CK in Japan, Fall 2009...Hatakeyama Chisaki Picspam!!!

This can be filed in the "Don't tell Meetan" section, ssshhhhhhh!

It is always great when you can find something fresh and new to get excited about in the J-pop/Idol world.  For me that is SDN48.  I knew I would love this group the moment they announced it.  And I haven't read one person say they are any less than great.  And since my favorite Idol Ohori Megumi was absent from the first performance I got to see in person, it gave me a chance to focus on the rest of the team.  And the idol I found to be most captivating was Hatakeyama Chisaki.  Since I have made that declaration my buddy Hiro quickly supplied me with plenty of Chaki pics from earlier in her idol career.  So without further delay, here is the premiere installment of Chaki Picspam!!!

She is so cute!  I love that diminutive, yet built figure.  She is one of the best dancers in SDN48.  Her singing is top notch, and she has incredible stage presence. 

Chaki commands your attention every time she hits the stage.  It is no surprise that she is quite often front and center during most of the songs.  I adore this girl so much, and I am proud to put her alongside Meetan as one of my favorite idols!  Actually, I don't think Meetan would be too jealous as she is in love with Chisaki too.  Didn't she recently say that she wanted to "eat her"?  Me too Megumi...me too!

Tomorrow is her 21st Birthday.  There will be a Birthday show for Chakii on Thursday night, and I have won a ticket to the show...awesome!  I will be cheering for Meetan and Chaki with all my might!!!
