Hidaka Yuzuki (Yuzuki) / 6th Generation

I just watched this LOD and since Ryoha is absent, Yuzuki is taking her place! For this LOD Yuzuki was in:
- Nageki no Figure
- Koi no Plan (not the MC though )
- Senaka Kara Dakishimete (Top 7!!)
- Rio no Kakumei
- Skirt, Hirari, as one of the 7 wearing Seifuku
- Aishiteraburu!: Kumi or Churi's position

I think being added to Senaka Kara Dakishimete is huge! Originally, when Team A did this stage, Senaka Kara Dakishimete was performed by Itano Tomomi, Takahashi Minami, Nakanishi Rina, Maeda Atsuko, Oshima Mai, Kojima Haruna, and Shinoda Mariko. These seven girls were the most popular members at the time. I think this is a good sign that management wants to push Yuzuki a bit!!

As a side note, Ruka and Yuuna look super cute with shorter hair. I still think Yuzu is the cutest, but that's just me ;D

Here's the most recent Team E show Yuzuki was in. She's gotten much better since her debut! She's starting to get better at "Lay Down". That's the song that is supposed to be "sexy". Yuzuki still isn't there yet, but she looks a lot less awkward.

She had a long introduction speech and got some laughs! I hope she's capturing more people's hearts .

EDIT: Turns out it was Iwanaga Tsugumi in Idol Nante Yobanaide. I can't believe I thought she was Yuuna >__<

[youku]http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjA4NDExMTg4.html[/youku]

 

When nanako are missed a E3 performance? Yuuna has never participated in the new stage which began the 24 july, so she never sang " Idol Nante Yobanaide "
she's participed in E2 saka agari but not yet in E3 boku no taiyou

Since the bad performance of Ryoha in " Kiseki wa ma ni Awanai " i see no Kenkyuusei are allowed to sing an unit songs... it s sad... thanks Ryoha .....

but it's cool because Yuzuki are under Rena like Ryoha are under Jurina,
so perhaps the ske staff are see the Yuzuki popularity ( handshake for KFC she sell the most slot for the 6th generation behind Ryoha ) and they placed her under Rena
i want to see the 33 single HS for confirm her new popularity,

PS : the most funny 6th generation, everyone laughs in her speech

i just saw the LOD 130912 nao, rena and kanon aren t here.. Yuzuki , Inuzaka and Mizuho are under.

conclusion

Iwanaga Tsugumi are spot in " Idol nante yobanaide " and " Itoshisa no Defense "
Sakai Mei in " Boku to Juliet to Jet Coaster " and " Himawari "
and Kaneko Shiori in " Higurashi no Koi " and Himawari "
no kenkyuusei in unit song
.... really thanks Ryoha ..........

 

Oh my gosh, you're right! I thought Tsugumi was Yuuna X___X

Thank you for the correction

And I agree, Yuzuki is hilarious!!

I'm eager to see how her HS slots sell too. Last time she was one of the best 6th gens, so we shall see
On the "mixi" rankings, she is ranked after Ryoha, Goto Mayuko, and Aoki Shiori. But mixi doesn't really indicate much hahahaha

 

My friend translated a part of the Team E MC that Yuzuki was in!

Topic: The country you would like to visit the most

Yuzuki: I wanna go to the North Pole....
Everybody: That isn't a country
Yuzuki: It isn't? Oh, whatever. I want to go to the North Pole because it has penguins! It will be fun together with polar bears, I'm sure of that!
Mizuho: You freaking idiot! The North Pole doesn't have Penguins!!

Oh my gosh Yuzuki!! She's so funny

I'm practicing Japanese so I tried to translate some of her blog. Please correct my mistakes if you see any! I guess my translation probably isn't the most accurate. I also deleted a lot of parts that I couldn't translate
I just thought it was cool that she shops at Costco because I do too Its my favorite store!

＼9月13日／
夕方コストコにいってきました！
I went to Costco this evening!

ママとおにいといきました
I went with Mama and Big Brother
パパはお仕事でした(>_<)
Papa had a big job to do (>_<)

食べ物をたくさん買いました〜♪
We bought a lot of food

Then she says things I couldn't translate 100% and starts talking about all the things on display at Costco. Then...

『日高昆布』
Hidaka Konbu
えぇ、日高昆布が陳列されてまして
Eeh, Hidaka Konbu was displayed! (Hidaka Konbu is a type of Konbu Seaweed from the Hidaka region of Hokkaido, but it is also Yuzuki's nickname )

レジが終わってから
After checking out at the register
食べ物食べれるところで
We went to eat food, so you know

Guys, great news!

Yuzuki has sold out 2 of her 4 handshake slots by the 5th round!!
This is really incredible! Kumazaki Haruka also sold 2 slots and Takeuchi Saki sold 1. Other than that though, there are no other Kenkyuusei who have sold out handshake slots!

So for now Yuzuki and Haruka are the two most popular 6th gens at handshake events! ;D

I'm going to try and translate some more of her blog entry, so here goes!

It was pouring rain incredibly...

Then she says things along the lines of
"Everyone who came, could you make it home safe?"

ゆづきは無事帰ってこれました☆
Yuzuki returned safely☆

The rest was pretty hard for me so I'll stop here

 

I'm going to do a bit of Yuzuki blog translation! But before I begin, I'm happy to report Yuzu sold 3/4 handshake slots! Her and Kumazaki Haruka were the two kenkyuusei to sell out the most

Now for Yuzuki's blog. As usual, please correct me if I messed up! First, this is how she begins every blog entry:

こんばんわわわわ Goooooooood Evening
おはよううううう Gooooood Morning
こんちにわわわわ Gooooood Afternoon

はい、 Yes,
みなさんボンジュール (￣ ￣ )ノ Everyone, Bonjour (￣ ￣ )ノ

Now, on to some blog!

あっちゅうまに”秋”ですねえ〜
We're into autumn now, eh?

まだ暑かったり寒かったりで
Its still hot, and its cold, and..
季節についていけない
I can't keep up with the seasons

ひだかゆづきでございます(°_°)
This is Hidaka Yuzuki (°_°)

Then she talks about the kanji "月", which means moon or month and it gets confusing. But that kanji, pronounced "ki" is in her name. So:

杏月レンジャーにも菜月ばあたんにも
Azuki-ranger and Natsuki too

”月”がついてるから3人合わせて
Have the character "ki" (moon) in their names

『トリプルムーン』っていうよ！☆
We will be "Triple Moon"!
みんな、トリプルムーンよろしく（笑）
Everyone, please take care of "Triple Moon" (haha)

That's all for now, it was starting to get confusing. But here is a report from a handshake event, from a fan who met Yuzuki!! She was wearing her hair pulled back

http://ameblo.jp/maruhon38/entry-11614383877.html

Fan: "You look good showing your forehead"
Yuzuki: "Aah, its a little bit embarassing though"
Fan: "Ok, so if it's not your favorite why wear it?
Yuzuki: "Well, if enough people like it then I'll try it out..."
Fan: "I'm responding to that request!"
Yuzuki: "Alright!"

 

More news on Yuzuki! A friend of mine has access to her mobile mail, so here's what is says!

Hidakakonbu mail： Sorry I didn't send out morning greeting Mail (´；ω；｀), anyway, time of loneliness just started.

That picture is so cute! Her black and pink checked shirt reminds me of the Ookami to Pride outfit

I think maybe by time of loneliness she meant that she had a break between handshake sessions though ^__^ Here is a picture of her (in the same outfit) from the event. The outfit isn't as cute in the full version hahaha
http://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/image-1162 ... 98720.html

She said her goal now is to work on her MC skills. I hope that brings more Yuzuki fans ^__^

Speaking of MC, in this stage MC she talked about her dream of being a ninja (hahaha). She got good cheers! Yuzuki moves positions often, but this one seems to really do the most for her. She has Namida no Shounan, 2nd spot in Koi no Plan, the Koi no Plan MC, and a good spot in Rio no Kakumei and JESUS. Good job, Yuzuki!

Well, it finally happened. Yuzuki is "officially" my SKE Oshimen! I'm proud to say I'm probably the biggest (and only) Yuzuki fan in America ;D

There was a recent performance I watched where Yuzuki subbed for Team E and her self introduction was is incredible. I've never heard such a loud Yuzuki call! And the audience was saying "Tebasaki, Kishimen, Histumabushi" along with her! And one fan even yelled "You're so cute!!"
I'm glad this adorable girl is gaining fans! ^__^

---
Edit: For the Kobe Concert, Yuzuki got to be one of the 7 girls in Aozora Kataomoi! And she had Churi's spot! ^__^

 

lol, i just saw the LOD yuzu really want to become a ninja
So funny, she's she trains to throw a shuriken
moreover she 's a SKE48 KSGK [rock]
her and ruka are Baka and KSGK of 6th generation [party] the new Yuria and Kumin..

