims of these kind of attacks?
-Every injury and suffering is different, that's why it's not just about telling people to try hard.
since i was attacked by another person i would never hurt anybody and ruin their life,
that's why i live my life looking forward.
if you've ever been hurt like this i would like to tell you to be strong,
it's sometimes good to rely on other people,
i've been told to not talk about my attack but if i can be of help to somebody i would tell them anything,
i had an horrific experience, i went through some surgeries and faced the negative comments, but even so, i live a happy life,
don't pressure yourself, keep on with your life and be strong

 

I just watched LIKE´s episode from today and Annin will appear next week, keep watching LIKE if you can!!!!.
They just gave a very huge hint in episode 25,I´m excited!!!.
.
Remember it airs from Monday to Friday at 17:30 hs (Mexico time) in Las estrellas channel.

 

Just to set some records straight: I noticed there's a part in the subtitles, toward the end of the interview, which makes it seem like she's received orders not to speak about the incident, but in reality what Annin replied was:
"いつも必ず事件の話を聞かれる時「もし嫌だったら断っていいよ」と言われる"
"When I'm asked to speak about the incident, they would always tell me 'If you feel uncomfortable, you can just refuse to answer'"

...which is kind of a different thing. There are also other mistakes in the translation (omotebutai sometimes translated as "theater"), which are more negligible, but I'd like to point that one out because it's the one most susceptible to misunderstandings.

Annin just confirmed she will appear tomorrow in LIKE and she wrote that she is very excited!. FINALLY she will appear!.

EDIT: She updated and wrote that she made a mistake and is episode 26, but that we shouldn´t miss tomorrow´s episode anyways hahahaha .

EDIT: Annin appeared in LIKE´s episode 27. She looks SO pretty!!!!!!!. Can´t wait to see her interacting with the rest of the cast.

 

Anna looked so pretty. For what it looks like she is going to take awhile to start speaking spanish.
That red hair girl looks so annoying, idk her name. Machú saying 'ah a geisha' to Keiko it's weird.

 

Visiting eh.. Not return home... Annin is Mexican already.. Hehe..

 

I hope she stay in Japan , her Mexican colleagues are also in Japan and one of them tweeted "Friends, I'm struggling with consuming Japanese food... I feel like I'm eating dogs, rats and the likes... I wanted to tell you." https://twitter.com/alemullera
Annin saw the tweet and replied
Huh?? Japanese people don't eat that.

That b*** deleted the tweet but did not apologized for her comment.

 

The heck.. thats y i cant translate that tweet earlier when i saw it on my twitter feed.. becos delete already.. i bet Annin & her dont go well together..
No respect.. shame on her..

 

Actually that girl apologized.. on two differents twits, seems that people got more angrier that she believed.

 

If she apologize already, thats good for her.. But she should be more aware next time abt things like this..

 

Yeah she apologized to her fans not the Japanese people.

Friends, you don't have to take everything soooo seriously... it's just a saying! Sorry if I offended someone, I didn't mean to!
Relax a lot! Bye

Sorry, sorry! Love and peace friends.

There are a lot of comments supporting her that she has the right to express her opinion and no apology necessary to anybody.

 

That's a weak apology. She's not admitting that she said a wrong thing.
"Relax a lot!" it's like she's complaining about the responses.

She can say stupid things. In the same way people are allowed to complain and say they are wrong.

 

@Bingo @silentmary Yes, Ale said something very wrong, but I´m sure she apologized properly to Annin in private as well, they are still friends, Annin posted pictures with her. If Annin let that go, we should let it go too. Ale is not a mean person,I´m sure she regrets what she said.

Also I was wondering if someone is saving up the pictures and stories Annin posts on her IG, because I would love to save a lot of the pictures with her and the cast but I don´t know how to do it. If someone knows a fanaccount with that pictures, please, tell me. I love how all the cast is really friendly with Annin, the boys and the girls,they all love Annin, is so sweet.

PD: I absolutly love Keiko, Annin is really a good actress!!!.


@silentmary You are talking about Machu hahaha, yes, her character is annoying but the actress commented the other day in a picture that Annin posted. Is so cute that the actors actually have better friendship than in the drama, so sweet.

 

I doubt it, if she really sorry, she should apologize to the Japanese people as some of the comments posted by her fan pointed it out. "apologize to the Japanese people not to us"
Well, this is old news we should move on.

 

@Bingo We don´t know what they do in private life, so maybe she apologized to Annin. Her apology was general, I agree it should have been better, but well, is past already.

So to talk about other things, I really love how all the cast support Annin so much, they all write they love her,awwwwww.
