Kodama Haruka 2013.08.07 22:18The Kyocera Dome concert is over\(^o^)/ I blazed it up!! Glico Pose♪ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.07 24:06Good Evening!Haruppi here\(^o^)/ What a time!! The Kyocera Dome concert was truly fun♪ I was able to make out people that came to a Handshake Event before and also ones that were shouting『Haruppiー!』✌ I was really glad about that。 To everyone that came, thank you very much。 Also, I think that people from Osaka are just really warm-hearted! From the opening on the voices were loud, and you could also hear different calls than usually, all that got me so excited( Ü )ノ Tomorrow as well, I want to shine more and more and want to put up a good performance, so I will give it my best for that!! Good Night。 Puhyuーhaー★ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.08 8:18Meroppi-sans across the nation good morning\(^o^)/ I was in the mood to eat spicy food, so this morning I’ve been eating a Ramen called 『True meaning of korean stew』! Fufufu。♪ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.08 11:47Nakkan\(^o^)/ Happy birthday! Niーceー、Seventeen★ Nakkan is someone that has an amazing way of thinking and it’s always so unexpected and surprising. But in the way we both hate to lose, we’re absolutely identical。 The way she’s holding onto her own intention and just pushes forward, I think that’s really cool of her! From here on out as well, let’s raise the excitement about HKT48 together, ok(。・ө・。) Kodama Haruka 2013.08.08 20:44The final day at Kyocera Dome endedー\(^o^)/ I had so much fun, seems like there was a rainbow about to come out of my noseー♪ To everyone who came and to everyone that gave me their support thank you very much!! Kodama Haruka 2013.08.08 22:33Looking forward to the drafting!! On one hand, when trying to look at it from the Kenkyuuseis’ perspective it’s complicated。 In order to be able to become a member of a team, they are going to have to struggle, And the new kids will have to go up against those before them。 However, those kids that are chosen to be drafted, they will definitely have a huge pressure on them as well。 There are a lot of members that wish for such a chance。 This kind of world is very difficult。 As for [subjects at school], [TL note: I think she’s using an abbreviation for all the subjects at Japanese public schools]you study for everything and are ready to be evaluated. And in this world as well, since you are being evaluated, It is best to be able to do everything, But that is not all there is to it。 During times where I think 『Will I be granted my wishes』, I am getting anxious。 I am holding onto HKT48 for sure… To not do anything to betray anyone, takes a great effort I think。 Takamina-san said it。 Great effort is necessary to be rewarded。 If you gave it your best before, you will have something。 That’s what she said… Someone is definitely seeing it。 As for me, I believe in those words, and I believe in myself, so from here on out, I will do the Haruppi-like thing; I am going to push on。 The draft。 Concerning the 48 group, it will definitely be a +. So everyone, please look forward to it as well, okー♪ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.08 24:37Good Night。 Puhyuーhaー★ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.09 8:12Good Morning\(^o^)/ Today I slept together with Tani! "Tani" is just really cute。 We talked a lot and ended up going to sleep too late(•́ε•̀٥) But, it was fun♪ Today I have a tightly packed schedule again, so I have to give it my best!! Kodama Haruka 2013.08.09 12:09The interview for the music program is over\(^o^)/ I couldn’t wink, so it turned out to be a blink instead( ´-` 。) Ahー, embarrassingー I still need to practice it more so I am going to do that。 Being ON AIR is funー♪ Kodama Haruka 2013.08.09 15:10Notification\(^o^)/ In the BOMB issue that goes on sale today, Haruppi’s cwush has received a solo gravure feature!! Definitely try to check it out please。 cakama benstack

cakama Why would she adress Yukachan in a more formal way 'Akiyoshi-chan'? Using her sur name is more formal, right? She's 4yrs younger I reckon she is on a very casual term with Yukachan hence the addressing in formal term... If Yuka is older than she will be addressed as Akiyoshi-san instead of ~chan, ~chan is meant for people younger than you (most of the time) Only between peer will they just use their first name, like Paru like to address Yuihan as just Yui.... When addressing strangers or people you are not close to, you normally use a more respectful surname+san.... a little less formal surname+chan/kun

Entire team A calls Mariko 'Mariko-san' or some Marichan (basically ony 1st/2nd gen). Even the new members alrdy call her Mariko-san. ^^

In western countries, a simple yo/wassup is already over-rated greeting... Its disrespectful to directly address someone's first name without any honorific regardless of ages and ranks.... only excluding between family members and very very very close friend. Even Bad Boys address all members using their surname (of cos without the ~chan and definitely no ~san)

There are several things in Japan that I'd prefer having over here as well. Bowing instead of handshakes (it's even more hygienic) aand school uniforms..they look totally cool.

True, but most western tradition dictate acts like bowing as representation of being weak.... Oh... there is no school uniforms system in EU??

Imagine you meet with 10 friends..shaking everybody's hand vs bowing into the room with them There are school uniforms in the UK, other central EU contries don't have uniforms. I can't think of any other country than England (not too sure about Scotland, Ireland..maybe). But none for Germany, France, Italy, Denmark etc.

But none for Germany, France, Italy, Denmark etc. Actually informal bowing is done person to person even if there is 10 person in the room... but it depends on whether there is a host or someone of higher position in the room, then the bow is meant for the highest position or the host of the room... Well bowing is not to cut corner through, like when you leave you need to bow out as well... Western culture just wave goodbye thats all... Oh... we have school uniforms here... well its more presentation and presents unity...

KODAMA HARUKA’S STORY (cr to S48 DreamingPebbles)Haruppi’s StoryAKB48’s sister group HKT48 is born! This news shook the heart of Kodama Haruka, who was a middle school student at the time. But not because she was a girl who loved idols. However, this girl, who took part in student council activities while also being a member of the basketball club and who loved to stand out, loved Maeda Atsuko. Also, at the time of the creation of NMB48, she watched through the TV the story of how Watanabe Miyuki became a star, and thought that she wanted to become like that as well. So she applied for the auditions. This audition, which would be hard in the best of circunstances, seemed difficult to Haruka, who had no experience dancing. But amazingly she passed! Thus began her days immersed in lessons as an HKT48 first generation member. Haruka, inexperienced in dancing, always had intensive training until late. But “Haruppi” hadn’t been born yet. Kodama Haruka’s first nickname was “Harurun”. The first general manager, in his introduction to the members, wrote this: So finally, on November 26, 2011, the curtains opened for HKT48’s first performance, “Te wo Tsunaginagara”. At the time, the person was stood on the center position was Kodama Haruka. Also her nickname was changed to “Haruppi”, and thus was the “Haruppi” idol born.Haruppi CenterWhy did Kodama Haruka become the center? In the November 2012 issue of Bubka, then General Manager Sato tells us this:That is how Kodama Haruka became center. Naturally, the center must engage in activities as the face of HKT48. She was in the senbatsu of “NEW SHIP” (B-side of AKB48’s single “GIVE ME FIVE!”, released in February of the following year), and took part in a song for the first time with the likes of Watanabe Mayu and Matsui Jurina. Kodama Haruka’s name slowly became better known as the representative of HKT48.However, HTK48 has many fascinating members. At first voices flooded the net asking why was Kodama Haruka center. A bashing storm made by fans of other members. At first Kodama Haruka’s charm wasn’t quite conveyed.Still, in practice the number of fans who watched the performances and completely changed those assessments had been growing in the spring of 2012. Center Kodama Haruka’s presence and idol aura in the performances became something that people couldn’t help but acknowledge. It is hard to imagine Haruppi’s struggles to get to that point. Its real meaning is that the idol Haruppi was finally born. First Senbatsu and SousenkyoThen suddenly Kodama Haruka was chosen as senbatsu member of AKB48 and took part in “Manatsu no Sounds Good”. However, the shooting of the PV became something very frustrating for Kodama Haruka.When you watch the PV for “Manatsu no Sounds Good”, specially the dance version, you can notice that Kodama Haruka’s dancing is late. They ended up shooting while she hadn’t learned it correctly. There was again bashing against this on the net. It was still right after the theater debut, but she had no experience in dancing and she was slow to learn the dance moves, and she had to learn the choreography amidst AKB48’s busy schedule. Those times were harsh for Kodama Haruka.However, when actually performing in music shows on TV, Kodama Haruka totally took back that delay and danced perfectly. Her charm was being conveyed also due to TV."Manatsu no Sounds Good" included voting tickets for the 2012 sousenkyo. This was the first sousenkyo in which the HKT48 members took part. So, as center, Haruppi’s candidancy was high. But she did not rank. The only member from HKT48 who ranked was Miywaki Sakura. Sashihara Rino’s transfer and the resignation of 5 peopleStarting on June, when the sousenkyo ended, many incidents started to happen in HKT48. The beginning of the tumultuous incidents was on the late night of June 15, in AKB48 no All Night Nippon. That incident, as everyone throughout Japan knows by now, was the announcement of Sashihara Rino’s transfer to HKT48.From the night of that day until morning came, a storm raged on the net. Most of it were trolls, but HKT48 fans themselves were also worried about the influences that Sashihara Rino’s transfer would bring. First was the establishment of a bad image due to the demotion, and in pratical terms maybe someone woule leave Team H due to the transfer, or maybe Sasshihara would become the center. They worried about losing something, even if small, that had been built up to that point.When the next morning came, it became clear that this concern was not restricted to fans, but that the members felt it too. Many members made posts to Google+ worrying about what they should do next. Among them, Kodama Haruka’s post first said “I’m surprised”, but later, she made the following post:To the fans who were driven by worries at that time, Haruppi’s post made them feel happy to the point of crying.Later, when Sashihara Rino was in fact transferred to HKT48 and started performing, the fans’ concerns gradually disappeared. In spite of having an irregular 17-person system where members took turns for each song, the performance was done just like always, and Haruppi was the center.After this, Sashihara devotedly performed public relations activities. The number of fans who recognized her gradually increased, and when it seemed that HKT48 was poised to have a great development, an incident happened.In August, 5 HKT48 members quit suddenly. As the reason wasn’t clear, speculation created more speculation, and the incident came to be covered by many media venues. Haruppi made the following post on her Google+.HKT48 hit on hard times. They had fewer members, to the point they could not even get the 16 people needed for a performance. On the net, it was whispered that HKT48 had ended. But among that, an even harsher reality waited for Haruppi. Tears on her seitansaiThe person from HKT48 who was chosen for the senbatsu of the AKB48 single “UZA”, released in October, was not Kodama Haruka, but Miyawaki Sakura, who had ranked in the sousenkyo. Because the other groups had senbatsus centering on the sousenkyo, this was perhaps inevitable. However, for Haruppi this was frustrating.The first performance of the UZA senbatsu was at the AKB Janken Tournament. That day, September 19, was Kodama Haruka’s birthday. The following day, at the theater performance of HKT48, it was Kodama Haruka’s seitansai. There Kodama Haruka showed tears on the stage for the first time. She spoke the following.This incident was a shock to the fans. Kodama Haruka always talked about being happy, but she carried this distress until then. Many fans were shocked, but also more fans supported her more than they had done before. However, this incident was not the end of Kodama Haruka’s suffering. Kodama Haruka Is Not CenterOn September 30, the 2nd generation finally joined HKT48. From then on, the whole HKT48 group advanced in a positive direction. The shortage of members ended, and it became possible to entrust the theater to the 2nd generation while the 1st generation appeared in different media venues. In the Kantou region, “HaKaTa Hyakkaten”, a TV show that introduced HKT members, began broadcasting, and suddenly there came a time when people could get to know the HKT members deeply.Also, there came a chance for HKT48, who hadn’t debuted yet, to have an original song. This was because a song was made for each group to be used as a B-side on the AKB48 single “Eien Pressure”. That time, HKT48 was in charge of the song “Hatsukoi Butterfly”.The music video for “Hatuskoi Butterfly” was shown for the first time during the performance of November 15. Finally an original song, but the center wasn’t Kodama Haruka. It was 2nd generation member Tashima Meru. Tashima Meru was an outstanding talent who, during the auditions, was acknowledged by Akimoto Yasushi as the second Matsui Jurina. There were rumors even before wondering if Tashima wouldn’t become center, but this became true unexpectedly. Fans were once again shocked, but how much was Kodama Haruka herself shocked by this reality?That evening, Kodama Haruka made the following post.HKT48’s DebutHKT48 had its debut scheduled on 2013. The many media appearances increased and center among them was of course Kodama Haruka. From the end of 2012 to the beginning of 2013, Kodama Haruka continued appearing in many TV shows, such as the Japan Record Award and the Kouhaku Utagassen. Among them, Haruppi made a big decision. From then on, she would try to show her weaknesses. Haruppi, who never complained at all, let it come to the surface and on December 28, 2012 made the following post.So, on March 20, 2013, HKT48’s debut was finally announced. However, its center as before was not Kodama Haruka. It was Tashima Meru. Haruppi wrote nothing about that, but at the handshake event right after the debut, it seems that many people talked to her about it. On March 25, Haruppi made the following post.Concurrency on Team AOn April 2013, each AKB group did a solo concert at the Budokan. The first concert of HKT48 was on the splendid stage of the Budokan. There Kodama Haruka performed on Mayuyu’s “Zannen Shoujo”. During the whole performance, Kodama Haruka was specially praised among HKT. However, on that big stage, the main part of the MC that Kodama Haruka had been doing was entrusted to Sashihara. She only spoke on the introduction to “Suki! Suki! Skip!”, and she wasn’t chosen for the intermediate MC.On April 28, at the AKB Group Soushutsuen, she appeared as one of the members of “Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru”. This performance was also praised, but compared to the appearance of Tashima Meru and Tomonaga Mio on “Nageki no Figure” with Watanabe Mayu and Shinoda Mariko, we can say that it received a lower treatment.In that context, a shock was coming in the form of a last surprise. In the spring shuffle, while it was announced the cancellation of the current concurrencies on AKB and on sister groups and the new concurrencies, it was announced a single concurrency from HKT48, that of Kodama Haruka to Team A. Haruppi was all tears at the time of the announcement.When her name was first called, wasn’t she afraid that she would be transferred somewhere? When it was clear that she would be able to continue her activities on HKT even with the concurrency, she smiled on the stage. And on that night she made the following post on Google+.The following day, there was the first HKT48 national handshake event in Fukuoka. A long line formed on the lane where Kodama Haruka was. It was the fans who wanted to talk about the concurrency who had formed a line. That evening, Kodama Haruka made the following post on her Google+.Kodama Haruka was facing the Team A concurrency in a positive way and beginning another new challenge from HKT48. The concurrency was a chance, but of course there was also anxiety.The 2013 SousenkyoThe sousenkyo season came once again. This year, it started using a system of candidancy, but all HKT48 members announced their candidancies. Naturally Kodama Haruka was also a candidate.On May 22 the preliminary results were announced. Kodama Haruka got the high ranking of 24th! In HKT, she was second only to Sashihara Rino. Everyone was surprised at this high rank. Kodama Haruka was said to not be popular within HKT, but this result made everyone see that she is a popular member. On that day, Kodama Haruka made the following post.June 8, the day of the event. Fans fought to preserve the Undergirls rank and to rank 2nd in HKT, but the final rank was 37. Even though she managed at least to rank and to get into Next Girls, she didn’t get into Undergirls. And because Miyawaki Sakura ranked 26th, she didn’t keep the 2nd place within HKT. Even though she had a good result to some extent, we can’t call it a victory. However, Kodama Haruka did leave a mark in her speech.Kodama Haruka, also known as Haruppi, from HKT48 Team H and AKB48 Team A. To everyone who supported me and voted for me, thank you very much.
In the past I couldn’t rank and felt very frustrated. Standing here was my only objective, so I am very, very happy to be standing here now.
I think this rank of 37th meets everyone’s expectations and thoughts. It’s a rank I’m really proud of. Thank you.
But I am still not satisfied with myself. Because dancing and singing are still not my forte, because I’m bad at it. Because of that, I think I must use my abilities. To make HKT48 advance more and more and to make this achievement my goal as Kodama Haruka, I must aim higher and higher.
That’s why I have decided! This year, with Shinoda-san’s words from last year in my heart, I want to work hard to go and crush my senpais. Thank you very much. At the end, Kodama Haruka’s bad pronunciation attacked and she said “cwush my senpais”. The whole of that speech left an impression on people. That evening, Kodama Haruka made a long post. And…"Haruppi’s Story" has just started. This page was created to make Haruppi rank in the sousenkyo no matter what. The 2013 sousenkyo has ended and I think that she got a good result to a certain extent. Thank you to everyone who voted! The truth is the result was not totally satisfactory. We were supposed to live up to Haruppi’s hard work, but in the end fans were saved by Haruppi’s speech. The number of fans itself is still low for Kodama Haruka. People still don’t know what kind of girl Haruppi is. The fans can compensate for that. Because now we have the net. The story will continue until next year’s sousenkyo. I want to collect that in this page. Maybe there will be more painful events. Things that will be difficult even to read. But I also want there to be happy events. I want everyone to be happy at next year’s sousenkyo with a result that can be called a great victory. Akiramenai, Haruppi!
It takes a while to read through everything, but it's definitely worth it. It takes a while to read through everything, but it's definitely worth it. -tag cakama benstack

ch3mistYes definitely worth the time to read it Reading through all the responses to all the events makes me understand why Meru was chosen as the Group's Ace instead of her... And its definitely not because she can't dance or sing well...etc... Its about the level of self-confidence and the level of EQ, Haruppi is too fragile and self-doubting to shoulder the important position that not only requires great performance level, great charisma, also very high level of confidence and EQ to handle all the good and bad coming to the group and to the center herself. If Haruppi is still center, I'm afraid she wouldn't be Haruppi (which stands for her happy outlook), she might breakdown... Support role isn't all that bad, she still get chances to showcase herself while that doesn't cause too much mental exhaustion on her. But as a Meru WOTA, I'm still waiting for her to acknowledge whole heartedly that Meru is doing pushing the group forward as the only Immovable Ace. Which in a sense will actually help her to evolve further, now she is still anchored down by fame and the need to be center. While its a clear goal, but she is walking down a path that is very rough and have no light at the end of the tunnel.. Carrying that burden would only stop her down and cause more sadness and despair for her. (same applies to Sakuratan) When one gives up something, they will stand to gain another. I really hope Haruppi will sort through her feelings and goals soon

Ye kinda. But what can be expected from a 15y old girl with no experience that's put into the center role; eien pressure. Like it's shown in the passage about about Manatsu~PV. It's heavy stuff to read what she's been through. On top of that the feeling of belying expectations, only being the stopgap. Maybe it's frustrating but after all it was probably the right call. In the time after Meru took over the center..Haruppie's grows was more significant than it was under the pressure before. Less worries, less pressure, more ' Haruppi'. But since that translation is from S48 and probably every Haruppi WOTA there have (well at least should have!) read this..IDK why they rant so much. To me reading all this gave me a sorta comforting feeling about the chosen Melon Juice centers. Of course there are still delulu feelings I want my oshimens to get every possible chance but I'm also a HKT WOTA it's even more important what's best for the entire group.

I don't expect anything from normal 15y old girls with no showbiz experience. But being an center is a complete different situation Acchan step up as center at the age of 14 Jurina step up as center at the age of 11 Tang Min step up as center at the age of 16 Sayanee step up as center at the age of 17 Meru step up as center at the age of 12 All of the above have no showbiz experience prior to entering the group. Its tough what she have gone through, but its not really that far off what most of the other members have gone through. There is not red carpet treatment for any members even if its Acchan. For Group centers, their path is more thorny and harsh than everyone else's. Even Parurunn-san (its rare for me to use honorific on her) faced the same kind of path when she is pushed into the abyss of center. Moment of failure dawn upon even the most experienced, even Akane who recently forgot the lyric of her stage song have to endure the failure and move ahead. You're a different case, you stepped in after the 2nd gen have debut, your mentality wouldn't be that of a 1st gen WOTA who followed the 1st gen since debut. 1st gen WOTAs of all groups don't really care about the success or failure of the group in general, to them for the group to be success only the 1st gen must be used and nobody else.
