Sorara and Kokko also wear Sustainable Japan Record Awards ver. Yukinee 1st one is (maybe) a Team B costume. I don’t remember the occasion but I remember Yukirin wearing that. Nonchan 2nd costume is Mogi’s Doushite green version.
A 'behind' video from the KKS visit to Yukemuri Forum 2023 in Gunma on 12/15 with Yukitan and Yukinee (plus 18ki members Kasumin, Chanhina, Yumemin and Azu): if the video does not show watch the video here
oh I just got around to watch your edit! I added the Yukinee and Nonchan info, it's only the Nonchan's 1st costume that's still unknown so far then! ============ So I was not updating things here for a while a lot of 17ki contents are out recently! 2 episodes of OUT OF 48, first episode was half segment, 2nd one they took over the whole program! https://twitter.com/shinobumouri/status/1760601225165459927 2024.02.15 Episode: https://tver.jp/episodes/ep3xh7o7h0 https://48idol.tv/video/778812 2024.02.22 Episode: https://tver.jp/episodes/epbuzb935l www.bilibili.com/video/BV11F4m1L7hq Feb 15 episode was more of introduction and setting, seeing how they reacted to "no promotion" announcement. Surprisingly no tears here, and they explained how they still feel lacking in some areas. What's more surprising for me is that Makino-san lecturing about dance/singing performance ability being the reason for popularity... I think in AKB that's not always true though..... He should have known the best, he was there with Eito from the beginning... (image from Eito 1st year documentary, similarly talking about how the performance wasn't powerful enough >>> link) And Eito's strong performers were not always popular, like Ikumin? His 2nd point is alright though, controlling your expression is certainly important. I'm not sure they are lacking in that though? IDK, perhaps Makino-san and the staff are trying to set new standard? He wants them to be even better than the senpais. Feb 22 Episode is the fun part ! the dokkiri segments Yukinee certainly earned that 120 pts score haha. The others are also very funny! Recommended to watch if you haven't! Mayuu says here it was pretty clear that something was amiss if the video does not show watch the video here Firstly, it's almost impossible to have KKS-only show on TV, especially without any proper project planning ready. Also the individual interviews and the fact that none of the 17ki who finished the interview went back to the waiting room. Mayuu being smart, already connected the dots at that point Also she's giving explanation for not helping: since the director was being scary. She said there are some other cut contents too. Hotechan and Yukitan were right to complain that theirs were cut, it was interesting! ============================== Two episodes of 17kenkyuujo Kokko Birthday SP + Masaru SP (Feb 14) www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Gv421y792 STU CHANNEL x 17kenkyuujo Special (Feb 22) www.bilibili.com/video/BV1AA4m137wb ============================= AKB48 Saikin Kiita yone Feb 13 Episode www.bilibili.com/video/BV1B2421c7pg Yukinee, Mizumin, Mahopyon, and Manaka competed to get the love from Yukirin! Mizumin's skill in cooking is... but the effort is 100%! She made a Fruit Punch for Yukirin that loves fruit. Yukinee remembers Yukirin's original character called "YukirinDaruma" and baked some cookies with that image! Very well made! The winner is...?? Spoiler =============================== Atsumare! MaruMaru AKB maru! 「集まれ！まるまるAKB。」 #32 (Feb 14) continuation of Yukinee, Mizumin and Sorara episode www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qp421d7F2/ Atsumare! MaruMaru AKB maru! 「集まれ！まるまるAKB。」 #33 (Feb 21) Feat Eriko, Ayane and Zunchan www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oA4m137L9 ================================== HADO Densetsu DAY4 (Feb 21) Aichan, Masaru, and Yukitan participated. Aichan's team won the DAY4! Feb 21 HADO recording: www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gv421C7Vb/ There were some discussion of the 17ki drama reward: Preparing the drama was too much of a trouble for Hiroyuko-san So for this season's overall winner they gave up the drama idea and will give out PRIVATE Fireworks event instead. (no fans at all? they'll think about it) at around 51:23 MC section : The drama script was sent but 17ki girls haven't received it yet. Masaru just knew the schedule the day before. Seems like they haven't even started filming yet.
Yo but fr, I wish 17ki would take over OO48 4ever. And then they swap the U and N of UNLAME to S and O, just a better fit for the group's concept overall!
Mayuu appeared at Shimoguchi Hinana's graduation stage today (Feb 25th, 2024). Hinana said some members were chosen because they were part of Team K at one point, such as Mion as a representative of Minegishi Team K and herself and Odaeri as Komiyama Team K representatives. She said Mayuu wanted to be part of a Team K stage, so Hinana told her, "Today you are also a member of Team K." Additionally, she said she would imbue Mayuu with her soul to carry on the future of Team K https://twitter.com/dedemaruenzo/status/1761748937608987028 https://twitter.com/dedemaruenzo/status/1761748940972806379 Hinana: I asked everyone who's been on Team K to appear together, and Masaru, who wanted to become a member of Team K... Today, you are also Team K. On-san is also from Minegishi Team K. At the time... Mion: That's right, maybe I'm the representative of Minegishi Team K? Hinana: Minegishi K and Komiyama K representatives Mion: We're representing each Team K Hinana: The future of Team K Mayuu: Ah... I wonder if I can do it...? Hinana: You'll be okay! I'm leaving it to you!! Mayuu: I'll do my best Hinana: I'll give you my soul Mayuu: I've received it~
Yeah Hinana was a big support for 17ki, pretty much close to 17ki mother figure among what I remembered: She suggested Zenza KKS to join in MC for BokuTai stages (also join in the group photo?), helping them interact and get closer with senpais. Taught them Nemohamo Rumor for 2023 Pia Arena concert Stayed late and taught them a lot of choreos for 2023 Budokan although she herself didn't perform on Day 2 and 3 Just overall welcoming to them (or any members actually) and going out together etc Thus, Hinana grad show had the highest number of KKS invited so far with 4 17ki attended : (Hotechan Masaru Mizumin and Yukitan) Spoiler: kks tweet sources https://twitter.com/miyuu_mizushima/status/1761749261954466247 https://twitter.com/moka_hotei1201/status/1761755482920833462 https://twitter.com/mayuu_masai0301/status/1761743670305607825 https://twitter.com/yuki_ota0327/status/1761756954245169583 Aichan and Nonchan also tweeted https://twitter.com/airi_sato0624/status/1761745893857087616 https://twitter.com/nonchan_akb48/status/1761737857436467569 Happy graduation, Hinana... Hopefully she's successful with her next dream. DH might hire her as AKB photographer? hehe I remember Eriko mentioned on her mail that if there was a captain/leader position for KKS, it would 1000% be Mayuu. Masai Team K in the future ========================= Another show the KKS took over? /jk Hashira Night! with AKB48 Radio show (Feb 25 episode) 柱NIGHT! with AKB48 (BayFM) Featuring Sorara, Yuna and Yuichi! https://twitter.com/Akb48Night/status/1761767777940205627 https://twitter.com/AKB48_staff/status/1761571827833565572 This special episode has the girls talk about the story behind the new KKS stage, SokoMira! <haven't fully listened yet, will update this part later> EDIT I fully listened to it, translation about SokoMira stuff in its own thread here: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...i-mirai-wa-aru-2024-02-04.24613/#post-1821444 While the fun fan questions about Sorara, Yunachan and Yuichi are posted on 18ki thread here: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/akb48-18th-generation.24261/page-17#post-1821479 unofficial recording: if the video does not show watch the video here
[EitoSubs] 240222 OUT OF 48 ep43 Translation and Timing: GEES Visual Typesetting and Q&A: Lusankya@EitoSubs The 17th gens are appearing on OO48 and need to show their character and skills in a dokkiri in order to gather material to prove they're worthy of a promotion. https://twitter.com/EitoSubs/status/1762611022358061312
Atsumare! MaruMaru AKB maru! 「集まれ！まるまるAKB。」 #32 (Feb 14) continuation of Yukinee, Mizumin and Sorara episode www.bilibili.com/video/BV1At421h7Pn Just got around to watch it, it's also a fun episode like episode 31! Since it was aired on Valentine, some discussion about making chocolates: Sorara used to make chocolate a lot in elementary school, like factory line she says. Yukinee still makes it every year, but if it goes to late at night sometimes she feels it's troublesome. Mizumin made choco too (even made various types) just sometimes forgot to ADD SUGAR LOL It's not a problem she says, just add it later and bake it, the taste will be the same anyway xD Latter half is Valentine themed confession segment! The girls were tasked to act in different situations, trying to give the choco to the MC, who tries hard to makes the situation funny with his antics XD As expected Sorara with acting experience is the best at this! For future episodes, they want to find: Sorara: Members that love Cola (Sorara drinks Cola everyday) Yukinee: Members that like doing Makeup (she wants to talk and learn about different Makeup techniques) Mizumin: Members who want to find something they're good at (later she changed to Members who want to be good at cooking) The MC, Comedy Duo Sanbyoshi's Kubo Takamasa (三拍子 - 久保 孝真) is pretty good at making this episode