I forgot all about this. According to Ebi48, Team Ogi will hold their second concert on November 15 and November 16! Supposedly the setlists for each concert are different, too! Yay!

Sadly, Natsumi didn't make it. She lost in the first round against Tomoka. On the plus side, at least for me, two of of the girls I was rooting for, Sayaka and Ranran, made it, so at least there's something for me to be happy about. ^ And that's the outfit she wore to the tournament, by the way. I'm quite pleased with it. :drool: 
And in other news, the line-ups for the b-sides are different. They're not Under Girls A/B as previously thought. Supposedly they're called "Baragumi" and "Yurigumi", along with the regular Under Girls. Natsumi is in Baragumi and the line-up is:
Team A (4): Matsubara, Nakata, Nakaya, Oya
Team K (5): Nakatsuka, Nonaka, Tanabe, Uchida, Yonezawa
Team B (5): Chikano, Hirajima, Kobayashi, Suzuki M, Suzuki S
Team 4 (4): Nagao, Nakamata, Shimada, Takeuchi
Eh, I don't like the line-up. The only other girls that I like are Shimada, Shihori, and Chikarina. >_>
And lastly, tomorrow will be Butterfly's first anniversary! I started it on September 21, the day after last year's Janken! Hooray! Time sure flies, huh? Too bad I didn't update that often. xD

Yes, I'm making a new post for this to make it seem like I update a lot.
AKB48 will be releasing their 23rd single, Kaze wa Fuiteiru (風は吹いている), on October 26. You can see a preview of the PV here at Ebi48. ;D I don't like it, but it's nice to see that it's not a rip-off of 2010's concepts like their other singles.
Anyway, Natsumi will be in a b-side this time! There aren't actual names for them, but apparently there are two Under Girls groups. The one Natsumi is in is supposedly a cute song. With Sayaka. And Haachan. And Mocchi. A cute song. With Sayaka. And most of the cute girls are in the other group. What. I'm glad Natsumi's with Sayaka, but Sayaka... pulls of "cool" much better. 
In any case, here is the member line-up for Natsumi's group:
Team A (6): Katayama, Kuramochi, Matsubara, Nakata, Nakaya, Oya
Team K (9): Akimoto, Matsui S, Nakatsuka, Nito, Nonaka, Tanabe, Uchida, Umeda, Yonezawa
Team B (6): Chikano, Hirajima, Kobayashi, Sato A, Sato N, Suzuki M
I very rarely like AKB's cute songs, so I can't imagine any good coming from this. Still, I'm looking forward to it, cute song or not. Natsumi, Sayaka, Sakiko, and Moeno in one group? Yes please.

Wow, I haven't updated in a while. Natsumi hasn't been that active lately, so there hasn't been that much to post. Even though I'm pretty sure no one reads this anymore, I'll try and update more often. I can't promise much, though, because there's not a lot to update when Ogi doesn't GIVE NATSUMI SOMETHING TO DO. >_>
So, here's what's been going on with Natsumi since I last updated:
- As you can tell by the picture above, Natsumi got a haircut! I expected it to happen for a while now because basically half of the AKB members have cut their hair short. Natsumi's actually looks really good, though; I'm glad it's not a bob because I hate those. xD
- Natsumi wasn't in any songs in the "Flying Get" single, which was one of the main reasons I didn't update.
- She hasn't been in a non-AKB TV appearance in... months (can't remember when exactly), but she'll be in Haneru no Tobira with Miichan on the 21st!
- According to this blog entry, she'll be in a stage performance entitled Koufuku Record (幸福レコード) with Harugon on October 17 - October 25. Yay!
- She performed in Singapore on August 27. I believe this is her first time going overseas since October of last year when AKB performed at the 2010 Asia Song Festival in South Korea. You can see the setlist here!
- And lastly, the Jankenpon Tournament will be on September 20! In her block, Natsumi will be going against Wakabayashi Tomoka. If she wins, then she'll go against Masuda Yuka. If she wins that, then she'll go against the winner between Takeuchi Miyu and Yamaguchi Yuuki. And if she wins that, she'll go against the winner out of Chikano Rina, Shinoda Mariko, Suzuki Mariya, and Matsui Sakiko. And then she'd be in senbatsu. So she'd have four people to beat. You can dooo it, Natsumi~! :heart:
That's all I can think of at the moment. =P

Today is Natsumi's 21st birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATSUMI! I hope she has a great day~ :love:
Also, Natsumi's birthday show will be on June 22. The line-up for the show are:
Iwasa, Oota, Katayama, Sashihara, Takahashi, Nakagawa, Nakata, Nakaya, Maeda Ami, Matsubara, Shimada, Yamauchi, Abe, Izuta, Kojima Natsuki, Fujita
So Haruna, Shizuka, Asuka, Atsuko, Takajo, and Mariko aren't there. All of my least favorites aren't there, plus my favorite Team 4 members (Ranran and Shimada) and Kenkyuusei (Nattsun) are there, so I'm quite excited indeed. :awesome:
I'm still behind on Natsumi's various TV appearances, and I'll get around to updating that eventually. 
She's been in the past few AKBINGO! episodes, and was on Coming Soon! with AKB48 and performed Ponytail to Shushu and that one song from Koko ni Ita Koto that I can't remember. On June 10, she mentioned in her blog that she'll be in a charity concert for the earthquake, along with Nacchan and several other non-48 members, on August 6 - August 14. The concert is called "Pocchi to Na -Switching On Summer-".

Wow, I'm so behind. Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been kind of preoccupied lately, and I haven't felt like updating at all.
So, as for what's happened in the Natsumi world lately: not much. Here's a small summary, though:
- The Minogashita revivals for K5, K4, H2, A6, and K3 have been performed so far. Next up is the final revival, A1, on the 12th. I don't think too much happened Natsumi-wise at the revivals.
- Of course, the election is now over. Natsumi didn't make it, but my two other favorites did (Sayaka and Sakiko), plus both Sasshi and Sae made media senbatsu, so I'm (mostly) satisfied with the results.
- Natsumi hasn't had any new TV appearances since the last update, although she may have appeared on AKBINGO!, but I'm not sure since I haven't been watching it. :fear: I need to go and cap that episode I missed, too.
- Aaand Natsumi's birthday is in 9 days!

A new AKB48 forum has opened up! It's being run by several people, including me, so be sure to check it out (and join, of course! ;D).

Natsumi was on this week's episode of AKBINGO!! She didn't get to do anything again, but she did get a few close-up shots, and not to mention, she looks gorgeous. :heart: Speaking of AKBINGO!, I think she was on last week's episode, but I haven't gotten around to watching it. I need to do that. :fear:
Also, according to a blog entry translated by biheart at STAGE48, Natsumi will be on an episode of Naruhodo High School... eventually!

Natsumi was on Naruhodo High School again, this time in two segments. The first one involved stuffing AKB members into very tiny rooms, and the other was watching Shizuka's egg hatch (with Sayaka no less. :awesome: ). Well, not her egg, but the egg she was watching over. Anyway, it's a very cute segment!
Also, on a blog-related note, I'm adding tags for television shows Natsumi's appeared in.

Natsumi finally has a blog, which you can see here! 
mg: I'm guessing it's a continuation of her mobile blog because it's got the exact same title and it says "392" in the title. =P
Yaaay, I'm so excited! I've wanted a Natsumi blog for a really long time now, so I'm super happy that she finally got one!
