The head captain's 1/9 blog post about recent events and Shiraishi's graduation.

Spoiler: blog post

My Twin Onee-chan ヽ(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ603

Hello everyone (^^)

It’s 2020~♪

Did you watch the New Year’s Who is the Real Celebrity program?

To make such a shocking mistake
even I was surprised……lol

To confuse beef and pork was (・・、)

Anything I say now will seem like an excuse, but
it was all deliciousーー！！！

It’s no use making excuses, huh. lol

I appeared with
Maiyan・Kana・Maichun
in an ad for special packaging
for Asahi Super Dry~♪

My dad often drinks it and
I like it too, so I’m happyー♡

Appearing in a beer commercial
It feels like I’ve become an adult~ (^^)

The cute packaging is just right for cherry blossom viewing, so
look forward to it going on sale~♪

All of you over twenty years old,
let’s definitely drink it together ♡

Also…

Kuroishi Mai-chan’s graduation was announ…

Ah, that’s wrong.

Shiraishi Mai-chan’s graduation was announced.

Ahーーーー, no no no!

I said something un-captainlike (>_<)
I couldn’t hold it in.
I forgot my position and my feelings leaked out. lol

Although I heard it before the official announcement,
when the real announcement came
I still didn’t really get it.

Above all, I totally can't imagine
what it'll be like when she’s gone, I don’t know how I feel.

Always leading the vanguard
jumping into new things, creating a path for us
The group’s blossom, its sun
For continuing to shine on everyone
I have nothing but gratitude.

We also share similarities in our personalities
That she was like a real older sister to me
made me happy♪

I’m really glad I met you (^^)

Even after you leave the group
I’ll always continue cheering for you♪

Let’s make a lot of memories!

Until graduation, we’ll have to keep searching
for more and more things that we twins share in common ♡♡ lol