 

I thought that part where she was demonstrating how to properly throw shuriken was hilarious!! She's really a character

Mahoushoujoari translated a portion of Yuzuki's blog entry! Here it is. I'm so happy for Yuzuki ^___^

One day, one day,

I got hungry so
I went to the convenience store…

And then one girl told me:

"Are you Hidaka Yuzuki-chan?
I came to watch the Stage the other day!”

Ohhh!! Incredible!!!

My face turned into some weird expression
because of the too overwhelming happiness and excitement.

So as I answered with a:

"Ehhh! Thank yoooou!!"

…she said:

"You were the one standing out and shining the most!!
Your expressions were great too!”

(°_°)

I was so happy that I
asked for I don’t know how
many times “Really!? Really!?!?”

Being told something like that
surely brought me confidence
and made me feel even more like wanting
to get better and better!!

It’s always been like this, but recently…

…I really like to deeply
think about the lyrics of the songs,

and then consider which expression
would be better to do and things like that.

Like this I’m able to realize a lot of things,
like “In this song it would be better to do like this…”

And being told those words by that girl
made me think that maybe I managed to
make use of what I learned

I’m still a novice,
but I’ll dedicate myself to my own improvement
so that I’ll be able to perform in a way that
would make you spontaneously look at me.

I've started a tumblr blog that I mostly post Yuzuki things in. There are a lot of gifs of Yuzuki made by tumblr users that I reblog there! ^__^
http://moomookan.tumblr.com/

 

a random picture Yuzuki and Ami [notme]
Yeah Yuzuki in team S today

 

I haven't posted here in forever! I've been busy running my Yuzuki fanblog

So much Yuzuki news to share! Firstly, Yuzuki has become pretty popular with fans. On Mixi she is the highest ranked 6th gen after Rion and Ryoha. Her handshake sales have been good, except her AKB 5th Album handshake... Otherwise though, Yuzuki is doing great.

She has continued subbing for Rena in Team E and she's also been performing with Team S! She has filled in Makiko and Kyoka's spots. I'm glad that she is getting the opportunity to perform with other teams

The Kenkyuusei are performing "Seifuku no Me". Yuzuki has Yukko's position, which is pretty good! I think she should have centered Omoide Ijou instead of Kuma-chan, but oh well

I translated her January 5 blog. Here it is!

2014 has begun!
But it doesn’t feel like it at all (haha)

But!
I went to my Grandma and Grandpa’s house for New Year
And I ate SO much mikan and omochi

I ate too much mikan
and it made my hands turn yellow…
and the trash can was filled with peels…
and I left behind all the white parts…

haha

Because that monster called “Stomatitis”
Appeared this month
I could take in a lot of vitamins from the mikan ☆

＼Kouhaku Uta Gassen／
It is the event to talk about!

Yuzuki, during the call-and-response
Was waving the red flag

Have you looked for it it?

I was in a noticeable place
So when I watched it on TV later
It was easy to find myself (haha)

Being able to appear…
Kouhaku is an incredible event after all
There are so many amazing artists
…
I’m really grateful!
I had a great experience!

And, and!
After a long time,
Along with NMB’s Akashi Natsuko, Matsumura Megumi, Odan Mai, and HKT’s Sakaguchi Riko,
We were able to meet with HKT’s Nakanishi Chiyori

It was my first time hanging out with Nakanishi-san
But it was very fun, as expected (haha)
We’ve become friends a little more ♪

＼January 5th／

Today was a kenkyuusei performance
But it was a bit different

Instead of “Aitakatta”, we performed “Seifuku no Me”

Honestly,

For many years, the seniors built this stage
So it is a very important stage
And we were able to continue it
I was really really happy
But there was also a lot of anxiety

But

It was fun!

There is also a performance tomorrowLooking back on the performance today,
I want to go with even more force tomorrow
And make it a great performance!

