i decided to push the blog pages project for imaizumi because i dont know when sony/seed&flower will pull her blog.
when i do a nogi project i have 3 categories for each member:
1 scans of blog pages (these arent a problem)
2 galleries of blog photos (keyas official site is way different from nogis, if you want the blog photos youll have to 'snip' them as i dont have time to do it myself. if you download the blog pages all the photos will be there for you to grab.
3 keya doesnt seem to do cards. why, idk
this is the best i can do. gomen. all imaizumis blog pages can be downloaded here:

if she blogs after this ill update the link. i wish i could do more

 

So, here we go... my official goodbye, though I hope it will be just a simple delay in Zuumin's career

...It's not much, but it had never been so hard.



(Hopefully it's not too big, in which case I'll reduce it. For better res, on my DA page there's a bigger version of it)

 

Ahh I'm truly sad about this. I wanted the group to grow and explore different directions and I wanted Yui as a center eventually. Neither of those things was going to happen anyway. I think she's better off leaving the group, it was really taking a toll on her mental health. I really hope she will debut as a soloist though, I love her voice and hope she stays in the music industry, she really suits folk music

 

I'm heartbroken. That's the only way I can express it.

Real world has been preventing me from actively following these forums... Decided to check out the forums mainly for any news regarding Mona but found this instead.

Zumiko is one of my favorites. Yuichanzu is my favorite unit. Shibuyagawa is still one of the best songs I've ever listened to. Her solo songs are always so heart wrenching. She always puts her heart into each syllable.

She's not the prettiest member. But whenever she smiles, she put a bit of light into this sometimes dreary world.

Now she's gone.

So long Zumiko, I'll miss you. Farewell, and see you again soon.

 

Keyaki members saying almost the same things about Imaizumi:

• all praising her singing, dancing, expressiveness, level of performing, and how hard she works during rehearsals. They really respect and admire her.
• she has a bright personality and very cheerful
• she is kind and friendly
• she has a great smile

and if you haven't read it yet: https://www.keyakizaka46.com/s/k46o/diary/detail/11830?ima=0000&cd=member
something from last year (from kagechan's blog).. Kage talks about Imaizumi's return from hiatus, how much she admires her and how she really wants to get closer and spend more time with her.

 

a member was kind enough to share with me the collection of yuis blog photos (something my program couldnt do). credit to that person

Thanks for sharing... Dang, I will miss her bright smile...

 

Yuipon's blog about Zuumin

 

Please continue to love Yuichanzu's songs? Definitely!

 

The more I'm looking at this picture, the more I'm lovin' it and the more I'm feeling sad to see her go...

 

yuipon's blog title for her blog about zuumin is just

 

She really does have a knack with words, doesn't she? I wonder if in the future YuiPon will get a chance to write the lyrics of one of Keya's songs (fat chance, but well, I'm allowed to dream, aren't I?)

 

totally agree, i really had high hopes for yuichanzu to write their own song and come up with their own mv concept.. pon's word sense+ zuumin's creativity+ both their musical talents.. so sad..

 

Actually, recently i stumbled across an old interview... and Yuipon said she have won writing competitions before

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

bad quality but still watchable.

 

zuumin!!!
goin to miss her as a keyaki

 

Wow kinda unfortunate, she's definitely the one who actually wants to be an idol the most in keyaki, and the one of the few who really cared for her fans out of the keyakis.

Also she's missing from the 7th single but was she actually on hiatus this time? Or is that because of this graduation? Is it possible we won't see her at all anymore after this announcement?

 

^ isn't she still going to be in a drama?

 

I think she'll still be in show biz? Japanese fans may still be able to follow her relatively easily. I'm not sure about us international fans.
