    Yamamoto Mikana on Weekly Playboy 2019 no.36

    Shupure Interview -> https://wpb.shueisha.co.jp/news/entertainment/2019/08/26/109591/

    Interview Translation (Source)

    the awaited NMB48 new generation visual ace, yamamoto mikana.
    "i get told that im cute by the senpais, but i don't know how to reply"

    * i want to become an idol that remains in the memories of everyone

    -- it's your first time being on shuupure, how was the shoot?
    yamamoto: in the first place i like my picture being taken, especially since this is a uniform scene, and being able to shoot with the lily flowers that i like makes me happy.

    -- it seems like people say you dislike going outside
    yamamoto: i think i have less chances to go outside than others. i don't want to get sunburnt, so i've liked staying inside the house since i was a kid. i drew pictures in my room, and my club activities was the wind band so i didn't go outside.

    -- also, you get told you "look crazy" often
    yamamoto: maybe its because i have that face (pained chuckle). but fans tell me "you're unexpectedly bright/cheery". im shy, so at first i won't be able to talk much, but if we start getting along ill talk more.

    -- what made you want to become an idol?
    yamamoto: i've liked idols since way before. when i saw the singing and dancing, it made me want to do the same thing. then i auditioned for AKB48, HKT48, STU48 but didn't make it.

    -- i thought you were able to go straight in, but you had to take the long route. which idols do you like?
    yamamoto: yamaguchi kasseigakuen from my hometown, in tokyo denpagumi inc, bando janaimon, wa-suta. i watched them through videos and SNS.

    -- you were even checking idols out since middle school. quite the idol otaku!
    yammoto: recently, i appeared at TIF, being able to perform with =LOVE and magical punchline made me really happy. i also saw banmon's thanmomo and miyuchii, but i was unable to talk to them.

    -- your shyness came out. do you get along well with any senpais?
    yamamoto: if i talk to them i think that its bothersome to them, so i can't bring myself to.

    -- so negative! then, is there any senpai that talks to you often?
    yamamoto: hongo yuzuha from the same team. she just says "kawaii" to me.

    -- what kind of reaction do you have?
    yamamoto: i laugh, say "thank you", and thats it.

    -- you dont continue the conversation do you
    yamamoto: i've been told that my face is "so cute that i want to squeeze and crush it" by ota yuri

    -- thats so scary! but you've been told by 48 group GM mukaichi mion too that you're "super cute" too, you're pretty famous arent you
    yamamoto: but until i entered NMB, nobody said such things to me, its amazing...

    -- do you have a hobby?
    yamamoto: walking

    -- even though you said you dont go outside much!
    yamamoto: i don't want to get sunburnt, so i go out at night. recently i ate cup yakisoba in the street, it was delicious.

    -- why did you do that?
    yamamoto: i was with mizuta shiori at the time, there was someone eating cup noodles and it seems delicious so we thought lets try it out.

    -- thats a weird reason to do something. do you have an idol that you're aiming for/to be like?
    yamamoto: its a senpai that has already graduated but, sutou ririka. her performance draws eyes to her, the way she speaks is interesting/funny, i even bought her book (jinsei wo kiken ni sarase). even when i graduate, i want to be an idol that won't be forgotten. those who oshi me, i want them to think that it was fun doing so.

    -- are you progressing towards becoming such an idol?
    yamamoto: recently in performances fans who say they like me have increased, and members and staff have praised me more, ill work hard to keep this up.

    When will she return?
    it would be a loss if the 23th single will be shot without her.

    ^ At first I was so taken aback by how much longer Mikanyan's hair had gotten I didn't even notice Kojirin's...

    lol Mikana had an abnormal growth of 6500 followers today

    [​IMG]

    I went to see why and it was because of this tweet.

    "Akarin said that the face she wants to be the most in the NMB is Mikana Yamamoto, so I looked again and she looks so cute!
    Not like an idol (in a good way)."

    June 8, 2020 NMB48 theater held no-audience live-streamed birthday for Mikana. 3 members Keita, Kojirin, and Mikana. It was about 1-hr long just the sentansai celebration and no stage-perf, keita and Kojirin read letters, Q and A (best questions was 1) what is Mikana's fetish? A. her bangs, 2) In bath, what's the first thing washed? A. Hair), ending with Mikana's personal statement, thanking everyone for the sentansai, how her time off allowed her to realize how wonderful NMB48 is and its influence on her decision to stay, and finally a solo performance of Bird (the song she auditioned with). Its strikes me how mature Mikana is in her manners and speech. I'm surprised she just turned 18, imo a serious girl like that would need a break to consider going forward as an idol but i am glad she found her reason to stay.

    edit: also messages from all BII members. personal opinion: but seriously is this team just too strong? (okamoto rena, sumire, karin hara, jonishi, plus Mikana, uka, it goes on.)

    Mikana's 3 catwalks plus a talk segment at the Kansai Collection fashion show.

    (Mod edit: removed dead video link)

    Then Modelpress wrote a little article about her appearance, calling her NMB48's next visual ace: https://mdpr.jp/news/detail/2475369

    Check her twitter and insta for nice pics of her in the outfits.

    NMB48 has announced that Mikanyan is taking a temporary rest due to poor physical condition:
    https://ameblo.jp/nmb48/entry-12668572014.html

    I've just got round to watching last October's concerts and she's standing out for me with her looks and personality. I hope she'll be back to full fitness very soon.

    Yeah, hopefully she has a quick - but thorough - recovery, she's definitely one of the stand-out members right now.