fun, teaching them variety stuff, and seems impressed by how good the chemistry for the three girls is! Candidate for official Onii-chan! https://twitter.com/AKB48_staff/status/1757577922859442263 https://twitter.com/1008_pooh/status/1755083612805067194 ============================== Regarding HADO 17ki Drama Reward: Bits and pieces of information from some sources: From Masaru's Feb 26 Showroom: Highlights from 6:00 (about Voice Training): For voice training, sounds like it's provided by the office for KKS! They can go to many places (including Masaru's town), just make the reservation within 2 days before. So at that day she went for practice, DO SOMETHING FOR SPRING CON, go voice training, go home quickly take a shower, and come back to DO SOMETHING FOR SPRING CON, and at 8PM still has things to do at office, will continue to late night so she wanted to at least take a bath. Apparently they are free to go and reserve voice training anytime, but their schedule is not fixed so it's a problem, even if they ask manager for the schedule of a week ahead, lots of changes happens. around 9:41 about drama: HADO Drama shoot will be 3 days, will be at late night and they might be staying up all night she says. From AKB blog & HADO MC: https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12842302153.html (unconfirmed) Fans who want to be Extras were asked to come on Mar 1 for a shoot at theater, but from some tweets seems like there were some troubles/complications due to influenza, prolonged time and they had to be there for 6 hours? https://twitter.com/masamayusukipi/status/1763522519527792825 https://twitter.com/ANCY01270918/status/1763476458926936490 https://twitter.com/hideboh1230/status/1763529240396595403 Anyway it was finally done though. From Mar 1 HADO DAY5: www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Rw4m1Z7Et/ In MC segment at 48:00 : For the 17ki drama, the MC Yamabe Kasumi also joined the shoot earlier in the day, as dance instructor for 17ki! She says it's a real drama setup, complete with cameras and and other equipment. She was suddenly asked by Hiroyuko to come by a call at 19.00 the day before LOL She was inspired by Erii who came suddenly to help Mahopyon, and agreed to it. The drama was shot in Tottori ! Remitan was surprised (MC cruelly joked it was made with Remitan's youth in image but was given to 17ki instead) Also according to Hiroyuko the 17ki drama will air on March 20!! ==================================== 17ki in OutOf48 (Feb 29, Episode 44) www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Av421k7VR They even hired an actress to act as random AD staff lol Mizumin should be acting for a cowboy movie instead of zombie one Aichan's response to the love issue is really like an angel Poor Yukitan finally got a segment but it was showing her in not-so-good light It's seems like typical Yukitan though! Nonchan did great, even asked for her cut segment to be shown! Recommended to watch, also fun episode!! Even felt too short, I'll certainly watch the cut contents for these! Give us the full interviews of all 10 girls Mouri-san, maybe off-shot footages in showroom like in the past SayoMouri? Also they should give UNLAME proper parting episode.... ====================== 17kenkyuujo Renewal! https://twitter.com/akb48_17ken/status/1762454420032565394 https://nicochannel.jp/akb48-17ken/video/smmcUM9f7kYdB82b7GURsWEH 17ki's exclusive show, 17kenkyuujo, was announced to have a big renewal in March! What kind of renewal... we'll see on the next episode: March 11 featuring Hotechan, Eriko, and Okabe Rin as guest!! Hotechan was over the moon with this announcement, since Rinrin is her oshi! The goal is to "research" the senpai guest and learn to make it their own weapon. What can they learn from Rinchan? Maybe better fishing technique? The show is kinda veering away from its roots of "researching" by doing too many games lately, so it seems like they'll return it to basic. Also according to Hotechan's showroom it seems it was the last time they'll use the Kadokawa studio.... Whether they'll move to smaller studio (with less members per episode) or better one, we'll see! The Feb 27 episode of 17kenkyuujo had all 10 of 17ki girls present! www.bilibili.com/video/BV1i1421f7eF/ They played some games together and it was fun to see their chemistry still strong! I noticed towards the end Nonchan wasn't particularly happy for being on the losing side one too many times =======================- KKS on Saikin Kiitayone (Feb 27) https://tver.jp/episodes/ep6nybzsuw www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gm411f7zY/ https://twitter.com/AKB48_staff/status/1762523334431166965 https://twitter.com/akb48_tvtokyo/status/1763041518926102959 Important episode! Ericoberg Director returns to direct Ano Natsu no Bouhatei MV Sorara as main character, Mayuu as cameraman, and Kasumin as assistant director! Eriko also edited the final MV on her phone! The result is great, but after watching the episode, I learned more about what Eriko wanted to show, like the Bookmark reminding Sorara about the past. (signifying wistful feeling). Apparently Eriko heard about this project only 2 days before shooting and couldn't plan much! Resulting MV if the video does not show watch the video here Of course there are parts to be improved like the dance scene could be with proper costumes, more makeup/effects to differentiate between past and present, etc, but overall great job Erichan!! Apparently the school uniforms are courtesy of LucyPop: https://twitter.com/info_lucypop/status/1763221591180345791 Finally Ano Natsu no Bouhatei got some MV. Now, Full version MV with all the KKS when??? Also where is the 17ki/18ki/U20 song???
