if the video does not show watch the video here clip from her Aug 9 Showroom She was injured but still did her best to perform at TIF, I didn't even notice her performance was lacking! Translation by @yuiyuihan on X : Apparently she doesn't usually drink much water and the concert made her sweat a lot and got into injury due to that, so now she's drinking more. full Aug 9 showroom Spoiler if the video does not show watch the video here Translation by @yuiyuihan on X : https://twitter.com/yuiyuihan/status/1689243476347797505
oh wait this is very good Q&A Answers a lot of my niche questions about AKB I'll try to share with everyone here with some translation : Songs that raises the excitement in concert? Her safe choices are usually Ponyshu, Oogoe Diamond, Iiwake Maybe, Everyday Kachuusha Why many members use short tops (crop top?) that shows their waist as lesson clothes? (Maybe) Because the dance looks better with those! (the style) What was the first song you remember after entering AKB48? Keibetsu Shiteta Aijou, she was asked to cover for Oshima Yuko's position on National Tour. Do you ever thought of wanting to be a center? Of course. She once wanted to be first in sousenkyo. She was very happy with the double center during Green Flash. Of course even now she still wants to try to be center, but thinking about the current AKB, she feels like there's no benefit at all for her juniors if she stands as the center, so perhaps it's complicated. Has Senior-Junior relationship in AKB been more relaxed compared to the past? She feels so since there's no angry senpai anymore. Well she's the most senior after all. To be honest, were the AKBINGO punishment hard to do? She's mostly okay with everything except that she hated the ones that had her face drawn over since she was conscious about idol face during that time. Is it fine for a woman to attend theater show? I'm afraid I'll be overwhelmed by men. There is woman-only seats, but the seating are indeed pretty close to each other. Yukirin recommends the once-per-month Women-only theater shows. Among current members who are you closest with? Mion, Yuiri. Recently talks a lot with Hiichan/Naruchan. Not a question, but please make more stylish goods/merchandises. She agrees, some goods are kinda old-fashioned. Do you recently meet any graduated members? Yes, She often meet Miyazawa Sae, Yokoyama Yui (Yuihan) and Katayama Haruka Your favorite recent costume? Hisalip's pink and black costume Among AKB songs, what song do you feel cute, both in dance and the song? Yobisute Fantasy, Enkyori Poster, Nagiichi Comments related to romantic stuffs (nonchalantly) Pretty much there is no Love ban rule ya know.. On one day, how many costumes do you wear for photoset shooting? Recently she wore like 10 costumes, it took about 4-5 hours in total. What do you do with the Sousenkyo Trophies? She once moved and those are still neatly packed in boxes right now, unopened. Do you have time to sleep? You look busy. There are busy days and slow days. Goods/Merchandises or Handshake tickets? Which one makes you happier if it got sold out? Well both are important, but Handshake tickets are more important since it is an indicator of "selling well", and one reason why she still can be in AKB right now. She's very thankful for that. What is the biggest fight with members you ever had? She really doesn't fight with members, not even once. Once, Harugon got mad at her one-sidedly for having a lot of lines in songs. How many managers are there in AKB48? 19 managers What do you think of the dissolution of Teams? Of course she feels sad about it, since she has a lot of memories and she had been in TeamB since the start, but she looks forward to perform with members she rarely see because they were on different teams. Do you receive like base salary and personal bonus based on your activity? AKB48 has annual based pay system, but honestly why you receive certain amount is unknown even to her. Should fans always affirm their oshi's speech and conduct and not criticize/give their opinion? Personally for her just say it freely on twitter. She's not advocating for saying it directly like in handshake event, since she has seen some girls got crushed for taking it too seriously. She's sure the fan doesn't want that to happen. Idols are the ones thinking the most about their own image, after all. Birth of famous line : Fan is fan. Don't try to become producer! During Online Talk, is it true that fans' full real name is being displayed for members to see? YES, don't try to do bad things. She still remembers most of the fans' names even when it goes back to offline talk event, her memory is still good. Can you just change your image deliberately? In AKB, it's recently decided that if you want to cut, change or dye your hair, you must inform the manager. I heard the rehearsal videos for TV show performances are sent around via LINE nowadays, but how did you do it during flip phone time in the past? They burned the footage to CDs and played it on dressing room's TV. Also they used DVD players and printed on paper. KKS used to be required to buy DVD player with screen. Yukirin is amazed on how the times has changed. How is it recently? Is there any painful stuff recently? Almost none! She's so used to it already she has built a strong mental fortitude against badmouthing etc. An important skill, fit to be idol indeed!
I read "Harupyon" and thought "Yeah, that makes sense". ======================================================================================= Oh my God, what happened to Yukirin's mouth? Spoiler https://twitter.com/iamyuzuki_k2/status/1689618672103698433
