I definitely agree about sassy Hitomi. Realized she had when I saw clips of her AKB48 days. It's a side you wouldn't have expected of her. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

What do you mean, lol? Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

The word fluent gets thrown around here way too much. It takes more than two and half years to become fluent. But it's good to know that the K-line's Japanese is already so good. Their companies prepared them well! I doubt the Japanese members' Korean will be as good as (G)-idle's Yuqi by the end though. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

Seriously though, I want to hear Emma talk!

She and Wonyoung were blessed with tall height. I always find it funny and sad at the same time how Kpop girls want to be tall, but they must NOT be over 170 cm.

To explain the importance of Sasshi to Sakura and Nako: Sakura was one of the members Sasshi cared about the most. Sasshi rooted for Sakura and wanted her to find success. And Sakura always admired her. https://twitter.com/sakuraclips/status/1021038661201276928?lang=en Nako was a big fan of Sasshi before joining HKT48. During a handshake event, Nako met Sasshi who convinced Nako to try out for the audition. Without Sasshi, who knows, whether Nako would have ever joined HKT48 and become an idol (and an IZ*ONE) member. Anyways, Sasshi was a mentor, friend, and mom to Sakura and Nako. The graduation announcement was surprise announcement to everyone. I think the two will be in severe shock for a while. I just hope both of them can come to the graduation concert next April. Sasshi herself is kinda an interesting idol. But that's another story (you guys should look her up to understand why she's so popular).

I'm sure it will be. I can't wait for their japanese debut.

The fact that Sasshi announced today that she is graduating makes everyone who complained about Sakura and Nako attending today's concert look really bad. No wonder everything was put so hastily together. They had like two weeks only to plan for today's concert. I won't go too much into how much trouble HKT48 is right now (that is for the HKT48 forum), but Sakura and Nako must be very worried right now. I have a feeling that they can't ever comfortably perform in IZ*ONE, knowing that their HKT48 pillar is gone earlier than they expected. What will be left of HKT48 once they come back? OTR better announce ASAP that Sakura and Nako will join Sasshi's graduation ceremony next year to not get any backlash from fans. There is enough time to schedule everything between now and April to have them be free for at least that one day. I just don't think it is fair that Sakura and Nako will not be present at the ceremony of their "mom" who was so important to them in their career.

For fuck's sake, it's ONE FUCKING DAY only. You are wasting your energy on something that is meant to be a good thing for Sakura, Nako, and their HKT team members. This is not even remotely similar to IOI's situation.

Sigh, every time AKB48 gets brought in this thread, some users always have to bring up creepy old male fans fondling the idols' hands at handshake events. So much to research and believing the stereotypes. Let's forget all about the crazy saesangs. Believe me, in a few months, we will hear crazy stories about them making the IZ*ONE's members life hell. Maybe saesangs are not creepy, but they are disturbed as hell.

That helps a lot. Thanks for the thorough explanation. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

I've noticed that, too, that single albums are more popular. Any idea why? Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

I kinda wanna see Sakura dye her hair pink if they comeback during the spring b/c, you know, her name means Cherry Blossom.

I was watching Weekly Idol and when Hyewon was singing the cute song and suddenly said the formal form "Hyungnim", I died laughing, lmfao. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

Eunbi is amazing. I think she's my favorite member on the Korean side. She definitely gives the group an overall more mature aura. Great dancer, nice vocal timbre, fierce and strong image, very pretty, and best of all: She and I are both 95 liner, lol.

This title track is amazing. Solid mini album! And I am sorry that I have to say this, but I am super salty to see Sakura in the back and covered by the taller members during the chorus so many times. What was the choreographer thinking?! She's even covered in her own fancam. I am fine with her not getting many lines. I expected that. If anything, it's worse for Hyewon and Nako. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

... Too many rules. I will just keep watching it the way I'm used to. Hats off to those that actually do all this, lol. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

The girls must be so nervous. I wish them the best for the next two and a half years! Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

Seoul time is thirteen hours ahead of New York. So you would have to wake up at 7 am to catch the show on time. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

I'm considering buying an album, but I will wait and go on youtube to see open the album. I would like to see which version I like more. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

This thread has become so toxic... You guys ruin all the fun. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

I am also worried about that. As someone who has immigrated, it can be very rough and isolating for them. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

For real. That is all we're hoping. I personally hope that they follow a quirky but yet girly concept. Kinda like Red Velvet. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

Nako will have to wear gigantic high heels for two and a half years. That will fuck up her legs and joints. I feel for her. You can learn to ignore it. That is what I do. I always appreciate seeing the friendships and dynamics between certain group members, but I find it weird to "ship" them, even of it is just for fun (and no, I am not homophobic). I don't even want to touch on fanfics. Half of the members are still minors. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk

I saw the trailer of crows blood and saw a few clips of it... I'm interested but it is too gory for me. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk
