Murashige Anna (Aanya) / 1st Generation

TV personality Anna Murashige (村重杏奈) just graduated from the Japanese idol group HKT48 in December 2021. However, the 23-year-old Murashige is now in the spotlight again for a different reason: She was subject to hurtful online comments for no other reason than her parentage.

Murashige appeared on the March 17 broadcast of "news zero" (NTV) in a segment on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. According to NetLab, she explained that she has relatives in Russia as well as friends in Ukraine. She then said: "It is very painful to see on the news that the country where I was born and raised is at war every day. I believe that war should never be fought under any circumstances. I wish for peace as soon as possible from Japan."

Commenting on her appearance in the show on her Twitter account, she then made the following disturbing revelation: "I've tried to not mention it too much and not concern myself with it but lately, I have been getting some nasty comments."

Her tweet:

However, she followed this up with a statement seemingly directed at those who had sent her hurtful comments, perhaps under the mistaken impression that her mere parentage somehow indicated that she supported war: "I am of the same mind that there should be no war for any reason. I hope for peace as soon as possible."

Not something you want to be known for. Just as Kawaei Rina is known for being the Baka Center for finishing last in the Mecha mecha iketeru! AKB48 Kimatsu Test, Aanya has made her mark for her last place finish on Fuji TV's "Calling Teacher Tanaka First 3 Hours SP" test.

Anna Murashige "7 x 12 = 24"
This time, 15 guest celebrities took the test. She challenged seven subjects, including Japanese, math, science, and society. She said, "A marathon runner passes 2 kilometers in 8 minutes, how many kilometers per hour?" Is "16,000 kilometers per hour."

Where 7 subjects and 540 points are perfect, Murashige was the lowest with 112 points. During the broadcast, "Calling Teacher Tanaka" and "Mecha-Mecha Ike" were trending on Twitter.

Update: found a better story (doing math on your fingers is not a good sign)

EDIT:
I couldn't figure out how she got 24, but looking at the picture, I think she multiplied 7 times the 2 in 12 to get 14, then carried the one in the 10s place and added it to the 1 in 12, basically switching to addition in the middle of the problem. Note the little 1 next to the 1 in 12.

 

I just found out Miichan and Norokayo were on that program as well .... Miichan: "I should have studied harder" probably says it all

t.b.h. I would have expected Murashike to make those forward and backwards rolls
(and the look on Miichan's face as that guy build like a gymnast took off his jacket and showed off his muscles .... I guess she liked what she saw )

 

You totally can see the resemblance, they really look alike
