Hello,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

Finally, our debut album, Hasiridasu Shunkan, has gone on sale!!!!

Hiragana Keyakizaka46 has made its album debut!!!!

Somehow, I'm so happy that I have a lot I want to say (*^^*)




Hiragana Keyaki came together as an under-group,
Our situation continued to be vague, but we just kept honestly plugging away.

At first, I think we weren't totally accepted by everyone.
And even we didn't really know what we should do.
But we just kept doing our absolute best to wrestle with things, bashing forward with all our might.

From just one person in Neru we became 12 people,
Then 11, and then 20.
Through many changes,
We little by little climbed the hill,
And gradually more and more people took notice of us.
It moves me deeply that the group has been able to grow as it has.


That Hiragana Keyaki can make an album debut, truly seems like a miracle.

This doesn't really get it across,
But to all of you who have supported us, truly, thank you so much!!

Without you, we couldn't have had an album debut!

We'll do our best, with all our strength,
To make this album Hiragana Keyaki's
Real "moment we start running," [note: this is what the title of the album means] 
And convey happiness to you all.
Please continue to treat us well!!!

Hashiridasu Shunkan really is a good album, so everyone please go to your local CD shop and check it out

And the extras are really splendid.

Please treat us well

Bye-bye

Kakizaki Memi

One Japanese comment said this post brought tears to the poster's eyes. Yes.

Here's another shot of the visit to CD shops on Tuesday. In Message that day, Memi said it was really fun going around the shops, and that the staff were so nice to them that it made her want to work harder and harder.

Memi, Manafi, Nibu, and Manamo, at Tower Records. That's Hina-chan's selfie-frame. Every Tower Records store has one of one member or another.

And here's a Tsutaya poster featuring Memi and Hina from their UTB gravure:

Finally, here are some pics from magazines. First, Memi and Mirei from Young Magazine:

The return of the Magic Girls, their PV from the Fukyouwaon extras.

 

The captions say Memi has overwhelming good looks and performing ability, and is the youngest member of the first generation, and that Mirei's smiling face is the face of the group.

Next, from the major feature on the group in Weekly Playboy:

To me, Memi and Nao-chan (image in second-last pic) are the two members who often have calm smiles, and never seem to have fear in their eyes.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to include Memi's emoji in the post, but I'm entering a busy period and don't really have time. I apologize in advance if I miss some posts over the next two weeks.
