Haruna is an ultra pro. I think she is leagues ahead of most AKB48 members when it comes to TV experience and knowing how to play the audience and interact with other guests.
- She's been involved with TV ever since she was a kid
- She knows how to make of the most out of variety appearances
- She has a beautiful, model-like appearance
- She is much smarter than her 'airhead' character indicates, no doubt about it.
- She's a true idol on stage. The expressions, dance moves, etc are all there
She had the Ogura Yuko voice going on when she was a teenager, but luckily that changed and she actually has a very nice singing voice as well.
At first she seemed kinda stuck in her clique with the other 1st gen girls, but when I see how she interacts with the KKS on Ariyoshi, I think she's become more open lately. However, I still don't get why she bullies Rena so much... luckily Rena ignores her. lol
She deserves her #6 spot and she is one of AKB48's true aces.