Having spent considerable time/money with Sorara and Hotechan this weekend, I am once again reminded that: Idols are wonderful 17th gen is also wonderful Sorara and Hotechan are extremely wonderful, so much so that not nuking the entire world to remove humans messing up the place seems like a good idea

Okabe Rin is invited to be studied by the KKS, but it was mostly Hotechan's fangirl memeable moments with lots of shrieking Everything super fun, I like the new style of inviting senpais! Next episode will be on Mar 19 with Sorara, Nonchan and Odaeri as guest! Sorara was already laughing a lot ever since she was informed of this. Looking forward for the next one too! Again, 100% recommended watch even just for the reactions part! clip of the free part: if the video does not show watch the video here Clip of Rinchan's comments of the show on her showroom if the video does not show watch the video here Lately there are lots of newly hired managers/staffs (so perhaps they haven't been close with Rinrin etc) So seeing the program's staffs pouring a lot of love to the KKS members, not just simply doing their job but trying to build the program together, reminded her of Anta Dare staffs back then who were also close with Team8. But she was happy to see such a warm, safe place still exist in the current AKB, and would like to see it continue to the future of AKB. ====================== March Photosets https://twitter.com/AKB48_netshop/status/1766026329693303205 https://shop.akb48.co.jp/selection/list/3712?twA ==================== Dobon 3rd Anniversary Concert! https://twitter.com/moka_hotei1201/status/1766638945008533771 Watch here : www.bilibili.com/video/BV1jK421x7aq/ Yukitan, Mizumin and Hotechan participated!

The newest kenkyuujo ep was one of the funniest ep i seen all year . From minute 1, mokaron is a mess and can barely string a proper sentence together. Her questions are cute, she just wants to know rin more! its like a fan meeting It's funny that chat is cheering her on to KEEP IT TOGETHER she's even crying when rin is promo-ing her grad performance the mock handshake event was good content too well this ep really was a 10/10 ep, highly recommend!! cute pic rin drew of moka and eriko (by request) next ep will be with sora and her fav senpai, odaeri. I know she is mega excited for this, should be a good ep as well

It's been 10 days, none in 17ki changed their hair color yet Some updates: Again, Congrats for the Promotion, 17ki girls! https://twitter.com/5pm9mht6kuheUNw/status/1771811050314162365 17ki promotion Footage : https://twitter.com/Team4_2001_0228/status/1769315607005339788 www.bilibili.com/video/BV11J4m187w2 Makino-san first time on stage! And he did well making the announcement interesting with the order starting from the ones with senbatsu experience, to the long pause before Kokko's announcement. Comparison of debut Oogoe vs latest 2024 spring concert Oogoe: https://twitter.com/sojJcJ0Z9r49371/status/1771672239034802421 The intro video from the concert was so mesmerizing! Thus I made some collage of 17ki ones: full size : https://imgur.com/yDIHcW3 Clip of behind the stage footage from the concert: if the video does not show watch the video here taken from I-ken/17kenkyuujo #63, the free part: https://nicochannel.jp/akb48-17ken/video/smvi73jb6UprTq8MFPb8F6nQ or www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaN9ERpvJms Basically 17kenkyuujo will continue on despite 17ki being promoted! Episode 63 itself is also quite golden, with Sorara and Nonchan and Odaeri as guest and Sorara's oshimen! watch here ---> www.bilibili.com/video/BV1c1421Q7vD/ https://twitter.com/nonchan_akb48/status/1770073107392524391 As expected, lots of happy shrieks from Sorara But, in contrast to Hotechan who couldn't look at Rinchan at all, Sorara directly stares at Odaeri a lot to even get commented on that multiple times moment: https://twitter.com/sorara_akb48/status/1770086881587576915 ------------------------ Next is Mar 31 episode with NonKokko with MahoErii senpais as guests! Looking forward for this episode too, seems like it will be golden as well! ============================ 17ki girls did Colorcon Wink on theater! (Mar 25) Video https://streamable.com/vfiq8i Static camera footage : https://streamable.com/i2sq2z Also notice how they all have ponytails? Since it was Mayuu's birthday show!

