Hello.


We've burst into the Reiwa Era.
What was everyone doing yesterday
At the moment the date changed?


I can say "Reiwa,"
But I'm still not used to it.
I somehow feel a bit embarrassed...

Just a month ago,
There was no such word in this world.
But as soon as those unexpected kanji became the notation
We're seeing it all the time in magazine headlines
Society's powers of adaptation are amazing.

I'll leave that now.

But it's so exciting!
It feels like New Year's!



Here I'll post the photos I mentioned recently:

Watanabe Miho


Hello everyone ( ･ᴗ･ )
It's Watanabe Miho of Hinatazaka46

April 6 was the day Keyakizaka46 debuted.
Congratulations on their third anniversary.

It's nostalgic to remember buying all the types of Silent Majority...
The seniors whom I have always loved and admired,
And the promising 2nd generation members....

For me who three years ago was in a different world, as a fan,
It makes me so happy to have been able to see the constantly changing Keyakizaka46 up close.
I think that from now on, they will continue to show us many new scenes...
And at the same time, they will stimulate us to do better.
Once again, congratulations on your third year!
Let's continue to get along well from now on.

Kakizaki Memi notes: Mechakari ads, Road Relay Exhaustion

There's a great series of surreal "mannequin" Mechakari web ads out now, with multiple appearances by all Hinatazaka members -- particularly Memi. The basic idea is mannequins in a store window with time on their hands because everyone is renting clothes from Mechakari rather than buying them at a store.

First, here is one of the main ads, this one featuring Memi, Takase Mana, Sasaki Mirei and 2gen Kamimura Hinano.



Memi: We've got a lot of time on our hands. Mana: What are those art objects about? Memi: You can have a free one-month trial with Mechakari. Mana: That's the zero, eh. Mirei: What? Y5800 turns into zero? Hinano: So you get three garments [at a time] for zero? Memi: "That's right" (in English). Mirei: So that's why this store has zero customers? All: "That's right."

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.
It's Tomita Suzuka of Hinatazaka46 (｡•ㅅ•｡)

Today was a national handshake event for the 8th single!

I got up the courage to talk to Tamura Hono-chan...
We did a squishy pose together

I want to call her "Honyo-chan." I wonder if that would be okay (￣▽￣)

Watanabe Miho blog: Feelings about the name-change to Hinatazaka

Acceptance and determination

Watanabe Miho
2019.02.14


Hello, everyone!
It's Watanabe Miho, of Hiragana Keyaki, now changed to Hinatazaka46.
It's a strange feeling.
I'm gradually, gradually getting used to it.
Actually, I'd already thought of changing the opening and ending of my posts.
On the 24th of this month I'll turn 19,
And I was thinking I might change them that day
But it's come a little sooner than I expected ( ᷇࿀ ᷆ )‬
And I still haven't quite decided what to make them.
I'll decide soon!
On the SHOWROOM the day before yesterday a lot of announcements were made.

At first, my head was full of a lot of things,
But after  while I calmed down and was able to think about the situation.

[Things announced on SHOWROOM]
Independent single debut!
The CD will be released on March 27 (pre-orders now!)
Orders for individual handshake events will start February 14
On https://fortunemusic.jp/ ☁︎☁︎

Mechakari tie-up
Will continue, please feel welcome
To borrow as many outfits as you like  ☜

Good evening.


Did you see Whisper of the Heart today?

I thought of how many times I went to the library back home
To watch it.
The feeling of nostalgia gave me a tug in the chest.



And also,
Miho-chan's photobook Hidamari
Comes out next eek.


I got a preview,
And it's a warm and adorable photo collection,

ChanMiho signed it for me! Happy

Kakizaki Memi notes 2018.11.20 -- monthly greeting video, CM "making-of" video

Memi's greeting video for November:




She talks about Joyful Love, and how pretty the "gradation" of colours is. She asks that we watch the Mechakari TV commercial. There's speculation in Japanese comments that she's wearing the Joyful Love outfit under that coat, lol. Could this be the week the single is announced? Independently or as part of a Kanji single? Or a double-A side single? On Hirate's radio show Thursday? (Hopeful.)

And here's the CoCo Ichi curry house ad "making of" video:

Best Hits Song Festival

Watanabe Miho
2018.11.18


Hello, everyone!

I'm Watanabe Miho
Of Hiragana Keyakizaka46, 2nd generation,
18 years old, from Saitama!

Did you see yesterday's Best Hits Song Festival?

Sasaki Kumi-san, Takamoto Ayaka-san, Higashimura Mei-san, and Watanabe Miho -- the four of us -- were given the chance to perform.

We performed the Kanji-sans' Ambivalent with them!

Hiragana Keyaki at Keyaki Republic: Memi, Kumi, Toshi, Miho and NO WAR

Hiragana Keyaki only had 3-4 songs at each of the three Keyaki Republic lives. But they merited a story in Nikkan Sports entertainment news:

At their live, Hiragana Keyaki's Kakizaki Memi shouted out: "Let's make memories!"

The final performance of Keyaki Republic 2018 took place July 22nd, at the FujiQ Highlands Conifer Forest. In the middle of the program, Keyakizaka's junior group, Hiragana Keyaki, performed.

Hiragana went on stage for the tenth song, a joint version of Taiyou wa Miageru Hito wo Erabanai.

This was the first time Hiragana's 2nd generation had performed at Keyaki Republic, and it was the first time the groups had performed the song together. Just before the main hook, the two groups lined up together, members alternating, with the Keyakizaka46 captain, Sugai Yuuka (22), at the left end of the line, and the Hiragana captain, Sasaki Kumi (22), at the right end.

After that, the Hiragana members were alone on stage. Sasaki Kumi said: "Aren't outdoor lives great!" with a smile. Katou Shiho (20) and Watanabe Miho (18) told summer ghost stories, bringing laughter from the crowd.

After that, the group did Kitaishiteinai Jibun. Then the ten 1st-generation members did Dare Yori mo Takaku Tobe! Kakizaki Memi (16) shouted: "Come with Hiragana Keyaki and let's all make summer memories together!" Finally, they all performed NO WAR in the Future, and were bathed in huge cheers.

I finally took pictures with all the 2nd-generation members \( ´ ꒳ ` )/♥


Even though I am an adult and their senior, and a proactive person, I'm the type who can't make approaches to younger people and juniors, so it ended up that I never got photos with all of them.

But now I was able to take photos with all of them!

Here are the photos \( ¨̮ )/
