Neru, Imaizumi and other Keyakizaka members as little kids

After a few months of "my history" features narrated by members on their birthdays, the Keyakitte Kakenai TV show has built up a collection of baby/toddler pictures. Here they are so far:

This week, it was Neru and Zuumin's turn:

Neru lived on an island from age 3 until first grade. She says she was a short-haired tomboy.

Doesn't seem as if Zuumin was a tomboy.

The "my own history" that most commenters say was the best (and I agree) was the very first one, Nanako's. We got more real detail, feeling and continuous story from her than from anyone else:

Hirate didn't even have a toddler pic, and Zuumin never mentioned her time as a young-teen gravure idol. Understandable, of course. Even 2channel didn't fault her for keeping that out of he story.

Aoi: "I'll help." Looks like she's washing the rice.

Most commenters give Nijika the prize for best photo...in some sense.

Seems like Pe was always Pe (Watanabe Rika)

The beautiful and mature-looking little Oda Nana.

Habu

Risa!

Bonus: little Neru with her friend Ashley, who was an English assistant teacher in the school her father taught at.

Neru came second to Nanako in revelations. I knew she had been to London (she said so in an interview), but it didn't seem as if her friend Hirate did. I knew she had done home-stays in the US and Korea (from info dug up by fans), but it didn't seem that the members did. Neru says that she used to hang out at the airport and wanted to work as ground crew. That I had never heard. She did mention in that interview that she had relatives living in London and had spent a couple of weeks there in the summer of 2015, wandering around alone. Sounds like her.

Hiragana Keyaki is a pretty "global" group: Takase Mana lived in London for four years and speaks English; Ushio Sarina lived in Jakarta for about that long (and speaks Bahasa Indonesia); and Sasaki Mirei did he same in Taiwan (and she speaks some Chinese). Now here's Neru having travelled on three continents. She said in he interview that her bad English was good enough to get around London with.

Now, just because, here are more stills from last Sunday's show, two each of Neru and of Zuumin:

Around kindergarten age, Zuumin says she grew to hate the camera and showed it in photos. A real performer.
