Sashihara Rino of AKB48 was recently hit with a scandal and the company decided to transfer her to Hakata, Japan. As a result their general producer, Akimoto Yasushi released a response on his Google+ account.
I heard in the weekly magazine article about the talk of the person herself (Sashihara) ,
she said, ”Everything is not true but, some people who believes about this article misunderstood it and I have no choice”.
This talk came out way back 3 or 4 years ago when Sashihara was still a trainee, that as AKB48 members are reflecting in their lack of self-awareness.
Sashihara had a 1 yellow card that is likely to be considered as a stern warning .
Rino Sashihara’s ”high spirit” of ”The feeling of I won’t give up whatever will happen” is a role model to AKB’s member .
I hope that this strength will convey to the juniors,
I decided to transfer her to the HKT48 which was formed just recently.
There are some people who said it is ”demotion” to her, but that is rude to the members of HKT48, staff and their fans.
We have a long meeting and we came out to a conclusion, and I think it is a good motivation to the young members of HKT48 and a new challenge for Rino Sashihara .
To those fans who made Sashihara to be 4th place,
How far you will say that you are ”incompetent” ?
With this kind of important time.
But, It’s Sashihara .
May be she will become a leader in HKT48 strongest group someday .
Or may be she will mingle in the strongest group of HKT48 .
Please give Rino Sashihara a warm care as the AKB’s least ”member who doesn’t response from an expectation“

But she's still in AKB's new single?
sad
but she can do it !!!!
Wow...that is all I can say is wow....
after being top of all TEAM A members...
...i wish to see her smile again even if she's at HKT...WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SASHIKO!!!
BYE BYE SASHIHARA RINO
i hope she will be able to move on in the new group.. it was harsh what just happened to her.
bye~bi sashihara rino
Its kinda harsh isnt it? Being separated from the team, starting all over again...
Anyway...it's a chance for Sasshi to shine even more!!! GO SASSHI...LOVE YOU!!! GANBATTE!!!!!!
I love AKB, but Aki P can suck a fat one. What happens to Not Yet now?
Sasshi remains at Not yet. But Not yet won't have any activity for a long time... the girls will be busy with other things.
Probably we can only expect a new single from Not yet from 2013...

ohh.. well ganbatte.. someday, hkt will be very famous and she's there.
Well, I don't think it's good for her, but it's good for HKT48. But I wouldn't call it a demotion either. Its gonna give HKT some AKB fans.
Still don't think it's fair for her. She worked so hard to get 4th place in AKB and now she has to start all over with HKT. I wish her the best.
he is rite, with the popular she had she`ll make hkt more popular, shes now the only girl in that group i kno lol
He said YELLOW CARD.
I think it's possible she didn't date the guy like I thought but he is a friend of her which broke the law of not befriending an AKB fan since other fans might feel it's unfair treatment..
Douchebag either way.
wow that is superrrr short o.o
Shorter the hemline, the longer the legs. Why do you think Kpop wear short shorts like constantly....
those clothes she's wearing is more like short short rather than skirt anyway.
But she's still in AKB's new single?
But in Not Yet?
I kinda do see how it's insulting to HKT48 but the producer does have some good points. Though im not a fan of any of the "48" groups do this isn't a big deal to me..
