    ^ I'm kinda surprised that she actually won! I thought she's on a beginner level, but the sensei even told Murase Sae to "mark" her.

    That role she got in Saki really makes her play mahjong, she even plays with her stage play casts members now and then. Perhaps that's how she became good at mahjong! :1st:

    Other tidbits of the show is when she talked about her activities post-graduation and talked "bad" about Maokyun (LOL)

    Anyway, Weekly Karen!

    Iwata Karen Lineblog Translation 2018/08/01


    Her lineblog post is basically the details about her new stage play "Re-" which will start performing on September!

    She seems to be enjoying herself in stage play jobs, great for her to go on the road that she's been dreaming of. :cute:

    Some picture dumps from her twitter:

    Second Time that Karen was again on the mahjong show, this time the Maokyun special.
    ... Maoukyun swiped out Karen, Murase and even the show's narrator :^^;:

    Iwata Karen Lineblog Translation 2018/09/07



    As posted on her lineblog, her next stage play is titled "Ikizama 3" and it will be her last stage play of the year 2018.

    Also, this week, seems that she apologized for something she has said (possibly off-screen). Possibly something that she thought might offended some people, but hopefully it was nothing big. She's a good girl as we know so she won't be offending anyone.:flower:

    Karen has been kind enough to provide a (kinda) summary of her gig in 2018 in one of her line blog:

    - SIG RAIDER
    - Site
    - Time Flies
    - The Robbers
    - Like Pure Water ~Our 1945~

    Not in the pic:
    - Re- 2018
    - Ikizama 3 (new)

    Hello, if you guys wondered why the lack of updates, it's because Karen literally has less updates in almost a month and she just tweeted again recently..

    Most possibly because that stuffed dolls "problem" caused her to carefully post anything on her social media (using it mainly to promote her works). Plus, she's not a type of girl that post every 1 minute and she's more focused into her works. :1st:

    A story about the trial of her stalker. Apparently they used video testimony (ビデオリンク - video link)

    ""Do not concern my life anymore" Former AKB Iwata Karen appeals in trial"

    Unfortunately, the story has video of the guy, I believe when he was arrested in June.

    ^ I hope that dude won't be a problem anymore. Like Karen has said, he didn't exist in her life anymore.

    Anyway, I finally managed to catch up with everything and here's a lot of translations!

    An important tidbit from her twitter is that she is one of the people who was appointed as Miyagi Bond Ambassador! Good for her! She can do more work for Tohoku just like she wants! :1st:

    And her Instagram post yesterday was interesting since it was a reverse-time-capsule-like letter to herself 10 years ago. You could say it was like she was reflecting to her life these past 10 years.

    Iwata Karen is someone who honestly doesn't let others' opinions hinder or influence her. She is running - no, sprinting - her own path and woe betide you if you try to stop her.
    Iwata and Tano Yuka are two people who deserve respect.

    (Not so) Weekly Karen! :^^;:

    Iwata Karen Twiter Translations 2018/10/29 – 2018/11/11

    Like she has posted on twitter, she appeared in this short movie title "10th Birthday"! :banana:
    It's to commemorate the 10th birthday of shopping centre Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens, which was formerly a baseball fields.


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Perhaps this is why she posted that instagram post about herself from 10 years ago..

    Damn, I really missed her voice.. Movie is good and she looks good in it. I hope she got more media appearances in the future..

    If you have some question about the short movie I might help you to get better understanding about the story..

    Also, last week Karen met with Tano and Tomu. Tano posted a pic but it seems that the post has been deleted for whatever reason..

    I was hoping someone could get the transcript of the interview with BOMB..

    Few days ago she went out with Tano & Tomu (probably drinking again, LOL)

    And we wouldn't be surprised why Karen is a tomboy since she often hangs out with boys. And her co-stars for Ikizama 3 are mostly boys/men. :lol:
