Meru's Segment :
55th Place 13,246 votes (Preliminary 42nd)

Tashima Meru, 13 years old

HKT48 Research student

First time entering


"I want to accept each vote with a smile"

"Meru" was the center for HKT48's debut single "Suki! Suki! Skip!" In the instant she heard her name called, she was dazed, but that reaction quickly became tears of joy. "My mind went blank, and I wondered if I was dreaming." Even with 13,246 votes, she said with a thankful expression, "I want to accept each vote with a smile. Thank you for giving me confidence."

At the same time, just by being made the center of the debut single and being given such a chance, it was a situation full of pressure, as if to say "If there aren't any results from that..."

After her speech, and even after she returned to her place among the members, her tears didn't stop.

HKT48 Senpais and Kohais Round table

Learning the secrets of today's most vigorous group

HKT48, the youngest group, has been pulling a great effort lately. Tashima Meru and Tomonaga Mio--fresh 2nd generation members who were in the senbatsu for AKB48's 31st single--and Sashihara Rino and Ota Aika--the big sisters who came from AKB48--got all together for some girl talk! They'll report to us on the state of the usually busy backstage.

How is the tension in the backstage different between AKB48 and HKT48?

Sashihara: Before the sosenkyo, let's tell everyone about HKT's appeal. To that end, as round table president, I'll be presenting some nice topics!
