Tashima Meru (Meru) / 2nd Generation

What management did to Haruppi is mean, but Meru didn't asked to took Haruka's place as center either, so she shouldn't be blamed. When everyone will have forgot this incident, I think she will became even more popular. She has already that center thing. But until it calms down, management should do something like put Sakura or Haruppi as WCenter for one single or two. (that was my opinion... don't forget Meru is my HKT oshi. I'm just saying this because I'm pissed off by all the hate she currently gets)

 

Hi do!!!
i haven't been in this thread for sooooo looong time.... like the people had gone and come.
since the hkt 4th single had been decided, what do you think guys? don't you think meru will still come up as the center? In fact that she was the lowest ranked hkt quadruple front, i hope it won't shot the management eyes. But recently, i really worried about her performance in theater. it just like she is loss her flame and i couldn't see the 120% energy of dance. the way i really liked her soo much. i hope she get on the roll again and come back as 4th single center.

being hated is the center fate, but i don't want meru lose to it. i still want meru be the 4th single center. it kinda rude but she must overcome this and do like jurina did. i believe it!

 

i really hope meru is still our center
i mean, she really need it right now

oh, and meru really looks mature here

 

yeah, i haven't found the HD individual of mizugi surprise, but she is great there!!!
i hope someone would translate it.

 

I noticed she doesn't have that jump in her step when she performs too. I think she could be tired or burned out. BUT she still dances harder than a lot of the girls. As long as she can keep center I think she will be fine now actually. As long as management still backs her she's fine.

 

^ Maybe she is just older and wiser now so she conserves her energy more. Also... *whispers really soft so the Sakura and Mio armies cannot hear* ...I hope they go back to Meru solo center. IMO the Suki/Skip formation is still the best formation... all they gotta do is move Mio's position closer to the front. And then hopefully it is cool single and they film the PV at night after hours so Nako/Miku can't be there. LOL.

 

yeah, that's what i exactly mean. she must improve her dancing skill.

i think there are two ways to be a good dancer. being powerfull like nishino miki or being skillful dancer like jurina or sayanee who could use their energy very effective than being powerful a whole show. I hope meru could learn from jurina and sayanee do. i could see meru as a great dancer then!
tbh, i agree with you about meru solo center, i really not fan of merumio combi. and i 10000% agree with nakomiku

 

One of the greatest videos of all-time. Meru and Juri both in this video is an overload for me, I can't fully process this.


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

^ actually i fell with meru in that moment...

 

Too bad Meru lost to Nako first round. But i found a sweet fanmade video of her.


if the video does not show watch the video here

i also found little by little piece of FM from Moriyasu Madoka , featuring Meru!

yeah, unfortunately she couldn't make it this year. but seems she had funny day today. she updated it just after the janken event, i tried to translate it.

I wanted to ask you guys. Do you think Meru actually reads her g+ and all the comments her fans leave? she posts a ton of photos everyday. I don't see how she could read all 500 everytime. I thought that some staff loads the photos and manages that page and she maybe types up the text. what do you guys think? any of you heard how this works? I just feel like posting on their page, they will never read it, nor do the manage it.

 

Too bad for Meru not making it to the main event. However, I must say that outfit in her post-prelim G+ post suits Meru incredibly well. Very pretty 1950's look on her.

@Time007 Alot of the girls read their comments. @Sakura has a very nice report from their handshake with Annya, and how Annya recognized them right off the bat. Annya was able to because she reads all the comments on her posts. So go ahead and and leave comments. You never know! Good luck.

 

of course management put their eyes on members g+ to keep the girls in track. if any unnecessary post is made (like spoiling the single, event, etc or mostly scandals related stuff), management must delete it for both group and the girls sake. but i don't think that management is the one who manage the g+. in fact that reading all 500 comments and replying them is really hard, i think most of girls don't do it.

and here, meru updated her g+ this morning about makuhari mess handshake event

In tentoumu chu! Meru is mischievous and funny but in HKT48 I think being center adds pressure to be more reliable.

 

well she was goofy and funny at first, but for some reason yeah she toned it down on the HKT shows etc. I guess they maybe told her to tone it down? not sure if it happened naturally. i think they get some kind of idol training, and I dont mean dancing. I mean like how to act sometimes. but i guess as the center they dont want her being as goofy? who knows.

 

@x_lambs
don't you think that meru just doesn't have any chance in HKT yet? thanks to tentoumu chu variety show, she improve MCing and variety skills a lot. she is great in theater MC, but yeah i haven't seen her variety skill in HKT show. i hope she could show us in HKT variety show too...

 

It's hard to say really. Honestly I don't think they read all the comments. It also depends on the girl and how many comments they get.
Murashige has said multiple times she reads all her comments, and I'm sure she does her best, but I doubt she is constantly checking if there are new comments to read blah blah blah.
For Meru, she made 4 posts yesterday. That's 2000 comments. I really don't think she reads them all. But I'm sure she reads them when she has time. You don't have anything to lose commenting anyway. If you comment every post I'm sure she will read some of them.
The girls make the posts themselves though. They have a separate phone specifically for Google+.

 

here i come with today post translation :
air handshake alert!!!
