[UPDATED] Post-“Produce48” coverage: Japanese AKB48G Trainees on social media

AKB48’s Takahashi Juri has posted a letter to her supporters on Twitter, along with a few photos:

Takashi wrote, “To National Producers, I want to take the time to thank you for cheering me since the debut evaluation.  I am grateful for your cheers and support.  Thank you and I love you”.

HKT48’s Imada Mina wrote, “#produce48 It was a truly wonderful and irreplaceable experience! Thank you very much for all of you who watched.  I was happy to meet a lot of people.  I will cheer for Izone.  Congratulations.”

HKT48’s Matsuoka Natsumi wrote “#produce 48  Thank you for your kindness! Congratulations to the twelve who will be debuting.  Sakura is really amazing! All the best!!!  Japan, we did our best!  Thank you for a wonderful reunion.  Thank you to all the National Producers, our staff and all the trainees!”

HKT48’s Murakawa Bibian wrote, “#Produce48 I’ve finished the live broadcast!  Congratulations to everyone who will be making their debut.  Those 100 days were pretty difficult but I grew up a lot and I met a wonderful group of people!  Thank you to the National Producers and the staff who’ve worked so hard! Thank you very much!”

応援してくださった皆さん本当にありがとうございました! 結果は良くなかったけどとても大切な仲間に会うことができました。 幸せです。 デビューが決まった12人のメンバー本当におめでとうございます! 応援しています。 本当にデビューがしたくて挑んだ事でした。 すごく残念です。 飽きられてしまった。 私の魅力は少ないです。努力します。 そしてもっとたくさんの方に応援してもらえるように頑張ります! 本当にありがとうございました!! どうか山田野絵を忘れないでください!! ・ Thank you very much for everyone you supported really! A result could meet my company who wasn’t good but is very important. I’m happy. I congratulate it in the member truth by which debuts are decided 12! I’m supporting. I’d like to debut really, and it was that I challenged. Very regrettable. You can have got tired. My allure is little. An effort is made. And I exert myself so that more people can support! Thank you very much really! Thank you very much really. Please don’t forget it…. ・ 응원하고 주신 여러분 정말 감사했습니다! 결과는 좋지 않았지만 아주 소중한 친구들을 만날 수 있었습니다. 행복합니다 데뷔가 결정된 12명의 멤버 정말 축하 드립니다! 응원하고 있습니다. 정말 데뷔를 하려고 도전한 일이었습니다. 대단히 유감입니다. 질리고 말았다. 제 매력은 적습니다. 노력합니다. 그리고 더 많은 분들이 응원할 수 있겠습니다! 정말 고마웠습니다. 여러분 정말 너무 사랑합니다 대단히 감사합니다. 제발 잊지 마세요…야마다노에‼︎ ・ #山田野絵 #yamadanoe #야마다노에 #produce48

Yamada Noe wrote on Instagram (note: Her English translator was a bit off, so we’ll provide a English translation), “Thank you very much everyone who has supported me!  While my result wasn’t good, I was able to meet wonderful group of people and I’m happy.  Congratulations to the 12 members who will be debuting, I will support you.  I am a disappointed because I really wanted to debut and it was a challenge.  I was exhausted, I have little charm, but I will keep doing my best.  I will do my best to support many more!  I’m very thankful to you, so please do not forget Yamada Noe!”

프로듀스 48 끝났습니다. 마지막까지 지켜볼 수 있어 정말 반가웠습니다. 하지만 데뷔하는 회원을 부를 때마다 나의 팬들 생각 나서 죄송하다며 아쉬움과 여러가지 감정이 섞이고 끝까지 웃고 있다!라고 결심했는데 눈물이 넘쳐흘러서 버렸습니다. 그만큼 저는 팬 여러분이 마음이 좋아하는 거라고 생각합니다! 그리고 이 프로듀싱 48에 참가하고 많은 분들을 만나서 배우는 것도 많고 무엇보다 가득 사랑을 받아습니다. 정말 정말 보물입니다. 저를 응원하고 준 여러분 저는 평생 이 일을 잊지 않아요! 그리고 앞으로도 나를 지켜봐서 주면 굉장히 기쁘네요. 지금까지 많은 응원 감사합니다 😊 . . . プロデュース48終わりました! 今思い返せば大変なこと辛いこと沢山あったのに出てくる想い出は楽しかった事、韓国のメンバーと一生懸命ジェスチャーで話したこと、先生に教えてもらったこと沢山練習して上手くできたこと、達成感でいっぱいになったこと。。。自分が生き生き出来てたんだなって実感しました。 . 韓国の友達、このプロジェクトに携わってたスタッフさん、そして私の背中を押してくださった国民プロデューサーの皆さんに沢山会う事が出来ないと思うと凄く寂しいですが、もう会えないわけじゃないから!私次第で可能性は無限にあるとおもうからこれからも諦めず皆さんにはやく会えるようまた沢山努力したいと思います!本当に沢山の応援ありがとうございました😊 . . . #プロデュース48 #감사합니다 #thankyou

“Produce48 is over.  It was really nice to be able to watch it until the end.  Each time they called the name of a debut member, I felt sorry for my fans.  But I felt like smiling and laughing until the end! I had tears overflowing.  That’s what I think fans like to see!  Participating in Produce48, I met many people and learned a lot.  I loved it more than anything and it really was a treasure.  Thank you for supporting me.  I will never forget this in my entire life!  Thank you so much for your support! #thankyou”.

