Sashihara Rino Transferred to HKT48

Few days ago an article popped out about Sashihara Rino having a boyfriend and that she sent nude pictures to him. Today at ANN, Sasshi denied sending such pictures but she didn't deny he was her friend either.

And just a few moments ago at ANN, Aki-P announced that Sasshi will now transfer to HKT48. Rather than penalty like suspension, Sasshi will be transferred to HKT like a reset.

I have no idea what he is trying to do. This  isunfair to both Sasshi and HKT48. HKT being used like a punishment method, while Sasshi who has worked hard for AKB being transferred like this. Even though Sasshi was the one at fault, it also feels like HKT is being punished too for no reason. While this could be a strategy to help build up HKT's popularity, the way Aki-P has decided the method is just nor right in my opinion.

HKT48 Announces 2nd Generation Auditions

HKT48 has announced the auditions for their 2nd generation members. Registration has started from today until June 4th. The first round of auditions is in middle of June while the final auditions will be held at the end of June.

The age limit this time is from 11 years old to 18 years old. Hence, the consent of a parent is needed.


Team H recently got formed, so this auditions mean Team KIII is not far from now.

HKT48 and NMB48 as regulars in new TV show [Aru aru YY Terebi]

HKT48 and NMB48 both became regulars on a new TV show called Aru aru YY Terebi and broadcasted by TVQ, a local broadcasting station from Fukuoka, HKT48's home town. The show started April 23 and is broadcasted every week from Monday to Thursday night. HKT48 will appear every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, while Tuesday will feature NMB48 together with the comedian duo Bad Boys, the hosts of AKBINGO!. Every weekday a different comedy duo from Yoshimoto appears as hosts.

The shows topic is 'subculture'. The girls are supposed to learn the 'fascination of subcultures' through several different projects. From May on the show will be filmed publicly in a theatre belonging to Kokura Aru Aru city, a kind of event mall for 'Manga, Anime & Subcultures' in Kitakyushu.

Aru aru YY Terebi is the first regular TV show for HKT48.


Aru aru YY Terebi
あるあるYYテレビ
Official Website: http://www.tvq.co.jp/variety/aruaruyytv/
TV Network: TVQ
Air Time: 24:53 ~ 25:23 (Mon/Tue/Thu); 25:08 ~ 25:38 (Wed)
Broadcast starts: 23 April 2012
Cast: HKT48 (Mon/Wed/Thu), NMB48 (Tue), Woman Rush Hour (Mon), Bad Boys (Tue), Pank Booboo (Wed), Chimonchochu (Thu)


Finally there's a regular show for HKT48, an opportunity to get to know the members better. The concept of the show sounds interesting too, so I am looking forward to this show.

AKB48 revival concert [Minogashita Kimitachi e 2] announced

AKB48 will be doing another round of the Minogashita concert this year, this time aptly titled [Minogashita Kimitachi e 2].

This year's Minogashita concert will span a total of 21 days, from May 3rd to 24th, 2012. The location is the same as last years', at the Tokyo Dome City Hall.

The  Minogashita Kimitachi e 2 revival concert is a good way for newer fans to get to know the past stage songs of AKB48 as well as the sister groups, and for older fans to relieve their memories. Most of those songs do not make it to AKB48's concerts or even the Request Hour concerts. I would even go as far as to say that a lot of the old songs that ranked in the Request Hour 2012 concert wouldn't have made it there if not for last year's Minogashita concert.
