Tano Yuka (Tanochan) / 12th Generation

"strictest" here is actually "strictest with (or hardest on) themselves".

 

That's good to know.

I'm pretty sure Tano-chan is also considered strict towards her juniors though, especially based on the little chat she had with Tomu at the 10th Anniversary stage for the 12th Generation. She and Hirari both talked about how they find it strange current seniors don't really scold younger members anymore.

On another note, I have looong overdue updates
August and September were full of performances of "Jamie." She posted lots of photos of herself in the costumes, but my favourites are these two in the prom outfit

She also appeared in Drop Tokyo a few times though. @David61 already posted from the 4th of October, but here is the 20th of August

While she was still busy with "Jamie," on the 15th of September she was announced as a cast member for the musical "Poupelle of Chimey Town." She played a character called Rebecca. The link to the ticket website won't let you buy tickets anymore as the musical was in November, but you can still see her listed as a cast member

On the 4th of October, she appeared in Drop Tokyo again. Please refer to the previous page and David's post ^^

On the 14th of November, "Poupelle of Chimney Town" started. Tano posted some pictures in her new costume

On the 24th of November, the official account for the musical uploaded a video of the performance for the song "Halloween in Chimney Town." Tano is wearing a mask, but you can hear her voice very clearly

For reference, this is her


On the 9th of December, AKB48 uploaded pretty much all coupling songs fully on Youtube. Tano shared her personal choice - it's Ikiru Koto

On the 16th of December, she had a photoshoot for Sixty Percent magazine. The theme of the photoshoot series is to display late night culture in Japan.

Earlier this month, Tano went out for sushi with former gen-mate Hirata Rina (Hirari) and they both absolutely devoured the food. Here are the post-binge eating photos

Tano-chan also voiced her congratulations for Yasuda Kana on two occasions - first was during the Fresh Concert on January 13th, because Kanabun performed the song "Mystery Line" - Tano was an original member for this song together with Matsui Jurina and Shiroma Miru. On top of that, Kanabun also specifically wore Tano's uniform. She had even texted Tano beforehand (according to Tano's tweet) to tell her about it. Second, she also congratulated Kanabun on her graduation announcement Apparently also in this scenario, Kanabun had consulted Tano over LINE to ask for advice, and Tano therefore knew about the graduation announcement already

New Drop Tokyo line

https://droptokyo.com/freshsnaps/ID/?id=303689

Tano will appear in TWO new stage plays in May and June! They're directed by the same people and have more or less the same cast. They're sort of connected. They're called "Boku no Major Spoon" and "Kagami no Kojou." Here's some links to articles about the upcoming musicals:

Nappos United: https://t.co/fb2Y1mUNSB

So far, we don't have any photos of Tano in costume, or as a promo for the play(s), but we have the official posters for both plays:

 

Tanochan will be appearing with Berin from Team 8 in a stage production of 'Peter Pan' at the Tokyo International Forum from 7/23 to 8/2:

Modelled for Chronoizm's new line

As mentioned in my post from February 26th, Tano will be part of a double-stage play. She is featured in the poster, which is below. She's wearing a school girl outfit:

Also, her pictures on YK Agent (her agency) have been updated. I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but I noticed her new profile picture yesterday. Might have been earlier than that, but here are her new photos. I think in the third one, she looks a lot like former soukantoku Yokoyama Yui
