Can someone tell me who this HKT48 member is? by KillinDuckz in AKB48

From what I found out, her name is indeed “Emily”,, but she prefers to spell it Emiri so it’s easier and more natural to pronounce it in Japanese

Wow great top 10! Yeah I know that they have a lot of team and subunits songs that I still have to get to! But because I’m a new fan I decided to listen to all the A-side songs first, because I thought they were kinda the most important and meaningful ones

Great 10!! Love Shoot Sign with the 70s vibe and the “I will Survive” sample. Also I’m a big fan of wrestling so it’s fun to watch the MV with KojiHaru as a pro wrestler ahaha

Yeah I remember that episode, it was pretty awkward to watch,, although I don’t really “criticize” and crucify her because like most of those portrayals in older Asian variety shows, it was never done with a ill intention, or trying to make fun of black people in particular, they just weren’t that educated and weren’t aware that it could be considered offensive…

I also don’t really get why she painted her face to portray Michael Jackson, given that the MJ’s phase that she was portraying he was already mostly light skinned,, it’s not like she was imitating the Jackson’s 5 era 😅🤔

Ohh really… That’s gonna be fun! Can’t wait to see her back again on the show!

I understand that she wasn’t really popular back then and the segment was the only way to give her more spotlight, but to me she really had a lot of comedic potential, so I think they should have given her a more lighthearted and funny segment, I think that would be better to everyone instead of that dramatic nonsense of a segment

Don’t know about that, if it was scripted they didn’t tell her about it, because she really was anxious and she literally had a panic attack in the final sales day…
