AKB General Manager Togasaki presents Handshake event report at Seibu Dome, March 3rd

  March 3, 2013

Let’s look back today’s handshake event at Seibu Dome, Saitama!

As usual, the event is held two days in a row during 2-days weekend.

For some reason, Oshima Ryoka, one of members who Tanochan is the most closest, slept over at Muto Tomu’s house!?

Muto Tomu 3/3 9:16

Good morningー☆

I don’t know why, but Ryoka came my home for sleepover yesterday!

Since she was a bit tired, she wasn’t as noisy as usual lol

Oh by the way, today’s the Girls’ Day in Japan, so today you probably found a lot of posts from members mentioned the day? Like this one.

Shinoda Mariko 10:30

Today is the Girl’s Festival day♪ I got a picture sent from my parents \(^o^)/  These are the handmade dolls for the Girls’ Festival ♪ which my grandma made when I was born — it is the same age as me (* `ω’)

Togasaki Tomonobu 11:24 AM

My report for yesterday’s handshaking session was not as good as it should have been because of an unforeseen event, so I am going to do my best and efficiently report about the event today!!
By the way, the wind is so strong…

Togasaki Tomonobu 12:13 PM

It’s Girls’ Festival and “MIMI NO HI” today, that’s why we’re going to have “Ear Ranking” event today!!
There’s going to be fortune telling, which will be done by telling you what your ears say about your fortune.

Captain of AKB “Ear Club” LOLOLOLOL

Togasaki Tomonobu 12:16 PM

It’s Ms. Mimi Nakatani, a fortune teller who can do a reading of your ears!!

And then, here’s Kuramochi, who has continued touching and tasting ears for the five years.


SOURCE
Togasaki Tomonobu 12:18 PM

Ms. Mimi read her ear in a moment!!
While Kuramochi is enjoying Katorena’s ears.

She’s talking to ears.

This is uncanny…..


SOURCE

.

LOL Nyan! What are you doing? Warming up your ears???? 

Togasaki Tomonobu 12:19

Kuramochi is so good.
Go ahead!!


SOURCE

.

And then, Ms. Mimi announced the ranking of members who have the luckiest ears based on her examination.

Togasaki Tomonobu 12:24

Kojiharu ranked third in the Ear Ranking fortune telling!!
It’s so cute that she’s so pleased even by things like this.


SOURCE
Togasaki Tomonobu 12:26 PM

A while ago, Tomochin looked a little angry when Kuramochi groped her ears. Now as Kuramochi announced Tomochin’s ears won the second place, she looks really happy!


SOURCE
Togasaki Tomonobu 12:27 PM

Ms. Mimi chose Paruru for the second place.


SOURCE
Togasaki Tomonobu 12:30

As a matter of course, Ms. Kuramochi chose this person as the first place.

It is Kojiharu!!

According to her Kojiharu’s ears are transparent…

Kojiharu said, “I don’t know where my ears are…”.
You’re really amusing, Ms. Kojima.


SOURCE

.

And the person who has the luckiest ears is…..

By the way, don’t you think Sakiko looks freezing? Hope she won’t catch a cold after the event..

Togasaki 12:32

The person who was ranked first by Ms. Mimi is Kawaei!!
By the way, people who have big earlobes are not rich people. Instead, it is said that they’re gluttons…
I didn’t know that.


SOURCE
Togasaki 12:34 PM

They are announcing the last place that everyone is curious about!!
First of all, Kuramochi is going to announce her last place.

It looks like the last place is Kitahara.
She said that she doesn’t feel attractiveness from her ears.


SOURCE

.

Workout for ears to make them bigger!?!? Anyways, Katorena looks insanely cute with this hairstyle.

Togasaki 12:37

Katorena was ranked last in the Ear Fortune telling by Ms. Mimi.

It’s shocking!!

However, she was told that her ear will grow bigger and bigger if she does workout for ears.

It’s graduation season. So they prepared a special section to feature members who graduate high schools and junior high schools this month.

Togasaki 13:01

They’re going to have a graduation production again today. It’s a huge composition.
By the way, it looks like the calligraphy brush is about the same height as Takamina!!
Graduation is a new start.
It’s exciting.

Togasaki 1:04 PM

The maestro Sakiko is playing the piano for the song “SAKURA NO HANABIRA TACHI”, and they are singing the song with everyone in the venue.

Togasaki 13:09

They’re expressing their determination for their graduation.
I keenly felt that both Kawaei and Iwatate are thinking a lot of things.


SOURCE
Togasaki 13:13

Inside the venue hall, there were a lot of shouts from the fans saying, “Congratulations on your graduation!”.
Hearing that made me feel that I want to graduate from SOMETHING as well.

Tomu is so handsome in the 2nd photo….

Togasaki 13:16

They’re going to present the titles for the composition, and let the fans in the venue decide which title they want the most.
Once the title has been decided, they will be writing on a huge composition paper!!

Nattsun’s composition, titled “My Treasure” got the loudest cheers from fans.

Togasaki 15:09

There’s a chance that the members (of Radio Broadcast) will call you themselves?!!
Please do participate if you have time!

(You can share your genius idea for their radio show, like funny question, and send it to them. If you’re good enough, members will call you and use your idea.)

Nattsun was told to ride the crane and go to the top to read her composition aloud.
Nattsun wanted to say “I am afraid of heights”, but instead she said, “I am afraid of being afraid.”
The venue was filled with laughter. LOL
Take care going up seven meters from the ground!

Juri is showing off Natto mixed with something, probably an egg?

She stirred Natto so much that it ended up like this.

Togasaki 18:48

Oh….. okay

Since Takamina didn’t participate in today’s event, Yuko almost exclusively acted as MC alone, which must be tough even though she has a great talking ability.

Togasaki 7:30 PM

It was cold in “SEIBU DOME”.
Good job Yuko!!

Iwasa Misaki 22:10

I participated Kansai Collection as a guest model!★

It was a first time for me to walk runway and I was all alone….

On top of that, it was Kyosera Dome (Osaka Dome), the huge venue…. All of these things made me so nervous…..

Speaking of models, Abe Maria, aka Abemaru, lately is pretty close to Shinoda Mariko.

Though Mariko, as a fashion director, said she want to be a producer of Kojima Haruna since she is cute in whatever style, hanging out with Mariko will let younger members who are aspiring to become models learn lots of important lessons as well as give them inspirations.

Shinoda Mariko 19:42

Handshaking session at Seibu Dome is overー( *`ω´)
