Hirate Yurina (Techi) / Keyakizaka46 1st Generation

"She" is probably the key there, anything that makes a letter stand out e.g. female, similar age to the letter recipient, overseas return address etc is probably gonna make it a little stickier in their memory.

 

she was lively and fierce in music station performance. She didn't seem troubled by handshake event.

All clear.

 

wow is there a translated post of her blog?? I wanna read it

Those last photos from @CutePanda are from the 11 July recording of a Sekai no Owari show for NHK's Songs program, the one that did the great interview with Techi a couple of months ago. The show will be broadcast 27 July. The audience was limited to high-school students, and they were encouraged to use their phone-cameras and post their shots. The big news is that Techi was invited to be part of the audience and to give a long interview. In the interview she apparently spoke about her "real worries and dreams." I wouldn't doubt it.



Here are some comments from attendees:

• I shook hands with Hirate-san and got to talk with her. It was amazing. And to watch SekaOwa behind her was such happiness. I almost fell over.
  
• I never expected to see the real Hirate-chan so close-up.
• Just a report: I met Hirate-chan. Today was amazing.
• I went to see NHK's SONGS live recording. I was within 7 metres of SekaOwa. Unbelievable. And I was within 5 metres of Hirate-san of Keyakizaka46: what a beautiful girl. That's the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl in the flesh. It's true: SekaOwa and Hirate-san really do exist.
• And Hirate Yurina of Keyakizaka was there. She's the same age as me, but was impossibly cute.

Lovely controlled situation where she can safely be among ordinary students. More photos:

@Rika, now that you mention it, they do sound alike. They both have that raspy tomboyish effect in their voice reminiscent of Nano.

 

Techi will do SOL @22:15 on July 17th 2017

The only reason why I sticked with 48/46G is Mayuyu san, after she declared her graduation I thought about quitting 48/46G for good. But Techi's aura is pulling me hard enough to start listening Keyakizaka46 songs. Maybe it's time to accept Keyakizaka's talents, future of 48/46 groups is definitely going to be shaped by them.

 

@Rika,
In regards to Techi singing in a tomboyish tone, the most prominent performance that comes to mind would be her singing Parco in their One Man live:
http://m.bilibili.com/video/av7699916.html
(jump to 17:17), this is the 12/25/2016 live stream version as the 3/26/17 tv version's audio had been slightly filtered.

However the closest to the Raon Lee like vibe was her one-liner for Getsuyobi performed the other day.

Yurina's blog post translated. It's basically just a shout-out to the other event she should be at that day: the "Mikakunin Festival" for young artists. She's been made the cheering squad for that festival, which involves several lives across Japan for unknown teen bands. Since the Osaka live is on the same day as the FujiQ event, she can't make it. She expressed her support for them and said she was nervous, too, and they should all work hard together.
