In the AKB48 17th single senbatsu election, which took place from May to June 2010, she ranked 28th, the highest of all trainees
She won AKB48's 3rd janken taikai, earning the center position for a new AKB48 single (Eien pressure).
I read online that she couldn't handle the pressure and broke down many times. (She wanted to give up?) <- This happened quite some time ago so my memory's fuzzy.
She reminded me of Shinoda Mariko (篠田麻里子). Like how they never gave up? Although the pressure of standing in the center was real for paru, because she didn't give up, here she is among senbatsu.
Then on, she slowly gained popularity and rose. It was really nice seeing her climb up ;')
There were many haters around who hates her for her salty treatment saying she's not qualified to be up there blabla..
It was really sad to see here absent for many AKB events and MVs because of her respiratory and asthma problems (I wonder if shes ok now..)
And here's the only few frames she appeared in in the entire kuchibiru ni be my baby MV:
And i'm also glad that she took part in Kimi wa Melody's single where most of the Ex-AKB48 members came back (Acchan, Marichan, Tomochin, Takamina and Yuuko)
Here's here Election Record:
Team History:
AKB48 Kenkyuusei → Team Unknown → Team 4 → Team B → Team A
During the 45th Single Senbatsu Sosenkyo, she mentioned that she has been considering graduation and that yuihan stopped her. There was a baitoru CM sometime later where she mentioned that she wold graduate. Because she mentioned that she had thoughts on graduation during the elections, fans kinda guess that she might be making her official graduation announcement soon. (More like we all thought that the baitoru CM was her graduation announcement cause there wasn't any official annoucement yet ;<)
FINALLY, after the long wait (Yes the wait seemed very long cause it took jijipress sometime to post her speech on youtube?) I finally heard those words from her mouth. (;<) She will be graduating on December 26th 2016 and her last handshake would be on December 24th (HER GRADUATION CAME FASTER THAN NYAN's ;<)
Her final single will be high tension. And her graduation song Better.
Some screencaps from the short pv that AKB48's official youtube released. (Shes so angel like here)
Dear Paru, i wish you all the best in your career after you graduate from AKB48. I'll still be following your works so lets try hard together! ;) I'd really hope you will not give up singing (I REALLY LIKE YOUR SWEET VOICE). Thank You for lighting up 5 years of my life (the 5 years i was in the AKB48 fandom) and i know you would continue to do so. It really encouraged me when i see you raising up even though you felt the pressure. I'm glad you didn't give up halfway. You're efforts payed off. Your ranks in senbatsu dropped once you entered kami7 ;<. It mattered alot to you, you were sad about it. (That time i felt: Oh.. Paru isn't 100% salty, shes still a human after all).
Thank You for the wonderful ParU photobook! I hope you would recover from your illnesses and become healthier and more energetic! (MORE SALT PLEASE)
Paru's center costumes :)
Years later, will i forget this salty person? Will i still follow the AKB48 fandom? Will i still continue liking jpop? I hope i'll still be here in the japanese fandom. I hope whenever i open lj, i'll remember i made this post and remember how much paru encourage me during these 5 years of my life ;') ぱるさん、本当にありがとうございました。お疲れ様です。
