Shimazaki Haruka (Paruru) / 9th Generation

The closest confirmation I can grab about her recent employment there.

 

she was probably just helping out,is she close with any of the former members who work there or uchida?

the glasses guy looks like aki-p

 

A fan went to have a look -

仕事終わって、とあるルートより情報得て急いで駆けつけてみましたが、確かにぱるるさんはいました。満席で食事は出来ませんでしたが…。ポニテの後ろ姿だけ拝めました
だいぶTL賑わってますね…

After working, I got information from a certain source and rushed there, but there was certainly Paruru. I couldn’t eat because it was full. I worshiped only the back of Paruru
TL is very busy ...

So, it appears to be true but fans are very supportive e.g - a reply to the above Tweet -

'' I was surprised to see many people's tweets, but it was true.
Paruru's first part-time job It ’s good to enjoy “normal”, something you couldn’t do before, and use it as something for your next play''

 

I don’t know about you guys, but this news makes me really sad. I still follow up on her from time to time, and noticed she hasn’t had any acting jobs. If she’s happy working a menial job, then I’m all for it. At the same time, I hope she’s not working there out of financial necessity like all the former AKB members who work there.

 

@broz0rs I agree with you. I hope she's doing this because she wants it and not because she felt she need to do it to get money, because lately she didn't get new activities. Just the other day I was thinking that I barely see her other than social medias updates (and they are quite rare too). among all graduates that I'm following, she has the least updates. I don't think she appeared on Tv for months, in shows and dramas. at first, I thought it's her choice and maybe she's busy with other things (maybe dating LOL) but now seeing her work as waitress made me wonder. I really hope she isn't having difficult times or anything ._.

For japanese fans it must be nice though, no wonder they're happy, they can get to meet her or talk to her all for free (well, they need to buy food LOL). it's different than back then when they had to pay to meet her for a short time, haha. Anyway, I hope to see Paruru on dramas/movies again soon, unless it's her own choice not to do it, who knows... I just hope she's happy but I miss seeing her active in Tv, events and acting ;_; and photoshoots too.

 

Yeah this saddens me also. Feels so not right. Personally I have been thinking of cancelling my fan site account also. She hasn't updated a video on it since March. And posts are real random. If she is having money problems maybe she had to let the fan site staff go. Not sure how its run. Can't believe in all of Tokyo she couldn't find a different job then having to work at IWA.

 

Totally surprised and not a little saddened when I heard about this. I know she hasn't had much work recently but are things really so bad?
Of course, we don't know the full circumstances of why she is there. Perhaps her health prevented her from taking up acting offers?
Anyway, Paruru is a tough girl and I'm sure she'll bounce back and surprise us all!

Edit:

Screencap from the vid posted by @EinhanderX above-

 

probably just for fun?
I refuse to believe she's that desperate for job

 

I second everyone's worries about her being out of work, but I really wish I could go and get served by her.

 

I hope Paruru is ok and not having financial troubles,that she is doing this to have a different experience.
Maybe Paruru wants to do a normal life during some time or she is thinking about what to do, she has always been a very private person,let´s see what will happen and if she will announce something.
I hope she is happy with her new job and people don´t give her a hard time in the restaurante.
I feel a bit weird about looking at the pictures or videos,I wonder if she was upset for being recorded, probably she was but I hope she is ok.

When I went to bed early last night and got up early in the morning to start my PC
Tachibana Momona-chan has been working for the first time at a bar in Kabukicho since today.
Afterwards, go to Yakiniku IWA for a normal meal
Come and be surprised !!
Pa; Pa; Paruru...
(Haruka Shimazaki-chan)
I'm working part-time!
Cute after a long time
For the time being, I asked for tongue salt
Yabai! Paruru is really cute and responsive
Paruru BBQ at IWA!
U U lie (cold sweat)
The empty yakiniku IWA was suddenly crowded.
After all it is a paru effect!
☺ gathering to see Paruru one after another
The first day of part-time work is rare! cute ♡
Taking pictures secretly? There was a video that worked for a moment
https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1169952710822526976/pu/vid/720x1280/gl5jsag_vOVkGLgR.mp4
Wow, seriously ...
More follow-up reports!
If you go to IWA after a long time, Paruru!
I'm going to work part-time for 3 weeks \ (^ o ^) /
IWA Paruruita w
I was able to talk a little but w
Apparently it ’s not a TV project, it ’s a complete part-time job.
Paruru was part-time at IWA (lol)
Is there any program for you? If you ask me, it ’s just part-time
The reason for the part-time job is unknown, but various rumors are circulating
Of course, most of the time I can't believe it
Actors are too different
I do not think that Paruru will do a part-time job at IWA.
Program planning? When you appeared in Ariyoshi Reflection Society?
Parru said, “I've never done a part time job ,” with OO baito, I was doing MC before. There seems to be a hint around that.
Life experience No, acting part-time for acting experience Waitress or hall work is the work that young girls can do most quickly, but Paruru is already 25 years old (bitter smile)
If you want to work part-time, senior Yuki Uchida Yakiniku IWA is good.
I've been to IWA with Mariya Nagao during my career
Anyway, I can only understand the truth.
However, there is no doubt that there is a prospective calculation, a prospect.
It ’s a thoughtful action.
I explained the idea to the staff in the office and gained understanding.
It feels like a common sense conclusion
Well, they don't understand the true meaning of Paruru from the shallow level thoughts of those who say she's fallen to the bottom
So, do you know what is in front of you?
You won't understand. Paruru's behavior is always unpredictable.
It ’s too capricious and even a fan ca n’t understand everything.
There is only one thing that is clear
Whimsical and free-spirited and honest with herself, it is a person named Haruka Shimazaki
Those who can't like that Paruru can't love Paruru
Also, there is no qualification to love Paruru
Paruru Enjoy your first part-time job experience?
Are you standing and are your feet sore?
I just have to do what I like now
I'm sure it will lead to your bright future

 

I agree. If she really wanted quick money, just put out a PB. That'll sell easy

 

my theory is she's going to play a waitress on a drama or something and wants to get into character first

 

she's just helping out for the lulz of it.
(i mean my friend's brother who is a successful engineer helps out on their family restaurant from time to time)
and if ever she needs money/job, aside from pb, she could always ping @Juri and be recruited as a new rocket punch member lol

 

Hopefully this happens!

 

ok. i know this is off the current topic but.. anyone who has tonde saitama?

about IWA: Japanese fans doesn't seem to be worried at all. They're just glad to see she's ok

 

I don’t mind either, she’s fine and she’s getting some side bread.
