Sashihara Rino moved to HKT48

On June 14th, tabloid magazine “Shukan Bunshun” published an article from one of Sashihara Rino’s alleged ex-boyfriends. According to Shukan Bunshun’s report, Sashihara dated the man who was originally a fan of Sashihara, in the summer of 2008 ~ 2009.  The tabloid magazine included emails and photos which were supposedly sent by Sashihara.

During the morning of the 16th, Sashihara appeared on “AKB48’s All Night Nippon” radio show to issue an apology to her fans. “That person an I were honestly just friends. I’m really sorry about all of this”, she explained while crying.

On this particular broadcast, AKB48’s producer Akimoto Yasushi was also present and formerly moved Sashihara to AKB48’s sister group HKT48 as a ‘restart’ rather than a ‘punishment’.

Sashihara apologized, “When I was first asked about this, I didn’t know what people were talking about. I was really surprised when I read the article. There were so many things in the article that weren’t true, but I really was friends with him. I threw up my food over and over again. I hyperventilated during our tour. I couldn’t even talk to my mom. Seeing my fans’ comments on my blog really broke my heart. I am so sorry.”

Watanabe Mayu

Sub-unit dari AKB48, Watarirouka hashiritai 7 kemarin baru saja mengadakan event untuk mempromosikan single ke 10 mereka 'Shonen yo usotsuke' yang bertempat di  Zepp Tokyo.

Saat ditanya mengenai Sousenkyo ke-4 tahun ini, Watanabe Mayu yang saat ini kepopulerannya ada di peringkat tiga pada perhitungan sementara berkomentar bahwa ia ingin Sousenkyo kali ini tidak membawa ketegangan seperti tahun-tahun lalu. Ia ingin menikmatinya seperti suatu acara festival.

2.700 penggemar yang hadir merupakan orang-orang yang terpilih dari 9.000 pendaftar. Ketika para anggota Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 naik ke panggung dengan kostum berwarna kuning, semua bersorak dan mulailah mereka menyanyikan 5 lagu mulai dari single pertama mereka hingga lagu terbaru. Watanabe Mayu nampak sangat senang karena acara yang mereka adakan berlangsung sangat meriah, dan Haruka Nakagawa berkata bahwa ia ingin sub-unit yang lain dapat mengadakan live event seperti mereka.
