Good evening ~

Today was the individual handshake event at Pacifico Yokohama.

It was the first individual handshake event of the year (  ･ᴗ･  )
Thank you so much!


Our outfits.

I wonder what you call this kind of hat.
I really like the shoulders on the shirt. Just right.

Hmmm. The triangle in the pocket.


Thank you for reading my blog.

Neru's oshi in Nogizaka46 was/is Itou Marika. Back home before she became an idol herself, Neru was a big fan. She read her blog and went to events. In one case at least, she and a friend carried a banner in support of Marika.

Lots of Japanese commenters see a similarity to Marika in Neru's outfit and pose in these photos. Comments from Neru fans think of this as a good thing, and speak of Neru's sense of style. Some Nogizaka fans discount the similarity, not being willing to allow the comparison. Others see it as Neru following a poor model. Marika's fairly advanced taste is not to some Nogizaka fans' liking. Like Marika, Neru has an interest in contemporary art and fashion.

I keep being surprised that we have not heard anything at all about contact between Neru and Marika. I can imagine that Neru is hesitant to impose. And in any case, her position is so much different now from what it was when she was such a Marika-ota that it must be difficult to figure out how to approach her.

It's good to see Neru and Aoi together in this artsy little tableau. I can imagine the school-smart Aoi developing some advanced taste herself, as time goes by.

In her previous post, Neru spoke of the full-page feature on her in the Nagasaki Shimbun newspaper on New Year's Day. She apologized for being so late to mention it before, but said she wanted to keep it a surprise for her family.

Neru said she would work to do more things in support of her home town, of which she posted this picture:

Neru also said she was excited by the new drama season beginning on TV. She spoke particularly of a new show called "Supporting Actors" (baipureiyaazu バイプレイヤーズ), about six middle-aged character actors sharing a house. She says they're all actors she likes, and the first episode was good.


The "159" in the title means this is the 159th post Neru has made.
