They found a super rookie in the audition for 2gen members of HKT48. On 23th, after the final screening of the audition, 34 girls has been selected for tentative candidate for HTK48(‘s KKS). That super rookie was among of them. 7th grader girl from Fukuoka-city, her name is Tashima Meru (田島芽瑠, 12 y/o).
“She is the second coming of Matsui Jurina. Finally we see the coming of next generation’s center.”, Mr. Akimoto sent her the greatest compliment not only as a member for HKT but wholeAKB project.

She sung Waratteitainda by Ikimonogakari for the singing screening for the audition. “I want to be a sunflower. Even though I can’t become theSun (:center position), Sunflower blooming to the Sun. And some day, I want to become the Sun for someone.” Her strong appeal-message captured our hearts.
Judges unanimously praised her, saying “She has an aura.” Mr. Akimoto, who has seen countless of idol-wannabe girls raved about her, “Her smile as she is talking after finished singing tells she is an inborn idol.” He stated he got as huge impact from Tashima as he got from Jurina in 2008.
Tashima-san reads more than 20 books a month, serving as a reporter for local newspaper.
“I want to become an idol like Oshima Yuko-san who can make everyone smile.” “I’m so surprised with the fact that I passed the audition. First of all, I need to be recognized by fans, then I aim to catch up with Sashihara-san and senior members.”, Tashima-san expressed her wishes.

I'm going to be honest she belongs more in HKT48 and Family48 then she would have in MM and H!P. She seems happy too.
She's really is a cutie and draws you to her in to her. Which is very good considering she is in such a large group.

[CucaKarinFan]

Yaaaaay my TASHIMA MADE ITTTT!!! Yaaay Daisuki desuuu Meruruuuu!!!

[becharm]

I think people are mistaking - she DIDN'T DROP OUT - she didn't make it to the finalist for whatever reason that is. as it was stated that only 8 people made to the last round

[Krusha]

Yes, that's right. She didn't leave, it was Tsunku etc. that didn't pick her.

I saw many of the reactions on Japanese boards to her inclusion as a 2nd gen in HKT48 - of course lots of congratulations and such, and general thoughts about the new generation - but there was a fair share of "I really wonder what Tsunku was thinking..."

She's gotten a lot of praise from Akimoto, and so far the little she has shown in media and from a couple song performances, she seems to have something extra. It's quite early still though, but looking forward to see how she will develop.

[goratnik]

TV appearance together with Tomonaga; looking at upper right corner - something related to Hawks?

[dev-null]

Hmm....
Does she do some kind of Rola routine?

Her random poses in the middle when she speaks/ it's her turn are a bit odd, unless that's some kind of HP heritage skill — no idea if Tsunku teaches his idols such things.

/edit
I'm not referring to the video in the above post (more like to her current appearances on Korekara and HaKaTa Hyakkaten), so just a general question.

I need to start watching AKBINGO again

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

With her new HKT look, I really start to like her.

[LovelyPrincessP]

I've been obsessed with this girl lately. So young, charismatic and full of potential. And now as HKT's center and the "ace" of her generation, I think it's pretty safe to call her the biggest MM finalist-that-got-cut success story since Yukirin.




Complete natural on stage, unbelievable she's only a RS that's been in this group a mere few months. I think she's going to end up in my oshi club.

[HappySensation]

I was so surprised when I found out she was Meru from the auditions, really goes to show what a difference an AKB makeover makes She was always cute but didn't really stand out to me in the auditions, but I'm glad she's in HKT cause it looks like she's gonna go far, being pushed in Hatsukoi Butterfly over Sakura-tan and Haruppi.

[あーりん]

Wow meru looks so cute!!!!! I cant believe she made it into HKT...wait did you say shes the center???

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Belated happy birthday to her.
She has her own Google+ account now, so get spamming lol.

[Krusha]

あーりん,

In HKT48's PV found on AKB48's 29th single, Meru pretty much holds center position yes. We'll see if this continues for other songs and performances though.

[pink-ku]

whoa last post Jan, lets bump up.

 

I like her more and more, I see the leadership quality in her from her g+ postings. Talks about the team, promotes the team, cares about other members.
