Takayanagi Akane (Churi) / 2nd Generation

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^Yay~! Churi! (Also, thank you for posting in here because most of the time, this thread is dead. xD) I love Churi's hair, but I could say, most of the time it's like that, right? Lol...Churi is so cool and cute though. Though I didn't know what they were saying in the first video, I still watched it because it's SKE48 and especially Churi was in there which is pretty awesome. I love the second video though!!! That's really interesting and cool how she got to throw and pitch. Ooohhhh....I'm glad they chose her. I love Churi, as always.

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

I really like this hairstyle of Churi, and no that wasn't her usual hairstyle (normally she wouldn't have that "high" part on her hair don't know how to call it ). I wish she'd keep this hairstyle forever tho

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

Here's a translation of Akane's post-election blog entry, as requested by kata.

(゜◇゜人゜Θ゜){With positive frustration and upward-facing ambition.

Spoiler

The first thing
I want to say is...!

“Thank you
so much!!”




Once again,
thank you all so much
for your comments!



I’m sorry
for being so late at updating. (´；ω；｀)

After the election,
I had a little more work to do;


I’m sorry for making you wait!

I’m sure there are some people
who are already asleep...

But there’s something
I really want to say
today,

so just for today, please forgive me
for updating at this time.



This might turn into a long entry,
but if you’d like,
please read it until the end. ＊




Th election
has endeddd. (-.-)=3


I was so, so
nervous (´・ω・｀)!!



When I was sitting down,
my hands and legs were shaking
just like last year. (lol)



My result:

“23rd place.”


Thank you so much.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Really, thank you so much!




No matter how many times
I say “thank you,”
it’ll never be enough；


And just a blog entry
won’t cut it!!


What I really want to do
is to go to all the fans

who supported me right now
and say “Thank you”!



But I can’t,
so please allow me to convey what I can
through this blog.




23rd place.
11,674 votes.


Just with that,
everyone’s feelings,

just like Yuko-san said,

made me feel so loved
and warmed my heart.




Last year,
I was in 35th with 2,030 votes.


Today,

I was in 23rd place
with 11,674 votes.



That’s about 5 times as many.

It’s really more than I ever imagined.



I’m a little frustrated
that I couldn’t achieve my goal of entering senbatsu.


But I’m not sad at all.


Even if I’m frustrated,

I feel
even happier. (^ω^)



You guys
aren’t sad, are you?

Please don’t feel
like you have to say sorry to me.



I want to see
you all smiling. (・ω・)


I don’t want to make you all sad.



I’m happy
that you all felt frustrated
with me!

But I want to have positive frustration
and upward-facing ambition.


So
please smile
and don’t be sad. (^ω^)



Everyone,
thank you so much
for fighting with me to the end!


But that won’t be the last one.

From now on,
let’s keep on aiming higher together.



Thank you so much
for this round.



Well...

Among those who saw it at the venue
or at the movie theaters
or checked the official site
and saw it
or heard about it,


I’m sure there are people
who know about this,



but I called out

“I know you’re busy,

but please let me say this
for the KII members
and the fans
who are supporting KII:




Please give us a new performance!”



to
Akimoto-sensei.




I had decided
that if I was elected to senbatsu,
I would say it.



Before the election,
some of the KII members
came to me and said
“Talk about KII, okay? ♪” as a joke,


but I decided in my heart
to do it.



Well, it looks like
none of them expected me
to be so straightforward
at a place like that,

so when I yelled that,
apparently all the KII members
cried at once.



I really surprised everyone. (lol)



Akimoto-sensei
was actually there, after all,

and I really wanted to tell him
how we all felt, so...




After the election,


the SKE48 members
and staff members

and a lot of other people said

“You sure told him!!”

to me,
so I felt that
I wasn’t wrong in saying that to him.



And when
the KII members said

“Akane-chan, thank you,”

that made me happier
than anything else.



Thank you
to you all, too.

I’m sure our feelings got across.
Let’s believe and wait. (・ω・)



And lastly, once again,


thank you very much.

I will treasure
the wonderful position

that I’ve been given today.



