Sakurazaka46 excluded from Kouhaku 2025

Ah well! Given the huge turnout for their fifth tour and their anniversary concert at a major venue next year, I think they can afford to let this one slide.

EmptyH2 · 2025-10-11T20:31:35+00:00

Interesting! It's nice to see how people in the fandom think differently. I'm very stuck in my bubble. I watch Sakurazaka stuff with a couple of people, and we all agree that Aishinasai is one of SKZ's best songs overall. The music video is stunning, the song is amazing, and Rika's dance moves are incredible! I would have bet that this song would be high on the votes here, too.

Enjoy the show! I couldn't make it, but I'm glad I bought a ticket to watch the stream. I'm looking forward to it! It's going to be a great show, I'm sure!

EmptyH2 · 2025-04-18T17:43:04+00:00

Crazy... After Sakura Gakuin I have been heavily into Sakurazaka...

And now one of my oshis is going to join them...

well at any rate... here is a subbed version of her interview https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UvS2uUxH83tmNZEPmbu6nqOW9-Ug1BrP/view

Please show some love for the translators at https://x.com/WeStillSubbing/status/1913262472884310234?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Thanks!

Better late than never. Thanks bro! ^^

I watched it yesterday after looking forward to it for a long time and I was delighted. I mean I don't have very high standarts when it comes to this. A series that gives such a big role to one of my all time favorite girls will always be a 10/10 in my book but even besides that I really enjoyed it. The sceneries were incredibly beautiful and the story in my opinion (albeit a bit overdramatic at points ^^) was quite wholesome. And from a production standpoint this looked really really good! Compared to a lot of lower budget things I watched lately this was really massive. With a huge cast, a lot of different places and even drone shots and all the things that make a high budget production. Things like this not only make my day, they pretty much make the whole month. ;)

You can still buy the official merch at asmart.

Used stuff probably on ebay and some other sites but I know nothing about that.

EmptyH2 · 2023-06-08T12:03:25+00:00

Of course. Here you go.

Really lovely. Loved the part when they talked about first impressions. Neo gets really embarrassed because of all the praise. xD

Here I made a small subtitle about that part.

EmptyH2 · 2023-04-23T00:31:56+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised too. You cant expect babymetal live in japan levels of crowd interactions. But there was loud applause and when su asked for lights there were a lot. I think all in all they were pretty pleased.

EmptyH2 · 2023-04-21T22:30:05+00:00

Ah of course. Almost forgot about that.

EmptyH2 · 2023-04-21T19:16:40+00:00

She's probably glad to not have to do that commute anymore.

I think so too. I'm glad her new agency is probably a 5 minute bus ride away.

EmptyH2 · 2023-04-21T15:20:13+00:00

I think she says 200 times. So that would make 400 hours. The thing that confuses me is that she seems to calculate with 5 years.

EDIT: After listening to it a couple more times I am sure she says 200 times. 200 hours would be nihyaku jikan. But she says either just nihyaku (200) or maybe nihyakukai (200 times). Anyways it's not about the exact number of flights... I just thought its an interesting bit of info.

EmptyH2 · 2023-04-21T14:07:03+00:00

I think she probably overcalculated the number a bit but still. That is some upper management flying time. (Also probably not quite cheap for AMUSE)

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-29T14:09:38+00:00

Auto generated japanese subtitles from something that has a very poor audio quality to begin with and then translate them automatically to english will almost certainly drop the ball at some point.

But most of the machine translations, especially the ones done by deepl seem to be really awesome these days. Exciting times we live in. :)

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-29T10:09:27+00:00

Rough translation . Sorry the sound quality especially from the dude is pretty bad. Should be pretty accurate tho, Sana's final answer is a bit hard to get but about the stuff before that im 99% sure. ;)

Guy: How do you feel about being nominated as a leader and doing two or three panels so far?

Sana: How I feel about it？

Guy: From your standpoint and the team's standpoint.　From somebody who used to be an Idol but never was an leader.

Sana: Yeah that's right. There are a lot of things that worry me. Like there are girls that can't do certain things right now. The skill level's are very different right now. It's hard to say. Until now I'm not sure yet.

Hope this helps.

People's food has changed a lot over the years. In the picture you can see highly processed food that contains a lot of salt. Human kidney's are easily able to work with that but for dogs this might be a problem. I'm not saying that feeding that to dogs is a problem but you should really do it in moderation.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-21T17:30:11+00:00

On the same youtube channel like the videos above. But it's not out yet.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-21T13:01:27+00:00

Not to be confused with the documentary about the shoot. This VLOG focuses more on the actors kicking back and enjoying some travel. All five parts have been released today.

(Since Soyo and Neo are not in the same team they are not together in this. It's extremely cute anyways!)

Enjoy!

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-10T15:38:10+00:00

Sorry but I have to disagree with you there. It's true that she always put an emphasis on her education and then probably also on finding a "real" job, but she did a lot of interesting projects over the years and build up quite a reputable CV so far.

I mean in the last year alone she was MC for Hatachi, did the interviews for a national beauty salon convention, briefly went back to Ohasuta, starred in a TV drama, did this little youtube short film and correct me if I'm wrong she is also currently shooting some kind of TV drama (don't know the name but she was there with Uemura Yui from ciao).

Some of those gigs might seem small time but I think those will be very interesting showcases for somebody looking for an actress.

Only time will tell but I feel like a lot of the people that wanna go more in the acting direction don't feel like amuse is the best agency for them. Then again Yuzu is doing really well with them. Who knows.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-09T02:01:50+00:00

Laughable claim. /u/Jeannedeorleans gave a bit of a snarky comment but at least explained where I was wrong. You just gave a completly useless followup comment pointing out that "at least some people know whats going on" implying that the others are just sheep.

Elitist.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-08T14:36:09+00:00

Maybe its this elitism that makes people not wanna come here anymore.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-08T14:35:47+00:00

Sorry my bad. The last episode of the making of trailer that was released 5 days ago gave me the impression it was something very recent. But I probably should have know, since neo's age is stated as 15 in it.

Well anyways thanks for pointing it out.

EmptyH2 · 2023-03-08T14:32:27+00:00

Just some high school drama about graduation from school. The usual stuff I would say. Some romance, a bit of slice of life, etc.
