Ishida Chiho (Chiho)

Chiho-chan has been promoted to be Charming Trip's leader. Congratulations!!

 

I thought she is already the leader after Torobu left

 

Chiho had a solo performance today for the theater reopening.
And it was anounced that she is transfered to the agency Wild planet, a subdivisiary of Twin planet. It is a département specialized in actors.

Chiho-chan's cheki session for the 5th single today was a marathon 4 hours-plus in length as orders for her signings initially sold out quickly and it was decided to reopen applications for a further period (credit to uploader):

I managed to get one in the first online sales window and it happened to be the first one she signed after the 2-hour mark (2:00:05 to 2:01:02 in the video above). She spent some time working out how to pronounce my name - not for the first time an idol has done that, and yet again it resulted in me falling even more in love! I got a nice 'thank you' from her in English but she only held up the cheki to the camera for a very brief moment - the slightly blurred screenshot below is the best I could manage:



She is just SO lovely and I enjoyed watching her while I was waiting for my signing to happen. The cheki pose looks very cute and I look forward to receiving it some time next month!

Yesterday Maru left for heaven. It was cute and kind of funny, and it loved everything and healed everyone. The time I spend with Maru is a treasure of my life. Thank you very much for coming to the Ishida family. And thank you to everyone who looked forward to Maru-san's videos and photos.

 

Coming soon: 2020/12/02

Didn't see this one coming at all, but very happy about it - Chiho is lovely and it's nice to see an STU girl get a photobook.

I was able to get another cheki from her, she signs it at 41:15 - 41:55 together with a 'Thank You' :

The range of clothes includes T-shirts with a caricature of her:

 

Some bad news to report:

Ishida Chiho to immediately suspend her activites from STU48 indefinitely, possibly due to health reasons
