Iwata Karen (Karen) / 12th Generation

Nope, but I have seen that clip. It was glory! Can't wait to watch the rest of it.

As I said on tumblr.. "No wonder why she was chosen as a seiyuu for AKB0048"

 

Preliminary result's out and... Karen hasn't ranked in. Kind of expected but still I feel sad. I wonder if she barely has hardcore wota supporting her (which is usually the case with talented members)

 

MAJISUKA?

 

I'm anxiously waiting for my 3 copies to vote for her............... [sweat]

 

I voted for Karen! Only 1, but its better than nothing. I don't think she'll make it this year, but I'm very confident she will rank 2-3 years from now.

I can still feel the heat from yesterday seitansai ～(´ェ｀)

I brought Sayaka-san surprise letter home and read it again, and cried again www

Spoiler

I never expecting it, so I’m so so happy

Sayaka-san performance, and her manner

as a person, as a female, I respect her alot

And then, last year I had many worries. Due to my self-incompetence, I create unexpected misunderstanding and end up giving many of you unnecessary concern.

I’ll take those trouble and hardship as my lesson

But even so, ever since that time, I still can’t comprehend

How do you convey your gratitude to people who support you?

What is fanservice actually?

I always watch other girls doing their fanservice, but if I do those, won’t that just lead them to misunderstand me

So at handshake event, I just act with moderate and mild-mannered attitude

I understand how when people don’t have anything to talk about, they could feel pressured

At such troubled times, of course the one who carried me is none other than my fans

Worries after worries after worries, and even tears

but when I casually check Google+ I received many comments

[I believe you]

[I’ll be waiting you]

These words, always helped me regain my own footing

I’m deeply grateful

The person I am now, is all thanks to you

This year, without letting my concentration puzzled by unnecessary thoughts, I’ll work hard by believing in myself

I will polish my performance more and more！With more stoic！

To people who support me since my Zenza girl debut, to people who support me just recently, to people who interested although I’m not your number one oshi, I will work harder and move forward

And then,

for those [Iwata? Not interested ( ´,_ゝ｀)ﾌﾟｯ] people, I’ll be happy if they could hold interest even just a little www

Saa！Tomorrow, after quite a while, Team 4 re-assemble

And Boku no Taiyou kouen too！

Other members are full of spirit already←

We’ll burn the house down www

To you Team 4 oshi！！

To you who have been waiting for it！！

Tomorrow will be Team 4 historical, no no no, AKB hottest kouen ever in history

Wait for us TDC！！(｀・ω・´)

 

Same here, also only one vote. Who know, maybe those 2 votes will make the difference?

 

I have a friend who have voted for Karen 2x!!

Meanwhile my copies should be arrived this weekend... hopefully [sweat]

 

I just watched Ripopo's last Team A perf LOD MC part and when I looked at Karen, I suddenly noticed that she looks like Horikita Maki. [blush] And lol to her Manga-ish sound effects I'm always amazed on it.

 

hello it's been a while i'm not around here busy with work and JKT48 handshake event ,so i rarely check karen's G+ to update her activities adn news

i'll get my copy of sayokuro on monday and i'll make sure i'll vote for karen hopefully she'll get rank on saturday

 

Voted for her. With these:


Try copy them if you can

 

Nice! I was only able to get one vote, unfortunately. I hope she ranks this year!

 

^ I hope so!!!

Her chance is really slim as she doesn't really receive any push, unlike Tanochan haha

Anyway, I watched her seitansai LOD yesterday and... hehe Tanochan was the one who gave a call for the bday part. Karen's unrequited love.

And the end of comment part:

Poor Karen.

 

^ The birthday stages LOD are great, with the recoding focusing most on the girl having the birthday.

And hmm, seems like Karen's mom recorded her singing during bath again XD, posted on her google plus.

 

You know what, AKB should do parents sousenkyo
I bet her mom will get Kami7 easily

 

Mamatasu

Karen can really sing though, we already knew that but still..

Can't wait for her to get a push towards senbatsu in a year or so. Fortunately she's still so young, sometimes I tend to forget

 

She's still very young indeed, hopefully she won't just fade to the background

LOL, Iwata-mama I love you

 

Her mom is awesome but if Karen would be upset by this she wouldnt upload the video on her google+ so probably she doesnt mind
her voice is so beautiful

 

This wasn't the first time stalker mom struck.
I liked Hashire Pengin more.

 

Actually the video was posted on google+ by her mother. Here is a translation of the post and few comments (btw this fanblog is really great, translating every single of her posts in google plus). From it seems her mom sneaked in Karen's room in the early morning while she was sleeping to post it. I guess Karen must leave her G+ account always signed in or the password saved at the browser.
