So here we have the first big breaking AKB48 rumour scandal of 2012 which has set the wotasphere alight today and it involves Yonechan and Nacchan. It appears that those troublemakers over at 2ch have found Yonechan’s personal twitter and mixi account and she mentions a boyfriend for 4 years that she just broke up with in an entry, looking for a new boyfriend and a possible sexfriend as well. Of course rumours are just rumours without any evidence but there’s some photos that have been uploaded and it is these photos (take a look at 3 of them below) that have dragged Nacchan into this whole sorry scenario. Add to that some entries in which Yonechan mentions a concert which coincided with Team K’s schedule and it looks like these rumours are starting to look true. What I don’t understand if this is all true is how Yonechan possibly thought she could get away with this. Hate messages have begun to appear in both of the girls’ Google+ pages. It appears that Yonechan has been made aware of the trouble judging by what I’ve read about her trying to hide herself and being very quiet when she arrived in Singapore for work duties with AKB48.
It doesn’t look good for either girl right now but if there’s one of them likely to be fired it’s probably Yonechan. If any action is going to be taken by AKB48 management it’ll happen when Yonechan returns to Japan next week. The member that stands to lose the most is Nacchan as she’s more high profile. She could be axed from WH7 let alone from AKB48 entirely. Rules are rules and if you’re caught out doing something you’re not supposed to then you should be prepared to take the consequences.
UPDATE: Looks like some action might have been taken already with news that Nacchan won’t be attending a WH7 event scheduled for tomorrow. If this is just to prevent any embarassment to her or some kind of suspension I have no idea? Will Yonechan perform tomorrow at Singapore or will she pulled out as well?
UPDATE 2: It’s all over for both of them. Effective immediately as per a message from Togasaki, Nacchan has resigned from WH7 and AKB48 with Yonechan resigning from AKB48 too. I’m disappointed in both of them especially Nacchan, a 1st generation member who was beginning to grow on me. Both have apologised for the trouble they have caused to the other AKB48 members, staff and fans. While some fans will mostly blame Yonechan for this scandal, Nacchan also has to take some of the flak. Her private twitter account has been discovered with some incriminating photos. I hope the 2ch twats are happy now that they’ve caused this.
IXA Ready - Fist On! 
wow…that was bad.
I don’t blame the girls for being in a relationship. After all its normal.
This sounds sad thou…
I wonder who is to replace Nacchan on WH7…
There won’t be a decision on the future of WH7 until next week probably. Management have to decide whether they continue as WH6, add a new member or retire the unit completely. It could go either way.
What’s more embarassing is there’s a handshake event today for WH7 and everybody is likely to ask the members their feelings on the scandal. It’s gonna be uncomfortable for the 6 remaining members having to answer questions about it.
[…] Yonechan/Nacchan In DEEP Shit!! – IXA Ready The title pretty much sums things up, doesn’t it? […]
i got a question, who was that in the first pic? i mean the girls, there are 4 of them o.O? btw, yeah, it is normal for woman to attract to man ~.~
The other girls are probably friends of Nacchan and Yonechan, they’re definitely not other AKB48 members!
poor girls. You can’t help but feel sorry for them because it’s what all girls do and that age and etc, but at the same time you don’t want to feel sorry for them because they signed up to be in this business and that means that they have to follow certain rules. If they kept doing this without being punished,it wouldn’t be fair to other idols who were kicked out of their respected groups for the same thing in the past.
I totally agree with you on this.
There’s nothing to stop Nacchan and Yonechan from coming back as kenkyuusei members in the future. It worked for Ayarin so why not them.
What a sad coincidence that this scandal broke out on the 3rd anniversary of WH debut. Not going to be a very happy celebration for any of the members today.
I’m sorry to hear that this is happened.
I think the main reason they leave AKB48 is pure that the fans in Japan is flaming/bashing them. And that may hurt the OOO48 family. But i was wondering we, western people if i may call that, have accepted that they have a relationship and feel sorry that them. We all know the OOO48 rules.
But if OOO48 family was based somewhere in western country. Would we, with our way of thinking, do the same as the Japanese people, mainly the Japanese fans?
Please correct me if I’m wrong
That’s a good point you raise there Aspen and the quick answer is no. I could not see Western fans ever doing anything like the Japanese fans.
XXX48 is made up of pop idols aimed at attracting lonely/young/otaku men.
If there is a pop group aimed at this demographic in the West, I am sure the reaction will be the same
I really thought Western fans would take a more sympathetic approach to this scandal and whilst the majority has done that, there are a few idiots out there who have said some terrible things about Nacchan and Yonechan which has been totally uncalled for. Yes, both girls have made a huge mistake and paid the price for it. They’ve apologised so cut some slack instead of this hate for them.
kill that man!! wkwkwkwkw kidding. hahahaha
I think a lot of fans would love to beat up that Keio University wrestling student!!
