    I'm not surprised really that it took 5 years for this movie to be shown, 'Shoplifters' with Lilli Franky won a the price at the Cannes film festival ... this normally would lead to congratulations for the director by the Japanese Government ... well, as the picture highlights the darker side of Japan ... not a word.
    on another note ... turns out we stayed in a backpackers hotel in that ward 2 years ago, sometimes it is ... the less you know :)

    btw, sounds stupid, I know, but it's borderline amazing that people think/know/expect that you can have an intelligent discussion with Miichan about difficult or sensitive subjects.
    (and cudos to M&S/Ogi Pro for not blocking this)

    Hinting at graduation soon? From Kojiharu Vlog at Mariko-sama's wedding at 1:50:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    She says "もう 卒業します" (mou sotsugyoushimasu)

    This could be a subtle hint that she may be graduating soon?
    For those who don't know Japanese verb conjugation rules, they have 2 tenses. "Past" and "Non-past". So how do they express the "Future"? Aspect.

    Take this for example in English: "I eat" vs "I am eating". Both are Present tense, but "I am eating" is happening right now, this is called Progressive/Continuing Aspect. With "I eat" this is Simple Aspect, we don't know if the action is ongoing or done.

    In English, we create the Future tense by taking Present Tense Simple Aspect and adding "will": "I will eat".
    Japanese is somewhat similar.

    Mii-chan says "sotsugyouSHIMASU" which means "I graduate". But this is not English Present Tense.


    But if she had said "sotsugyouSHITEIMASU" it would mean "I am graduating (right now)".
    An action in the Present, happening right now. This is their Present Tense.

    But she said "sotsugyouSHIMASU" or "I (will) graduate". Because the action is not happening right now as of this moment, it is in the Future (as there is an explicit conjugation for past tense).

    But later in the video after she says it, it displays "まだしません" "mada shimasen", which means "not yet". Maybe she is joking, but maybe seeing more of her fellow AKB members get married is probably making her think of leaving soon.

    Let's just keep it at not yet ....

    in other news, AKB did a new round with T-Shirts designed/submitted by members, this is Miichan's T-Shirt:
    EHtpHdYUwAE6ooQ.jpg EHtpHf2U0AAE0yP.jpg

    mkay .... scissors ... really :)
    (I didn't try to translate the text though)

    I might add, the ing-form is something other Germanic languages, like Dutch and German, don't have, we just have 'voltooid' (complete) and 'onvoltooid' (incomplete) tegenwoordige tijd (present tense)
    (we have a plethora of tenses compared to Japanese .... but otoh ... we just have one version of the pronouns :D )


    and there was a handshake even in Hiroshima:

    I always like seeing Shiichan and Miichan together ... :)

    Sounds like joking to me.

    And "卒業しています" doesn't really make grammatical sense. You either graduate, or not yet graduate. You can't be in the state of "graduating". "I am graduating" in English is actually a future tense (present in a present continuous form). It's better not to try to match the grammar of vastly different language together.

    Shiichan posted pics with Miichan on twitter:

    ============================
    全国握手会in常滑 ありがとうございました! 休憩中ライブでは「唇 触れず・・・」を歌いました。結構踊る間奏部分、ノースリーブスの時はにゃにゃんの意向で踊らず煽りになっているのですが、まさかこのタイミングで思い出すことになるとは...久しぶりの間奏ダンスで緊張したけど楽しかったな。
    --------------------------------------------------
    Thank you for the nationwide handshake meeting in Tokoname! During the break, I sang “Without Touching Your Lips...…”. It was quite an interlude part of the dance, and when I was in no3b, I was angry without dancing with the intention of Nyan-nyan, but I was reminded at this timing ... I was nervous after a long time, but I enjoyed it.

    as a bonus:

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    being able to perform for such a pumped up crowd ... that must be addictive as hell :)

    I gather Miichan performed “Without Touching Your Lips...…" with Asai Nanami (who was in Miichan's lane) and ?

    We could argue if no3b songs had centers ... but I get it, she had Takamina's position and Naamin Nyan-nyan's .... that's assuming Miichan had her own position :D

    I realized that after posting my reply :^^;: The tweet specified a "center", but as you wrote, Reichan just was in Takamina's position.

    The annual flu shots ...

    =======================
    握手会ありがとうございました。 沢山の人が並んでくれると嬉しくて元気が出るなぁ!元気が出たついでにインフルエンザの予防接種も受けました。おとなしく打たれてたので「えらいね〜」って言われて、もうすぐ27歳ちょっと照れました。子供みたいな顔してる。
    -----------------------------------------
    Thank you for the handshake event. I'm happy and energetic when many people line up! I was vaccinated with influenza when I was fine. Because I was struck gently, I was told "I love it" and soon I was shy about 27 years old. He looks like a child.
    ----------------------------------------
    EIhK7WKU4AUxXcu.jpg EIhK7WRVUAEeT-j.jpg

    "He looks like a child" well, I think google translate messed that up :) ... (leaving out the subject or information about gender doesn't help of course, ow, Japanese :) )
    'Kodomo mitaina kao shi teru.'
    kodomo = child or children
    kao = face
    mitai na = looks like(?)
    so I'm guessing it should be 'I have a face like a child"

    btw, I'm sure they play it up for the drama .... but damn, it's a tiny prick, no need for the hysterics :)
    (not talking about Miichan specificaly, just watched a few flu-shots on youtube)
    Isn't the idea to promote flu shots? so making it look like some kind of torture sort of defeats the purpose?

    ow, and Miichan looks pretty :D

    嬉しい優しい好き

    I think it's kinda remarkable that Muto Tomu is using the honorific instead of Miichan

    ============================
    #仁義なき戦い 3日目終了! いろいろハプニングもあったけど笑、その分Aキャストのチームワークとか仲良しさを感じて思い出に残る回になりました

    なんとみぃちゃんもわざわざ博多来てくれたの!すき!
    --------------------------------------------------
    #仁義なき戦い End of Day 3! There was a lot of happenings, but laughter, and I felt that it was a memorable time because I felt good friendship with A-cast teamwork.

    Whatever Mii-chan came to Hakata! Like!
    --------------------------------------------------
    EJGNxzrU8AAr4gY.jpg

    ok, Tokyo -> Hakata ... even with the shinkansen it's still a five hour journey
    btw, looked up わざわざ (wazawaza) because google translate seemed to ignore it, it is an adverb which is used when you go to all the trouble to do something or to go/come somewhere all the way

    Miichan substituted for Takamina on Takamina's radio program .... and lucky Miichan, it was mainly about chocolate :)
    The guest was Japan's only chocolate journalist(?)

    She's the only member that I've loved from the start, ever since I started watching the very first episodes of 1ji 59fun, and she's the only one that's never left my top list :inlove: I hope she has a wonderful birthday!
