Kakizaki Memi notes: praise from Habu, Kubo; more prominence in new Joyful Love video

Memi continues to be slow to update her blog. Having just finished concentrating on the Zambi drama, she is now likely concentrating on preparing for the Christmas Lives.

But others keep talking about Memi. Habu-chan wrote in her blog about the Nogi and Keyaki members who worked with her in the Zambi stage play. Her praise for Memi was about the highest she gave to any Keyaki-chan:

Good evening.

I finally saw Bohemian Rhapsody!!
Even in scenes that weren't sad, my tears flowed.
That's how cool it was...


When I was four or five,
QUEEN was playing at our house a lot.
It's a faint memory, but I'm sure it's true.
Thinking of it now it seems mysterious.

What was going on...? Mother....



Look!!!
I'm in the Kanzarashi poster with everyone!! ( ˙༥˙ )

Good evening!


I've been dreaming a lot lately.

Frightening or happy,
All I remember is the aftertaste.


Why do I never remember what was in them? (´-`).｡oO



The filming of Kanzarashi ni Koi Shite is finished.

Beginning with Kanjiya Shihori-san
Endou Ken'ichi-san
Izumi Chinu-san and
Miyazaki Karen-san

My fellow-actors, the location team --
Everyone was warm and kind and funny
And I passed happy days with them.



Also,
Today I met a cute kid!!

Kakizaki Memi blog: At Pokemon's house with Sunshine Ikezaki

[This post is over a month old. I haven't been able to do any translating for the past month. In fact, it's Memi's last post: through the Magia Record stage run and the other events of September, she didn't post much to Keyaki Message, and didn't post at all to her blog. This post is about her solo appearance on the kids' show Shall we get together at Pokemon's house. With the popularity of Pokemon, it is a popular weekend show. One of the hosts is the seiyuu/personality Nakagawa Shouko, and the other guest on this episode was popular comedian Sunshine Ikezaki.]

Hello.
It's Kakizaki Memi.

Yesterday was the final handshake event for the first album, Hashiridasu Shunkan!

We're already reaching the end of summer,
So thinking that it might be the last chance, I wore a yukata in the 4th and 5th sessions.

Kakizaki Memi SHOWROOM video -- Magia Record starts Friday

Another wonderful Showroom from Memi, who seems to be more mature and capable every time I see her -- but still so natural and real.

She shepherded Techi through that "Selfie TV" feature from the new release, contributing a lot to Keyakizaka, I believe. They are friends, and perhaps that was the only way Techi would happily make such a feature. I don't want to overestimate the possibility of romance, but it sure was great to see Memi practicing her heavy-hitting embraces on Techi.

Now here's Memi, probably forced to do a SHOWROOM to advertise the upcoming Magia Record stage play. Memi seems to like to concentrate on her singing and dancing and acting. She blogs and messages more than Techi or Suzumoto, but not as much as most members.

Her last SHOWROOM was almost two months ago. For a fan such as me, every one is gold. I much prefer her quietness and calm to the more talkative and  "entertaining" SHOWROOMS others do.

Hiragana Keyaki stage play Magia Record cast photo -- Kakizaki Memi in the centre

The Magia Record Twitter account just started up with this photo:

front l-r: Ushio, Tomita, Kakizaki, Sasaki Mirei, Watanabe Miho
rear: Nibu, Kawata, Kanemura, Takase, Saitou Kyouko

To me, Memi looks pretty happy to be where she is, in the centre. But she's smiling her gentle but rather real smile quite a bit recently.

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

This announcement is coming late,
But in the stage play Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica side story,
I've been given the role of Tamaki Iroha.


I've loved Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica since elementary school,
So acting in the play is a great blessing and really makes me happy.

Hello


Today, Kobayashi, Sugai and Nagahama were on
An all-day contemplation of Akimoto Yasushi songs 2018

(On radio)


We were able to have an unhurried conversation with Akimoto-sensei,
Who said many wonderful, wonderful things.


About Keyakizaka songs, etc.,
His thoughts were almost all things we had never heard before.
The people listening
Must have really enjoyed them, too

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

Every day, we're working hard rehearsing Ayumi 

Having ten people play one person is hard

I think it must be pretty difficult to imagine
What kind of story Ayumi is,
But when I first read Ayumi, I was deeply moved

I think that when you watch Ayumi, you will likely get various feelings about life

Please be sure to come and see it

Close, eh. lol

Kakizaki Memi mini-interview: loving Techi, loving acting, hoping for a photo book...when she's 20

In a little interview just posted, Memi says that when Hirate cut her hair, Memi told her she looked "handsome." Techi's reaction? To push her up against a wall in a "kabe-don." Here's what that looks like in manga:
 

And here's the interview. I'm not sure yet what publication it comes from:

Hiragana to do stage play "Ayumi" in Shibuya

The 20 members of Hiragana Keyaki will present 24 performances of the play "Ayumi" at an 800-seat theatre in Shibuya in April-May.

For the play, Hiragana is divided into two teams of ten, by age, across generations: "Team Harmonica" is older, "Team Castanet" is younger. Each team will do 12 performances.

Pics of the two teams ("Team Harmonica" above):

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

It's now 2018!!

Happy New Year


In 2017 we were granted all kinds of challenges: the tour, the drama...
It was a year in which Hiragana Keyaki grew so much we became almost unrecognizable, it seems to me

In the course of the many activities we were given,
We lost heart many times,
But thanks to support from all of you, we were able to keep climbing the slope all year.

Truly, thank you very much
