that's a good catch considering there's a thread in general forum that members are debating to the death about this selection. at first, I thought Riripon ranked last year considering she centered an NMB single, but nope her push just started last year.
Sasshi: Today Matsuoka approached me grinning and said "I had a swimsuit photoshoot recently~~" and showed me photos. And I thought... What is this feeling, who she resembles so much?.. Milky! Hana has a fisher talent for sure... Inborn... https://twitter.com/345__chan/status/730057274920554496

^ seeing above avatar reminded me of something. Support this girl, whoever your oshi in HKT is. It's always a stupid things to act negative on the airdropped girls, whatever your argument is.
From the BaitoAKB stage in 2014 to here! Today I remembered her individual dance audition video for the draft, where AKB's dance teacher started to cry bc she had seen her never give up working towards her dream of one day becoming a full member. Quite the journey. She'll probably have a ton of pressure, but I think she'll do well. (Also a public SNS account would be quite welcome right now)
That girl is Ogino Yuka, not Hanachan. Yuka was a 15th gen tentative trainee, then Baito AKB, then draft gen 2, now in NGT48. BTW, congrats Hanachan. She is one of my favourite Baito AKB members.
Yeah it got jumbled up in my mind, but nice nonetheless! Here's something that Sakura posted on her 755:
I looked at all the photos, but I didn't even notice lol. Like Okada Nana's tooth, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit uncomfortable.
I'm excited for the new song!! Can't wait to see HA-na-chan as center~ Maybe she's wearing a "flipper" like pageant girls in the U.S wear when their teeth are growing in...
@Hiyo-P I actually thought about that after seeing more pictures of her. The "new" tooth seems to be whiter than the other, so perhaps a flipper... It does make her smile more harmonic, so I like it! Although the Japanese seem to consider yaeba a charm point I guess, so I wonder what motivated her to make the change!
