    Here's something from Satou Shiori's blog:

    [​IMG]

    from Shii-chan's blog: "Hey! Look! Look! Isn't this terrific?! Lol. Makes your heart throb. Tekko and Memi-chan are the best. I've got another version that I'll send in Message."
    "Terrific" translates yabai, which means 'dangerous, terrible, terrific, amazing'. When she says that Techi-Memi is the best, she uses Neru's dialect phrase "saikou ka yo!"

    I wonder if Techi is recoiling as much as it looks, lol. Memi is lovable but aggressive. But it seems they really do get along well. I love the eye-to-eye. I believe they go to school together. That angelic outfit and now this?! Quite the day.

    Now that is an answer! Please accept this delicious imaginary cookie.

    ^ it does look like soft butch Techi is giving Memi a "chill we are in public" stare while her too touchy-feely ultra-femme GF is giving Techi a "kiss me you fool" stare back.

    I don't want to bring back bad memories, but this is such a great photo. The eye has it. From the end of Abunakkashii Keikaku at Summer Sonic last summer. Click to enlarge.

    For what it's worth, currently I think Hirate was so involved in the art last summer that she didn't want to perform unless the way the performance was conceived and delivered was excellent and would express what she thought the song expressed. She was fixated on what she thought of as high standards, and unwilling to appear in something inferior. She may even have been ticked off with other members for not being as devoted to the art as she was. All that on top of being physically and mentally exhausted, and tired of always being looked at and potentially criticized. On the other hand, other members may have thought she was concerned with trifling aspects and wanted her to get down off her high horse and perform, and stop endangering their livelihoods.

    Bad scene, but she ran out of ideas and asked for their help putting performances together and they helped her, making her and them both feel better about things. Maybe now members are (a) more involved in the conception and (b) actually realize they need her and have told her so, and (c) she has said she will keep performing and be more professional.

    These are my tentative inferences from all that I've read so far. Still learning. And still loving Techi, despite or because of the difficulties she may bring.

    something i find interesting about the whole summer ordeal is how much freedom the members seemed to have in handling it.

    @CutePanda -- I'm not sure if I see fearlessness or fear tending toward aggression. In either case, I would not want to get in her way.

    @chrissirhc -- Yes. Very striking how much responsibility/freedom they were given. It reminds me of something Aki-P said over a year ago: that he tried to let each group have some freedom to decide its own direction. The Nogis went toward elegant French schoolgirl, while Keyakizaka went toward revolutionary. Aki-P then wrote songs to follow and amplify the direction he thought he saw in them. He said. This is a lot further along in the process, but he and Sony seem to keep using some variant of that method. However, someone had ordered them to do something, would they have done it? Or more to the point, would Hirate have done it? I think it was the manager of the Rock in Japan festival who wrote afterward that he would not want to be the one to tell Techi what to do.

    I was just catching up with the excellent looong-running manga Skip Beat and reading chapter 247, where the protagonist Kyoko is doing an audition for the role of a ninja in a period drama. Reminded me of one aspect of Techi. The manga hasn't been done as a drama in Japan yet (only in Taiwan)....

    This chapter came out in the magazine sometime around late spring 2017. The book-form came out in October. An homage? A meme? Or no connection.