Everyone!
By all means! By all means!
Please come see our “Seifuku no Me” stage

Please look forward to seeing me perform in the future!
(I’ll do my best in the MC too, of course…)
I’m kidding〜♪(￣ー￣)

＼＼Yuzuki’s Question Corner／／
I’ll answer your questions!

Q: What units do you want to cover?
A: Tsundere, Itoshiki Natasha, Haru ga kuru made, Tengoku Yarou, Cross, Seifuku Resistance, Kuroi Tenshi

I also want to do “Arashi no Yoru ni wa” with Kitano Ruka (haha)

Q: What did you get for Chrismas?
A: Pressure socks and a 50-piece box of Karpas (Karpas are sort of like Slim Jim in America)

Q: What are your favorite animals?
A: Tiger, Capybara, Spotted Garden Eel, Shark

Then she shared one of her text messages like she always does, but I’m never able to understand those ^__^;;

So,

See you next week!
By Yuzuki

 

Everyone, Yuzuki has been promoted to Team KII! This is so great!! ^___^

Here is a video from the Discover Aichi program that she made with Kumazaki Haruka and Orito Aisa

Mod edit: removed dead video link

 

Yuzuki will be in the New Team KII Shonichi! Congratulations to Yuzuki. I hope she has a nice position

 

I saw her in the shonichi. Her dancing is absolutely crazy good, or at least it was in Usotsuki na Dachou. I really dislike that song and usually skip it but I ended up watching it all the way through just for her dancing.

 

I love that gif!

Yuzuki recently performed with the Kenkyuusei for the Upcoming Stage. She was in the Glass no I LOVE YOU unit and looked really cute! She never did it as a Kenkyuusei (back when they were doing the Aitakatta stage) so I'm glad she had the chance to do it now.

Request Hour is going on right now, and she was in Dareka no Sei ni wa Shinai! Man, that's such a cool song. I can't wait for the DVD to come out

 

I felt like translating Yuzuki's blog today, so here it is!

From the car window
With a propped elbow, looking out at the scenery
That kind of romantic side that comes out occasionally
It's there

It's Hidaka Yuzuki ＼(^ω^)／

It's especially nice in the evenings~

…………

This time I'm going to talk about
Tsuzuki Rika's birthday！

You know Rika,
She says I'm her 6th generation oshimen ヽ(；▽；)ノ♪

That's all (haha)

When we meet, she hugs me
And gives me attention, it makes me happy

The first time I appeared as an under
It was for Team E's Saka Agari stage
At that time, so many things were happening
I was really heasitant and anxious

But all the way up until the show started,
Rika was by my side
I remember her reassuring me ヽ(；▽；)ノ

The Saka Agari stage
Is still a very important stage to me

There were a lot of songs that I couldn't remember at all
For a while I had a bit of trauma (haha)

I love the Saka Agari Stage!!!

I have this strong feeling of "I want to do it again!"

Its kind of late but...
I think
I owe a lot to Rika.

Let's make it a good year♪

This month
There are a lot of birthday shows♪

Yuzuki's is... next year!
I can't believe there's still half a year to go ( °_° )

The flow of time
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
Let's go gradually into adult hood

So!

By Yuzuki

 

Yuzuki in her graceful appearance from Rikachu 755. lately I was somewhat was worried that Yuzuki/Ruka combo felt a bit far recently but they're still close like always.
And it look like Yuzuki is really aiming to fill the gap left behind by Yukko in KII even though she's more toward to loveable Kawaii-type rather than Beauty-type but I believe she carries the Yukko Soul and could totally make it as an KII ace candidate because she's already pretty popular on site in Nagoya while haven't really appeared much in magazine/tv.
And she did a pretty good job dancing Escape,Darkness,Okey Dokey in Yukko last stage and keep up pretty well with the stacked dance lineup.
Yukko also have a pretty high expectation on Yuzuki.

so cute

 

I'm so glad to hear that!
Yuzuki has mentioned that the dance instructor used to praise her back when the 6th gens had lessons together.

But if she wants to fill Yukko's role, she really needs to work on her MCs. She still seems really nervous and awkward during them.
I think she's funny as she is, in a cute and dorky sort of way, but to be kami-level it will take a lot of practice. I'm glad she's getting more popular in Japan though. If you look at Google+ follower count alone, Yuzuki is the 3rd highest 6th gen member! (after Ryouha and Rion).
