It is time to celebrate. It is our girl’s very special day. Meetan turns 27 years old today. And look…she has keikii!!!
<3 <3 <3
One of the days I need to head to Japan for Ohori’s big day. I’m sorry I can’t be there to wish her a happy birthday in person. But at least Meetan had plenty of friends willing to join in the celebration.
Idols and cocktails are always a winning combo!
And this was only for her birthday eve! I’m sure she’ll have plenty of fun planned for tonight as well. In the meantime let’s all raise a glass to another year of Meetan goodness!
Meetan finally has a profile on Horipro! I’m not sure if Ohori’s days are numbered with AKB/SDN, but this finally means that Meetan has hit the big time. Ohori has seen a few stage productions coming her way, as well as a few TV appearances. If you have been following Meetan, you will know that acting is really her best talent. Anyhow, here is a link to her profile…
Doesn’t she look hawt in her profile picture? Oh, and checking the calendar….guess what is coming up around the corner…
Somebody’s Birthday!!!!
Yes, I have already been taunted by someone that they are going to Meetan’s birthday show in Akiba, while I am still in California. Oh well, at least my birthday card will make it to Meetan on time! At least I hope it will.
We know this is going to end in a couple of weeks. I’m still not sure how they are tabulating the voting. Are the votes accumulating as we go? Or is each round a new competition? If that is the case, how are they figuring out the winners? Oh well, I guess all we can do is KEEP VOTING FOR MEETAN!!! Here are the updated results…

Still #1, Yatta! But it seems we have a strong finisher coming from the back of the pack. Look at KONAN go! She is all the way up to third after not even being in the Top 15 after Round One. Does she have enough finishing power?
On last week’s episode of Suppon no Onnatachi, the host had a surprise for the girls. BTW, I still don’t know what that guy’s name is. I guess we can call him “Crazy Old Man” . Meetan, will you please do the honors?
Uh oh…

Crying??? “Uso!!!” (No way!)

It was anti-climactic for the viewer since we already knew about it. But this was when the girls first found out SDN48 had been signed to the Universal Music record label.
Wow, look at the reactions! Especially from the former AKB48 girls. I’m sure it has been tough for them to watch AKB48 take off like a rocket while SDN48 is still in “building mode”. Congratulations girls!
And if you ever wanted to see what the “High Touch” event is like. There ya go!!!
SDN48’s new monthly show debuted this past weekend. I’m guessing this program will be similar to the former AKB48+10 program which featured various members of Team B on a monthly mission or adventure. However, this episode focused on allowing the viewer to get to know some of the members. And who better to host that portion of the show than SDN48’s comedy duo of Nachu and Meetan!!!
For those of you who have never seen an SDN48 show, Nachu and Meetan do a short comedy bit after Jaujama Lady while the girls get prepared to perform Ganbarina. Nachu is her usual crazy self while Ohori sort of plays the straight character. The dynamic was in many ways the same here, except Meetan had the opportunity to showcase her own comedy “chops” as well. The first victim being Takahashi Yui, who seemed to be getting under Ohori’s skin…
I was getting AKBingo! flashbacks during that scene. Oh, the good ole’ days eh? I’m so glad to see Ohori back on television! But that wasn’t all, it looks as if Meetan has a new “loli” toy to play with in 21-year old Fukuyama Sakura from SDN’s 2nd Team.
Nachu tries to horn in on the act as well. But Meetan wasn’t having any of that. Watch it Natsuko! Sakuran belongs to Meetan only!
It hadn’t dawned on me that having a new team of SDN members means Ohori has a brand new set of cute girls to paw all over. It should make interesting reading on her future blog posts. SDN48+10 will be shown at the beginning of each month and repeat at various times throughout the month. Check the schedule at the official channel site for upcoming showtimes.
More awesome news. Meetan has been cast in “The Akiko Wada Story”, which will be performed at the Mitsukoshi Theater in Nihonbashi Tokyo. Here is a link to the theater site.
Ohori will be portraying a character called “Shiho”, and it looks like a decent sized part considering her placement on the marquee. It looks like joining Horipro was a great move for Meetan’s career. I would love to get a chance to see her act in person. Maybe she will get cast in something else later this year.

What does it all mean????
We know have updated news on the vote. The Senbatsu election process will end September 4th, at which time we will know who our Senbatsu members are. SDN48 will be making their major debut on the Universal Music label. I’m not sure when exactly that will be, but I am seriously considering being there for it if my schedule permits.
I am also hoping this means a 1st Stage CD and DVD will be in the works. Wouldn’t that be awesome? CDs…and their new television program debuted this weekend. Things are really starting to come together for SDN48.
Congratulations Ohori. Your team is doing great!!!
Okay, this vote is starting to draaaggg out longer than the end of “Lord of the Rings, Return of the King”. From what I understand we are only halfway through this “voting process”, and frankly I am growing a little tired of the hundreds of GREE posts in my mailbox every day! That said, here is the third round ranker…

Meetan back in first where she belongs, Yatta!!! She is sharing the top spot with Yukari, which is totally okay with me. But like the good Ohori-slave that I am, I will keep reading post after post. If you haven’t already, please bookmark her GREE blog. Let’s make sure our girl takes #1 at the end!!!
Sorry if this is a little late, but here ya go. Results after Round Two. I believe there is one more round to go…
So Meetan has fallen from #1 (after the first round) to #2 behind Yukarin. Not surprisingly, the former AKB members are dominating the top of the list. Even Kohara Haruka is at senbatsu level. Meetan has started promoting the contest on her blog by soliciting for downloads on the mobile site. Sadly only those of you in Japan can vote using that method
Oh well…Sorry Meetan, I guess I will have to continue reading your GREE blog. Th good news is at this point Ohori is a shoe-in to make senbatsu. The only question is where she will rank. Let’s keep her at #2 or better!
