Natsumi is such a likeable, talented, fun, pretty girl. It's a shame she isn't a bit more popular. And indeed, her scenes in the IV's she has been in were nothing short of epic.

I really hope they she will find some more work appealing to her because she deserves it from all I've seen. It's a waste letting that personality(and body) go to waste.

I've only recently been noticing Matsubara, but I glad I have been cus I think she's downright gorgeous. That's really all I have to say about her since I don't know much about her at all

I hope she can become more popular in the future so I can see her on tv more lol

I always enjoy spotting Nattsumii in the various songs she gets to take part in... her smile always lights up the stage.

I'm guessing that she has been concentrating more upon her acting, I remember seeing that she was in a stage play with Harugon very recently. You can certainly see her confidence in delivering lines in the 1/48 segments posted above.

I loved seeing her perform Kanpeki gu none at the previous Team Ogi festival, and REALLY hoped that she would get a chance in the WH lineup, but I see that's not to be.

I just hope that she doesn't get overlooked.... an absolute beauty, with real talent and presence.

I honestly think it is too late for her now to get a big push. She is 21, so she probably only has a few more years left.

She kind of looks like Park Gyuri from Kara...

^No hotlinking and please use thumbs for big pics like that.

And yeah, I sorta see the resemblance. Never really noticed it, but we hardly get to see Matsubara anymore these days

Looks: 6 - stylish, but not memorable. Too dark as well.
Message: 5 - too negative. Yes, she didn't make it last year, but whining about it won't make fans vote for you.
Entertainment value: 5
Total: 16 points

This video oozed depression, which sucks because Natsumi's both funny and beautiful.

She was the only one of Team A who didn't rank at all, which actually sucks a lot (I don't understand how's possible to not get more promotion, considering her agency, looks and talents). She was part of the preliminars and I expected to see her keeping a spot as part of the single.

The severity of the AKB general election not displayed on TV

“Matsubara Natsumi sits in her chair without her Team A companions. In the AKB 27th Single General Election, Team A had “complete domination”.

Team A has often been called the “face of AKB” and the “AKB Star Crops” and has originated popular members such as Takahashi Minami, Shinoda Mariko, and led by the now graduated Maeda Atsuko.

For everyone ranked in the preliminary results from 64th to 16th, their rank had been held on election day.

But on the election day, Natsumi’s name was not in the list of 64. Natsumi, who was often seen applauding, was sometimes seen just staring straight at the glittering stage which was full of her team members.

When everything was finished, Natsumi’s face wore a tearful look. It was at this moment you realize the severity of the General Elections and know that it is not all a colorful spectacle.

But even after apologizing to her team and fans, Natsumi was able to spell out a positive feeling!”

I hope brighter things come for Nattsumii and the rest of the girls during this year; t's barbaric how some untalented girls are promoted heavily when true talents are in the shadows; I'd be negative if I were in her place as well, how can you convey stress and frustration, and lack of reward and chances for the hard work.

I hope management doesn't consider it's too late for Nattsumi to receive a bit of pushing. She has written a few words to her otas on her blog, I was so close to start crying when I finished reading her opinion.

It looks like she was having a hard time while writing this entry. Who wouldn't? Is she disappointed? Is she sad? I would be drowning in a sea of emotions, but isn't she doing her best to actually look forward for something good?

I hope she doesn't graduate any soon; but having so many sister groups and the KKS behind ... it's hard to tell.

Natsumi Matsubara on her blog

General election was over.
First of all, to those who voted for me.....
I'm so sorry.
Thinking upon how you were feeling when you spent money to buy CDs to vote for me, and how you were feeling when you found my name wasn't in the ranking.... I couldn't stop tears.

And... I wanted to stand on the stage together with other members of team A...
But I also feel that it may be lucky that I could see their faces from the waiting seat (from the stage, she can only see member's back).
And.... because I hate losing, now I'm filled with the energy to live tomorrow.
Don't look down, but look up and walk forward!
