Goto Moe (Moekyun) / Draft 1st Generation

I caught bits of her showroom earlier. She was reading out the names of her viewers (including mine!), and then started doing dance moves and getting people to guess the song. She was super genki, very chatty and smiley and generally looked to be having fun She's at #22 in the rankings at the moment.

 

Moekyun did not rank in this year's sousenkyo

On the plus side, she's currently on Showroom and is super cute as ever

 

So, Moekyun was away for a few days (not updating Google+ etc), but now has returned and says she was in Italy doing something with Nemousu TV Italy!! Some other names thrown about on twitter as having been there too are Murayama Yuiri, Kizaki Yuria, Nishino Miki, Nakanishi Chiyori, Izuta Rina. It looks like they competed in a "carton rapid race", i.e. going down river rapids in a "boat" made from cardboard and tape.

Some pictures on Yuiri's thread.

 

Ah, I found it and edited before seeing your post!

 

As always, translation may be off because Japanese is annoyingly difficult.

Konban-kyun!

It's Goto Moe, aka Moekyun.

Today there was a rehearsal!!

It was the first one I've been able to take part in in a while, so there were a few changes,

I had trouble keeping it straight in my head, but as it's usual for AKB48 performances and concerts, it taught me useful things so I want to take advantage of it.

More physical strength...

Today is already Friday! (o_o)

So that means tomorrow is Saturday!
1 week has gone really fast!

When tomorrow is finished, the next day is summer festival

Do your best for one more day.

Today, "Reason for Existence: Documentary of AKB48" 5th documentary has been released!

Moe has been itching to watch it!

Also, more information about NemousuTV has been announced!

It will be broadcast on Family Gekijo at 1800, 28th August, but it's still a way off...
Please check it out!

"Without ever forgetting the original goal, let's do our best tomorrow!"

The picture is with Hillary-san and Kira-chan.

Until next time!
Moekyun

 

Moekyun is in the Majisuka play next week. @Rurouni linked to this rehearsal clip in Naachan's thread.



In this you can see Moekyun's character name is Ojuken. I looked up, and it seems that means basically cram school for really young kids. There's an article about it here.

 

Taken from the play thread: news and photos about the dress rehearsal. http://news.mynavi.jp/news/2016/07/25/195/

She's currently on Showroom now, and she's singing https://www.showroom-live.com/48_Moe_Goto

 

Looks like they're not done with Moekyun.

I can't believe she's on the front page of the janken book So happy!　News article with some more pictures here.

Other things Moekyun's been up to lately:

Went to Italy with Nemousu TV, built a cardboard boat and raced it down a river. Go watch here.
I saw on Twitter that the next Nemousu TV is Draft 1 vs Draft 2 and she's on that, so look out for it.
Still centering Team B shows whenever Mayu is absent.
Still substituting for Miichan semi-regularly in Team K shows (unit: 22-nin Shimai).
Recently had a shooting for LOVEberry magazine, to be released on 20th Oct.
You can find a LOT of her showrooms on Youtube now, just search 後藤萌咲.

Here are some recent Moekyun pictures.

 

Thanks! Are there any other shows she's been a part of recently? I watched the Kanko Taishi episode with Takei Sara and was absolutely smitten by Moekyun so I've wanted to watch more shows with her in them, but it's been a bit difficult finding them haha.

 

So, unfortunately TV appearances aren't exactly regular for Moekyun, so yeah it can be difficult finding them! Nemousu TV is a good place to look.

Nemousu TV:
Cardboard boat race in Italy (linked above) here.
Baton twirling, part 1 and part 2
Team cooking contest here
Teaching small kids to be idols part 1 and part 2.


I don't have time now but I'll track down some more shows later. Also, if you speak Japanese at all I highly recommend watching her showrooms - she sings, she answers questions, talks about sousenkyo, all sorts.

 

Awesome, I'll definitely check out those other Nomousu episodes, the Italy episode was very enjoyable. I also watched a couple of her showrooms; I liked her singing, haha. I'll also be keeping an eye on the thread, so please continue your fantastic contributions!

 

So, the Blue Ray for 45th Single Sosenkyo already out..
AKB Official You Tube Channel already posting the promotion and preview of it so we could see what exactly happened backstage..

if the video does not show watch the video here
and guess what..
I guess Moekyun took it hard (1:48)


Well, I think on her mind that time, most of her same gen draftees such as Sayaya, Riripon and Naiki got major push, ranked, and even centering a c/w or even singles (Riripon case), she felt like been "left out"..

But, fight on!! Your chances will come!!

 

Yeah, that is really sad that Moekyun dosn't get any push, she really deserves it. Without a push it is hard to rank, so it didn't suprised me, that she couldn't make it this year. She rarely appear in variety or so... I hope that her big moment is yet to come fait-o!

 

Ahh poor kid. I'm hoping there is more space in undergirls now for her to have some push. She was in Lalala Message and Ima Happy...

Last week, Moekyun was in the Reading Theater thing of Koi Koujou, on 22nd September.

She's also appearing on Kimi no Dare, which seems to be a Showroom version of Anta, Dare? If they get 5 million points/stars in the week it'll become a permanent show. She's on 30th Sept at 7pm JST with Saho, Umetan and Shimada Haruka. Full info is here.

I've not had time to go scrounging for more Moekyun shows, but I did come across this performance of Oogoe Diamond from last Halloween. Moekyun is carrying the top line on her own.
