[Promotion - My Ranking 2014] AKB48 Group - HKT48 Team H Top 3 ~ HaKaTa Legends

I didn't like HKT48 much when they were introduced for the first time. I just thought about them like some girls who wants to become idols like AKB48. When Sasshi tranferred from AKB48 to there, I still didn't pay much attention. However, one thing changed. Rabutan also moved to there and I started watching Team H performance because of her. After that, I really enjoy the asmosphere which team H brings to me. That's reason why I chose Team H as the next team to recommend its members for you. 

Three girls I chose belong to three generations of HKT48. Of course that number #1 is my most favorite member now but I have to accept that there is a lot of personal feeling toward her. Although Team H has more than three girls I introduce to you, I hope you can pay some attention on these beloved girls ^o^

3. Tanaka Natsumi - HKT48 GEN 1

Natsumikan is the most interesting girl (in my eyes) among HKT48 girls. She always brings a lot of laughs and smiles to me when she becomes an MC on stage. She also plays as a surprisingly actress in HKT48's Majisuka Gakuen version. Haruppi commented that Natsumikan was one of HKT48 variety representative. However, she was never chosen for any A-side of AKB48 Group singles (include AKB48, SKE48 as well as HKT48, eventhough she became HKT48 senbatsu for AKB48 34th Single), so I think having the double position in Team S may be the biggest advantage for Natsumikan in comparing with other members of HKT48. 

2. Akiyoshi Yuka - HKT48 GEN 2

Even though Yukachan and Natsumikan are at the same age (they were born in 2000), while Natsumikan show a mature image, Yukachan proves herself as a lovely girl who has a lot of loves on oranges. With Yukachan, the most amazing performance (I think) is Koisuru Fortune Cookies in HKT48 7 Perfertures Tour in early this year. She shows a die-heart dance-moves which is quite upgraded version from Sasshi ver and I like that. Yukachan can also be descibe as a passionate girl on stage and always try hard in every single performance. I like to see her bang disappear after performing 2 or 3 songs continuously. She seems do not care about it, and that's all. (If you want to know her more, please find the performance of Tonari no "Banana" (or "Mikan" in her way) in AKB48 Group KKS concert last year. That's awesome!)

1. Yabuki Nako - HKT48 GEN 3

I have many things to say about Nakochan but in here, I just write down a little. As you may know, among HKT48 members, Nakochan may be the biggest fan of Sasshi. However, more than a fan of HKT48 manager, she's liked a hidden gem of GEN 3 who haven't been shinning at all. Nakochan seems to be a shy girl, who always think so much before saying anything and never let you down if you becomce her fan. I know if someone compare Nakochan with Mikuchan (same gen, same age with Nako), Nakochan is definately not a suitable choice as GEN 3 Ace. So what is the reason for HKT48 manager choose her over Mikuchan to center in an AKB48 B-side within a month of debuting with her group. I think that may be because when you stop watching around to look at her, you can't move your attention to any other young members of HKT48 (That was happened to me >_<)(P.S: It's hard to find a short video of Nakochan without Mikuchan's appearance on YouTube so I chose this one. Nakochan is cute in her "short" way LoL~)

There is a long road to go for not only young members in HKT48 but also three members I introduce to you in this post. I hope with the more chances and fewer disadvantages than their senior in AKB48, either my top 3 members in Team H or all of HKT48 members can grow, become more mature and do greater than their seniors have done. 

[Review] My thoughts about the 1st HKT48 Team Shuffle ~ Team H and new Team KIV

Not to late for writing something about AKB48 Group, especially Team Shuffle - The most suprising event of this group. This time, I want to talk about HKT48 1st Team Shuffle and new Team H. 

Honestly, I must say that I don't like the idea of shuffle and tranferring members from one team to the others. I know that this event must have brought the better balance or showing some hints of manager's plan. However, with the youngest sister group of AKB48 in Japan, HKT48 really need this? SKE48 had their first shuffle only after they had 9 members graduated at the same time, after they had debuted for 4 years. What about NMB48? They just tranferred Nana to Team M, and that's all. So why HKT48 need shuffle at this time?!

HKT48 appeared for the 1st time in 2011, and 2014 is their 3rd year. Some source said that this shuffle will only take effect on this spring but who knows what wanna be in this group. AKB48 and its sister groups always take a long time to make the shuffle teams together. You can see what happened when we have the new team in AKB, SKE or NMB. They take about 1 month to bring new stage ft. new members. The members also take a lot of time to get along with new partners. So, only in spring? That can bring new things for HKT48?

	Team H (Original)	Promoted Member
New Team H	Anai Chihiro (Team H Captain) Kodama Haruka (2) Sashihara Rino (HKT48 Manager) (4) Tanaka Natsumi Nakanishi Chiyori Matsuoka Natsumi (3) Wakatabe Haruka	Akiyoshi Yuka (5) Inoue Yuriya Umemoto Izumi Okamoto Naoko Kojina Yui Komada Hiroka Sakaguchi Riko Tashima Meru (1) Yamada Marina
New Team KIV	Ueki Nao Ota Aika (Team KIV Captain) (3) Kumazawa Serina Shimono Yuki Miyawaki Sakura (1) Murashige Anna (5) Motomura Aoi Moriyasu Madoka (4)	Imada Mina Okada Kanna Goto Izumi Tanaka Yuka Tani Marika Tomiyoshi Asuka Tomonaga Mio (2) Fuchigami Mai

Besides, the member list of new Team H means that HKT48 will push Meru as their ACE after all. I know a lot of people like her, I know she really awsome. However, I still have complicated feelings about her position. She still makes me think like 'Oh, she is just a cute girl' and that's all. Moving her to Team H along with Haruppi also means they can be WCenter for this team like WMatsui of Original Team S or Meru will be like Acchan and Haruppi will have a role like Kojiharu or Mariko-sama in Takahashi Team A >_<

They also seperated visual sisters - Natsu and Madoka. I know they might not like being together or singing duet like Temo Demo no Namida but I love to watch them in a team. 

