SAKAMOTO ERENA Team: KKS Generation: 3rd Name: Sakamoto Erena (坂本愛玲菜) Nickname: Eretan (えれたん) Birthdate: September 12th, 2000 Birthplace: Fukuoka Height: 147cm
After watching the Pajama Drive perfomances I can say that Eretan is the one that catches my eye the most in the third generation! She has a really contagious smile and her perfomance is very energetic. Also, the way she says "Lady Gaga-san" is so cute!
i realized when i watching 3rd gen performing sukahira in the hkt anniv lod that i kept noticing eretan the most, her face looked so sweet & gentle. her smile was adorable too...i instantly took interest in her. so anyway i watched parts of the hkt kks stage & it seems like eretan is a pretty good dancer. she's very smiley too & so small!! she totally captured my heart hehe ahhh also yuutan/eretan honehone was soooo cute!! ; A ; i really can't wait to see more of her! eretan with mina
I agree with above, she did quite well! She was a little shy and nervous during MC and when the other girls try to interact with her, but I guess it is natural At the end when tani dragged in the center for the final salute, at first she seems quite terrified "what is this crazy girl doing!" another nice debut overall! ah and she is small! at some point chiizu goes near her and she is taller, then Minazou butts in to prove the point
I was so happy to see her debut! She really has the cutest smile. I think she is quite an expressive dancer, even if she was very nervous you could tell she was really enjoying herself during the dance numbers (and then she froze during MC, which is natural). I can't wait to see her tackle the other units, though we'll probably have to wait a while. Also very cute: how Yuriya Nee-san has taken Eretan and Misaki under her wing. Amateur GIFs of Eretan's debut
^ ah the gifs are very cute ty for making them!! also eretan is going to perform again on the 12th!! im super excited hehe & eretan's first photoset
I think Chiizu is really happy that she's not the smallest girl in the group anymore. Finally watched Eretan's debut. For some reason I think her face is a little funny, I can't explain why. She did ok, she managed to dance in synch with the other girls and didn't stand out in a bad way. She was very nervous and self-conscious, but I guess this is to be expected.
when she is smiling her teeth is really cute. lol, and she did really good performance. i am often skipping hone hone waltz when watching nounai paradise but i was watching her hone hone waltz from beginning to the end of it. she is really cute and great performer. she is on my radar now.
Yeah she has really crooked teeth, maybe that's it. Enhances the kid aura. And when she smiles her eyes get small too. To be honest, I wouldn't recognise her if you showed me a picture of her laughing widely and her profile picture alongside. I didn't watch her debut but I did watch her 2nd perf. on 131212 and she didn't really seemed that nervous or self-conscious anymore. She performed Honehone (which I never skip, it grew on me) in a convincingly, as far as one can dance Honehone convincingly. Also, her MC was quite funny this time around. The content itself or length wasn't the source, she talked about P-chan's parrot and how it's very cute. But because she fluently called her "P-chan" as a tiny 13-year old to a 17-year old senpai. Everybody was super shocked and she just had an airheaded face going on, seemingly not noticing why everybody was shocked. Afterwards she just continued and kept using "P-chan" dispite the hilarity.
I agree that was quite hilarious! All the others girls kinda shocked that she goes without the -san and her going on withe her speech like nothing happens...
Alright Eretan. Saw your second performance of Honehone Waltz. All I could think was 1. TOO CUTE!! 2. Eretan is doing much better than her first, solid show. You have my attention. What are you going to do with it? *Edit Wrong person in photo. Removed said image.
I think what happened at that MC with Piichan was a little different. I think Eretan is saying that her parrot is called Piichan (she says "inko no piichan", while "Piichan's parrot" would be "piichan no inko"), and the girls are teasing Piichan because she has a bird's nickname. That's why Piichan flaps her arms like a bird, and why on the beginning of her MC she says she's a different Piichan ("betsu no piichan"). I could be wrong though.
Oh alright, that's probably it then. The subsequent hilarity and clueless Erena still holds in that case too.
my japanese comprehension never cease to amaze me well i guess this make more sense than her being "rude" to her senpai. thanks DP!
I finally got to watch her second show, I really really like the happy face she makes when she's performing. The MC was pretty funny, with the whole Piichan confussion. I felt bad for her when she had to skip Wink wa Sankai, I think her shoelaces were untied and the girls sent her backstage (she tried to fix them on the spot, I think they are not allowed to deal with those things in front of the audience). She looked quite sad when she finally came out again. But well, those kinds of things are bound to happen. Now I have to watch the one with the third gen invasion I'm really looking forward to Eretan/Misaki Honehone. More Eretan GIFs
Oh so that's what happened. I found it strange that she was sent away. Well, better than tripping and falling flat on your face. Thanks for the gifs. Now it seems that our Erena has a bit of an addiction lol. Read for yourself. Favorite food: Pizza-man. (ピザまん) (tln: This, like a Nikuman, a pork bun, but with pizzastuffing instead of pork, invented in 1979.) The cheese inside it is delicious, I love it. I always eat them on the way home from lessons. What do you like to do during vacations: I mostly play volleyball with my friends on the playground. If the weather's bad I like to explore the school (tln: Exploring the school during a vacation??) By the way, my volleyball serve is the best. Special skill: Piano. I have great fun playing it and there are always a lot of new songs to learn. If you compare yourself to an animal, which one would it be: A monkey. Because I like banana's and monkeys eat a lot of banana's. What do you do before you go to sleep: Stretch. I'm small now and I want so get taller soon. I stretch every day so I can grow faster. Your techiques against the cold: Pizza-man. Of course I love them but it's because of the warm cheese inside that they're good to eat when it's cold outside. Senior I respect in the 48group: Itano Tomomi. I really want to be a 'fashion leader' as well in the future. She's cool and has a beautiful face. My recent trend: Loving Pizza-man, I can keep eating them endlessly. I'm trying to figure out where I can find other kinds of delicious Pizza-man. Something you would like to challenge in the future: I want to wakeboard. I think it really hurts to fall on your face while you are doing it, but I guess it also strenghtens your resolve to take revenge on the next go.
Erena fanart! One in Honehone and one with a huge Pizza-man! Both are by the amazing @rinaichigo714 who does a lot of amazing HKT artwork, including 'official' birthday stuff! These ones were gifted by her to a Erena-oshi over in Fukuoka.
Those are some sweet fanart. Really love the Honehone Waltz one! So those went to a fan? If so, I be real jealy right now. Now I gotta see this. Maybe a Muchibari - Volleyball Edition? I can personally attest that, yes, it really does hurt to wreck face first while wakeboarding. Apparently Eretan seems to be a bit of the sporty type. Nice! She just may rank pretty high for me.
@DeJure Thank you so much for the interview and the fanart! Now I definitely want to try this "pizza-man"! It's so cute that she named them in 3 different answers. I love the fanart as well, it's nice to see some Eretan love.
