Here's the translation of that Interview, Dejure posted. Hope I got everything right! On Tumblr: Post It was a lot of fun doing this, Saechan is too cute!!
This was so cute... about 5 long Eeeeeh's, not really a surprise coming from her, and Sasshi's messing around lol. Didn't expect it to be this fun of a read. Thanks for the translation! Speaking of translations, here are the latest G+ posts: Spoiler: 07/09 15:09 Hello ( *・ω・)ノ Thanks for coming to the handshake event!

Me, Jiina and Mao will be featured in "First selected members" The first swimsuit shoot for the 3 of us! Please take a look at it \(^_^)/ OyasuminaSae ☆ミ As for her photoshoot, we already have one page (as shown on the previous thread page). And Jiina's solo one has also appeared today so I guess it's just a matter of time! Oh and she'll be attending Eretan's seitansai on the 12th!
Translated some recent posts of her, one is long & nice about the recent 3rd gen birthdays of Mikurin and Eretan, the other one about her day off: Spoiler: 12/09/14 - 22:33 - Birthdays 12/09 - 22:33 Good evening ( *・ω・)ノ The Pajama Drive performance is over! Today was Sakamoto Erena-chan’s seitansai, she turned 14! Happy Birthday! Me and Misaki were the moderators for the celebration! It was the first time for both of us so I wonder how we did.. But Eretan was very happy so I am too /// And at the end she even cried a bit, too cute. I almost joined her, but I was successful at fighting back the tears (°ω°) Such is the life of someone who easily cries at stuff like this. Lol. It had been a while since my last Pajama Drive. So I was a bit nervous but it had a lot of fun ♪ Thanks to everyone who came to the theater or watched on DMM. \(^_^)/ And today was Tanaka Miku’s birthday as well! Happy Birthday Mikurin. The adultlike Mikurin. It’s not a fake persona you know. Lol But she likes to be spoiled like a kid once in a while. (。>ω<。) Cuute~// At the time of the audition we were constantly talking to eachother. And during the first lessons we were always practicing in a pair. We made a lot of memories together, and I hope we continue to do that in the future ☆ Ah the post became a bit long… Once again, congratulations to both~ Comments: Kurihara Sae: That’s right! Today I delivered the solo line in “Inochi no tsukaimichi” for the first time. ☆ Sakamoto Erena: Moderating for the first time is pretty difficult right m(。≧Д≦。)m Thank you♪ I’m happy. (^O^) Kurihara Sae: Relieved //// Spoiler: 13/09/14 - 21:47 13/09 - 21:47 Good evening ( *・ω・)ノ I had a slow, relaxing day today~ My family and I went to eat. I had my favorite dessert, crème brûlée. //// I charged up a lot of power today, so tomorrow I can work hard \(^ω^)/ But I mainly was busy with this! Her translated BOMB gravure page: (Click for HD) I also had a look at her schedule and it seems like she has some stuff coming up! 19th Sept: AKB newspaper interview with Mao, Jiina, Haruppi and Sakuchan 24th Sept: Girl Pop magazine interview with Mao, Jiina and Kanon 24th Sept: B.L.T. with the senbatsu 30th Sept: ENTAME gravure with Mao and Jiina again And today she filmed an Variety48 Episode with Haruppi, Mao and Jiina! Haruppi said that she cried a bit during the show lol, I wonder what it's going to be. (No air dat yet)
If you haven't seen the most recent Shakariki48 episode, go check it out now! Its the most I've heard Sae talk
It really was great! She could've worked at any other place because the interactions with the other part-timer was the main highlight of the episode for me. She talked a lot and very freely as well but above that she was kinda teasing the guy LOL. I never imagined her to do something like that, so this episode made me discover a new side of her, one that I really like. Must watch for anyone who like Sae at least somewhat. (Btw it's episode 18 on 141031!) If you don't know what was going on exactly, I'll translate some scenes here: Spoiler: Episode spoilers He says that's he's been studying to sing. Afterwards Sae asks what kind of music, he answers RnB, like "Chemistry". Sae apparently doesn't know the band. Then Sae asks "Well, won't you sing a bit then?" and he's taken off guard and gets embarrassed. Sae says if Then if I sing, will you sing something as well? He realises he isn't getting out of this. But first a CM lol Then he sings (quite well) And gets very embarrassed afterwards while Sae claps. Then he's done stamping and goes to the backroom where all his coworkers say that they couldn't stop laughing at him lol Then it goes to a scene where she is handing over skates to kids (very cute), when one asks her. "Who are you?" Sae: "What do you think?/Who could I be?" The girl answers with the question that she's his girlfriend. Before answering she looks to the guy for a second. Calmly says no. If it was me in his place I would have surely melted on the spot lol. I don't post all my G+ translations here anymore (at least for now) so if you're wondering where they went check my tumblr.
