Ishida Chiho (Chiho)

Chihochan had to design her Oshi Bag yesterday. I am really interested to see it!!!
I really wanted one too though

She also participated at the emergency meeting yesterday, which had suuuper important subjects haha


Actually I was waiting for Chihochan to say something to, and then at the last minute she raised her hand!!

She was talking a bit about the bento's they get at STUÄs event, mentioning, as they're working in 7 different prefectures they always get a speciality from the prefecture there are working at.

Chihochan later wrote in a mail that she was really nervous and wasn't sure what to do, etc. She always remembered her promise though that she will take every opportunity she gets from now on, and took the courage to say something at last minute. She knew she can't let this chance go by. Good job, Chihochan

===

Let's all trust in Management lol

 

We just can't trust them with stuff like this

 

There will be a longer version of the meeting next month?

Apparently there will be some backstage interviews too. Not sure about the date though.

This is so cute!!

Yumirin and Chihochan did a recording for STU no Chirimen Party today. They're going to look back at this year's SSK. An unusual ChiriPa pair we should look out for and enjoy!


Chihochan also mentioned in her mail that they both got a lot of flowers today and were able to celebrate again.


At the end of the day Chihochan had some time to go shopping with Fuchan.

FuChiho, both wearing twintails

 

FuChiho is cute

 

I miss KadoIshi though

 

Yeah, me too. I hope the KadoIshiIshi shoot is not the last thing we'll see from them ...


Chihochan had her stream at 5:30AM this morning, saying how she was already at work at 4AM, getting her hair and make up done - she was already prefectly styled.
A lot of other STU girls streamed from the same white room, so I guess they had some sort of shoot?

 

^ I wonder what their work was for today.
She might not even come online this evening. I hope she can get some rest soon.

 

No idea, but she sent us a lot of mails with flowers, and rice fields, and streets. So I guess some work outside? She also posted some photos of her and Fuchan - only showing them holding hands.
And no, she won't get any rest as she's up at 5:40AM streaming again lol

Chihochan uploaded some photos. Looks like a school uniform. I really wonder what shooting they had ...


She also mentioned that she likes to draw between shoots. Or at home. It calms her down. Geez, I am really looking forward to her design for the Oshi bag even more now haha

Some more things from the SSK

And from Episode 12 of Students

if the video does not show watch the video here
Even talking about Chihochan's pledge
At least they acknowledge it. I hope they won't forget it now though lol

 

Management needs to be careful though. I've heard the main way was for cars - like a highway were they're driving quite fast - and is quite dangerous to use for a bike. They'll probably need to search for a bike friendly way first. If they will do it at all.

 

FuChiho went to Miyajima today Eating an oyster bowl, Gelato (sweet potato flavor for Chihochan), and Age-Momiji (cheese flavor for both).

Had to include these 2 photos from Chihochan's mail as they look so beautiful natural.

Next week we'll see some sporty Chihochan as they have some Undokai episodes on Imousu starting.

She herself said many times that she isn't that athletically. Do your best, Chihochan~

ＳＴＵ Ishida Chiho／The fastest at walking while doing a bridge

I am also good at Monomane。But thanks to our program （「ＳＴＵ４８ no SETOBINGO！」）my shell cracked and I was able to show myself more。And now I can say with confidence that I am the fastest in bridge walking in STU48。

For the Setouchi 7 prefecture tour I was able to stand on stage for several days、which helped me to recognize in what area I need to grow。I also got to do my first gravure、and even though I was really nervous、I had a lot of fun too and thought it would be great to get more opprtunities to do gravure。

As of my goal for the Senbatsu Sousenyo、I aim to rank within the Top 100。I am going with the thought of「Chance！」into this years Sousenkyo。Various people will watch it、so the chance of opportunities for various things will grow if my name will be called。

◇ Get my checki as a present。Please go to the Nikkan Entame homepage to see how to apply。

So, give Chihochan more gravure shoots!?

 

Chiho wrote about her journey leading up to this year's SSK and getting #99.

The newspaper version of the column above

I wanted to translate it, but she's saying the same thing she did in mobame, and showroom, etc. Talking about last year's SSK was held indoors whit the members watching from the audience seat, instead of sitting on stage, which made her feel as if she was only a spectator - STU48 just started to do their Handshake events 2 months ago. She felt super happy for Naachan, even though she got #9 instead of her aimed Kami 7 rank. And she good super inspired from her speech, that she wants to have a group where hard work will definitely be rewarded. So Chihochan took her Mainichi Idol status even more serious, and noticed that her popularity grew, having people coming to her HS event saying; "I saw your stream and got curious!" etc.

She aimed to rank in the prelims this year, but also to be in the SR Senbatsu. As she reached the first goal (prelims), she noticed that she definitely wants to rank in the Top 100 now and knew that she won't be able to keep both things. At the end of the SR Senbatsu she was rank 16, but there wasn't much point difference between the other girls, so her fans did their best to keep her in. At last she got #14.

During the SSK she was allowed to w center a song (Green Flash), and could even stand on stage in a unit together with her Senpai's of the other groups, and she knows this was the chance they gave her thanks to her prelim rank. She felt the importance to rank in even more now. When rank 100 was called with 14k+ votes she begun to feel uneasy, but she believed in her fans. She was truly at ease and happy when she was called at #99.

Wit this her opportunities will grow, and she'll definitely do her best to grasp for every chance she gets. Especially because one year ago she was standing in the shadows of the other members, even within the Hiroshima members, and wasn't sure if she could ever step forward. But now she wants to be able to say to her past self; "You will meet wonderful fans. No matter how frustrated or sad you are, don't give up and always try your hardest".

Sousenkyo Special. Chihochan mentioned again how nervous she was when rank #100 got 14k+ votes. She was nervous etc. Same old. She's really happy about her rank. She wants to aim for a higher rank next time, etc. Then they talked about their songs. Setouchi no Koe; Chihochan wasn't selected for their 1st song but she loves it. Kurayami; 1st Single. Chihochan was really happy to be in Senbatsu for their first single. Pedal to sharin to kita michi to; their newest single. Chihochan loves it. Especially performing it in front of fans. Everyone gets energetic during this song. (They didn't talked about Omoidasete Yokatta). Then they talked about the upcoming 2nd Single, in which Chihochan mentioned again, that she's happy about it since it's amazing that they get the chance for this, etc.

Chihochan on the phone. The female radio announcer mentioned how cute Chihochan's voice is after she did her catchphrase
They talked about the SSK, with Chihochan getting in at rank 99. They even mentioned that it was a Sekai (World) Senbatsu for the first time even. Then they mentioned that she even managed to rank in the SR Senbatsu too. Chihochan talked about how nervous she was until the last second because it was unclear if she'll rank at all, so she was really happy about it. And super grateful to her fans who're supporting her this much. Then another talk about the 2nd Single, in which Chihochan is in Senbatsu too. And lastly; She wants to go to the sea with the STU members this summer!

Actually, this is her wish since the beginning; Going to the sea with all the members. She wants everyone to hang out and have fun together. Playing games, splitting watermelons, doing a BBQ, and doing some firework.

 

Management, take notes! We need a new documentary, which ends with the opening day of their theatre, and then they're all having fun together at the beach. I need a 1 hour long footage of this though lol
