Nagahama Neru blog: Aoi, Utada Hikaru, Shiina Ringo; getting ready for the graduation event

Hello!

We're into July.
How is everybody getting on?


Aoi-chan has made her return!!!

I happened to have a chance to talk with her
And she was so nice that being together was calming.
She was the same Aoi-chan I love.

But at the same time
I worried whether I had changed.


A year is so long...!
Truly, truly, you have worked so hard!!

Kakizaki Memi -- BOMB magazine interview and photos

The May issue of BOMB magazine has a photo feature on the front row of the Kyun senbatsu: Sasaki Mirei, Saitou Kyouko, Kosaka Nao, Katou Shiho, and Kakizaki Memi.

Many photos have been online for a few weeks now, but one of Memi, along with a Chinese translation of her interview, has just shown up on a Chinese site. Here's the fuzzy photo, along with my fuzzy English translation.

Memi says she liked performing as Hiragana Keyaki, but that in show business, you have to keep moving forward, and she realizes that the name-change was necessary. She also talks about Neru, about her parents, about acting and performing in lives, and about what she wants to learn more about.

Memi's hands are the most expressive part of this photo

Kakizaki Memi doing more gravure

There has been very little gravure of Memi up to now. That seems to be changing, however, now that Hinatazaka has entered the big leagues with their first single. And now that Memi is within 7 months of being 18.

Bis magazine:


As Xiphyas says on Stage48, she looks like a baroque painting...one by François Boucher, it seems to me....

Good evening --



I just happened to notice this,
But isn't a mirror-ball
Like a 360° planetarium?


If I had one at home,
I would go to sleep enveloped in stardust.
What a premium time...


Uwaah. I want a mirror-ball...



However,
It only reflects in all directions
If light is shone on it from various places.
That's what my manager told me.

I see...
I can't do it at home.
Lighting people are amazing.



Even walking around Tokyo, the stars are visible....

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˙ )

To get a show in my own name
Really makes me grateful and a bit ashamed.
I'm extremely thankful to be able to make a program, with all these warm people,
That I'm excited for myself.


Hee-hee. What am I doing?

Nagahama Neru news: Quiz queen, reselling Neru magazines, Neru had top grade in 2015 Keyaki auditions

Neru is on the cover of Nagasaki's monthly official info/tourist magazine. It's given away free at city offices, libraries, etc. This issue includes pictures, story and interview with Neru. It has been available since the beginning of April.




But it turns out that copies of the magazine have been turning up on auction sites. The city says that resale of the magazine is forbidden. But the mags keep being put up for auction. They apparently go for a few hundred yen (i.e., a few dollars).

A city representative says this is particularly odd since you can download a pdf of the magazine on the city's official site. Here.

More tanuki magic.

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

I'm always thinking I'd love to go to the ocean.
I dreamed that at the ocean I gathered sea-slugs.

In my dream, I could do anything I thought of.

It was fun (^-^)

Good evening!

The three days of
The Keyakizaka46 2nd Year Anniversary Live are over

To all of you who came,
And to all of you who always support us
Truly, thank you very much.


It was the most nerve-wracking live so far.
At every performance, my nervousness comes back.

I shiver,
And my heart quakes....

Live performances really make me feel alive 




"Keyakizaka46 is a dream.
I want to be someone who gets close to everyone's dreams.
I think that each member's dreams,
Including my own dreams, can be fulfilled through Keyakizaka."

These words of Yukka's
Really, really linger in my heart.


I want to be with everyone much longer.
And I want to be with all of you, too.


Please be good to us again in our third year.

Suzumoto Miyu magazine feature: Every member is precious


Miyu is interviewed in the big January BLT magazine that features Hiragana Keyaki on the cover. This is the first time I have read her speaking about the events of the summer. Here she goes:

"I really don't know, but I'm going to live life with all my strength."




People often say: "In Keyakizaka46, all of them are friends."
But I think we aren't just friends.
We have the kind of relationship where we can tell each other what we think.
The summer national tour was big in making that come about.
I myself had various complicated feelings during the tour.
We were carefully getting the choreo down for the songs on the album.
There wasn't much time, and we were working desperately to remember the moves.
And while were in that anxious state, the tour began.
I watched the videos of each stop with Fuu-chan,
And put together clips of the parts we had to pay attention to. Then before each performance
Fuu-chan passed them on to each member.
I too felt that as long as it was all of us together, we could do it.
But although I wanted to say things,
I'm just not very good with words....(laughs)

Hello \( ˙-˙ )/



LARME's out!

Have you seen it (ノ)'ω'(ヽ)?

I had a bit of a feeling that I was going to be in the magazine again, but to be given the cover! It really gives me such feelings of gratitude.

I go to a bookstore...and there I am. It's a very weird feeling.

But honestly, I am just so, so happy (﹡ˆ ᴗ ˆ﹡)
