Storm Clouds looming over Maeda Atsuko’s international movie debut

”

So what is Maeda Atsuko doing lately?

”
Uhmm I can’t even confirm if she is still alive or not…

”
She can’t join AKB’s TV shows, she doesn’t have any TV shows that she regularly appears in.

She only can make appearance in TV shows as a special guest, so it’s natural her media exposure has severely decreased.

”

I think this is nothing surprising because she is now working as an actress.

”

She is not the kind of sensation that only lasts few months. So you can’t judge her by the amount of media exposure she has gotten.

It just that the period where she had to make a ton of appearances in the media has now finished.

She may want to have regular exposure in mainstream media. The key here is quality, not quantity.

”
They will promote Maeda Atsuko and AKB48 as one set in an important TV shows such as the year end grand music show, Kohaku.

”

Now that Yuko has been refraining from updating on Google Plus, it is possible that she is just trying to have minimal media exposure until things will be settled down….

”

By the way, if you watch AKB motor club, it’s full of Atsuko.

”
I watched AKBINGO, the episode where Maeda made her final appearance in the program.

I’m surprised how she was such cheerful girl back then….

Probably it has something to do with her age, but it made me surprised in some ways…

”
↑ She was a kind of girl who updates her blog 8 times a day until 2 years ago…

”

↑ She was so vigorous that she ate hella spicy food and ended up carried into a hospital.

”
So what is she doing now?

She won’t update her ameba blog anymore???

How do her fans obtain information about her?

”
I just think, it’s expected.

I would rather say it’s AKB48 (especially Sashihara) and the two from Oscar Promotion, Takei Emi and Gouriki Ayame, that are making an insane amount of media appearances.

People will soon tire of them.

”

She is baking Takoyaki.

”

I listened to the commentary by Maeda in the Sousenkyo and Sashihara in Janken tournament.

I must say Sashihara is really good at talking as she is quick in making remarks.

That’s why she is good at MC-ing and can make a witty retort in variety TV shows.

That’s what Maeda can’t do.

”
Though she was dubbed absolute Ace of AKB48,

she and her fans alike admit that she was an outstanding figure as a show-biz personality.

”

I don’t think an actress will have that much media exposure.

Thing about it. we don’t even see famous actresses like Ayase Haruka or Aragaki Yui often on TV.

”

Why don’t they let her enjoy the time off for, say 6 months, to study overseas….?

”
Even though she is considered in a same genre as Aragaki or Ayase,

If there wasn’t for Bunshun’s scandal report, she would make the covers of all the magazines.

I think her agency wants to make her have more exposure as a solo actress, and all sorts of magazines also want to use her.

Which means, they’ve been refraining from having media exposure.

”
And it’s also bad for her that the territorial dispute affected the movie which is supposed to be her first movie work after graduating AKB48…

”

”

↑ LOL What the heck is Japan-China Friendship?

It’s laughable…..

”

What a bad timing, as expected of TBS…
