Good evening.

Yesterday was the Best Hits Song Festival
In Osaka, Yone-chan's home town!

In the Shinkansen on the way home,
I woke to find Yone asleep on my lap  bliss....
 

Much-trumpeted tabloid piece about Shida Manaka appears to be another dud

Scandal sheet Bunshun has been promoting a piece about "one of the Keyakizaka members who fainted at Kouhaku." The piece came out Tuesday and claims that Mona was with a male friend in her hometown of Niigata, that they went back and forth between each other's houses and that she stayed at his house at least one night (his family's house, one supposes).

There is no proof of any of this. One fuzzy photo from behind of Mona with a guy to the right of her and a girl to the left. This is supposedly when they were out at a big park in Niigata looking at cherry-blossoms in the evening, and the girl with them is supposedly Neru (and could be). Let's see: bringing in a third wheel is not exactly what you do when you want to be with a boyfriend.

Good evening!

Today
We had the chance
To perform on Best Artists 2017

And what on earth?!!
We were able to collaborate with Itou Asako-san
And performed Kaze ni Fukaretemo together!!

Truly an honour.
I was terribly, terribly happy.

Good evening.
It's Kakizaki Memi.

A few days ago, the 5th single, Kaze ni Fukaretemo came out \(❁´∀`❁)ﾉ

In the extra videos this time are trips to pray for the group's development!
In four different teams, we went to pray for the group, and there are different videos in each of Types A, B, C, and D (’-’*)
I was in the Saitama video, and went to the zoo, where I was able to touch an animal that brings good luck!

Ta-dah!

Thank you very much for the live on the 22nd and 23rd!

It was so much fun.

For me, it was the best ever.

I happily did my best with the members and the staff as a team.

As long as there is a place called "Keyakizaka," I will be blessed.

And now I'll do my best on the tour.

This short but heartfelt post was so important Mona thought it didn't need a photo. Here are two showing some of the fun she actually had:

Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi

Today we went to the Tsutaya store in Shibuya (*˙˘˙*)!

The ground floor was all Keyakizaka46 ♥(*ﾟOﾟ*))))
Thank you so much ----!!!

We each signed our personal booths!

(If you take home one of the free newspapers, there might be something good in it ~)

Please be sure to come (*'-'*)ﾉ

Afterwards, I secretly wrote this:

"I support Kiku-chan, Shida-san, and Yurina! I'm Memi."

(Sorry for the messy writing.)

If you like, come and find it ♪

Bye-bye.

The Keyakis came to Shibuya Tsutaya before it opened Friday and wrote all over their own displays. What Memi wrote is in the post I posted a few minutes ago.  The green triangles are leaves of a big Keyaki tree that covers a wall and that people are encouraged to add their own leaves to. Who will find Memi's? I'd be there to find it myself if I weren't several thousand miles away.

I'm in BLT magazine!

I enjoyed the amusement park.

And the title is amazing. Maybe my favorite ever!

I still look at pictures and videos of the members and laugh away by myself at them.
I got a video from Danii that I can't help roaring with laughter at.
The members truly understand me. As long as I have that I'm okay.

Everyone in Keyaki: keep making me laugh.

Hirate speaks! A word from Memi brings back Techi's voice

After over a month of throat trouble and not being able to speak above a whisper, Hirate Yurina can talk again.

It happened on her Girls Locks (School of Lock) radio show. A call to Kakizaki Memi of Hiragana Keyaki, getting her to say she loved Techi, magically released Techi's voice...or so the story goes.

Thursday night, on Hirate's Mon-Thu show, Hirate and her helper Shida Manaka received a letter from someone claiming to have been the one who locked Hirate's voice, apologizing for doing it and saying he had a method for releasing the lock. It would involve calling a Keyakizaka member and getting them to say the keywords: "Techi, I love you."

Here's a recording of the show. Below, I translate from 4m07s to 9m40s.

Good evening!


Manaka and I are on the cover of the
Souen magazine that came out yesterday, the 27th.

I've always loved to read it.
For me, it's like a picture book packed with emotion.
To be published in a magazine I love so much
Is truly, truly an honour.

During the shoot, as I saw this world I admire spreading out before my eyes
I was in a state of constant excitement.

It made me want to study the world of clothing more!

In the Souen magazine that comes out today, Neru and I were given the front cover.

I'm really happy.

They pinned real flowers to our heads for the shoot.
There were a lot of firsts.
We wore vintage, which I love. It was a totally enjoyable shoot!

I'll go and buy some myself.

I'll upload off-shots bit by bit.

Good evening.

These are days when Suzumoto's love for Oda Nana never ends....

Yesterday, for heaven's sake,
Suzumoto asked Oda Nana to give her one of her wet wipes.

And got one.

Pretending to have forgotten
Her wet wipes
Was a lover's lie.

I recited a sort of haiku like this.

And immediately noted it down on my phone.

Meimei, Kumi, Shiho, Captain, Mona -- pics from the Kyoto handshake event

Higashimura Mei, Sasaki Kumi and Katou Shiho all published this photo in their blogs. Who am I not to go along?

Kumi says she and Shiho held a "Meimei-spoiling party" during a break at the Sunday individual handshake event in Kyoto. Meimei says the three of them just laughed continuously.

Good evening ~

Getting up early is so refreshing!!
I love sleeping,
But I want to make good use of the morning hours!

I'll become a morning person, eh.

It was fun to be a yankee.

Bubka magazine: The Jests of King Mona

The Jests of King Mona

Kings, Aristocrats, Daimyous, Generalissimos, Emperors, Great Men...Keyakizaka46 cannot be commanded by even such powerful beings.

But before Shida Manaka, these girls become "playthings" and "prey." During the group's debut, the smiles were sealed away. But her miraculous full visage is now finally revealed: her unreasonable requests producing an infinity of smiles.

If it's fun

-- Last time, the plan was for Shida-san and Oda Nana to talk about "Watanabe Rika-san, the living being wrapped in mystery." That was the theme.

Shida: That's what I had understood. But when I saw the feature's title, I thought: "...what?"

-- You mean that the title became "Manaka's toy"?

Shida: "What's all this?" I thought. (Laughs.)

-- During the interview, we noticed that Shida-san toying with them was funny, and it made Watanabe-san and Oda-san funny. So we quickly changed the title.

Shida: Ahaha. So that's what it was.

I can't write an essay properly. It's no good.

What can I write....

Ah. At the handshake event, Risa and Akanen and I chased each other around.
I was just determined to run away.
Those two are really scary.
I seriously ran away. Lol.
They're scary, really.

Then what was it....

We ran around screaming and so on. Was that what we did? Lol.

It was so much fun to be with everybody 〜( ´ ▽ ` )

I may come to look like an adult, but in my heart I want to stay 17 forever.

I want everyone in Keyaki and I to keep on playing around and laughing this much ~!

Let's not become adults at all!!

I love everyone just as they are now!

Nagahama Neru blog post: fish bones and photos

Hello.

Recently, I'm often feeling that my sense of taste has changed.

I can't drink carbonated drinks any more.
I now want to eat fish-skin.
And I don't like yogurt much any more.

I've always liked fish bones
Now I think the skin is great.
When I have a grilled fish set or something, I'm only happy when there's nothing left.

It's like "perori" -- a licking sound would fit here.
