SDN48's CinDy to join Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Temporarily

Aki-P's Google+ was really shocking yesterday night. No one would really have expected that CinDy, 1st Generation member of SDN48 and AKB48, would be chosen to join Warota7 (short for Watarirouka Hashiritai 7), even though it's temporary.

Ever since the sudden announcement of Nacchan leaving AKB48 and the sub-unit, Warota7, many fans including me were wondering who would be taking Nacchan's place in Warota7? If no one is replacing, wouldn't make it Warota6? Wouldn't staying with 6 members against the contract?

Well, it was revealed yesterday night on Aki-P's Google+ that CinDy will be temporarily taking that place. Of course, it surprised many people, even the 6 members of Warota7, and brought up quite some heated discussions - even Warota7 had their own meeting on this matter through SMS. CinDy, now 26, is 6 years older than Harugon (Nakagawa Haruka) - who is the oldest among the 6 remaining members of Warota7, plus SDN48 would be disbanding after the farewell concert at the end of this month. Many would say, 'How can this be possible?? Is Aki-P joking?'. If look deeper into the matter, CinDy joining Warota7 temporarily isn't that impossible actually.

Some facts listed that are in favour of CinDy joining Warota7:

• CinDy was the unofficial leader of Team B before the mass reshuffle of the teams in 2009
• Her princess character fits the image of Warota7
• Warota was initially intended to be a sub-unit consisting of Team B members
• CinDy's agency is also OgiPro (same as the other Warota7 members except for Wasamin who transferred)
• CinDy knows the history of Warota/Warota7 [reason links to point 1]

First three points from Melos no Michi

I am actually okay with Aki-P's decision but even though it's temporary, I hope that CinDy would really be treated as a real member and not just a spare as it won't look very good to be just a spare, and that it won't drag too long either as after all, CinDy is already 26.

Translated posts of the Warota7 members' responses are on Bilingual48 and translation of Aki-P G+ posts are on Melos no Michi.

AKB48 6th Anniversary - My 3rd Anniversary

Debuted in 8th December 2005, AKB48 started out with 20 first generation memebers, which are later known as Team A. After 6 years of journey, AKB48 have grown to become a very popular idol group in Japan and also spreading around the world at a really fast pace. Currently it consists of more than 48 members with 16 members in each of Team A, K and B, and 11 members in Team 4. Not to forget, 33 Kenkyuusei members (Research Students/Trainees), excluding Eguchi Aimi - the virtual idol made in collaboration with Glico's 'アイスの実' CM.

I shall not talk too much into the history, which I already posted on a page of this blog, and go straight to my reflection on my three years of AKB48 fandom. Thus, can be considered 3rd Anniversary for me.

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 8th Single - へたっぴウィンク (Hetappi Wink)

News release of the 8th single was already announced long before the title was even released. Nearly a month ago, I received an newsletter from CDJapan which mentioned that Warota's 8th single is available for preorders already, even though there was still no album art, or even the title. The single would be official released on 3rd of August.

"Watari Roka Hashiri Tai 7/Title is to be announced" (From the email a month ago - posted here in my blog)

It was really surprising to see that the number 7 again as it was taken to be temporary for 'Valentine Kiss', which was released for Valentine's Day, and for 'Mamma, Grazie!' (Italian for 'Thank you, Mother'), which was released for Mothers' Day. Furthermore, Iwasa Misaki has already changed agencies, from Ogi Pro, which is the agency Warota is under, to Nagara Production, which is famous for enka talents. (Wasamin's dream is to be an enka singer, thus explains the switch in agencies)
I guess the plans for 'Hetappi Wink' and 'Mamma, Grazie!' was made before Wasamin switched to Nagara Pro. So, this could really be the last time we would be seeing a 7 member Warota? Most probably, unless OgiPro and NagaraPro collaborate, which is very unlikely.

Anyways, back to the new single, there would be 4 different types, Type A, B, C and the Regular Edition. If you have noticed, へたっぴ (Hetappi) is the cuter way of saying 下手くそ (Hetakuso), which means 'lack of skill'. Thus the title would actually mean 'Lacking in skill to wink'. Even the title sounds cute already >//< can't wait for it to be released!

Types A, B and C would include a trading card randomly selected from 7 kinds, and one from 3 kinds for the Regular Edition. First Press would also include an application card for the event, which is valid only in Japan. There would be a bonus photo if bought from CDJapan.

It was only this year that I took note of this sub-group more,  through their 7th single, 'Valentine Kiss'. It was also that very Promotion Video of that song that Wasamin (Iwasa Misaki) caught my eye and thus added her into my favourite list! >w<
Other than 'Valentine Kiss' and 'Yuuhi no Ijiwaru', after listening to Watarirouka Hashiritai's past singles, I also love quite a few other songs like, 'Kaze no Violin', 'Yaruki Hanabi', 'Kanpeki Gu~ No Ne' and 'Gyu'. I especially love the Mayuyu (Watanabe Mayu) solo tracks and am totally looking forward to this new single, especially Mayuyu's solo of course! She is also one of my top favourites! >w<

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 New Single

According to 渡り廊下走り隊 (Watarirouka Hashiritai) Official website, 渡り廊下走り隊7 (Watarirouka Hashiritai 7) would be releasing a new single on 3rd of August and there would be three limited versions (CD+DVD) at 1700円 each and a regular version (CD-only) at 1200円. The title and tracks are not confirmed as of yet.
Would post again once there is more news on the new single.

Finally! Have been waiting for some time already for a new single from them ^^ Loved their songs, especially the recent, 'バレンタイン・キッス' ('Valentine Kiss').
