Okada Nana (Naachan) / 14th Generation

On Saturday she performed in her first and probably last stage fighter stage.
On Sunday she was doing some STU work which is likely recording the MV for STU single. She was there for basically the whole Sunday then came back on Monday night. Between those days, she got a dose of a much needed Ayumin XD
Today she will practice for Hirose Kohmi - Mizuki Nana - AKB collab on FNS tomorrow. I'm not sure she will get a good position considering you have Yukirin and Sasshi there, but I'm glad that she can meet Mizuki Nana

Naachan interview with ITmedia has been published
http://www.itmedia.co.jp/business/spv/1812/05/news038_0.html
http://www.itmedia.co.jp/business/spv/1812/07/news048_0.html
there'll be 3rd part on 12/12

In the first part she talked about her growth which stage play contributed a lot to her growth. Then talked about her difficulty which started from around 2015 which is basically the stuff that is in her docu. That changed when she joined STU. Before she focused on working hard for herself. Now she want to be a leader that do her best with everyone.

In the 2nd part it is about her presenting herself as an individual. Mainly talking about the speeches that she made on SSK. When she made those speeches normally she prepare it overnight. When she was still in school, she also prepare for test and doing homework overnight
The thing to note is that she has a firm stance, thus when something unexpected happen or there are new things to consider when she need to deliver her speech, she can still react to it and deliver her speech firmly.
She is the happiest when she is expressing her thought by standing on stage, singing, dancing, talking.
Also she said that the influence of Aki-P lyrics is great. She is influenced a lot by Aki-P lyric, especially Ikiru Koto (Living) and Kangaeru Hito (The Thinker). The lyrics overlap with something on her life.
Also talked about Eureka Seven where because of it she wanted to grow with a straightforward feeling just like the main character.

The 3rd part will talk about why she is in this business and her relationship with members and fans and how it will be in the future.




=====
STU has released some information about STU48 2nd single but the important thing is... offshots
This is when they recording the MV



This is her wearing school uniform which is the bonus for STU48 2nd single (Setouchi School Uniform collections)
AICJ Junior and Senior Highschool (Hiroshima)

Sanyo's Junior and Senior all girl highschool (Okayama)


Btw, they already start to sell STU48 theater ed (HS). I believe this is the first time that she sold out a slot on the first round (which is limited to 1HS/slot for a maximum of 10 slots). So basically there will be around 450 unique people on that slot. (it will not be 500 since STU HS slot is 80min instead of the normal 90min on AKB HS).

FNS stuff

=====
The day before FNS, she had a photoshoot for BOMB which will be out on Jan 9th. She will be on the cover with Miion and Yuiyui


The day after FNS was mainly practicing, probably for AKB anniversary performance (which is tomorrow, Dec 8th) and for AKB performance on Maya Music Festival in Thailand (Dec 9th)

After that, she probably will be in Dec 12th FNS where they will have a collab between 48,46, and Izone performing a new song. It will be 24nin.
Then AKB Kouhaku on Dec 16th. Hopefully Naachan will get a good position on both event. Last year AKB Kouhaku was relatively forgettable for her.

 

There were nothing really special on the weekend for Naachan, but I really enjoyed AKB anniversary stage. It was fun hearing all AKB single in a single show.


And there was this moment in one of the MC session

precious NaaMako moment at the end

Anyway, she was excited for Team 4 and Yuiri's solocon

After the stage ended, they immediately fly to Thailand
at Haneda airport

arrived in Thailand

As for the performance on Maya, the notable performance for Naachan is the usual river with Kojimako, centering Jabaja, and Scandalous ni Ikou with Zukkii.

One of her fans asked her about Yuiri chan, love or like and she answered it with "Yuiri! my wife! my wife!"
https://twitter.com/yoonyuldestiny/status/1071726756048994304
and of course someone had to report it to Yuiri based on her 755

Good night...

Okada Nana - Priority

https://streamable.com/hsqyk
(the problem with audio and some part of the video was due to the stream being unstable from their side. most performance where there were few people on stage and not moving a lot should be salvageable, but group performance... well... probably it is better to wait for the broadcast version which is in mid January next year).

From another source
https://streamable.com/gsht3
Basically the same defect, but either the original stream have higher volume or the one that made it boosted the volume.
Anyway, it is actually much better to hear it in higher volume so you can hear more of Naachan's voice instead of being drowned a bit by the instruments sound. I was thinking about making a version with higher volume, but since I found this, well, I don't have to do it myself.

She is finally going to be in AKBINGO! Her last appearance was on May 30th, 2017. Having said that, they did group her with STU, which I'm fine with it. But this means that she is almost the furthest away from the MC. I think they were recording AKBINGO for a full day (someone said 5eps worth), so hopefully this means she will also appear in non Lucky Girl episode.


On Thursday it was back to practicing. For MSte and probably some other stuff since she will be performing on Kamikyoku (Yoshimasa) final stage which is on Dec 25th! It will also be Miyu grad stage.
