[Ares13]

"Senkou Hanabi" ranked at #9 w/ 1,697 copies sold on Oricon:

Loverin also sold 777 copies (that weren't counted on Oricon) for the release event, so total known sales are 2,474.
 
"Senkou Hanabi" is now the best selling photobook released from a current member of Hello! Project!

LOL .. I think she sold much more than these ..
I think at least I know e-LineUP!mall and H!P shop does not count in Oricon too and these shops give pretty good bonus
So I am sure she sold much more than these number

anyway ..
For this PB .. I think Wani is only involve in the sales and distribution ..
So it is not a hard cover PB typical of Wani ..
So I hope that she get a full hard cover PB from Wani and she get to go another country, maybe Hawaii, Guam or my country for her next PB

Twitter says Loverin got all of Syau's parts in Fantasy ga Hajimaru!

 

She didn't get a solo or unit performance, but center in Fantasy ga Hajimaru is enough for me. I'm soooo happy!!! 

it's practically a solo song tbh, lol.

^ wow thanks for the updates

[GetRapper]

Wow, this girl is gorgeous!  She is slowly, but surely moving up on my MM rankings!

[I am 10th]

Just watched the prank on them years ago, I think she was cuter before. I love her bulky jaw and chin when she was younger. She's gorgeous now tho. 

 

Is Maria half japanese - half something?

[ceferquin]

^ As far as I know, the only halfie in all H!P is her best friend, Rikako, who is half-Filipino.

[I am 10th]

Oohhh interesting, coincidentally, I was thinking if Maria is half-Filipino. I had a half-Filipino classmate before whose name is also Maria, she's half japanese as well. 

[Satur]

 Surely you know other half-filipino, the beautiful AKB Sayaka Akimoto.

Maria´s latest photoshoot on Weekly Young Magazine.

[Ares13]

^ wow .. that's nice
Just wondering and I didn't want to post on both their thread ..
Besides the cover, is there any more pics with both Maria and Chiichan?

[ceferquin]

^ I do not think so... the two only appear together in a group photo.

 

and two pics added to the official Young Magazine web site.

[tsubakisaikou]

Wow, she looks amazing! I'm so jealous of her figure. I was watching GRADATION last night and it made me realize how much Maria has developed in terms of personality and stage presence. I'd love for her to center in a song again (although some might disagree). I really enjoy her dancing in Sou Janai!

[ceferquin]

^ I totally agree.

 

BTW she is the cover girl of Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine.

[waifusayu]

Oohhh interesting, coincidentally, I was thinking if Maria is half-Filipino. I had a half-Filipino classmate before whose name is also Maria, she's half japanese as well. 

 

 

I saw an interview were Maria said she want to visit the Philippines with her parents to go on diving. Maybe Rikako influenced her or something.
