    Throwing out some Hirari props. Had her first B5 performance at the end of September.

    Just watched it - she was fun as usual, and the other members had some fun with her English-speaking ability.

    [clap]

    Need to bump the Hirari thread - she really is too awesome to be sitting at the bottom of page 2 beneath all the 13th gen members. :lol:

    - Started watching AKB48 Magazine DVD with the Janken tournament. Hirari's round was nerve-wracking, there was like 7 rounds between her and Aaya before she lost. I felt so bad because you could see how stressful it was!

    - When I went to the AKB48 Cafe in December - Hirari's message is one of those posted right in the entrance.

    - If you are Google+ fan - Hirari is posting pretty frequently - complete with video! https://plus.google.com/106758056094193397775/posts

    Go Hirari!!!

    Two vids in a row yesterday, to be exact. I will probably need to dive back to December for HKT posts in AKB Heyakko, so I'll collect Rina's stuff by way, too. So good it is!



    Few random examples, not necessareally those better.

    She has been posting vids of how to say things in english to the G+ account. Cool stuff, it's funny when she can't think how to say something in Japanese, I really like her. Hope she does well.

    I kind of want her in T4, but I guess the current KKS that do T4 will get priority.

    Rina's speaking English in this excerpt of Talk Asia with Aki-P, currently airing on CNN Japan.

    was just posting to say how good her accent is on G+ but clearly I've been beaten to it. So she can actually speak English properly.. (CNN Vid)

    Me = Instant-fan.

    just reporting that Hillary has Tomochin's part in K6.

    :fear:

    also people were talking about her English. It's really good because she was born in America and her family moved back to Japan recently xP

    Was she actually born in the US or just moved there at a young age? Just wondering as her official profile has her birthplace as Fukuoka Prefecture.

    Re: Hirata Rina / 12th Generation

    She moved there when she was young. I read she only moved back to Japan because she got a KKS spot, but I don't know how true that is. Like as been probably said already, because she was raised in America, she thinks in English and thus is actually learning Japanese (or at least improving her Japanese) while being a KKS.) She asks people not too write too many Kanji on comments because she can't read them for example.

    Yeah, I think it's really cute when she makes mistakes with her Japanese. I do that all the time too LOL I know what you mean about thinking in english and translating, I am ok with some things, but others I still need to do that too.

    I saw her in a KKS show and during the MC the other members we telling her to speak in english if she didn't know the japanese LOL

    Also noticed in her posts the lack of Kanji, makes it hard to read at times, but Kanji is horrible, so I understand that LOL

    She is my favourite KKS, I really enjoy her G+ post and want to see more things with her in. Does anybody have any recommendations for shows etc? Thanks in advance :)

    Only stages... CNN once, as 48s needed anyone to speak to gaijin reporter [hehe]

    Too young to have many appearances, but in case of global expansion she might be a secret weapon.

    Re: Hirata Rina / 12th Generation

    she's been on Ariyoshi a few times. and as to her birthplace it's not very clear since in magazines it's been reported 'アメリカに生まれた (born in America)' etc.

    Her 30second English Lessons have made her kind of notorious and apparently she's a 'handshake event monster' so I'm really excited to see what might happen for her ;A;

    Yeah, apparently she has a lot of appeal at handshake events and waves at people and practices dancing and stuff instead of looking forlorn like some of the other girls do xP
