Which members often wear eyeliner on shows such as Nogizaka under Construction ? I've noticed that Ringo and Yoda are the regular ones. Who else have you noticed ? And do you think Bananaman should too in order to match the girls ? Wouldn't it be good if the guys try to match the style of the girls, such as with matching clothing and even eyeliner ?

 

Himuko was enough for me.

 

I don't think I've ever given a thought to what the members wear in terms of makeup except maybe "rouge" or nail polish. Being male, I don't think I can tell how they did their makeup. I'm sure they do it well after all the all beautiful.

 

Kaki is this week's All Night Nippon guest:

Highlights:
-Kaki has started using perfume, since her admired senpai use perfume. She chose a soap scent, which Shinuchi says fits Kaki’s image. Shinuchi recently bought ¥20,000 perfume (mentioned in the July 8 Hinako episode) and has received many compliments on it. Shinuchi doesn’t want to name the perfume on air, but she gives some for Kaki to smell during the commercial break.
-Kaki and Shinuchi say that this summer hasn’t felt like summer. There’s no Summer Tour and everyone’s indoors. Kaki had a cousin born in Osaka this year, but they haven’t been able to meet because of the pandemic. Before this year, Kaki would go back to her parent’s home every month.
-Kaki says that nobody back in her home prefecture of Tochigi recognizes her in a face mask. Maichun admits that people don’t recognize her either when she goes to restaurants in Saitama. Maichun says people in Tokyo look at each other more when walking in public. When she rides the train, she feels more gazes on her as she approaches Tokyo.
-Maichun says she can notice celebrities in the city because their faces are smaller and their figures are thinner. She recently passed by such a person in the street, before realizing it was Saya. Kaki agrees, saying that back when the 4th gen entered Nogi, Yan-chan would attract stares when riding the train.
-Art was the only class where Kaki got top marks in school. She’s not particularly into drawing landscapes, she prefers designs and illustrations. Kaki wanted to become an animator. Ever since she was young, she was fascinated by how animators create detailed movement.
-Kaki plays a song that broadcast whenever club activities ended at her middle school, Sekai no Owari’s Starlight Parade. She associates it with a lonely feeling, because she enjoyed basketball club and didn’t want it to end.
-Kaki (166 cm) often wears Shinuchi's (165 cm) old outfits for songs. When Shinuchi joined Nogi, she was also happy to wear Shiraishi’s old outfits.
-Kaki says that whenever the 4ki finish a job together, Kuromi writes a long message on Line, saying thank you, good work, etc.

New 4ki segment with Satou Rika (from 1:33:43)
-Kaki says Rika has a soft fluffy feeling (fuwafuwa) and praises others a lot.
-What led Rika to audition? She wanted to broaden her horizons and enter a different world. There also aren’t many people in show biz from Iwate prefecture, so she wanted to lead the way for others.
-What led Kaki to audition? She liked idols, but hadn’t thought of becoming one. The moment that changed her mind was seeing Synchronicity performed on a music program. She was moved by how beautiful the members were and thought for the first time of becoming one.
-What led Shinuchi to audition? She was tired of her regular job search, thought she could also apply to be an idol, and passed. She hadn’t particularly thought about becoming an idol, but she wasn’t uninterested in show biz, so it would’ve been her last chance.
-Rika wants to know how to talk to senpai. Kaki says that at the start, she just asked senpai for selfies together. Maichun says when the 2nd gen started out, at handshake events, she would check senpai’s schedules and talk to them if they were free during the 3rd break period (1st break everyone’s still sleepy, 2nd break everyone eats lunch, so 3rd break is best). Kaki says she’s bad at initiating conversation, so she’s glad that Shinuchi is the senpai who speaks to her the most, but Kaki still finds it awkward to do the approaching because Shinuchi is usually talking to a lot of people.

EDIT:
The first episode of Rena’s new show Ohatsu-chan about first-time experiences is up on bilibili. First guest is Momoko, whose goal is to "wash a certain animal."

Kaede and Yoda have tested positive for coronavirus, from the results of a PCR test conducted on all Nogi members and management staff on 8/27 (Thursday); the results were confirmed 8/31 (Monday). They are currently both asymptomatic and quarantining at home. Other members who came into recent contact with them are being re-tested. Hopefully the two recover without symptoms or further spread.
Official announcement: http://www.nogizaka46.com/news/2020/09/post-1012733.php

 

Let's hope they won't develop symptoms. They are young and healthy, so I am not too worried, but it would be devastating if they would suffer serious lung problems.
Some patients take months to recover.

Get well soon!

皆様へ To everyone
It was just announced, but
I tested positive in the results of a coronavirus PCR test taken on 8/27.

As I’m doing group activities, I’m always taking thorough disease precautions,
I didn't notice symptoms, and I was also being careful outside of work, but in the end, I was infected
To all the fans, as well as members and everyone involved with us, I have caused enormous trouble and worry.
I am truly sorry.

Just as I was thinking I would do the best that I’m able
to go outdoors
to make the world even slightly brighter,
and become able to support someone’s heart,
something like this ended up happening; I am truly useless.

For the time being, I will not be able to participate in activities. I will now try to find what I can do while I live at home.

Everyone, sincerely, please be careful.

I wish from my heart for an end to the coronavirus as soon as possible
and everyone can live in the world with a little more peace of mind.

応援してくださっている皆様へ To everyone supporting us
Good evening
It’s Satou Kaede

The announcement was on the official site just now, but
a positive result for coronavirus came out from my PCR test a few days ago

To the members and staff first of all, and everyone involved with us, and all the fans, I am truly sorry for causing huge trouble

I myself believed that I had taken enough disease precautions, so I couldn’t hide my surprise at these results
I couldn’t think of anything
I became full of apologetic feelings

It’s not a relief I was asymptomatic, but rather, it’s scary that I’m asymptomatic
If I had continued on in this way without taking the test…
that thought is my one saving grace in knowing this “positive” result

At the same time
I have received and been helped by many warm words from the people around me, I am full of gratitude for having so much support

Under the guidance of the public health center, I am now resting and recuperating at home
I face no difficulties living at home and am doing very well
I will strive to recover quickly so I can show everyone my energetic self

I will continue to pay close attention to managing my health

And I wish for an end to the coronavirus as soon as possible.
Everyone, please, please also be careful…!

I hope everyone can stay healthy.

Apologizing for getting infected is standard in Japan, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth...

 

I really hope no other member got infected but i hope wotas not blame them if their fav member got infected too after this.

 

They could even got virus not while doing their routine job but from family members or relatives. So it's good they know about being actually infected so it could help their relatives too.

 

Gws denchan, yoda.
Just the other day if I'm not mistaken that announcer(?) and group bakusho monday tested positive; they have show on TBS.
Mgmt should be alerted by now as covid could already swarmed those entertainer workplaces.

 

Wishing a speedy recovery to yoda chan and den chan

 

This is the scary part knowing how signs don't kick in right away...
Hoping everyone gets Rona-free soon.

 

The news that Yoda and Denchan were infected by the rona is disheartening. Their blog post about it seem to indicate that they're all right and don't show anything worse. I'm hopeful that they recover soon.

 

It is frightening to see that, despite the precautions, 2 members are infected.
I hope the other girls will not have the virus

I wish Yuki and Kaede a good recovery. Come back to us quickly in full health


But let's move on to something less sad

Nogizaka46's live action movie "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" will release its official fan book titled "Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! Te wo dashita hito senyo official book" on 18 September 2020.