On the other hand, I'm happy when I see new the team H is Yuka. My little orange - Akiyoshi Yuka now is promoted. I'm happy to see her in team and I hope she can get a good position in this team. 

Moreover, my Rabutan becomes the 1st captain of team KIV ^^. I think she will act as a good senpai for her team from now. She is the senior from and she knows what is the right thing for her team members to improve. 

I also have some predictions about HKT48 front girls.

1. Meru will be HKT48's ACE

2. Meru and Haruppi will be WCenter of Team H

3. Sakura will be Team KIV Center.

4. The top 5 of Team H are Tashima Meru (1), Kodama Haruka (1 or 2), Matsuoka Natsumi (3), Sashihara Rino (4) and Akiyoshi Yuka (5)

5. The top 5 of Team KIV are Miyazawa Sakura (1), Tomonaga Mio (2), Oota Aika (3), Moriyasu Madoka (4) and Murashige Anna (5)

6. The next single of HKT48 will have center from Team H :))

7. Yabuki Nako will be center of new Team T if it's formed. LOL~

8. We will have Team T if HKT48 have GEN 4 debut ~.~ (A long time to wait >"<)

That's all I think about HKT48 1st shuffle. This is just my personal thoughts so I don't think you will totally agree with me. However, thank you a lot for spending your time to read this. 

Enjoy!

[Promotion ~ My Ranking] My Top 5 HKT48 Members ~ Little girls with big dreams

With Sasshi as the leader, HKT48 is the most potential group among AKB48 groups. They are not the most active and having a lot of chances like NMB48. However, HKT48 girls bring back to me the memories about Original Team B in early days. They are the youngest and they can do more than the others because of that. (In this post, I won't mention about Sasshi, who is too famous in AKB48 group. I want to promote for the other girls ^^)

5, Oota Aika (AKB48 GEN 3 / HKT48 GEN 1 - Team H)

When I watched DVD of AKB48 in Tokyo Dome "1860 no Yume", I cried a lot when I saw the moment of Mayuyu and Rabutan. They are closed friends. When Rabutan moved to Team A, Mayuyu's in Team B. When Mayuyu finally moved to Team A, Rabutan isn't there anymore. I think the way they keeps their closed friendship is precious. In HKT48, Rabutan has chance to grow up. In here, she's more mature and become a good sister for all other HKT48 members. I think if she's still in HKT48, she will create an image of big sister like Kojiharu in AKB48. That may be interesting to watch.

4, Fuchigami Mai (HKT48 GEN 2 - Team RS)

Maichan is my favorite girl in Team RS. Comparing with other HKT48 girls, she got a lot of push from managers. I considered her as one of HKT48 GEN 2 Trio (with Meru and Mio. They made me remember about Team K Trio with Sayaka, Sae and Yuko LOL~). Actually, I don't think that Team H can keep 15 members for a long time. Although this team is full of popular members, I think Maichan will suitable for Team H. If not and she gets promoted in Team K(IV?) with Meru and Mio, she can shine as Top 3 of this team.

 3, Murashige Anna (HKT48 GEN 1 - Team H)

Anya is the most funny girl in HKT48 with nickname "Russian Monkey" (Her mother is Russian and her father is Japanese). Although sometimes she is considered "annoying" by other members, she still brings to us a lot of fun and laugh. She may not be the most shining girl but she is the most interesting comedian of HKT48. I think she should rethink and start as comedian instead of becoming an idol LOL~

2, Akiyoshi Yuka (HKT48 GEN 2 - Team RS)

Now, Yukachan is the youngest member of AKB48 group (until August 2013). Sometimes, she resembles with Acchan in AKB48 early days. However, there aren't a lot of people argree with me about this. Yukachan has cute voice (although she's just in "Classmate" unit and I really want her in "Skirt, Hirari"). I'm looking forward to watch AKB48 Group Kenkyuusei Concert "Oshimen Hayai Mono Gachi" DVD with Yukachan in "Tonari no Banana" unit. I think she's most suitable for that song (more suitable than other AKB48 group KKS LOL~)

1, Kodama Haruka (HKT48 GEN 1 - Team H / AKB48 Team A)

Haruppi is the first HKT48 member hold concurrent position in AKB48 (Team A). At first, I thought she would be HKT48 Ace. Unfortunately, Haruppi wasn't chosen for center position of HKT48 1st original song, as well as debut single and second single of this group. I wonder why they don't let her be center. She is shining as Team H center and she do well in Team A. Haruppi is the girl that just need a little push but she can shine more than many other girls. She's just 16 years old, so I don't want her leave HKT48 too soon. (Honestly, I want to see her spend many years in HKT48 like Acchan before. *smile*)

HKT48 is the youngest in AKB48 group. They may be not the most success group among all AKB48 sister groups. However, they are the cutest and I considered them as the most shining in the future.

P.S: This post is dedicated to my favorite girls in HKT48. They are mine, may be not yours. Thank you for spending time to read my post. If you have any comments, please let me know. Thank you so much again and have a nice day!
