Mayu is OK, but Miichan looks like they [Vague staff] wanted to say she has nothing to offer as adult and remade her their way. That simply annoys me

Someone needs to be shot - I would not believe earlier, that Miichan can be made so ugly.

I won't call it ugly but the people responsible do deserve to be shot
The makeup, the hairstyle worn..all gone wrong on her
Why couldn't they use the same artist(s) that make Mayu looked good in that same event?

Miichan Kawaii!

[Kyuta-kun]

Did you all hear that she's leading the Automotive Club in AKB48? The first program where AKB girls can get their licenses! Which has never happened while in AKB48 before?

Also, here new drama Soup Curry aired in Japan recently. I hope someone DVR'd it.

Also, I love her daily blog posts. Makes me feel so close to her. I read them every day. I won't get into translating them here, but I WILL post one photo from her blog today and it is the most amazing thing ever.....

Miichan Kawaii!

BLOODY HELL! Go away, get out of my mind!

Edit: to make things worse, I will relay something from http://moderngirlsli...om/tagged/akb48 via S48...



...and this...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIICHAN!!

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Seems like she had her seitansai just over a few hours ago.

Watanabe Miyuki's photo with her suggests no, but everyone else seems to be celebrating her birthday now, which leads me to believe that her seitansai was held just now.

Anyhows, happy birthday to her.

stupid bump...

Can't be ignored... Shunkan Bunshun loves AKB48.

Well, truth, fake whatever... GENERATIONS just released a single, another idol group got nice sales recently, and what do you know all of a sudden... Welcome back Morning Musume, you are relevant again

If tabloids cared to present hard obvious facts instead everything would be so much easier.

Sadly I'm doing excactly what the tabloid wants me to do... spreading the news or the fake story...

[dkmy]

Even if its true I doubt she'll be punish for this. She's first gen. Aki-P loves them.

In 2nd link, the following seems interesting:

「大島優子や板野友美にも頻繁に異性関係のウワサは飛び交いますし、高橋みなみも渋谷のクラブで黒人男性との目撃情報があった。特に板野なんかはAKBメンバー以外の友達の方が圧倒的に多くて、ギャルモデル出身の武藤静香や、トリンドル玲奈といつもツルんでいる。これでは潔白なメンバーでなければ応援できないというファンは、9期以降の若い世代のメンバーに推し変したり、AKB以外のグループに流れたりという図式がいっそう加速する。いっそ、大々的に恋愛解禁して『私は●●さんとお付き合いしています！　それでも応援してくれますか？』とひとりひとり宣言させてファンに多数決で決めさせたらいいんじゃないですか。AKBの大好きなサプライズですよね」（芸能記者）

秋元康は先日出版された田原総一郎との対談本で、『恋愛禁止ルールを死守しなきゃいけない。でも、それが発覚したとき、ただ解雇する以外の方法はないのか』と模索していることを明かしている。「恋愛宣言」をするのも面白いかもしれないが、実現の可能性は低いだろう。現実的に、秋元才加が演出家の広井王子を自宅に泊めた時は、運営側は「不健全なことはなかった」としたが、峯岸の処分はどうなるのか。今回も「ただの友人で、悩み相談をしていた」とでも弁解するのか、それとも「鉄の掟」を破ったとして解雇、あるいは海外グループへ武者修行の旅に出すのか…。さすがにだんまりを決め込むことはないだろうが、いずれにしろファンの心中は穏やかではないだろう。

Which I don't really understand because Google Translate sucks. I mean the whole "Watashi wa XX san to ..." etc. and what is actually being said, if this is a just a thought from the magazine's side or if it's actually something legit being considered.

(Of course, News Livedoor like Cyzo and so on reports a lot of rumors and stuff like that so... )

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Don't do a Masuda if shit hits the fan, Minegishi.

Miichan has been demoted to KKS https://plus.google....sts/7KQ3DFXYpVz

[gryzze]

This is quite shocking.... but I'm happy that she decided to stay at least.

[dev-null]

This is brutal.

[kantutanTayo14]

I'm guessing a big deal was made because her name isn't Oshima Yuko
If it was Oshima Yuko both the idol & management will say and/or pretend "nothing happened, move along" & the whole incident will be swept under a rug

(not targeting Oshima per se, just sayin' it's one set of rules for 'untouchable' senbatsus, & another set for the rest)

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

Poor Miichan.
I wasn't a big fan of her. But I'm really sorry!
At least she stays in AKB48.

Spoiler

I know that we're not talking about Yuukachan here.
But I'm sure Yuukachan could do that too.

[dkmy]

Didn't see that coming. A first gen now a kks. Wow. I was hoping for a transfer or just a suspension.

[aira慶一郎]

^
ikr couldn't they just transfer her to another group like they did to rino

[Lady A]

Management was not left with much of a choice after she shaved her head without prior consultation. How are they supposed to promote an idol like that, in any group?

[Snipey]

Thats just ridiculous making her look like a joke by shaving her head, I understand that cultural aspect to it but wtf. This is just so stupid, I feel so bad for idols having to go through such things just for the fans, though it may have been her fault, a simple demotion would have been fine.
