Congrats to Shibui!! She will be in senbatsu for the first time for HKT's 17th single!! She's also the only KKS in senbatsu this time (the other 4 from 6th gens are promoted members). This is really a big achievement for her. and she's still very young, only 14 years old. At around 16:00 in the announcement video: if the video does not show watch the video here She wrote on Twitter: "It has been decided that the 17th single will be released! This time, I have been selected as a senbatsu member for the first time. Thank you so much to all the fans who always support me ;_; I will work hard in my own way as a senbatsu member, which I dreamt to be. I will count on your support!"
Interview for the parasports event 'Sports of Heart': if the video does not show watch the video here
I recently found this video of Shibuichan from before she joined HKT: if the video does not show watch the video here This is from 2018! She was 9 years old at that time? and it's at an HKT concert, she did a high-five to Toyonaga Aki :O This was probably recorded by her mom or something. Shibui is so cute there aw ;w; The end of the video has another video of Shibui and Aki doing a high-five at the HKT theater now, they probably did it because of this past video lol. So Shibui was a HKT fan since long ago! Apparently, her oshimen was Hana. I remember that during 6th gen auditions, there was a TV report about the candidates, and one of them had Hana as oshimen... and it looks like it was Shibui! I remember watching that report but I didn't remember the faces of the candidates at all, so I didn't know, but it was her lol. it's nice to know that she's been supporting HKT since long ago when she was a kid >.< She must really care about the group. and now she's in senbatsu ^^ She will have a bright future in HKT