Also nice double twist at the end of the drama! Leaving it mysterious for future episode?? The bloopers and making are the icing on the cake. No screenshot or spoiler yet since many probably haven't watched it yet. ================================== Magazine/article stuffs Encount.press interviewed Hotechan, Yukinee and Sorara about AKB48's recent "Rejuvenation" with the new gens! https://encount.press/archives/598945/ Translations is posted at AKB general thread here ---> http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/general-the-akb48-thread.180/page-1437#post-1823779 ============================ Why AKB in Reiwa? - Weekly Playboy no 14 - April 1 Issue The rest of pages are posted here, including Masaru's "after rain"-themed gravure: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/the-research-student-thread.1269/page-109#post-1823471 Translations of 17ki reasons of joining AKB in Reiwa era plus what their goals are in AKB: Sorara I got to know Watanabe Mayu-san when I was in elementary school and became fond of AKB48. I want to improve my performance skills in dance and singing to contribute to AKB48 even just a little bit. Yukinee I heard that my beloved AKB48 is holding auditions for the first time in five years, so I saw it as my last chance and applied. I want to become an indispensable presence in the group. Aichan My older sister (Sato Kiara) was in AKB48, so it felt close to me. I want my fans to see me become a central member and performs at Tokyo Dome. Yukitan I never thought performing and dancing in shows or concerts would be part of my life, so I'm really enjoying it now. I want to do my best as an idol without any regrets. Eriko When I was in elementary school, I fell in love with Maeda Atsuko's smile as she covered the Onyanko Club songs, and that's how I came to know AKB48. I want to make it a group that everyone admires. Kokko I auditioned because I wanted to become a sparkling idol. I like Chiba Erii, and my dream for the future is to become a model that everyone admires. Nonchan In my kindergarten Tanabata wish, I wrote 'I want to become an AKB48 member.' I'm not good at being in front of people, but I want to overcome that and become an amazing person recognized by everyone. Hotechan I became a fan of Yokoyama Yui (Team8) after 'NemoHamo Rumor,' which sparked my admiration for AKB48. My goal is to become a figure that can support the group. Mayuu My first ever favorite idol was Tomomi Itano. I've always done rhythmic gymnastics, and I wondered if I could apply that in AKB48. My goal is to release a photo book. Mizumin I had wanted to audition because I love AKB48, but I gave up since I'm from Hokkaido. I'll work hard so that someday I can get a center song. =============================== So with the promotion, what can they get now? Increase in salary (Based on Miion's wage illustration in SayoMouri) Allowed to use their smartphone during lesson/moving time/backstage. Can receive gifts from fans. Can change hair/nail colors. Not wearing the nametags anymore. Eligible for Universe Girls Definitely feeling weird not seeing 17期研究生 at the end of names . Gotta get used to it I think. Who will be the first to change their profile pic? ====== I apologize for the overtly long post, I just had a lot saved up this time Not that you need to read them all anyway haha
A 2nd Anniversary fanmeet for '17 Research Institute' members will take place in Tokyo in two sessions on 5/4: https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12846392987.html
After 2 years of following 17th generation, and with all of them successfully got promoted, I think it's time for me to take a break from them, kinda feeling burnt out here from overexposure . Wish them luck in the future.
