Miyawaki Sakura (Sakura) / 1st Generation

^ Just stay here
I don't venture into the main PD48 thread anymore and I think it will become even more toxic after tonight (if all goes to plan that is )

==========================

Sakura finally updated her Twitter after so long !

Not long to go. Hoping for a Hotaru couple (Sakura-Chaeyeon) top 2 finish

They were front and center when it all started 4 months ago (refer Nekkoya MV) and here's to being front and center when it ends

<and the pipedream will be complete if our Juri-chan makes the 12 too>

Sakura got 2nd in the Final Top 12 for PRODUCE48.

 

It was a good run for a non-Japanese voting population. Still very proud and happy for her!

 

I'm so happy for her. She looked really satisfied with her rank (and Chaeyeon's ) so I'm ok with it too.

Congrats saku! And well done to the sakura k-fans voters! They really went all out with the voting, the prizes and everything else throughout the entire produce 48 series. Sakura always felt assured (and us too) that she had enough support to challenge for the top spots in all the elimination episodes. In the end, only she and wonyoung were always in the top 12 (eunbi almost with exception of week 1). She should eat something from her food truck and maybe ask for the meat that was being offered as a prize. She deserves a good rest.

Number 1 would have been great but being Number 2 spares her and maybe the debut group from a lot of hate and negative criticism. Almost equally glad that her hkt-mate nako is going to be there with her. She's gotten close to hyewon too but with chaeyeon, she has a personal dance trainer that will help her during the 2.5 years. And her other nomu nomu teammates minju and eunbi are also around.

She will debut with Chaeyeon
#2 is amazing, so proud of her. After all, she doesnt speak Korean so a Korean center will benefit the group

Here's a fancam of Sakura during the rank 12 reveal. See for yourselves how badly Sakura wanted Chaeyeon to make it.

 

Seeing that shes not even praying for her own rank, I bet she would trade her 1st rank to any as long as they debut together, Chaeyeon are the most supportive trainee for her, I believe she would learn a lot from an amazing talent like Chaeyeon.

I knew Chaeyeon because of Sixteen, is really great she was finally able to debut. Is adorable the friendship she has with Sakura, they are so sweet.

 

people who speak about the contract was only over reacting about the condition. we dont know the contract details yet rn. but FYI , i dont think she need to cease her HKT/AKB in full 2.5 years/1.5 years. sure there's probability with 3 AKB Singles + 2 HKT Singles each year , maybe she reduced her HS activities. but we know saku were too big for aks "letting" her go.

every little person which talk she should focused on korea activities , pretty sure they were never went to HKT / AKB Events , talking in 48G perception , it will become big loss and doomed HKT itself if she cease all her activities here. without putting down the rest of HKT members itself , talking the truth , saku camps were the largest among the other after all.

its ok , those kpop (international) fans were only torrent leecher , youtube spammer , they're the loudest but they're comin from the section who didnt have any contribution to the group itself.

nah , people who doesnt understand HS , they're likely undervalues the effect from HS events itself. dont forget 48&46 Franchise were the biggest idol group in japan , HS were their 'special' gimmick to maintain success for more than 10 years , and as you said above while the previous group turn out to be flop at the end , what should they do to avoid this ? of course maintaining Japan activities , so it will still had "good" values in front of japan audiences.

people were too naive , think this kind of survival show were should be the place for the unpopular/washed up/leftover girls to revived their career. come on , music is business , its very obvious from the start it was mnet which need saku for appeal in front of japanesse audiences and not saku need them too much to help her career. well said , we know nobody in japan would buy their album if the "center" girl was takeuchi miyu instead of saku right ? lmfao.

i wouldnt say its not benefit her for anything in the futures , but i dont think the girls already know from the start about the contracts , about the exclusive things , maybe its only mnet who was whistleblowing it for testing the water , maybe they want to know how the japanese fan reaction if the girls had exclusive contracts.

both Mnet-AKS-Saku were need each other , im pretty sure they can find win-win solution for each respective fans. if they put down one other side , we'll definitely know that the group will flop in that side (Japan/Korea)

i dont want to jinx it , but im still very positives that the contract were not turn as bad as people predicting in here , and saku which i know were smart girl who genuinely love HKT so much.

but if i'm wrong , i would only say goodluck for her in the futures , hope it would be worth to "letting" old fans go for the new one. anw oshimashii features availables for the event goers

 

Sakura seems really happy and comfortable as of late. I think doing well on PD48 has considerably improved her confidence. And not being chosen as center is probably a huge weight off her shoulders. She should be able to enjoy her IZONE promotions without carrying all that responsibility as center. And I’m so glad she and Chaeyeon will get to promote together. Their friendship is really cute.

I’m not too worried about the contracts. Aki-P is a businessman after all. He has the big picture in mind. There’s no way he would allow a clause or stipulation to jeapordize any members’ success back home. And there’s no use arguing over something that none of us has any control over. I’m just gonna roll with the flow and continue supporting my faves in all their activities.

 

I predicted that's going to happen a long time ago.
Back in May 10