^ Whoa... that was like a scene from a romantic comedy J-drama or something... especially with the kids asking the awkward boyfriend/girlfriend question in front of the non-couple. Also... Saechan is really kinda super pretty when she laugh smiles.
Sae is having a great momemtum; once again she has done a photoshoot for UTB. Coming 22 december. Because it was a solo photoshoot, she said she was a little bit nervous, but the staff were fun and friendly, so everything went smoothly. Here's an offshot. Looks like a normal seifuku, but maybe something more surprising for the release
^ Even in that simple picture she already looks beautiful. I think she'll be in senbatsu again for the 5th single. Wonder if they'll promote her now or keep her as KKS for a long time like the 2nd Gen....
Well there's no longer a limit on how many members a team can have right? They could have teams with more than 20 members if they wanted to.
I'm gonna add this little offshot Sae's visibility in gravure, will it give her an edge for Sousenkyo? I hope so
She has been getting quite some shoots! The ones I know of are: Recent UTB (I have this and took some photos) The one that was linked above One for Shukan PB (idk when) One with Emily (idk when either) One with Mao in ExTaishu to be released on Feb 14th (taken just yesterday) So yeah a lot lol. Talking about Request hour, she has been in Yossha HKT, Oboete Kudasai and was a backdancer for Sakura's solo: I am still wondering when Watashi wa Blueberry Pie will rank. There was a voting campaign for it with Sae & Mirun fans, and I think Pchan & Rikopi fans as well so we'll see. Otherwise the main thing she's improving in is being more spontaneous and interactive during MC, here's a recent one I liked. She talks about how she really dislikes bananas, even their smell and how Mao, Jiina and Pchan were eating them around her. A bit later Emily (who has really improved in MC by the way) asks Okapan if the other third gens over there are the ugly ones in response to Okapan saying that Emily is pretty.
So Sae's been getting a lot more gravure work lately, not what I look for in an idol but will certainly attract attention .... Anyways, in one page of Sae's gravure shoots, there was a picture of Sasshi Udon but I don't watch Goboten so it would be great if someone knew what episode Sae appeared in so I can go look for it
Yeah she has, on top of the ones I listed above she's gotten one with Chiichan and one still coming up next week in a magazine called "smart" which I expect to be more floral, going by the offshot. All of the ones that got scanned are in the Sae gallery, or the HKT gallery. The ExTaishu one only has the preview shots and didn't get scanned. The one I thought would be with Emily ended up being the competition I think, of which Sae's entry form got translated. On your question, I posted about this when it first came out. It's from Ep.19 141004, she's in the small SasshiUdon segment at the end. Sasshi basically recommended show off her boobs lol. Which the magazine quoted in the description. Other stuff she's been in recently is Odekake Ep. 102-104 and this Blueberry Pie performance on AKBSHOW: if the video does not show watch the video here In Hokamina ep 20: Next week she will be in the next Odekake and in Hyakkaten! Some other stuff: Translated mobame (1 & 2) where this comes from Handshake report
