Koike Minami's fear of flying

In her Sunday blog post, Imaizumi Yui tells the story of sitting beside Koike Minami on the flight back to Tokyo from Nagasaki on Saturday evening.

Even before the plane started moving, Mii-chan told her she was scared of planes. When it did start to move, tears sprang to her eyes. And when it actually started racing down the runway, Mii-chan grabbed Zuumin's arm, buried her head against her and was weeping and crying out loud.

 
And then Zuumin realized that Mii-chan had fallen asleep. "I always go to sleep after I cry 〜(´._.`)" said Mii-chan sheepishly.

Zuumin's verdict? "So cute!"

Mii-chan wasn't the only member with a fear of flying. Uemura Rina said in her blog that she has always been afraid in an airplane, so this time she decided to keep her eyes shut and her earphones in, playing music to drown out the sounds.

That worked okay on the way down to Nagasaki, but on the way back to Tokyo, her ear started hurting and hurting and she went to a clinic when she got back and found that she had a middle-ear infection!
