I think a WH5 would be ok. Like going back to basics.

Going back to the basics would be:



WH as a trio looks weird... better keep Kikuchi and Komori on. The more the merrier.

^ Okashina sisters revival for the win.!

Everybody now: "Koi no CHU~INGU!"

And, now I'm going to probably have that stuck in my head all day.

The Ogi site has been updated:

http://ogipro.com/talent/watarirouka/

They replaced Nacchan's pic with Komori's. Wasamin's gone from the site as well.

Either this means they'll continue with that WH5 line-up... Or they can add Nonaka Misato and/or Matsubara Natsumi? Want/not want?

edit: ironically, today is WH's 3rd year anniversary 

So it seems definite that WH is having much bigger changes than just Nacchan leaving - and this was already happening before her departure, if Wasamin was gone already before that.

I can't actually find where they have changed the WH profile on that page at ogipro, unless they've changed it again since BarrieV's post.

I truly hope we haven't seen the end of WH!  Its links back to Onyanko Club and other historic j-pop themes make it too valuable to lose.

Edit:  Ah, thanks, BarrieV - pretty much answered this over here - and I couldn't get the ogipro page to load properly but now it is, so I see what they've done with the profile pic.  I'm reassured to see 5 members remaining...  I enjoy all of them and I'm glad to see that both Rabutan and Mikapon will remain working together, as I enjoy the degree of similarity in their appearance in the same manner I used to enjoy seeing Aibon and Nono together in W  (I know it's not much of a comparison, but it works in my head    )

AKB48's Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 to Be Animated in Shin-chan
posted on 2012-02-23 20:00 EST

Mayuyu, others make AKB48's 1st anime cameos as themselves

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7, a sub-group of the all-female idol group AKB48, will be animated for guest appearances in the Crayon Shin-chan television series on March 9 and 16. Mayu Watanabe, Aika Ōta, Haruka Nakagawa, Ayaka Kikuchi, Mika Komori, and Misaki Iwasa will appear as their animated selves in the two-episode story arc titled "Uchū Kazoku Nohara Da zo" (We're the Nohara Space Family). This will be the first time that members of AKB48 will appear in anime as themselves.

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 goes by the nickname "Warota," and in the upcoming Crayon Shin-chan episodes, the group members will be extraterrestrials born on the planet Warota. They meet the family of the anime's title kindergartener Shinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara when the family goes searching for Shin-chan's grandfather Ginnosuke. Shin-chan's grandfather went missing looking for pickling stones on Warota.

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 is also contributing the theme song for Crayon Shin-chan: Arashi o Yobu! Ora to Uchū no Princess, the 20th Crayon Shin-chan film which will open on April 14. The sub-group's ninth single, "Kibō Sanmyaku" (Hope Mountains), has been the opening theme song of the Crayon Shin-chan television series since November.

Watanabe, a self-professed anime fan who goes by the nickname "Mayuyu," said that she was excited to be voice-acting for an anime for nearly the first time, especially for an anime she has always watched since she was little. She is also starring in the AKB0048 television anime this April.

で、発表します。

…………………渡り廊下走り隊7の新メンバーは…………………浦野一美。

これなら、いいよね。


異論は認める。

でも、本気だよ。
暫定的だけど。
なんか、面白そうじゃないか。
浦野、頑張れ！

[Melchizadek]

^ Well, I seriously didn't expect that. 

[sakura_drop_]

 


I still can't believe it... Somehow...

But...Cindy, ganba....tte???...

[SomethingWild]

First thought: lmao.

Second thoughts:
- Not too surprising since Cindy's with the same agency
- Cindy makes more sense than Natsubara Natsumi or Nonaka Misato because Cindy already has a strong bond with most WH members, being the old Team B captain.
- Cindy's pretty good at acting like a kid, but she can also be the big sister character when needed.

I just hope they go for a slightly different image since WH's average age is now 19.3 

That picture of mother hen Sayumi and the eight new MM kids springs to mind 

[Datalanche]

I 100% support this. It's a hilarious and awesome development.

[winner]

Totally makes more sense than the 3 added members. They haven't made much of a difference so far.
The original group was all about the kids, it'll be easy now to poke fun at big sis Cindy.

Most transferred akb member ganbatte~

"I'm Urano Kazumi, CinDy!
As I don't have a Gugutasu account, i'll be borrowing Shinopii's (Shinobu) account to write this!
Some minutes ago, I was contacted by various staff members..
Now after seeing Akimoto-sensei's Gugutasu, I'm finally understanding it..
Myself, Urano Kazumi
I love the Watarirouka Hashiritai songs
and specially after I got the chance to perform "Kanpeki Guu no ne!" in the Team Ogi concert
my feelings changed from liking, to admiration.
To be honest,
I'm really confused due to the sudden announcement and
AKB48
Team A to Team B
and then
Now in SDN48...
My 4th transfer is
something as to unexpected as Watarirouka Hashiraitai..
It could be a bit too sudden but..
I'll do my best with all my might!
So I....
Will aim to the center!!!!!"

I hope CinDy will be made leader and Center
