LOL .. Why did I created Lala thread?
I do not create a member thread unless I have substantial liking for a member

I don't really like how she look at the beginning. Now I think her profile pics didn't do her much justice..
It all started from Morning Mususme'15
I was watching MM performance on Music Japan on 23 August 2015 but SKE48 was there too ..
I always have strong feelings of SKE48 even though I have quit, so I watch their performance too.
I spotted a girl who have this "idolish" look with a really nice smile and emitting a lot of happiness in performance ..
So I screenshot her pic and ask my friend who is her. While waiting for his reply, I realize I know who she is .. She is Goto Rara, the 7th gen and the one who know English
I maybe very out with 48G but I still know a bit of news ..

Today, I met my friend who gave me his extra set of Limited version SKE48 single, Maenomeri. He didn't buy the extras for any bonus but purely for support ..
LOL .. we were all old H!P fans and we follow the school of thought that we support our idols with no reward or bonus
Anyway .. I was talking about Yamada Mizuho .. and I told him .. I may come back if I can find a girl who center the song "Escape", from a gen after 5th gen and from Team KII..
My friend told me there is no such girl ..
Escape was only done twice since Mizuho left ..
Saito Makiko center it for SKE48 Mihama Kayuusai Special Live 2015
and Goto Rara for TIF ..

Goto Rara actually met most of my criteria but anyway I like the "feel" she emit and she know English
So here is the deal .. I will give her the favor and see what happens
If she make Team KII .. it would be scary
But I think she give me a different feel as Mizuho but on stage, she give me the feeling of Takai Tsukina who was suppose to be my first SKE48 oshimen but she left before I started following SKE48
and Yagami Kumi, my first SKE48 oshimen .. so she look more of a Team S girl to me and I also have certain special songs in Team S I hope to see her do
I think I will be waiting for her promotion first .. Because I still hold my rule of not supporting trainees
The first possible time .. SKE48 7th Anniversary Concert which should be in early October

So we shall see
But people may have known .. I have a weakness for certain types of Aichi born idols

[randomrrr]

I rarely follow 48G now, but I've seen her once or twice. She's in the 2nd row in maenomeri or something iirc.

She's cute and I feel like she has this idolish presence about her

I may like her better than Ryouha lol

[Ares13]

LOL .. some catch up even though late

^ depends how you see it ..
Could be 1st or 2nd row

SKE48 後藤楽々 楽々のスイング☆ 2015.10.04

[Ares13]

Not sure what they are doing .. but looks pretty good

[Ares13]

Today 8 October 2015 is Rara first or debut as an under for SKE48 Team S 3rd stage ..
Anyway, Koi wo kataru shijin ni narenakute is one of those special 48G song that I love ..
I had wanted Rara to do it, so looks like I got my wish ..
Basically .. I know about today because my friend inform me because he know I really wanted to see Rara do Koi wo kataru shijin ni narenakute
I hope it would be on the tracker soon ..

[Ares13]

Got some Rara stuff


So with that .. ya .. I am back in 48G ..
Rara is my kami oshimen .. I will do everything for her ..
I know she is still a KKS .. I guess I really don't need to wait for her to get promoted ..
with the amount of push she has been getting .. I really don't expect her to just suddenly quit ..
So next year senbatsu election will all her for me .. even if her chance of getting a place is very small ..
But its her birthday wish .. I will work towards that

[Ares13]

LOL Rara speaking English to a fan during handshake event

[Ares13]

Nice pic of her

[Krusha]

That English video above is awesome!

[ShiningLight445]

All the reason to meet her It would be so easy lol and from the picture above she's so pretty too

[Ares13]

ok .. I don't understand Japanese
So I am just going by what my friend told me ..

http://ameblo.jp/ske...0091426468.html
Rara ask her fans to come up a name for themselves as in a name for Rara fans

http://ameblo.jp/ske...0091426468.html
She shortlist a few names from the fans comments
①らららー
②ららファミリー
③ららーず
④ららら隊
and names she like personally
「Lalabees」（ららびーず）
「Lalovers」（ららばーず）

http://ameblo.jp/ske...0091426468.html
The result is out today..

Total 171 votes

So .. if you are a Rara fan .. you are a Lalabees ..
The initial reasoning for the name is from Rara herself as fans are the bees gathering around her the flower ..

[Ares13]

LOL .. they open up 755 to overseas fans ..
and She is really nice

From her 755

[Krusha]

She's super awesome

[akaonisan]

How did she end up as the lead for the next single? It seemed to come out of nowhere. I'm really happy about it

[pink-ku]

@ares:

How is Rara's English?

[Ares13]

^ perfect
She is really good at it ..

I think she got a lot of foreign fans
When I was queuing for her 2shot, I saw a westerner in front of me and I talk to him .. he is from France ..we chat quite a bit while we wait for the ID check ..
Then as I was doing the ID check .. I saw the person doing the ID check behind me also put out a passport .. I also talk to him and he is from Thailand ..
come on .. what is the chance you have someone in front and behind of you to be both foreign fans

The French fan gave a load of advice .. he seem to be very into Rara .. he told me he got 20 Handshake tickets with her last year and he got 3 tickets each for each event 2 last weekend and 2 coming weekend I think
He told me about how to plan and what should I talk about with Rara .. but I still mess up ..
Alright .. I always mess up and become speechless when I meet my idols

Anyway .. He taught me not to use all 3 of my ticket at one go .. but I still did it because I was in a hurry and my wife is waiting for me ..
So the 1st post I ask for heart post .. the 2nd I ask her to suggest .. she suggested to do this love sign and explain to me it means love
then the last post she also ran out of ideas and suggest we do heart again .. I just accepted
OMG .. I couldn't say more to her because I am so stun and blur when I saw her ..
I couldn't even bring myself to say she look very cute because she wore glasses that day .. GG
I feel like slapping myself silly .. >.<

Overall .. it feels very weird that I for once do not have to struggle because I do not understand Japanese ..
But stupid me ..still say the same thing to her like all the other idols I meet by keeping things short and simple ..
I just dunno how to feel ... She feels more like an American Asian girl than a Japanese girl ..
I guess she ain't the cute sweet idol charm type
But .. it would be weird if she is .. so I think she will do ..

ps. I think her popularity is ok .. there is a long enough queue but far from those elite popular members of course ..
But anyway .. they place her according to the bidding so she is still classify under KKS .. and its really sad that the other SKE48 KKS 7th gen girls has almost no one in their queue ..

[Krusha]

While I would visit Rara if I went to a SKE HS event, I would also visit Ayamero and Oochan, so that's at least two kenkyuusei girls. Fans need to open up their eyes for lesser known girls too, and not only go for senbatsu members...

[Ares13]

This is a combine of 3 very short video she posted on her 755 recently


I am not sure, I think these are her individual shot on "Gravure The Television"
