[GENERAL] The Sakurazaka46 / Keyakizaka46 Thread

Eh..long hair??

 

This is Ariake Colosseum First One Man Live

 

re zero, re life, re mind.. japan hype over replay series lately.

 

With Hiragana's new drama as well as their exposure on TV shows as Hiragana vs Kanji plus the additional members. I am really getting a feeling management is gonna promote Hiragana separately. It may be a good idea? I do not know. Kanji is really known for their performances as a one united group and their tight bond as a group. So maybe adding Hiragana and taking out Kanji members might disrupt the chemistry between the Kanji members? I dont know. What will happen to Neru if they separate Hiragana? Oh so many questions. I am looking forward to how things unfold.

Anyways, don't mind me. I am just doing some random late night ramblings. I am really glad though Hiraganas are getting more exposure. They have really talented members and it's a shame that they are just in the back-burner.

 

well i just happy that hiragana get their own drama . in the early 2016 , this will be just a mindless rumor and people will think hiragana as an under . but now with recent apperence in keyabingo and keyakitte especially with additional new member, Hiragana will get the chance they deserved . for me if they deserved a drama , how about double A-side? the fierce and cool of kanji with the cute and fluffy of hiragana . and with zuumin return, this has been a great day for keyakizaka.

Now i just sit back and wait for new hiragana to appeared in keyakitte and the 5th single annoucement

 

Will it be only in Japan or US too?

 

i think it will air on netflix

 

Yeah but it probably going to be locked to Netflix JP.
TokuDare showed up on Amazon Prime so maybe in the future for other markets.

 

Maybe but Netflix doesn't seem to be in the locking out content business model. Matsui Rena's Netflix show came over pretty quickly. I have hope this will too.

 

A few more notes about 1st Makuhari live (from Twitter, 2channel via K46 news sites):
-- 18,000 people
-- VIP seats: Nogizaka, Nogi 3gen, Hiragana 2gen, Sashihara Rino (HKT48), Yamamoto Sayaka (NMB48), Watanabe Mayu (AKB48), Nishikawa Takanori (=TM Revolution)
-- opened seats way at the back, complaints that you needed binoculars. pillars in some places
-- great smiles from Yui-chans as they do the "took out my earphones" part of Futari Saison
-- Zumiko did the whole show her songs in the show and then the encore.
-- Techi big smiles with Aoi during W-Keyakizaka in the encore
-- a fan in his 40s bumped into the glass of an exit door on his way out and smashed it, with great noise
-- praise for 156 and Goninbayashi especially Aoi, Mii-chan, Satoshi
-- great live, full of emotion
-- most posters from 2channel using "Zumiko" rather than "Zuumin" or anything else. Twitter still more "Zuumin." I will go with Zumiko, since she has said (on KeyaKake #78) that's what she prefers -- and also because it's a new name for a new era.
-- Hiragana drama plot from TV Tokyo's site for the show:

• High-school classmates wake up and find themselves seated around a big table.
• Suddenly confined, strange scenes in front of their eyes
• There's a reason they can't escape....
• Oppressed by fear and confusion: why are they gathered here in this place and this situation?
• They struggle to discover why and find a way out
• Who shut them up here, and why?
• sealed room, constraint, disappearances

-- chief producer of drama says in Oricon story that it will be on Netflix world-wide. He also says that they all want to make an innovative drama. The story doesn't sound all that innovative, so we shall see. I have high hopes for Memi, who seems to me to have some acting ability. And Kage-chan says she has long wanted to be an actress -- and I think she may have the ability to do whatever she wants.

Nogizaka members arriving at last night's show:



Photo of the hall:

 

And there is Konno Yoshio in that picture as well. Btw, is Konno Yoshio also involving in Keya's mngmnt? I read comment on other blog, it said that Konno-san has no relation with Seed & Flower. Was that true?

 

As far as i know, she did not. Just her solo, then reappears in encore.

Seems like she haven't memorized / practiced the new choreo yet, which is understandable.

 

Not sure if you all have seen this but it features Sawabe and Iwai and the tune parodies Eccentric.
My sides died laughing.
Starts at 2min mark


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

@ukifune the third image with the balloon, is not makuhari. I think it's another date. Makuhari is only arena seats, very very big

 

Today is their best performance, the most insane and strongest Fukyouwaon complete with new directing


SHE'S BACK!



pics from

 

So, Zuumin has ended her hiatus? Or only in this concert?

 

First was her gravure, 'second step' was her second gravure, i guess this marks that she finally returns to Keyaki

 

Translation of a tweet by @SSMK0813:

Fukyouwaon
White powder all over her Fukyouwaon outfit,
Techi's breathing resounded through the hall.
Then through the silent hall, a shot rang out:
She hit her chest and blood spread out
She grabbed her face with her bloody hand, especially the left side.
As the song ended, her face was covered in blood,
And her mad smile shook me.

Apparently Ozeki shot the gun. And with Techi down, the group danced around her slowly. And she did "My Coffin" just before Fukyouwaon, apparently. One slightly negative comment wondered if we have a new concept: Keyakizaka Theatre ("Gekidan Keyakizaka"). I might say the same thing, but positively.

Neru said the last "boku wa yada" and apparently did a great one, no word of any criticism, this time. One poster said Neru was the tour MVP, on stage all the time (for Kanji and for Hiragana) and finally giving her best "boku wa yada" ever, sad and powerful.

Apparently Katou Shiho fell backward off the 1.3-meter stage during a move in Eien no Hakusen. Afterward she said: "Toshi-chan is the strongest, so I wasn't hurt." This goes down in the list of famous K46 sayings.

The show ended with the end of Fukyouwaon, no reappearance to thank fans, say goodbye, etc. One poster wondered if this would be okay...then the hall erupted. It was more than okay. In his post-event tweet, Takahiro says he was in charge of both choreography and staging.



Both Sawabe and Tsuchida were there, so people are expecting to see something soon on KeyaKake. Aoi said something about cameras being there.

Thanks to @too much idea and @gocchisama for corrections of earlier posts.

@MasToppu -- My question was: does Konno-san have a role with Nogi, too? So yes, he is the head of the K46 operation. I thought he worked for Seed & Flower, which I understand to be part of/owned by Sony, but perhaps he works for Sony directly. Not sure.
