Keyakizaka46 members seeing members of AKB, TGS, SuperGirls

In the members' blogs just now there is a run of two-shots of Keyakizaka46 members with members of other idol groups: Oda Nana with Kawamoto Saya of AKB48. Nagasawa Nanako with Shouji Mei of Tokyo Girls' Style. Ishimori Nijika with Watanabe Koume of SUPER☆GiRLS -- and with Ikoma Rina of Nogizaka46.

Oda says she went out to eat recently with Sayaya, and that they are the same age (18), so it's easy to talk:

Nagasawa Nanako went out to a hedgehog cafe (yes, that's right) with Shouji Mei of Tokyo Girls Style and a mutual friend:

The mutual friend wore a cherry-patterned sweater, in honour of the two idols' home province of Yamagata

Naako says the way Mei is holding her hands is from the choreography for TGS's song Milfeuille. Naako says the MV is "really cute" and she watches it over and mover again.

Both Naako and Mei are from Yamagata, and Naako says she found it very easy to talk with her, about things from home and about the idol world. Mei has been an entertainer since she was 11, and has been in Tokyo Girls' Style (also called 東京女子流 Toukyou Joshi Ryuu in Japanese) since 2012. She is known as a good dancer.

Harry is a "hedgehog cafe and pet store" a minute's walk from Roppongi station. You go there to pet and/or buy cute little hedgehogs (called harinezumi, "needle mice" in Japanese). It doesn't look as if they serve food, but the website helpfully says it's okay to bring your own.

Naako says Mei-chan's hedgehog was very cute, very soothing.

Ishimori Nijika went out to eat with Watanabe Koume of SUPER☆GiRLS, who is also from Miyagi, in the same school-year, and whom she was friendly with when they were both in school back home. Nijika says Koume is so together, always dependable. She had a great time.

Nijika also met, for the first time in a while, with Ikoma Rina of Nogizaka46, with whom she acts in the movie Corpse Party. It was for the release event for the BD/DVD disks of the movie:
