Bound to Team B.

 

best 3rd Draftee to get in

 

Same. Great girl. Picked my interest since the first SR.

Felt a little bit nervous when the draft went on without her name being called, but ultimately she got in much to her and my delight. Wonder when she'll get promoted and\or go on some TV show. I want to see her on Bingo.

12k SR viewers today after 3h. Double the number from last time.

 

Just watched those four videos about the girls practicing, she caught my eye from the very beginning! I understand very little japanese, but when talking she seemed thoughtful and she's definitely trying hard.

I'm late to the party and a n00b in all things idols, but I think she can go far.

*I assume it means she will follow through when she makes decisions.

I had to look up what a Euphonium is because I'd never heard of it before; it's a brass instrument.

 

Didn't familiarize myself with her before the draft, but after watching the videos linked above just now I can't wait to see her on stage and in TV shows!

Tends to curse and messy handwriting? It's like it was meant to be!

 

Yay! Congratulations!

I saw the instagram post by AKB and read "Draft 3" so I had to come online and check if there were more news, and yes! So exciting!

 

i think she looks a bit like Nogi's Kubo Shiori

 

I finally had the opportunity to watch her SR today! I've been meaning to ever since I found out when she's on, but I've been either working or been out of the house at that time every single day. My Japanese is so limited though that I really only understood that she was talking about colours and taking suggestions for something. I didn't vote but I definitely would have picked green

 

The shonichi for the Yukirin-produced stage for the Kenkyuusei was today! Well, yesterday by now in Japan
I couldn't watch it but I went through Twitter for pics, and omg her expressions are so good! Third and fourth pic especially; in #3 I didn't even recognize her first (I was all like "Wait, is that...? No, yes, no, YES!") and #4 floored me with the intensity! I'm betting she'll do well with dark songs, which is exactly the kind of songs I like

Pics #2 and #3 are from when Hitomi performed Blue Rose with Kurosu Haruka, Shouji Nagisa and Honda Sora.

 

Yay! Congratulations! I've heard her sing a bit on SR, but she doesn't really SING, more like... singing quietly so she doesn't disturb the neighbours. She needs breath support from what I've heard when she dances, but she doesn't have a terrible voice

 

^
How many times did you watch the Idol Syugyouchu stage at the theater?
25 for none

 

Toppachan is teaming up with fellow draftee Honda Sora for this year's Janken!

Was lowkey hoping for something like this, Honda Sora was one of the other girls who caught my eye during the draft

 

Fuck yeeeaaaahhhh~

Also wtf did she do to her bangs.

 

I haven’t watched an AKB stage in a hot minute (much less a kks/new gen stage) but I came across Toppachan’s Idol Shugyou Chuu seitansai and I was impressed. Is she always in the back row? When she smiles she reminds me of a young Yuko or maybe that’s just me Either way I will be watching out for her and for her and Sora’s janken unit

 

A whole 22 seconds of Hitomi's Romance Kakurenbo made it into the all song's digest the AKB youtube channel posted the other day. As someone who can't read Japanese I was pleasantly surprised when she popped up. Finally I got to hear her sing for real!
