Re: KKS - Tani Marika Not gonna lie. I am kind of envious right now. [speechless] You lucky son of a gun. @Tumblewush I would be comfortable seeing her have a Sae-level of popularity. You know, Oshi of many and beloved by just about everybody... fans , management, members, media types, random people on the street. And completely agree on the fact funny-girls are oh-so-attractive. This is fricken great. She is so... active... in such a short time. It's gotta leave an impression on those at the handshake. @DreamingPebbles Thanks for the vids. [clap] [hi5] Tani and Shiichan! [shock] [rock] This is a very interesting combi. I likey.
Re: KKS - Tani Marika Oita seens to be a really nice place to live... lol they have a wota mayor and in sousenkyo day the city has a free weekend!
Re: KKS - Tani Marika so I saw this funny interaction between Wakatabe Haruka and Tani on google+ and decided to translate it and post it here for anyone who missed it/is interested in it: Wakatabe Haruka&Tani Marika 2013.08.11 22:47 Spoiler Wakatabe Haruka’s original post: You see, the other day, I looked at the “G the Television” that went on sale, and then right Sakura was cute, Aoi was cute, Okapan was cute, ok so till here everything is as usual right? ……Tani was also cute(°д°)! She had a great style, fair skin, and was really beautiful. Just seeing that gravure shoot would probably be enough to become an Oshi of her(*◑З◑) Well, knowing the usual Tani, that sure was something。lol All the members praised her a lot(((o(゚▽゚)o))) Or is it all just an optical illusion?lol __________________________________________________ Tani Marika’s response: Wakatabe-shan!!her post!!! Mumumumu!!!!! Great style、、、 Fair skin、、、!? Beau、、、、、 Tani is beautiful!!!!!!!!???! (゜□゜)♥ What a compliment、、!!! By no means was it an optical illusion, it’s nothing of the like !!(trembling voice) It was my first time wearing a swim suit like that and I was unbelievably nervous、 it was a really great experience I made!! Definitely!I would be very glad if everyone else would check it out as well(^∨^)♥ I thank you for your support。 what nice words and I really wanna see those pictures now
Is the HKT oshi of Matsui Rena-san! "when Shiichan and Marika were loved by the monkeys…" She's so cuuuuuute
I watched the new HKT48 drama "Himitsu" and I was really surprised by her acting skill, she really did well & give us a different image for her self, good job [rock]
Just finished watching Himitsu and I agree with shamurai48 above. I wasn't expecting much from Tani, but she totally surprised me here. It's even more surprising because her character is very different from her public persona, it's a shy and quiet character. If you're a Tani fan this is a must-watch.
The translation for Tani's interview from the Kenkyuusei Concert Guidebook has been posted to the article translation thread.
Tani's Melon Juice Extra video! Yeah uhm ... This is one of the video I don't have a clue what's going on, happens a lot around Marika. [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/74217137[/vimeo] The only thing I really understood is the helium voice part (those glasses), her diaries she's very embarrassed about and that she looks like Kintaro.
she's introducing the top 5 good things about herself. 5: she loves to draw, 4:she has a pretty face and looks at herself in the mirror everyday, 3: she can sing in various different voices, 2: she's reflecting on every day(and then shows her "reflections notes), 1: she says she resembles Ishihara Satomi, but then the number 1 steps in and says she actually resembles Kintaro
^ IMO her eyes resemble Satomi Ishihara's eyes, but then IMHO... Satomi Ishihara's appeal has more to do with her nose and her lips/mouth area, so the resemblance is not that prevalent IMO. IMO the only time she resembles Kintaro is when she is making weird faces... which unfortunately... is most of the time.
Marika made a really funny post today, so I thought I'd use it to heave her out of the 2nd page on here for a little while. Tani Marika 2013.10.14 23:30 Spoiler http://lotte-chocotv.jp/hkt48/ One time every day!! Please support me by voting for me! [☆Tani Marika’s daily diary★] Everyone!Good Evening! Known as Marika, I am Tani Marika。 October, 14th(Monday), the weather is clear!! 〔Today I had a conversation with Aoitan-san〕 Today I was with Team H’s Motomura Aoitan-shan。 I asked her who her favorite member is。 and then, her immediate reply: Aoitan-shan:『Uhmー!!!Nacchan!(Matsuoka-shan)』 Tani: 『I、、I see。Well!And among the 2nd generation?Who is it there?』, I asked her, and then。 Aoitan-shan:『Uhmーーーー!!Maichan!!』 Tani:『Eh!!W、、well!Your、、Your second favorite is!? your second favorite is!?(゜ロ゜)*nervous*』 Aoitan-shan:『Uhmーーーー、uhmーーーー。uhm~!(Thinking) Rikopi?』 I spontaneously went、、、 Tani:『Ri、、(;´д`)*sweat*!?What about Tani Marika!?Tani Marika-san!!』 If I ask her directly、、、 ♥ And she says: Aoitan-shan:『Uhmーーー。Tani is、、、、(troubled face) my 21st favorite!!』 Hm?Wait a second!!21st、、、?? {※The 2nd generation has 21 people in it。} Me:『(゜ロ゜;!(゜ロ゜;!』 Aoitan-shan: 『Hmー!But I love everyone~!Wahー!!!(>_<) ♥♥♥♥』 (C、、Cute、、、、。*gulp*) But then afterwards she tells me。 Aoitan-shan:『I like Tani but it’s a different kind of “like”!!In the “different” category, Tani is number one!!』 (“different” category!?F、、!First place!?*broad grind* *broad grin*) She’s really a good person(´Д`) ♥♥ The things that I learned today: I learned that Aoitan-shan is a very shy person~! And I, Tani Marika, am a simple person。 And then, and then、、、 Aoi-shan will save the world!! She’s so cute、、 my admired Senpai(^^) ♥ Today’s photo is! 『Fan service shot Tani Marika』 For reading my long text! I really thank you very much。 Good Marika Night!!
I can just imagine this scene playing out between Tani and Aoitan. Poor Tani! At least she's the first in the "different" category, whatever that is. That picture above... Is she wearing the Kiss wa Dame yo costume? I don't remember seeing her in this stage unit before. She usually does Classmate, and I think once or twice I've seen her in Hoshi no Ondo and Anata to Christmas Eve.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! TANI MARIKA!!!!!!!!!!!! [cake] [cake] [cake] [party] [party] [party] [dance] [dance] [dance] [party] [party] [party] [cake] [cake] [cake] May you have have a wonderfully insane birthday! [party] And I hope this year hold many fun and happy days for you!
Happy 18th birthday for our crazy but also very sensitive Tani! [party] For her birthday post she made a parody of a CM by Ishihara Satomi (her again lol). Her post Thanks to Haruppi for filming it and HKT manager Ozaki for NOPE'ing out of there lol. Here's a picture from Aanya's post. Spoiler Marika said to her: "Murashige-shan, is there something you want to tell me?", in true Tani fashion. And something very sweet from Raira's post : Spoiler For an illustration of Marika's huge cup noodle addiction, I'll add this photo Okapan took. That's it for now, I'll probably add more tomorrow.
Thank you very much for all this awesome stuff, DeJure! And happy birthday to TaniMari [party] [party] [party] I always say that this insane girl needs a lot more attention. Well, she gets a lot with her loud voice, but it's such a shame that people immediately go "Uah loud... annoying... bye" and therefore miss the chance to fall in love with her awesome personality! Tani is pure art!