会いたい🙊❤️

It appears that Nakanishi is back in Korea to hang out with some of her “Produce48” friends.  Kim Hyun Ah, posted the following video with her, Nakanishi, Park Minji, Choi Yeon Soo and Park Chan Joo.

Miyazaki Miho wrote that she cried a lot but she will begin tomorrow with a smile.

Miyazaki Miho also wrote on Instagram, “Everyday was treasured, no matter how difficult it was.  We will meet again in Korea ^^ Thank you!”.

Shitao Miu posted on Twitter, “Produce48, althought I didn’t debut, thank you to everyone who watched.  I am happy to be loved by many of the national producers.  Thank you”

Shiroma Miru hasn’t made an official statement, but from her post, it seems that the day after was quite tough and her planned handshake sessions were canceled.

Shiroma wrote, “Today’s handshake session for part 7 and 8 will be canceled.  For the people who came and the people who were looking forward to meeting me, I’m very sorry.  From parts 4-6, I was showing a lack of energy.  I’m sorry.  I love you and I’m frustrated that I am making you worry.  Now, I will rest.”

Fortunately, her fans were very understanding considering that they were in Korea late and went back to Japan with little sleep and had to make it to a handshake session in the afternoon.  It was not an easy schedule.

UPDATE: Shiroma Miru has posted a statement

プロデュース48、応援してくださった皆さん、支えて下さったスタッフの方々、先生方、本当に心から感謝しています。 この100日間は、わたしにとって、いろんな衝撃を与えてくれました。 はじめの頃は、ついていくのが精一杯で、迷い道に入った感じでした。 でも、苦しくて逃げ出したくなった時、練習生のみんなが、「大丈夫!沢山練習すれば、できるようになる!」って言ってくれたり、珠理奈さんが、「みる、苦しいけれど、これを乗り越えたら、わたしたちは、応援して下さる方に、最高に輝くパフォーマンスを、届けられるようになるよ。それが、楽しみで仕方ない!絶対プラスになる!」と、言ってくれました。 その言葉は、わたしの心のお守りでした。 デビューすることは、できませんでしたが、完全燃焼しました。最後まで、強い気持ちを持てたのは、いつも、熱く声援をしてくれた皆さんが、いたからです。 皆さんに出会えて、本当に幸せです。 これからも、目標にむかって前進あるのみです。見てて下さいね。 一緒にたくさんの壁を乗り越えてきた、練習生のみんな、大大大好きです! 可愛いくて、綺麗で、面白くて、魅力がいっぱいいっぱい!大好きで、すごく尊敬してます!本当にありがとうございました! 프로듀스 48, 응원 해 주신 여러분,지지 해 주신 스탭 분들, 선생님, 정말 진심으로 감사하고 있습니다. 이 100 일, 제게 여러가지 충격을주고주었습니다. 시작 무렵은 따라가는 것이 고작하고 고민 도로에 들어간 느낌이었습니다. 하지만 답답해서 도망 치고 싶어되었을 때, 연습생 모두가 “괜찮아! 많이 연습하면 할 수있게된다!”라고 말해 주거나 쥬리 씨가 “보면 괴로운 있지만이를 극복하면 우리는 응원 해 주시는 분들에게 최고로 빛나는 성능을 제공 할 수있게된다 있어요. 그것이 재미 어쩔 수없는! 절대 도움이된다! “라고 말해주었습니다. 그 말은 내 마음의 부적이었습니다. 데뷔는하지 않았지만, 완전 연소했습니다. 마지막까지 강한 느낌을 가질 수 있었던 것은 항상 뜨거운 성원을 해준 여러분이 있었기 때문입니다. 여러분을 만나서 정말 행복합니다. 앞으로도 목표를 향해 전진있을뿐입니다. 보지주세요. 함께 많은 벽을 극복해온 연습생 모두 큰 큰 사랑 해요! 미우나, 깨끗하고, 재미 있고 매력이 가득 가득! 사랑하고 굉장히 존경하고 있습니다! 정말 감사합니다! #produce48 #韓国語、翻訳なので、言葉が間違えていたら、ごめんなさい😢 #心からありがとうございます #감사합니다

It was an absolute plus!.  That word was a lucky charm from my heart.  Although I was unable to debut, I was completely burned out.  Until the end,  I was able to feel strong because everyone cheered me up.  I am truly happy to have met you.  From now on, there is only a moving a step forward towards my goal.  Please watch.  All of us who were trainees, we overcome a lot of challenges together, I love it!  It was very fun and full of charm! I love it.  I respect everyone so much.  I’m really thankful to you!”
