    Just to straighten up the news going around underground:
    Hotechan is rumored to have worked as ConCafe girl before joining AKB48, around 2020 to 2021.
    ConCafe is short for Concept Cafe that is common in Japan, Maid Cafe is one of the most popular version of this.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Now, it's an open and legal job, High Schoolers all over Japan commonly work in those cafes as part-timers.
    You don't have to drink alcohol there, under-20 can work there legally too.

    It's just that, if true, Hotechan is a bit more experienced in this idol business and has potential to be a good fisher?!:blush: (whenever handshakes resume)
    Of course Hotechan isn't supposed to say anything about her past, so getting rumors like this might hurt her a bit.

    And she also missed her scheduled 17:30~18:30 SHOWROOM today.:(
    I guess the managers decided to not let her stream for a while, so she doesn't have to deal with the random questions until those certain people move on from this topic.

    Why are you interested in someone's past anyway? Go look at the cute present Hotechan photos below :gavel:
    [HIDE]
    Really? You have nothing better to do? Nothing interesting here, you know. :|
    [HIDE]
    Were you expecting anything? It's just allegedly her past experience working in a Concept Cafe. Nothing big at all.
    It's more surprising why it only comes out now. Should be easy to see from the Bromides that were sold.

    A little late but Happy Birthday Hotechan! <3 I'm surprised that she is 18 years old, she looks a bit younger lol. She looks cute on the picture shared by Mouri-san! I actually quite like her, especially when I saw the KKS theater performance. She is the most "cute" member (in her looks/image) in 17th gen, even her voice ^^ Hopefully we'll see more of her in the next year!

    Hotechan went to the famous Negishi Restaurant for the first time with Yukitan, and it was so delicious she ate a lot.
    Speaking of eating a lot, she confesses that she has gain weight! :eek:
    She only has weight measuring device in her Hyogo hometown, so when she went back and tried it out, she has gained 3kg since her AKB audition!
    Therefore she is aiming to lower it by 4kg, at least until she goes back home again.
    Confessing it to the fans is to help motivate herself to do it.
    >Fans pointed out that it might be the formed muscles from the dance lessons that weight more.
    She says she's planning to build muscles by summer next year, so she can proudly go to pool with Mizumin, showing off her muscles and swimming suit! [hehe]

    Hotechan went home to Hyogo for New Year.
    Leaving Mizumin alone in the share house, she said. That means Erichan also went home.

    Here's hoping for another great year for Hotechan!
    May she find her stride in 2023, catching up with her gen mates.

    Hotechan is at her home, so she's exploring her manga collection + some new ones.
    Proudly sharing with the viewers since it's the new year.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Her taste is... pretty unique, I say.
    She doesn't like "ghostly" horror mangas, but she really likes the "guro" (bizzare, gory) mangas. :awesome:
    Hyoryuu Kyoushitsu, Parasyte, Minotaur's Plate, [Kami no Hidarite, Akuma no Migite], Mahou Shojo Site, she knows them all.:shocku:
    Of course her #1 manga is Chainsaw Man.

    She also likes the more "normal" ones like Takopi's Original Sin, Merry Bad End, Kuzu no Honkai, and some Doraemon long stories
    In fact, her close #2 manga is Oshi no Ko! (she's looking forward to the upcoming anime)
    Those are cute but also kinda have dark background stories. :shock:

    All in all it's quite a huge gap from her cute looks!
    Fans are pushing her to be good friends with Mahopyon and Satomina, but seems like they have their own tastes lol.
    I'm happy that I share same taste in manga with her! (got some good suggestions from her showcases :))


    from 1:02:33 the fans asked if she could read Yojijukugo (words with 4 kanji characters), and Hotechan was feeling underestimated and actually told the audience to challenge her.
    She only mostly got the food-related ones. :^^;: I found her trying hard here funny and cute.<3

    @rmn89 I thought exactly the same since the very first time I saw her (that time I didn't had an account here). For me, she looks like an almost perfect mix of Acchan and Yuiri. But she does resemble Acchan much more.

    Yes I agree! and I thought the same when I watched the 17th gen KKS stage, I actually said something about it in the thread about the stage here; "Speaking of Acchan, when I saw Hotechan in this unit, I thought she looks like Acchan when she was young, it's probably her eyes!", I said the eyes but it's more than that, the smile too. This could explain why I love Hotechan's smile lol (and how I'm liking her more and more too). I'm a big fan of Acchan and I always loved her smile. They're similar!

    Girl dropped her wallet and didn't know what to do anymore, she started SHOWROOM instead. :^^;:
    https://twitter.com/moka_hotei1201/status/1633064131388645379


    if the video does not show watch the video here
    Seriously though she lost her wallet with quite an amount 13000 yen and her bank cards/student cards/personal details.:(
    Hence she can't even pull money from ATM. She only has about 2000 yen left on her e-money transport card :(
    Tried to call police but it was always busy she ended up doing SHOWROOM instead.
    And she lost it after buying some Hatsune Miku goods at ISETAN and holding back from not using all the money too.
    Also she can't join tomorrow Miku goods lottery too (???) :^^;:

    Luckily Nonchan was with her when she realized it was gone.
    Comments also said that it's Japan, so high chance of it gets returned.
    Masaru's bike hasn't been returned though...
    EDIT:Watched the full showroom, apparently Masaru's bike was returned? finding more info...

    Did Hote-chan changed her catchphrase??
    I was catching up on the theater performances and I noticed she said something like:
    "Sweeter than Macarons? Mokarons"
