Murashige Anna (Aanya) / 1st Generation

People sell them on yahoo auction Japan, ebay and I think you can occasionally get some on tumblr (for people who are more into buying handshakes rather than voting).

 

^^^ Not exactly sure how yahoo auction japan deal with foreign buyers. Since last year during election I had my friend in Japan buy me the election stuff and akb merchandise off yahoo auction and once she recieves them she sents it to me. Though I don't want her to go through all that again... , since it seemed like a real pain, and she's not even into AKB...

So if you have a way to buy off yahoo auction japan, it'll be nice. Though from what I understand, yahoo auction is for japan only

 

It is, but you can use a shipping service - so what your friend did, but a professional business. Last year I managed to get some extra votes from people here, so just stalk the 36th single and sousenkyo threads and you might be able to do the same!

But trust me, plenty of people will be selling them. Check in people's stores here, in the threads, on tumblr, and ebay. It'll be easy

 

The HKT girls designed their own oshimen shirts here http://p.blt.tv/goods/hkt48_tshirts_01/index.html for sale next month. I want Murashige's I think it is funny ^_^

 

I really like Murashige Anna. The Mentaiko gag is seriously funny!

in case someone is wondering what's written on the shirt means

 

@MidoriHime, sorry for the late reply. But thank you very much for the information [hi5]

@Sakura, lol hilarious shirt.

 

Found a funny pic of Anna M. from the Olympic stadium concert....

Hey Onion- head why so sad? - lol

 

^ I'm guessing that rain. But somehow, she made that look of hers in that raincoat look so cute lol.

 

Aanya's posts from today... that pikmin stuff is so typical for her .
And as always, she drawns Saku-chan into doing weird stuff, too !

It's so nice to see Shige and Sakura doing things together. For some reason I always imagine Shige coming up with this stuff and then trying to convince Sakura to do it. Shige would be like "Come on, let's go on stage wearing horse masks, it'll be fun!", and Sakura would be like "Well, I don't know..."

 

Haha same here! Besides, I more think of Sakura being like "Well... whatever, let's have some fun!".
She always looks really happy when doing silly stuff together with Aanya .

 

^ Sakura does strike me as the 'whatever type' tbh
But I think she enjoys being with Anya even though she thinks that Anya can be annoying >w< She also seems to be having fun.

 

Absolutely! I was really looking forward to seeing her in that costume and it did not disappoint.
I'm really eager for the new N and KIV stages, new units for Anna!
The only reason I wouldn't want Hakata Legend to end is Chori.

Anyway, there's a few pictures of Aanya with NMB members, I hope she's getting along well.

 

Aanya should be in good hands over in Namba! Best choice for her, really

Anyway... because I thought those posts are really funny, I just had to do them:

OMG she look cute in the kokoten costume,yep can't wait to see her perform with team N,hoping she can learn a lot about MCing from other members

 

Aanya looks really nice in NMB outfit

Did Aanya perform with NMB48 then

@Sadia23, thanks for the translations

 

Yes, she was in NMB's concert at the Saitama Super Arena last Saturday! I think it was her first activity as member of Team N. A couple of pictures:





Anyone knows if she was in any unit?

 

^^^ Whoa nice, she looks amazing in the last picture

Thank you very much for the pictures

 

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!! I had not seen that first pic. How the fu** did I miss a two shot with Yukirin and Annya.

Great pics there @DreamingPebbles. Annya sure does look good in NMB. And I would be willing to bet my house she sounds good in their songs, too.

 

During NMB concert, i really felt that Annya was way much more quieter than usual. She was tense and didn't interact as much as she could have in an HKT concert. My guess is that she was very impressed by the "mature" tone NMB48 has. She realized it's quite hard to play the silly character when most of the girls next to you are "Kakkoi" (pretty). Next to young/cute girls it's fun, next to NMB girls you are kind of ridicule.

Fujie Reina and Yukirin are actually experimented and pretty member of AKB, so they didn't felt the problem that Annya has. Also, it made me realize that Annya, despite being half, does have a strong sense of respect like japanese, as she was keeping a low profile next to NMB members. It's not being "restrained" per say, but more to give priorities to her sempai or waiting for sempais to give her signal to take initiative. Annya is actually a smart girl.

I think Annya's fans should really thanks Yamamoto Sayaka on this one. She noticed Annya's uneasiness during the concert and asked her to come in her mobile platform (it allow the members to cross the arena a little bit faster without being exhausted) and sing with her. She put her arm around her shoulder in a very friendly way to relax her. I really think Annya was super impressed by Sayaka's aura and this move really made her feel better and she started singing as usual.

Even after the NMB concert i'm not fully confident on how well Annya will do in NMB, but If Sayaka open her arms for Annya, then everyone will give her a chance. Let's keep being positive about this kennin position.
