I find her profile pic isn't fair lol

 

Wait, is this girl #8 from the showroom?

 

She's a real looker. In some angle she reminds me of MoMusu's Michishige Sayumi. But more of a mature beauty than cute.

Seems like it. No doubt that's her.

At first I thought it would be Rika to get the ace push out of these new girls but seems they might go with Runa. We will see. Lovely girls.

 

She does have that aura. Rika seems a bit shy.
Now I'll go crazy if Runa can actually sing
Can't wait for them to appear at Kojichu

 

Runa is cute. I'm eagerly awaiting to see how this push goes.

 

I'm glad she's the push. Those squirrel cheeks got me

 

I think I've fell in love with her... She just look amazingly beuatiful in her indv pv.

 

About Runa, fans noticed something when Platinum FLASH tweeted photos of new 4th gens, Mar 26th
https://twitter.com/flash_platinum/status/1243114509947949062


As you can see here, she has four even spaced faint hypertrophic scars on the back of her left wrist. This sparks speculation among fans. Some say she's been bullied in the past. Some say she did it herself. Some comment in a more lighthearted way: she fought a bear. Or scratched by a cat.

There's no hard evidence of course, but some linked this discovery with what she wrote as her motto during group announcement SHOWROOM broadcast (the one MC'ed by group captains, Manatsu for her)

命懸ける
Inochi kakeru
which translates to 'I am betting my life'

It was seen as bold, almost joking even, back then, but now it's as if it has different meaning. I don't know the truth but if she's really a survivor, I hope she can find happiness in Nogizaka. There are a lot of loving senpais and comrades there, I wish she can achieve her goals facing forward.
Good luck, Runa.

 

If that's what those scars are, it's surprising they didn't put her in Keyakizaka. That'd be right up their - and their fans - alley.

 

This. And maybe also become a role model for others that are being bullied or inflicting self harm.

 

woah..that is pretty scary if the scars are really true and come from bad memories.. hope one day she gonna say something about it because im sure fans will keep asking about it in the future.

 

She got me!!! That was a really good debut episode on Kojichu, probably one of the best ever. Everything she did was so entertaining and funny and it seems like she got over her nervousness quickly enough to be able to talk/banter with Bananaman. Seems like she will be the center of this 2nd batch of 4th gens, her cuteness is undeniable and she has this aura that draws you to her. I've got high hopes for her

 

Give this girl Rice! Lol., Can't wait to see her variety skills

 

Surely my fave of new 4th gen members. She made me really laugh and I like her chara and her interactions with Bananaman. I would've chosen her immediatly from 1st groups assignment. She seems more potential than most of others 4ki to me.

 

It seems like she is the center of this group. I would definitely want to see her center the rest of 4th gen, if not on the next generational song, the one that follows. She looks determined and I think she's got what it takes.

 

Center? Really? It felt to me its Rika that might get a bit of a nudge

But Runa, she's got some sort of story behind those eyes of hers. Maybe that post previously abt those scars on ther arms, maybe has some substance
A blend of comedian + mystery + steely resolve
(maybe a Kazumin + Asuka hybrid?)
