Kakizaki Memi: Screencaps from the Kidaishiteinai Jibun MV

This has been a great week for Hiragana Keyaki. The three songs released to us so far are all of high quality, and the Kidaishiteinai Jibun MV is terrific.

But I find myself kind of depressed. For whatever reason, Memi is hardly visible in the MV. Some people couldn't even find her. Excellent as she is there, most of her scenes can be timed in milliseconds.

Well, I'm here to make up for that a bit with reams of screencaps. Have to make up for the blindness and stupidity of the makers of the MV, lol (that's a joke; I get it). For me, Memi is by far the loveliest and most interesting member of Hiragana Keyaki. But as often happens, I find myself in the minority. I think: beauty, grace, expressiveness, determination, calmness.

First, here she is from the final scenes.

It's Sasaki Mirei!!

The Kidaishiteinai Jibun MV came out yesterday. [note: the title means "unexpected self"]
Have you seen it??

This will be a bit long, but I'd be pleased if you read it.

As those who have seen the MV will know, my unexpected self is that I'm centre.

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

The Plum Rains are on their way 

The rainy season is so wet and humid.
My hair gets all tangled
And somehow I just can't get my mood up.
I don't like it much 

Come soon, summer ~

Tower Records gives huge push to Keyakizaka46 album

When the new album goes on sale July 25th, every Tower Records store in Japan will have an oshimen, and will feature her in store decorations and events.

A year ago, the then-manager of the Tachikawa Tachihi store decided to make Shida Manaka the store's oshi. Then he/she moved to the Ario Kawaguchi store and brought the custom there, while the previous store also continued. They collaborated a few months ago to establish the Kingdom of Mona. Customers got papers declaring them subjects of King Mona.

Now the president of the company has taken up the idea and spread it to all 74 stores. I'm so happy for the manager who first put the idea into practice. That's how an organization should work: good ideas rise to the top. Each store's oshimen was chosen by staff at the store.

Stores have a system set up for taking a picture of a customer "with" the oshi:
