Wow, Hinako's English is impressive.

 

nice, I've always heard about it (members often praise her skills) but never actually caught her using it in SR

 

Neither did I. And I am a frequent viewer. Maybe she's not as confident in talking?

 

I'm not really sure if it's her or Saki, but one of them is using some english on her blog too. It's probably Hinako though, looking at her Halloween cards.

 

well, Saki also likes to use English
well, Saki is not very good at using English

 

Haven't you guys watched the Ramen show where she spoke English?

 

Well ... isn't that obvious?

 

She does write in English sometimes, also I remember maybe in the first one? She said she was studying for either TOEFL or TOEIC, one of the American ones anyway

 

the one you didn't post here? No we haven't watched that one yet

 

HAPPY BELATED 18th BIRTHDAY HINAKO!

Nice! Only critique is that it sounds like she said she turned 80 years old... But even native English speakers mess up "-ty" and "-teen" if they say it too fast.

I'm more interested in Hiiko after the AKB theater performance. She wasn't high on my oshi list before, but I'll pay more attention to her.

 

That's the cute part

It's just me probably but I really prefer these kawaii engpanese accents over dab city girl's perfect califonia accent lol

 

I think her new nickname from now on would be "Human rights".

If she ever get called to do majisuka or tofu pro-wrestle this will be her stage name. Whether its smart or not, she seems to have set up a character in this route.

The article is talking about how she criticizes STU management has no human rights on her own SR. (Because of harsh working expectations) Which caused a rather big reaction among 48G netizens a few days earlier.

If this goes well, she might get meme'd a lot lol

Hi everyone, how are you? STU48 1st Generation member, from Kochi prefecture, 18 years old, I'm Hinako Shioi. This is my second General Election. Last year, everything was a first for me, and I was fearful and scared. With a year's experience, this year I would like to aim to be ranked in. This year, I will do my best to let more people know about me, and to support me. As it is the World Senbatsu General Election this year, I will aim for smiles all over the world. I ask for your support.

 

Hiiko started a series on Twitter about the "specialties" of Setouchi on Twitter with the aid of postcards that she found at the post office. She hand wrote all the description in English so us foreign fans could understand more about Setouchi. There's more to come, too.

I hope you guys take a look at them.

Hiiko announced her graduation on the 22nd of June and will graduate on the 22nd of July.
I'm sad to see (another) one of the STU girls I like graduate...
