Today, I read an article with headline said that Paruru had said “If you hate AKB48, please don’t hate me”. Right after I saw that, I really disappointed with Paruru, sound like she’s very selfish and don’t care about AKB48. I wonder how she could say something like that? Especially in my eyes, she is the chosen one for Mayuyu position, when Mayuyu took place Acchan’s position. However, after I read the whole article, I hate the writer. If she actually thought something like that, I would hate her. But she didn’t. It’s just a TV show and that’s not her idea. I don’t know about the others, how you guys react with this headline, but I’m pretty sure that some of you will act like me 😀
Shimazaki Haruka, who is also known as Paruru or Ponkotsu, is the center of AKB48 3rd Janken Single – 29th single, Eien Pressure. She took this position after winning in AKB48 3rd Janken Taikai. At first, when I knew she won, I wondered if there was a management of Akimoto-san or not. He said no. But who knows that. Although there were a lot of comment about this, Paruru still did a good job in this single. (Actually, I prefer Moeno and Umechan than her. She’s not my idol type.) She’s also famous for her character in Bakaleya – the drama is the 1st collaboration between 48groups and JE. (But I don’t like her. I like Saya – starred by Oba Mina a.k.a Minarun)
Besides, Paruru is getting more and more haters because she isn’t energetic idol. Honestly, sometimes I think she’s less active than Acchan, who always showed for fans when AKB48 members were tired. And as being revealed in the TV show, Paruru never does something different in handshake event. Some fans said that she was not enough talent as other AKB48 members. So there are some questions. What is the reasons of people who became her wota? Why she could get a lot of votes in AKB48 election? Why Akimoto-san chose her over other Team 4 members to become senbatsu and media senbatsu?
At first, Paruru was one of two AKB48 kenkyuusei be ranked in AKB48 2nd election. While Ranran a.k.a Yamauchi Shizuran is humor, Paruru seems like Acchan – AKB48 ACE at that time. So when Team 4 formed, they needed a center. Paruru was chosen. Then, Acchan graduated from AKB48 and Team 4 disbanded. So, AKB48 needed an AKB48 member in senbatsu when another media senbatsu takes Acchan place. You can’t choose Jurina, Sayanee or Milky because they’re AKB48 members, they’re members of AKB48 sister’s groups. So who can be chosen? I think that was the time they think about the member in GEN 9, 10 and 11. But no one suited for it except Paruru. (I thought they would push Yuihan, but no. That’s question and I have no idea about the answer) You know at that time, she’s pushed as Team 4 center, so a lot of AKB48 fan know about her. And she is GEN 9. All lead to her promotion like now.
In conclusion, AKB48 is the largest pop group in the world. They need front girls, who will show the world what kind of AKB48 members – variety. So, that may be reason why Paruru was chosen. And she improves herself every day, so don’t bash her just because she is Paruru, who managers chose. Just watch her as Shimazaki Haruka, a member of AKB48 – who always need fans’ love. That’s all.
