Shimada Haruka (Haruu) / 9th Generation

well, maybe someone wants to contribute that last 20k

 

Someone did.

2,013,000円

 

The website is showing 2,493,000円 with 17 days to go.

 

If you consider the initial goal, the Olympics and the subsequent floods in Kyushu that's imho a really good result

 

She will be on a tv special on Daiichi tv on Tuesday, September 14.

and almost 3 million yen raised ...

 

@dutchie She needs your help. She has started taking programming classes.

"Can a former idol do programming !?
Seriously move to survive in modern society.

Now is the IT era."

I'm pretty sure she can do anything

 

She reached 3 million with time still left on the clock!

 

Story in Encount about reaching her goal.

"Former AKB48's Haruka Shimada launched the crowdfunding "Atami City Heavy Rain and Sediment Disaster Reconstruction Assistance Project" on August 1st, and the total amount of assistance was 3,331,000 yen. The number of contributors was 415 who reached 333% of the target amount of 1 million yen."

Of interest, former NMB48 member Kusaka Konomi had lived in Atami City for a short time and also contributed.

"Konomi Kusaka, who graduated from NMB48 in 2019, also participated in the project. On the 6th of this month, she revealed on the same site that she had lived in Atami City for about 3 months as a part-time job after graduating from NMB48. "I am very grateful to Shimada for participating this time."

More about her on the site:

Update: I just received an email from Makuake telling me that Haruu had posted a progress report.

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported us.




I would like to continue to convey the situation of the disaster area.


Thank you to everyone who supported us and for your cooperation in this project.

As I have said many times, it will take some time for reconstruction, but
I will continue to move because of Atami, where I was born and raised.


It's been a difficult time in Corona, but I'd be happy if you could come to Atami when you're calm."

if you're fast I think you can join Haruu as she's learning to program

====================
@ZeroPlus_Japan
In collaboration with, I will challenge programming for a month! I'm only worried, but I'll do my best! As a collaboration project, a limited number of 20 people can start studying together. You can easily apply on the official LINE
------------------------------------

I would apply ... if it wasn't for two reasons:

1. I don't think my Japanese is even close to being sufficient and I doubt they'll take English speakers
   
2. I already kinda know how to program .... in a variety of languages, as that's what I do to earn a living (and it would be dumb to take up a space which someone else might really need)

(I'm better at learning a new programming language then I am at learning Japanese, that's for sure

(but if she needs some tutoring ... in English ... she's free to drop me a line )

Spoiler

after looking at the course material it's mainly webdesign.
so HTML, CSS and JavaScript and WordPress.
Only 4 lessons are JavaScript ... so the programming part is fairly basic.

But it would give Haruu the skills to make a decent website for het parents' Ryokan

 

Haaru isn't all that active on Instagram, so these are a nice treat


She also shared some pics about the ongoing Atami flood relief operation she's still actively involved in, they received donations from several companies

 

But she still deserves a break.

"I was able to fully enjoy nature and get refreshed."

Let me come out and say that 666.200 yen as a fee is just shy of highway robbery .... but Haruu had a great result nonetheless

 

A 20% fee off the top is highway robbery!
