Kato Minami (Katomina) / 1st Generation

Moeka's Letter for Her Seitansai was from Katomina (Was hoping somebody could translate this).

Spoiler

萌香へ

お誕生日おめでとう。

今日一緒にお祝い出来なくて寂しいけど、ここでお祝いさせていただきます。

私は萌香に助けられてる1人です。不安なこと、悩んでること、すべて1人で抱え込んでいるといつも心を見透かされてるかのように「大丈夫？」と連絡をくれたり、声をかけてくれます。

特に去年の年末、どうしようもなく自分に絶望感を感じていた時期、萌香が弱音を吐く場所がなくて苦しかったね。でも「お願いだから頼ってほしい」と言ってくれました。

ほんとにこの言葉をかけてもらってから、こんなにも自分に向き合ってくれるメンバーがいるものなんだとその時に気付かされました。

それでいて、萌香も萌香で繊細な心を持っていて、泣いている萌香を何度も見てきました。

気づいたら踊りながら泣いている萌香。いなくなったと思ったら泣いている萌香。鏡の前で練習しながら泣いてる萌香。三角座りをしながら端っこで泣いている萌香。ドアを開けた先、床に倒れ込んで泣いている萌香。

そんな時、いつも萌香の隣には誰かメンバーが必ず一緒にいました。萌香は誰も放っておくことの出来ない存在なのです。

それでも、例え自分で精一杯になったとしても、メンバーの心を感じとって、誰にも出来ない目に見えない支え方が出来る、そんな萌香だからこそメンバーの中で必要とされる存在なことに間違いはないし、メンバーに愛される1つの理由だと思っています。

萌香がメンバーにしてくれているように、自分がネガティブな気持ちになった時、メンバーは全力で守るし、話も聞くよ。味方になるよ。

萌香はきっと今、成長したいと思ってるから、自分のことも同じように支えられていると、無敵な萌香になるんだろうなって思います。

でも無敵な萌香ちゃんになったらちょっと寂しいなとも思っちゃうけどね。

この前、組閣が発表されて、1期生はチームが分かれることになったけど、私と萌香は同じチームNⅢ。いつでもステージで隣に立って歌いたいと思える萌香とこれからも同じチームで活動出来ることを正直ほっとしています。

萌香の隣に立ってると、不思議と安心感があります。それがきっと萌香が出来る目に見えない支え方なんだなと思います。

萌香にとって1年はファンの皆さんの支えで変わる1年だと思います。きっとファンの皆さんは萌香のことをとても大事に思ってくれて、何かあれば凄く凄く考えてくれているんだと思います。

だからきっと、この先支えてほしい時に期待に応えてくれるはず。安心してねって私が代弁して言います。

今日は生誕祭に出られなかったけど、こうしてお手紙で生誕祭に参加できて嬉しく思います。

萌香お誕生日おめでとう。大好きだよ。

To Moeka

Happy Birthday.

I missed celebrating together today, but let's celebrate together here.

I am always the one who is being supported by Moeka. Worrying about this, worrying about that, and I always feel like I have to do it by myself and I try to listen to my heart and my head, but then Moeka always contacts me and asks, "Are you okay?"

Especially at the end of the last year I felt very hopeless and like my effort was worthless, it was painful without Moeka by my side. However, you told me, "I'd like you to rely on me when you need it."

It was at that time that I realised how many people I was affecting by behaving this way and I was truly honoured by Moeka's words.

However, Moeka has a very delicate heart and I've seen you cry many times before.

I realised Moeka was crying while dancing. Moeka was crying when she thought things had finished. Moeka crying in front of the mirror during practice. Moeka crying while sitting at the edge of a triangular seat. Where I opened the door, Moka crouching on the floor.

At that time, there was always at least one member surrounding Moeka. Everyone thought we have to support you and can't just leave you alone.

With that being said, I can feel it to the fullest that the members' hearts are connected. There is nobody that doesn't try to support others and because it is Moeka, we all feel this necessity inside of us. You can't do anything wrong and I think that is why you are so loved among the members.

Moeka is a member that, when you feel negative, the other members will protect you and listen to your story. We are your allies.

I can understand that Moeka wants to grow from now on. I think that if you keep being supported in the same way, you will quickly become Invincible Moeka (TN: in Japanese, it's an alliteration; Mutekina Moeka).

But I think it will be somewhat lonely when you become invincible.

Before this, we had a team shuffle announced and the first generation was split into different teams but me and Moeka are still on Team NIII. I'm honestly really very relieved because I want Moeka to stand beside me when I sing and dance.

When I'm next to Moeka, there is some sense of wonder and security. I'm sure that is an invisible way in which Moeka supports me.

I think in the coming year Moeka will change with the support of fans. I'm sure all the fans will keep supporting you and that you will gain many new fans and I will keep thinking about you a lot.

So surely you will be able to meet your own expectations when you want us to support in the future. I'm sure you will become more comfortable holding speeches.

I couldn't make it to your birth place today, but I'm very please I'm able to celebrate your seitansai with a letter like this for you.

Happy Birthday Moeka. I love you lots and lots.

Your Kato Minami

 

I'm just curious, what does ippaiwarae means? Both Ogiyuka's twitter and instagram has that suffix.

 

Ooops, i think you're on the wrong thread XD anyway, it means something like "laugh/smile a lot"

 

Oops, sorry about that.

Thank you for answering my question though.

This time, it can not be made just with the foundation, making the skin reflecting the light ♥ とき When in the room, of course, even when you are outside ^ ^ I think that it is completely different how you take self-taking depends on whether highlighting is inserted MAC highlight, lame is a fine type, if it is petit plait is also possible at all! ! ! At that time lame is not strong Pinkish skin Good color familiar is good (^ ν ^) # make # make # highlight # mac # clinique #rmk

I took it at the break time of the handshake party and finished it and finished haste editing ☺ ️ ♥ ️ freshly made Hayahoya How to apply the lip, it is surprisingly difficult, I think there is an ideal lip, but I think the outline I think that a firm lip is ideal, I like this painting method which I can easily do so I think I want to put it (^ ν ^) It is important to choose a pretty color for cute, but if you carefully paint it will make your face clearer To do

I loved that little banter between Katomina and Noepii

 

^^ same~
But all that goes on in my head when i see them "tsun-ing" around, is "JUST DATE ALREADY DAMMIT"

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

 

You never know what goes on behind closed doors But I have to admit, Mina & Noe are my favourite ship in NGT, possibly even my current No.1 ship in the 48G

 

YES, its so good They even surpassed atsumina, wich was my number one from all times ÇALSKJFÇOISGD The power of katoepii/minanoe must not be underestimated lol

 

My favourite ships so far have included Atsumina, Twin Towers (Akimoto Sayaka & Miyazawa Sae) and TanoTomu and HiraTano - those were usually quite strong and powerful ships. With Katoepii it feels more cutesy to me, which I like~

 

Ahh, i see this thread is not only all-out Katominamism anymore, but Katoepii worship too.

 

Katomina along with OgiYuka and Ayutarou will be Book cover + Mini Book of Laundry®×MEI 2WAYBAG BOOK

"A deep talk I learned from Melonpan"
I believe that food has influence not only for eating but also by other things.

Let's talk about melonpan today! I dream about the crunchy part of the melonpan's surface. Reality part of the bread in the middle. will do. The part I like is dream only, so I always want to sell only on top of it ~ I think. However, when you eat the part of the dream, the reality will inevitably become reality. At this time, I thought.
When you want to make a dream come true, reality comes absolutely together. Even if I do not like the reality, even if I can not accept it, my dream will come true because there is reality. In other words, because you eat the bread part and the crisp surface together, the feeling of crispness becomes special. Dreams should be special. Dream and reality should definitely be tasted together.

Melone, thank you for teaching me
I will not eat only delicious parts from this time! ^^ Everyone

I will try hard as well tomorrow.

TWINTAIL MINAMI IS TOO STRONG Btw, do you guys think her aura was enhenced in like, 300% since being promoted to captain? SHE'S SUCH A PRO UGHHH ASÇLKDJGOI

 

Basically a boost in her self-confidence like how Kado and Miyajima became more confident after SSK.

 

Katomina's 2018 SSK Poster

 

I just LOVED that she went with the instaqueen chara Hope we can get her back to number 1!!!

 

That's so cool! Komiharu also did a poster with an instagram theme but I have to say, Katomina managed to do it a bit better. I think this looks better
