Hoshino Minami (Minami) / 1st Gen

I'll try and translate Minami's blog post from now on since I kinda have some time (I don't really) and its good practice for my japanese this is my first ever translating job and I'm by no means an expert so mistakes are bound to happen. feel free to correct me understanding what she said was easy but just realised its quite difficult to put it back properly in English. though it helps that she writes like a preschooler and short at that

I thought that was going to be a variety show with Sawabe as the host. That was something else!

If I had ever went to a HS event and went to see Hoshino, I would be hoping to see her in that costume because she is absolutely cute in that. Cuteness suits her. It makes my heart go dokki-dokki.

EDIT:

Spoiler

You knew that she was going to be that once she said she came from the future.

@ikki thanks for the translation. It made me smile. Of course, including the kawaii photos really made me smile.

Am I a terrible supporter for wanting her to do every challenge that comes around for the single hit campaigns? Her ice climbing was fantastic as well as her mountain climbing Mt. Fiji. I want to see our cute imouto doing tough physical things. Can she do bungie or skydiving next?

 

of course you're not terrible, everybody would love to see her go all "kyaaa!" again doing any of those activities

 

wanted to share my collection of squeeky (thats my nickname for her) pics. includes cards, which i grab all poses of and the pics i have of her in a kimono. doesnt include PB pics, mainly because i havent gotten around to it. i dont go actively looking for her pics, basically i get them from the sites i visit everyday. i have about 40 i need to check as of today but i add about 20-40 per month so i havent been doing this very long (about a year i guess). havent gotten around to adding her blog post pics although i do have them all. i was able to scrape about 170 of them (shes terrible at updating her blog lol). let me know if this is something your interested in having updated once a month. shes my oshimen because i think shes so adorable and kind and innocent and not likely to graduate for years (that... is just gonna suck). basically im offering about 1500 different pics of her so i hope those of you that do download can enjoy her kawaii squishiness. i love that shes chubby and wouldnt change a thing I LOVES MY SQUEEKY

awesome collection man, thanks for the share!

 

In the last NogiChu (Ep109 2017.06.18), Minami gives a lackluster 'YAY!' in response to Bananaman. She also was lackadaisical on another 'YAY!' in the 17th Single Hit Campaign episode. I wonder if she just loves to troll Bananaman. O, Hoshino, why must you be so cute when you're so lazy! That's our Minami!!

Spoiler: 170713 ラッキーセブン Lucky Seven

18枚目シングルははじめての7番〜端っこ〜
For the 18th single, its the first time being in the number seven spot~at the end~

久しぶりの福神です
Being in Fukujin since a while

素直に嬉しい〜♫
I'm honestly happy〜♫

ポジションが全てじゃないけど、20歳になるまでにもう1回福神に上がれたらな〜って思ってたから、みんなにも嬉しい報告出来てよかったです
Its not all about the position, but because I thought of if I'm able to go higher up in Fukujin once more before turning 20 years old, so I was glad I can tell everyone of the good news


前に福神で活動してたときに、やりたいこととか目標とかなにか強み探さないと！って焦ってダメになっちゃって
When I was in Fukujin last time, I was looking for things I want to do, a target or something, but got flustered and it didn't work out

今はあんまりそーゆうこと考えないで終わった時に楽しかったな〜って思えるような期間にできればいいなって、自分が楽しめばみんなにも伝わると思うし！
But now, I'm not really thinking of it like that. When this ends, being able to think it was a fun period would be good. When I'm having fun, I think it will also be conveyed to everyone!

もちろん、せっかくポジションを与えてもらってるんだからやる気だせよ。とかマイナスに思う方もいると思います
Of course, to be given this valuable position I will show my enthusiasm. And I believe there will also be people with negative thoughts

でも自分が1番自分のことわかってるし、力入れ過ぎるとみなみらしくできないと言うかそのくらいが多分丁度いいんですみなみには( ´∀｀)
But I'm the one who understands myself the best, to put to much strength into it is not typical of me, so probably putting it that much should be just right for me ( ´∀｀)

それが結果的にやる気ないって言われるんですけどね笑
But then as a result I'll get told I don't have any eagerness huh (laugh)

こーゆう長いブログ書いたときやる気出たって言われるのも嫌だし笑
And don't tell me writing such long blog post shows my will (laugh)

どっちだよって感じですよね笑
Your feeling "Which one is it" don't you (laugh)

めんどくさいやつですけど見守っててくれたら嬉しいです笑
I'm a troublesome child but I'll be happy if you'll watch over me (laugh)


あとねー
Alsoー

17枚目でわちゃわちゃみなみに構ってくれてたみんながいなくて寂しい
During the 17th single, people wasn't concerning about me, it was

です
Lonely




とにかく！
Anyways!

頑張ります♫
I'll do my best♫




それから！！！
And then!!!

与田ちゃんと桃ちゃんダブルセンターおめでと〜♫
Congratulations to Yoda-chan and Momo-Chan for the double center〜♫

もういろいろ撮影とかはじまってるんだけど、休憩時間にもダンスの練習とかしててはじめてのことだらけでも一生懸命頑張ってて
There'll be various shootings starting, practice dancing even during breaks, there'll be a lot of first times, please do your best

いきなりでいろんな意見もあると思いますけど支えてあげたいし皆さんにもそうしてほしいなって思いました(о´∀`о)
There'll be a lot of views on you, but I'll be supporting you, and hope the fans would do the same(о´∀`о)

乃木坂の未来は明るい〜
The future is bright for Nogizaka〜

2人とも可愛くて仕方ありません笑
Both of them are cute I can't help it (laugh)


もうみなみもお姉さんです♫
I'm already an older sister♫

Spoiler

that was a long post, she must eager huh.. or not
anyway congrats on her returning to Fukujin! the girl is all grown up. yeah just do your thing and have fun and send happiness to the world (to me) like you always do. no need to mind what people think.

wonder why she felt so during the 17th. thought she got quite some opportunities/activities that would have fans talking about her. hope the 18th will be better for her

 

All threefold choice unit in fukujin! I still want to see more Hoshi in future fukujin. So, hoping for a leap for her