For my friends
who feel frustrated
that they weren’t able to stand on that stage today, too.



I’ll work my hardest
so I can

repay you all
in Under Girls!!


Please watch me!!!!



And hopefully someday,
I’ll be able to move up higher...!!



Thank you so much!


This turned out really long,
but thank you very much
for reading it.



I’m so happy

that I can smile

right now.


(鳥 T y To)っ゛Churi

I think my love and respect for Akane shot up after reading this. She's such a devoted and gutsy girl. She's the perfect KII captain in my book. ♥

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^Me too, i thought before they put her as captain for popularity, but it's starting to seem like it was because it suits her.

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

churii~~~

she's so happy and positive! -love-

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

Just as I said in the other thread, Churi is really showing her quality as a leader, afterall they didn't make her captain for nothing. If you read other KII members' blog as well they were all really happy about what Churi did on the stage.

And indeed, KII really need an original stage for them, how long have they been performing Te wo Tsunagi Nagara already? Come on AkiP.

My feeling for Churi has been up and down lately, I used to like her so much, then not much at all but I guess now she's coming back to be my #1 oshimen, way to go Churi! Let's fly to the sky yay!

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

My favorite use of speech time! I am so proud of Churi for calling out Akimoto-sensei on KII3. She basically voiced the frustrations of KII fans, her KII teammates and maybe even some SKE staff. In that place, in that format, in front of Aki-P and all those people - that takes courage. That's showing some leadership for you. I was so impressed when I heard. If nothing else, I have so much more respect for her now.

Oricon even wrote an article about it the day after:
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/deview/88705/

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

Oh my goodness! Even though her blog post was so long, that was really fun to read. I love her little thing in her blog post though and the pictures. Really cute and funny. I'm still so happy that she moved up 12 places though. My sister said 13 first then 12. But, that is so many places! Still...I wish she got center for UG. That would be awesome. We would get to see her more though, so we will be happy, lol! KII should really get a stage though. XD LOL.

I thought about thumbnailing this, but it just didn't have the same effect.

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^
omg~ churi!!! that picture is so cute

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^
^To me right now in Churi's thread, it doesn't matter about the thumb nailing since that picture is so adorable and cute of Churi in her bird costume! She looks so cute. I love Churi whenever she wears a bird outfit or anything similar else to that! LOL.

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

Then you should watch AKB to XX ep 9 or 10 I forgot but she was a bird mascot giving gift balloons to children in a mall, man she was really happy to be able to wear a bird costume, she even did the Banzai Venus dance in the costume . Churi = INSANE CUTENESS

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^Seriously?! I wanna watch that episode now. I wish I were one of those children, so I could be able to see her. Aaaahhhhhh!!! Churi is so adorably cute! I can't believe she even danced to Banzai Venus too! Lol! I'm actually more interested to look in at more birds now because of Churi. Thanks for telling me the information though!

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

I think I'm starting to like Akane more and more all the time (though my SKE oshimen is still Airi ♥) :3

She's so cute and I love her voice ~ ♥ And I was pretty surprised that she was 23rd in Senbatsu. But it's a good thing of course. :3

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

It was Ep.10. Here it is on Youku.

Churi leads Kanon and Manatsu against AKB and NMB teams.

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^Thaank you so much for the episode of Churi in it!!!!!!!!!! Though I wonder if my sister has it. XD I think she does since she has a lot of episodes, but I don't pay attention to which episodes there are. Sucks that there aren't any subtitles....I wish there were subtitles for every episode, but too much work. ^^; Oh well...

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

I don't understand what they're saying lol But thanks for sharing anyways! I never really follow ske, until recently and I'm trying to learn their names...
I know the middle girl is Churi, and the girl on the right... is it Lily? I'm not sure who's the girl on the left though, can someone enlighten me?

 

Re: Takayanagi Akane / Team KII

^Yeah, you are right about Churi being in the middle. Because she used to by my old SKE oshi. ;___; And the one on the right I think is Ogiso Shiori and the one on the left is. T__T IDK. She looks so familiar though~ But my guess is Sato Mieko? XD FAIL. I really don't know. D:
