[carenduna]

I guess they're going along with the old saying "There's no such thing as 'bad' publicity".
I do feel very sorry for Sashi though, things were going so well

The sites nsfw btw.
Well, things are getting a little bit ridiculous now. I didn't know buying Sashihara merchandise was included with a right to her virginity, some people

This is actually going good for both her and the totality of HKT48.
Because of this, HKT's getting more attention

[Jul3]

Just one day after joining HKT, she takes part in the HKT janken tournament... and loses in the first round to Cap'n AnaI-san 



So she doesn't get to take part as an AKB member any more...

Judging from all the pictures of her performances (like this one from today's janken) I can hardly tell which one is her, so it seems she is fitting in well...

[WindCaliber]

Old news, but this is my first time seeing it. Wondering if the picture is real? If it is, why would she have been fired?
