Katayama Haruka (Haachan) / 3rd Generation

Poor tokulus, i always enjoyed your haachan summaries.
As for Ayarin, i hope for a special grad ceremony at a concert.

 

Dammit. Another 3rd gen gone...I'm assuming Tanamin will be graduating soon too. I'm so glad Junjou Shugi was able to rank so high
at RH. I'll miss you Haachan!

 

Nooooooo :'( I was secretly hoping she would stay one more year :'( This is so saddening :'(

EDIT: Please someone translate this hertbreaking video

 

Sad to see that she is going to graduate but hopefully she'll be able to move forward with whatever she wants to do in the future. I'll miss her updates on Google+ when she does finally go though.

 

Ah, poor Tanamin and Yukirin. I always liked having Haachan around. At least she'll keep performing until September even after then eventual move to Team A.

Good luck with your Theater Musical acting career.

 

Haachan is one of those members who deserve our uttermost respect. She's been a member since the formation of Team B, but has never been in senbatsu. Nevertheless she's always worked very hard, gave her most during her performances (that were always top-notch) and did it all with a smile on her face. She was one of those member who eventually knew she wasn't likely to make it to the top and helped build AKB as a Theater Girl.
For that I will never forget her and I think she will remain one of the top members of AKB48 in the fans' hearts. Haachan, thank you.

 

I have always liked Hacchan and her voice, and Haemon of course. It's sad to hear two 3 gen grad announcements back to back, but all the best to Hacchan, she is under appreciated in this environment but I'm sure she's ready for challenges such as stage acting ahead.

 

THANKS A LOT .

No, I'm just kidding. I am pretty upset at this announcement because she is one of the most talented girls in AKB48 now. When she leaves I don't think I can watch the other girls try to replace her in Junjou Shugi .

 

**** I spoke too soon! Did I jinx us?! oh well was somewhat prepared for it at least.

Thanks for the pictures dude, yep that was kind of a relief, can make sure my fan letter I had been writing her for her birthday gets sent to her fast now!

Also here is video of that end of the theater performance tonight, its unlisted but lol its all over the place now.

if the video does not show watch the video here

Shiichan looked so tore up, Yukirin was doing okay, I bet you she had spoken with Yukirin some in recent times about possibly graduating, Umechan was okay too. At least Haachan will be able to ease out of AKB48 and get more new work! Anyone else have any good ideas of what ya think she might be going to be doing when she graduates? Maybe more work in plays and performances? TV hosting and guest staring? Not so sure about her singing as in making it a career, though I love her singing

 

lol Please if you could since you are over there help with putting together a graduation message committee, I will begin working on helping with that myself today. Should we go with something like a photobook of the messages if we go with that? If you get to see her tell her we all still support her and will be fans of her after she leaves AKB48.

lolol yeah she cried pretty hard, I think a few of course such as Yukirin and Umechan knew, and others may have figured it would be announced sooner than later, but a couple of them were balling reminds me last night I rewatched Shimada Rena's NMB48 Team M final graduation performance, that was rough. Wonder how Haachan's will go. I had kinda figured that was what she said about being on stage when I watched it, makes sense! I wonder if then she could end up on any American stages doing musicals over here? Rare but you never know, from what I understand it could happen she could get such a chance, and this makes it easier to formulate future chances to see her live or even congratulate her for her hard work in person.

She may very well put together a twitter feed, or her own blog or g+ page again once she does leave, very good possibility of that!

 

It seems the 3rd generation members have started following the footsteps of their seniors. It always feel awful to see members you once painstakingly tried to know started leaving the group.

We should just look at the positive side of this, how about another HarukAmina stage performance again!

 

Aww no! I can't believe she'll graduate soon.
I can't believe that Ayarin and Haachan have announced their graduations so close to each other. #OriginalTeamBbonds
I really like Haachan too! I like her singing, dancing, and energy in her performances.
I've seen her several times on AKBINGO; she's pretty funny too.
Not to mention, she looks great in the Kondo Koso Ecstasy PV (then again, I think she always looks great ).

I have a 2 shot ticket with Haachan on June 15. #Icantwait

 

no, i mean, i knew it was coming with her not participating in the election, but it still hurts so much

but i really do hope her all the best, i hope that she'll fulfill her dreams

it's sad she wasn't in any senbatsu even though she is a ori B member, but i know her future is bright and i wish her all the best, Ayarin too

 

This morning(Tuesday time Japan) Haachan updated g+ with a note about her graduation! We have 6 months until her final graduation performance, and she is going to go for what I had suspected, staring on stage in musicals and shows!

おはよう！
昨日の公演で卒業発表をしました！

AKB48としての7年間、数え切れないくらい色々な事を経験したし、
沢山学ぶこともありました。
劇場公演からスタートしドラマや
バラエティー、ラジオ、舞台など
本当に日々成長の場を頂いてました。

AKBとして活動していくうちに
舞台のお仕事にとても魅力を感じ
歌って踊って演技して
みんなで作り上げていく作業や
生ならではの緊張感が
とっても怖くて不安だけど好きで。

それでいつの間にか自分が
一番やりたい事が
「ミュージカル女優」
だなって思うようになりました！

AKBを離れ外の世界へ行ったら
大変なことも辛いこともこれから
たくさんあると思います。

今までとは全然違う環境で揉まれて
また一回り大きくなった一人前の
片山をお見せできるように、
帝国劇場のセンター
ミュージカル界のセンターを取りに
行くつもりで頑張ります！

最終公演まで約半年ありますが
それまでは今まで通りなので変わらず片山の応援をよろしくお願いします！"

Still a bit too worked up to do any real translating so I just let google do it...

"Good morning!!
I had a graduation announcement in the performance yesterday!

And to have experienced many things about seven years as AKB48, countless,
There was also to learn a lot.
I had gotten a place of growing day by day really variety and drama, radio, and stage started from theater performances.

It's anxiety fear is very tension of raw unique work or build up together with acting dancing singing feel very attractive to your stage work while I worked as a AKB but I like it.

So that I want to do most is all too soon "musical actress"
I now I think it'll be it!

I think that a lot from now on that thing also very painful and I went to the world of off-off the AKB.

In order to be able to show you a full-fledged Katayama was slightly larger also been rubbed in an environment very different and until now,
I'll try with the intention of going to take the center of the center of the musical world empire theater!

There are about half a year until the final performance, but thank you for your support of Katayama unchanged because it is as before until it! "

Though I still kind of feel like this... I am also happy though because it does free her up in terms of what she wants to do, and I think it shows she does have some work ready for her when she leaves, hopefully her agency is able to help get her good work!

 

And another beloved 3rd gen is leaving. Well I have enjoyed watching her on stage and in the various AKB shows she has been on. And all those beautiful and fun moments with Yukirin!!!! I wish her well in her future endeavors, and that she finds something she can be happy and excited about. Goodluck Haachan!!!!! Though I may be sad to hear of your decision to graduate, I will still root for you! I will treasure the next 6 months!

 

Though she'll still be around till September, I'm gonna miss Haachan when she leaves. She's one of those members who make shows like AKBINGO and Nemousu interesting just by being her Showa self. It seems like it's her dream to do stage work, so good on her for chasing after her dreams. Tanamin really looks affected by her announcement and seems to have been quite surprised by it. Wakanyan tore up as well; she must have been close to Haachan.

Even though it's expected and inevitable, it's always sad when members, especially the seniors start graduating. In this case a 3rd Gen. Wish you the best on your chosen path, Haachan.

 

Hey dude long time no talk! hope all the Yukirin oshis over on yall's thread are doing great, I haven't been over there in a while.. I am going to miss seeing those two together, but yep your right we will be rooting for her always!

Always so many hilarious moments I have collected almost or at least every AKBINGO!, Nemousu, and AKB Shukan episode with her, she may not be a variety queen but that Showa image works wonders and I love it

Some hilarious moments...

Shukan

AKBINGO! Also yall she did star in a Honesty Chess battle!

shows like AKB kanko taishi!

and there was her show as well!
