    I'm glad you noticed her! She's a great member to follow, even moreso recently.

    I translated her post about her rank! She really didn't expect to rank anymore when her turn came, so it was a big shock.

    I really hope she goes on to rank in the main thing! Because up until now she had troubled feelings about not contributing to HKT a lot, while she does now have a lot of solo stuff going on.

    Mostly ad campaigns, appearances related to her being more or less a regular for Nishinippon Bank, like:
    Cev-YZ8WQAA1RMC.jpg Cfgkw0NWwAInKA6.jpg Cfv97kcUAAAh9MU.jpg Cfv97kYUAAEPfo2.jpg

    Or at football matches with her parents, or for a Fukuoka-prefecture wide poster campaign in stores:

    And of course the JR campaign, which is with HKT.

    Tbh, I noticed her long before when she first came to AKBINGO, but was indifferent. Not sure why it changed recently in the LOD.
    Maybe it's her current hairstyle, her shocked expression, or something in between. Oh well...:^^;:
    (But, too bad I won't vote her in current SSK. My voting plans already laid and such)

    すごく悔しいです。
    It’s really frustraing.

    投票して下さったみなさんありがとうございました!!
    Thank you for every single one who voted for me!!


    After seeing her rank at prelims, I was really disappointed that she didn't end up ranking. It stings to see how close she was, but also I'm really happy to see that she does have so many fans and so many votes.

    Man, she's so close. Soooo cloosseee! At least it's good to know she's very, very close to breaking through. Good to see she taking it in good, positive spirit though. There's definitely next year and I really hope us fans got her the long-awaited ranking:)

    Reason : To continue studying on Univ at Tokyo.
    And as what she said "4年後にはまた別の形で皆さんの前に戻ってきたいと思います。" (I'll come back to everyone in 4 years later in a different way)
    No one knows what she mean about that.
    But I think as an entertainer whether local (as how her mom do) or national.

    Big loss for the group, a really special but unfortunately often ignored girl. I'm predicting a lot of the other 1st gens will be following suit this year as well. Glad she's taking her studies seriously at least.

    Looks like CMs are not enough for her... we lost another 48G tower. And another HKT48 1st gen and Team H graduation. Oh, and she's also in her final year of high school, right? Do you think she can follow her father's footsteps in the future?

    One of the other fans showed me the news during the AKB48 fan meeting in Hong Kong earlier today. I now know what it's like to feel excited about one thing and sad inside because of another thing at the same time.... Haruka is one of my favorites to watch in odekake.

    really sad to hear her graduation, I know from some people idol should be kinda shorty and cute. But I always love wakachan posture especially in chameleon joshikousei mv. But I really glad she graduate in pursuit of her education, I hope she'll be able to get into her choice of university.
