I like Yuna! From what I've seen so far in the 18th gen intro and their Showroom, she seems like a nice girl and she's very cute. I first noticed her when they performed the songs at the beginning of their intro and she centered "Hatsukoi yo Konnichiwa". During the little music intro, she is waiting and then walks to the stage, and I thought she was so cute there! You can watch that part here and during the NicoNico part where they did a game, her nametag fell like twice? lol. That was kinda funny hehe. Somehow she gives me a very good impression. She seems like a kind and positive girl and she has a nice smile. She might become my favorite member in this gen! The "Hatsukoi yo Konnichiwa" intro...
Her first showroom stream! if the video does not show watch the video here She seems very good at choosing the questions and responding in general! Of course the cute smile is just... Some infos I got (updating.....) Her lightstick color seems to be Lightblue/Purple (7:36) Her specialty is basketball, she has practiced it since 3rd grade elementary (8:14), she was captain (of her club) during JHS (29:16) ChanHina, Yumemin, Kasumin and Yuichi stormed in to the room randomly at the latter half (from 49:00) She left hints that she has a job later that day..... which turns out to be Zenza together with ChanHina on Team K show that evening!
I didn't expect to find a oshi in 18ki then I found the "Hatsukoi yo Konnichiwa" intro.... (I've always loved "Hatsukoi" center: Mayuyu, Cocona, Mewnich). I remembered yesterday SHOWROOM there were more than 4.3k people watching this smile cause Yunachan is way too cute. This reminds me of NMB48 Aayan so much, good at dancing, basketball experiments, and leader of the gen, hoping that her idol life will as bright as Aayan's. Yuna's position in 18ki is quite easy to find. She ranks #3 in NemoHamo (Hiichan's position), #2 in Iiwake, and #2 in AnoNatsu (same position as Sorara) and also center of 3rd line in Your Super Girl which proves that management are keeping eye on her. Anyway, a Twitter account updated for Yunachan if anyone interested in her: https://twitter.com/akiyunaarchive Yunachan AKB48's Tiktok debut that YOU MUST WATCH: https://www.tiktok.com/@akb48_official_tiktok/video/7220410602794061057
When I first saw this tweet I thought (Oshima) Yuko?? But no, it's Yunachan Spoiler: full size https://twitter.com/akb_trainee48/status/1654463884055711744 Introduction tiktok part 2 Showing a bit of her basketball prowess: https://www.tiktok.com/@akb48_official_tiktok/video/7229674078863412482
YES, thank you! I really thought I was the only one The first time I saw her was on the profile picture and it already made me curious, but during their debut performance she really looked like Oshima from some ankles. I'm at a point now where I say she's somewhere between Yuko and Oshida Mitsuki (Nearly Equal Joy)
I watched Yuna's first Showroom! She's so cute Some of the little things that I understood... Her favorite color is blue, and her penlight colors are blue/purple (this was mentioned already a few posts above ^^) She was wearing a really cute outfit that she showed to the camera. She has nice fashion, simple and elegant. She talked about commenting a few times on Kasumin's Showroom. Kasumin commented during Yuna's Showroom too. Cuties! ^^ She said that she used to always have a ponytail at home/school but now she lets her hair down. I want to see her with a ponytail! She's good at basketball and she's been playing it for 7 years! She's good at sports in general, the way she said this with confidence and a bit of bragging was very cute, and her little nods hehe. She admires Hiichan. At some point, she shows a hoodie that she has with her, which is apparently from Hiichan's produced brand? She did her catchphrase and it's cute She said that she has a similar personality with Kohi, they get along well and like to talk about similar things. She talked a lot about Chanhina, about her "azatoi" personality, and her gyoza t-shirt lol. Her favorite song is #SukiNanda, and lately she also likes Doushitemo Kimi ga Suki da. When she was 5 years old, she wrote that her dream is to become an idol in AKB48! She was a fan of Tomochin at that time. I love that She was asked if she likes animes and she said yes, she talked a bit about Slam Dunk. For Iiwake Maybe, she was wearing the costume of Yuko (maybe that made her look more similar to Yuko to some of you guys, lol) Some comments told her that she looks like Nogi's Ichinose Miku. She said that Sae and Kohi told her too (I also thought the same btw lol) Some people also told her she looks like Nako. She said that she saw a lot of comments saying that on TikTok! and it's true, she does o_o She got comments telling her that she was cute in Hatsukoi yo Konnichiwa, she said she was embarassed in the intro. it was the best part! At the end, other 18th gens entered the room, it was apparently Kasumin, Yuichi, Chanhina and Yumemi. All my favorites lol The interactions between them were really cute especially the Yuna-Yuichi moments. Yuichi told Yuna that she smells good haha That's it! This was cute to watch, Yuna is adorable
Yes i've also been thinking that she has major Nako vibes ever since i first saw her especially her smile, her eyes, her hair/bangs, and the way she moves when she dances~

Clip from Yunachan's July 7 Showroom: Why she chose AKB48, not Sakamichi. if the video does not show watch the video here It's been a while since her last personal showroom, a lot of things happened. She has been liking AKB48 since 5 years old, when Kami7 were around. (not in the clip) Her favorites were Oshima Yuko (especially her expression) and Itano Tomomi. As she mentioned in 18ki reveal, at that time in kindergarten she wrote down that her dream is to become AKB48 member. She didn't know and never went to any handshake event or theater show, she only knew and followed AKB48 on TV. She wrote wishes for her school's Tanabata festival, but didn't write her real wish, which is [I want to be in Senbatsu!] She realizes that just wishing is not enough to make it fulfilled, she will continue to work hard to deliver excellent performances When some fans asked "Did you not like Sakamichi? There are a lot of Sakamichi members from Chiba pref." She answered : " I did listen to 48/46 groups' songs, but the one I want to join, the one that feels sparkling is always AKB48." Fans : "Thank you for loving AKB48!" Great answer Yunachan! Her performance in the debut show was excellent, my eyes always went to her whenever she was in the picture. I hope she can achieve her dream in a year from now. Looking at her position in theater..... the chance is pretty high! Full July 7 showroom: Spoiler if the video does not show watch the video here

AKB48 Budokan Concert Day 3 Yunachan won the lottery and became the center of Jiwaru DAYS, with Yuiri and Hiichan (her oshi) on her wings, such a strong line-up. Although the vocal is off-tune a little bit (the intro is very high) but Yunachan is still very cute and she's done a great job. If you missed the performance, watch here: Also don't miss Kimi dake ni Chu! Chu! Chu! from the 1st day:
