Maeda Atsuko And Ryo Katsuji Finalize Divorce

This is finally the end of the rumors about Maeda Atsuko's divorce rumors as she herself shared the truth about her private life just so to make everyone shut up and move on. Last April 23, Maeda Atsuko revealed via her official Instagram account that she's now divorced with Ryo Katsuji and the main reason is because of different lifestyle and values. Despite the end of their marriage, Acchan still wished the people to support her husband which clearly shows that they are separating in good terms, right? She also stressed out on her post that she will devote herself to her son as a single parent and also to being an actress. 

Maeda Atsuko And Ryo Katsuji In Talks With Lawyers Regarding Divorce

Early morning of January 30, new reports about Maeda Atsuko and Ryo Katsuji's divorce exploded again but this time they are already in talks with their lawyers. It seemed like their marriage already meets its end. 

It is known that Maeda Atsuko and Ryo Katsuji married July 30th of 2018 after 4 months of dating only and Acchan gave birth to a baby boy March 4th of 2019. If we are to count the months of her pregnancy it seemed like Acchan got pregnant even before they got married. Is it a shotgun wedding? Could be or could be not. It's for you to decide. 

Ex-AKB48 Member Itano Tomomi Got Married!

Another former AKB48's member and part of original Kami 7, Itano Tomomi (29) announced marriage. She married baseball player Keiji Takahashi (23) who's 6 years younger than her. It was reported that the two got acquainted through a common friend in the spring of 2019. They dated for 1 and a half year before getting married.

Since Tomochin announced it via her official Instagram, her friends who were also ex-AKB48 members left congratulatory messages through comments mainly Maeda Atsuko, Takahashi Minami, Shinoda Mariko and more. The three who first got married from the original Kami 7. 

Maeda Atsuko To Leave Ota Pro, Her Agency Since Debut, And Start Anew As Freelancer This 2021

It was reported that Maeda Atsuko will leave her agency Ota Production, who she worked with since debut, to become a freelancer. The news broke out when she posted on her Instagram as well as Ota Pro's officially statement released from their website. Her contract with this company will last till December 31 this year only. 

Acchan mentioned on her Instagram account that she wanted to have fun and be courageous taking this new path. 

I think it's really a good decision if she wanted to achieve that 'fun' she's talking about. Probably she felt restricted being under an agency she has been with in her entire career. I don't think there's much to be worried about either, at this point she has made a name in the industry and people liked watching her. Productions will cast her as their actress if they really wanted to. She isn't someone that's name could be pushed over the back just because she went on solo, she has proven that when she graduated from the all hit idol group AKB48 back then. So I'm sure that she'll do fine on her own without agency now. It's not like she had announced retirement that we couldn't see her anymore either. But I'm curious how she'll market herself in the future. Anyways, I'm proud of her in whatever she'll do in the future. I really admire her courage, it's something to be jealous about, really.

AKB48 Is Still The Best J-Idol Group Of All Time

The title is pretty extreme right? But for me, AKB48 is really the best J-Idol group of All Time for me. Even though my favorite generation in AKB has ended their legacy and impact still reigns in my Jpop fandom. You all know how I try to immerse myself in the Japanese language and that I'm continuously looking for new artists that I could listen to and maybe motivate me too, right? No matter how much I try, I still go back to AKB48. Their sound is familiar, giving me nostalgia and it makes me want to cry. lol Their music feels great, they are all impressive and maybe I'm reacting this way because I have great memories of this group in the past. Even though I've became outdated about them for a long time, as my fandom stilled into hiatus, my admiration towards them still sparks every time I listen to their song. 

AKB Update 2020 (Mayu's Retirement, Sayaka's Marriage Announcement, Acchan's Marriage Problems)

There were so many things I've learned lately about AKB48 and most of them are shocking in my perspective. Well, since I was a massive fan from a long time ago, up until now I am still following some news about them in my social media feed. I just wanted to write about them again just because I wanted to share to you guys some of my reaction over these shocking news I've learned.

First of all, about Watanabe Mayu's retirement to entertainment industry. The news actually blew up June 1 but I just only knew about this after a week or 2 from the announcement. The reason given was to focus more on the betterment of her health (both mental and physical). To be honest, I am not going to argue about that reason at all. She debuted along with the other members at a very young age in AKB48 and the pressure of the idol life and the ranking, I'm sure, took a toll on her mental health. I wish for her fast recovery at the same time a fulfilling life outside the entertainment.

2nd would be the shocking news I learned about Akimoto Sayaka. She's a half Japanese and Filipino, so she's someone special to my heart. Aside from that she was one of the members in AKB before that I found extremely funny. Like, funny that I would really laugh out loud. I could listen to his comedic remarks without cringing like I suffered from Takahashi Minami, lol. I really love Akimoto Sayaka, and I could only hope to see her more like. Such a sunshine. 

Oh I almost forgot, the news about her. Well, she's already married! Congratulations, Sayaka! She announced that to her official twitter last June 22, posting an image with her husband who happened to be the rapper PUNPEE. It was said that they marry last June 20, 2020. When I read about this news, I was really shock for some reason. Maybe because it's I wasn't expecting this anytime soon, like there were no signs or were there any? I honestly thought that it could be Tomomi Itano or Oshima Yuko that would enter first in the married club but it's Sayaka. But that was just a first reaction to it, but later on, I came to accept already 'coz we don't have a say on this anyway. lol I'm just so happy for her, and I could only wish that they would really last long forever. 

Oshima Yuko Studying English

When I was MIA from writing, I've heard before that Oshima Yuko went on hiatus from her entertainment career around year 2017 as well. The reason behind was to strengthen her language skills. It was basically to study English. Now that's nice! I love idols/celebrities who are setting an inspiration in widening their knowledge. So now I know why some of Oshima's instagram captions were in English.

But of course just like any other language students out there, you just can't perfect the grammar yet in the beginning. It's a learning process so I'll give her 5 stars for the effort in posting in English. I hope she gets better day by day and won't be discouraged to keep on practicing. 

Oshima Yuko Instagram Account

I'll make her as an inspiration when it comes to studying Japanese. Come to think of it, I'm using that app to express whatever in mind in Japanese as well. Yes, I'm trying and practicing hard too.

Here are some of Oshima's posts with English captions:

Original AKB48 Kami 7 Marriages

We all know that I've been a huge fan of AKB48 before. And I think it's only proper for me to actually celebrate a very important event of their lives. That's non other than their "marriage".
Yep, that thing is inevitable like Thanos.

Anyway, in commemoration of all the broken hearts I mean the marriage of our favorite idols from the past, let me list down here their marriage announcement dates.

1. Maeda Atsuko (Announcement: July 31, 2018)

Who would ever know that the first ever member of Kami 7 that announced graduation would be the first one to get married as well? Just proved she's first at anything not just the general elections. lol
Kidding aside, according to the news, Maeda and her lucky husband registered their marriage July 30, 2018. Their corresponding agencies delivered the news to every Japanese media the following day. By August 1, 2018 the husband actually posted on his instagram which basically to confirm and send thank you greetings.

If in case you are curious, Maeda was 27 years old and her husband was 31 years old by the time they tied the knot.

Well at least our Maeda is now happy and with a baby boy now. Huwa! Time surely flies by so fast! I can't believe we're all getting old.

It's Still AKB

It took me months to actually post something here again. Anyways, hello readers of this blog!

Apparently I'm really tremendously busy with work. It's though as if I'm in a whole new world. Well, it is. Coz I've been working in my previous work as a design/project architect for about 2 years and a half, while here in my new work I'm a field architect. Which is more about building what's been drawn, solving problems from cost to construction application. It's really a challenge everyday and seems like time isn't enough in a day everyday. Some might say it's a time management issues, but if you'll look closely and if you really are in a situation like mine, you'll just end up having the same thoughts as me. 

It ain't for a one person work. And come to think of it, we are working from 7AM to 4PM, Mondays-Saturdays. That's what's in the contract that I've signed. But eventually you'll realize you've been working for about 12 hours a day. It's really unhealthy and depressing to have such a day routine all over again week by week. I'm quite thinking if everything is all worth it in the end. Yes it's true that there are no times that you'll get bored coz every time is essential and every bits of it has multiple tasks to do. As well as you have so much to learn everyday. But then it's the mental, physical, and emotional aspects that are always in battle. Like everyday is a war of your life. Feels like I'm exaggerating things right? But no, I'm not. It's really the life I have right now. 

Not much time for self, family and even fandom anymore and it's really sad. I know I have the choice to leave, but I still am thinking whether it's just a phase or it's really cruel. Must be a sign also that I'm not working hard enough? I don't know, perhaps I need more time to decide. Anyways, I'll do my best everyday. Coz I've signed myself into this job, so I should do what it requires and whatever succeeds in the said contract. 

Personal aside, if you'll ask me what have I been stalking in fandom when I rarely have the time. It's them. Coz I still love these legends.

AKB48 Nostalgia

I don't know if it's just a temporary feeling, but my AKB48 love is resurfacing. It's quite a shock since I'm sure I was over them. lol But here I am now, listening to Maeda Atsuko's Flower single. hah!

And before I even found myself listening to her again, I was re-watching AKB48 graduation concerts earlier. Can you believe that? It's a first miracle in my 2016! lol Seriously, who would have thought that this could happen?

Perhaps because facebook automatically plays a video on my feed about the recent reunion of original members that caught my attention. I did stop scrolling when I saw Maeda and Oshima together again. ww And Sayaka, I miss you so much too. Tomochin.. omygod my feelings right now, I cannot control. Haha! It's fun knowing that I hadn't erased my downloaded videos and pictures of this wonderful group. Ahh, I love myself for that.

Anyways, I pretty much have the urge to continue my fanfics right now. Hopefully this motivation and overflowing nostalgia ain't gonna stop, so I can fulfill that wishful thinking. I wonder if there will be people from way back who will be happy to this announcement. Hello my fanfic readers, I missed you all. lol

Come to think of it, it's my first blog entry of the year 2016! Yay for that! Happy New Year everyone, even though it's a bit late for this greeting. But hey, it's still January! Better late than nothing! www

I'm not that updated anymore about the girls, all I know is that Takamina is about to graduate. (or she graduated already?) lol Now that's exciting. Can someone tell me updates about them? If it's not too much to ask for. Oh god, I have a lot of catching up to do. Although I pretty much am informed that Atsuko is single again. HAHAHAHA!

Pics were from her birthday? I can't believe I hadn't even remember the date. Ahhhh... Anyways I think I'll be forgiven. Omygosh, I love this feeling again...

Tomochin's Tokyo Dome Graduation Part 2

Here are the pics from Tomochin's epic Tokyo Dome graduation yesterday. 

Okay I need to highlight that picture above because it's incredibly beautiful! Atsuko and now Tomochin.. there's only one person that can catch a wonderful hug filled with love, Takamina. The mighty Takaboy, you lucky one. ww Kidding aside, it's always touching to see how these graduated members shows their appreciation over their close friends. Just by seeing the solemn hug scene is just so precious. I can feel the love and gratitude being expressed.  

Tomochin's Tokyo Dome Graduation

I think I deserve a break from work right? ww So let me post something in here.

Tomochin why you graduate? OTL  lol I love you like how everyone else love you. There can be no other Tomochin the shy beautiful girl in AKB. It's only you princess Tomochin.

This was epic. And to see Tomochin's reaction over this...

My Precious Fandom

Having a busy life with full-time job having difficult working and managing environment, full OTs handling projects' working drawings only BY MYSELF. At the same time having a part-time job as a designer at another firm, no more rest. Stressed always and pressure's haunting me down. This is my archi life.

So what exactly are the things that makes me happy right now? Without taking too much time from my works, only fandom. Atsuko and AKB48 make me really happy.. Augh, if only I can just give them my whole life to show how much I appreciate them, then I would. Sigh Ahhh Thank you Aki-p [heart heart] for bringing them up and help them shine. I'm happy to be an avid fangirl of these special people.

When Different Worlds Collide:Good or Bad?

Okay I have something to share that happened to me this week. Apparently there was a fangirl as well at our office, aside from me. Of course since I'm just in my almost 2 mos. at the office, I'm hiding some things that aren't supposed to be leaked yet. And to be honest I was not really aiming to let them know about it at all. But yeah since fans are prone to sharing things about their fandom, I wasn't able to stop my fcking excited emotions on a boring day at the office. There was a time the other fangirl at our office talked about her kpop fandom revolving around bias, otps and etc. And automatically I bursted out my biases. Lame right? Ah I need to control my feelings, help! Atsuko, you're not helping.

AKB48's 32nd Single Senbatsu Election (5th SSK)

Okay.. There were quite a lot of surprises this election gave us, don't you think? There are also quite a lot of expectations from the fans/wotas which a few of them ended up being disappointed. (including me?ww) But what's done is done, so all we can do is just react over things and share our opinion towards that event and then accept later on. (vise versa www)

Witnessing  the election through live stream was already enough for me to observe small and big things at the same time. I just wanted to elaborate and share my opinion over things that had happened. A few things that I find very essential to me. So let me start this.

Preparations for Maeda Atsuko's 22nd Brithday

Since I love Maeda Atsuko very much, I've decided to prepare something big for her birthday. I know some of you might think that it's still so fucking early  for that but you know, I'm a busy person and time flies by so fast when I'm working. So in order to do not let her special day pass by like any ordinary days, I'm preparing in a much earlier time.

So here are my plans... I hope some of you who are interested will participate to answer some questions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Plan #1: Party!

Of course like any other birthday celebration, a food preparation for that will be granted. I shall be making my own party here at my house and well, I'll try to post it on my blog as well. That's for July 10 exactly. If you want to celebrate it with me then that's fine.. let's meet! :))) But heck that's a working day, maybe at night? XD

Plan #2: Gifts!

BKA48!

HAHAHAHA! okay wait! let's save more energy to laugh later as this blog entry proceeds.

Damn, that special group that was created because of 'Bakaness' (let me just create that term) is so precious! Actually when that program Mecha Mecha Iketeru! AKB48 Kimatsu Test, about our favorite AKB members were tested with their intellectual abilities including English proficiency, I was not able to witness all events, QandA and more. But I'm quite sure I was able to highlight some special and important happenings like who are the 7 bakas. lol

From the 31st single, Sayonara Crawl, different music videos were revealed today (or should I use the term leaked?). But my favorite among all of them would probably BKA48's Hasute to Wasute 「ハステとワステ」! HAHAHAHA! Damn fcking funny!!! Seriously when I played the the video I wasn't sure yet what I got myself into by that time. But damn KAWAEI RINA's joyful reactions at the very beginning caught me. I was defenseless as her joy go straight to my heart and decided to party with her mistook score on her exam. DAMN what had happened? lol

Sayonara Crawl + AtsuMina

Have you ever listen to a song that somehow stimulates something inside of you? Somewhat like giving you inspiration, energy just by listening to it? Well to me it happens a lot, and every time I'm discovering new songs that somehow fit that description above always makes me happy. It felt like a vitamin. I bet almost everyone experience this kind of attachment with music.

I blog before about 7時12分の初恋 before, right? During my thesis it was my getaway from stress and pressure. And the power of this song to me is still unbelievably strong up until now. But guess what? I have another song that made me so attached with it. From AKB's 31st Single, Sayonara Crawl.

I've been listening to this ever since I've started working. haha feels refreshing and stress free for me. 

You can check out the lyrics in here: Sayonara Crawl Lyrics , The single will be out by May 22, '13. 

Right now I'm learning it on fingerstyle guitar. Hopefully I can finish it all the way. 

Also there's other thing that made me so happy, T_T My AtsuMina energy was finally filled with the help of our Mariko-sama. Oh goodness, Mariko-sama you're an angel sent from above.

Because I Miss Atsumina

This heavenly couple is torturing me and the other hardcore atsumina shippers.. totally ignoring the fans, Atsu it's too painful now especially when you're tweeting about Yuko. orz

So yesterday I've decided to feed the hungry atsumina shipper inside of me and edit some pictures, combine them and start hallucinating. 

I should be creating a fanfic about this but I can't find the words to write down my ideas on paper. = = I need the real atsumina to fill my energy pack and determination. Argh.
