YAMASHITA EMIRI Team: KKS Generation: 3rd Name: Yamashita Emiri (山下 エミリー) Nickname: Emily (エミリー) Birthdate: December 19th, 1998 Birthplace: Fukuoka Height: 159cm
"Emiri" is a relatively common name in Japan (and if it was written in Kanji I'd have romanized it that way), but hers is written in Katakana. That suggests she's a halfie.
^ Very good! I can't tell from this photo how cute she is actually. I need more real life content for that. I don't think her name Emiri is that cute tho. Emichan is more like that. >.</
There is a Google+ account with the name Yamashita Emily with an address in the Phillipines apparently. People on 2ch were talking about her possibly being part Filipino but we don't have any confirmation that she is anything but full-Japanese But goodness she's so cute!
She could be American-born (or English-born or Australian-born or whatever...). This is really interesting. I hope she speaks English, then we'll have 3 girls in AKB who can! [clap]
^Sorry for my ignorance >___< I didn't know the right spelling, thank you for correcting me. No need to spit coffee D:
No, I mean, I was astonished by the possibility of her being... Wow, Okaro's successor. Need more information. -------- This might be the G+ account 2ch was talking about: https://plus.google.com/104306726795591028495/posts
Oh I see, sorry for misunderstanding! ^__^ And yes, that is the G+ account that was being discussed on 2ch We don't have any confirmation yet that she's half anything, of course, but I agree that she is very pretty ^__^ Does anyone know when the 3rd gen will be performing next?
Me too! Halfies know the way to my haato. xD As for that g+ account, there is really nothing on it. The idols of the future are supposed to post moar than this!
Graduated Team H member, Airi Taniguchi, is a half too, I believe. Too bad I started following HKT48 only after she left. Looking forward to Emily the most among the third generation members.
She looks cute in her profile pic! I'll have to search for more pictures to start recognizing her, I declare my love for halfies too, and her name rocks!
I don't know if her debut will also be her birthday stage but she's turning 15 in two weeks! They already have a T-shirt made up too. I'm curious as to how they will deal with that. Also, here are her first theatre pics. Cute smile indeed.
sasshi was confirming that she is really a halfie during last night odekake, what does blood she has instead of japanese?
Well, now I'm betting on Filipino. Cause of the G+ and all. Let's see if something comes out tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it regardless though.
