OMG HINACHAN TONIGHT!!!! I’ve just come out from tonight’s 7 Prefectures show in Yamaguchi where I had a 5th row seat and was wearing a Hinachan badge. She soon spotted me in the performance and smiled at me. Then in the first MC she waved at me while others were speaking. Then in the second MC we exchanged a longer wave!! Then at the end she made a heart sign at me which I returned!!! And the best was yet to come! At the end the audience members walked past the girls with a high wave but everyone was being moved on very quickly by a shouty staff-san. As I reached Hinachan she shouted in English “Where are you from?” I was so surprised I just came out with “England - igirisu-jin - London!” She seemed to understand me and then I called out “See you at the Shamekai on Sunday!” but I’m not sure she understood that. But no matter, I was being moved on now by staff-san who to be fair had let me have a few seconds with her, so we waved goodbye. And yes I have a 2-shot ticket for Hinachan on Sunday in Yokohama. That is going to be FUN!!!
@David61 Since you were in Yamaguchi did you try out the Kawara soba or Fugu Sashimi?? Also idk if you have time but you should totally do a pilgrimage to the spot where Hinachan sprinted in the Setouchi no Koe MV http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?...cations-and-tourism.18924/page-2#post-1331155
I would have loved to have gone to that place in the MV. Actually my first plan was to stay in Okayama but when the Yamaguchi concerts came up this week I moved my base fiurther west. However I did visit the Iwakuni Bridge which Hinachan visits in the Yamaguchi documentary in whatever type it is of Kurayami.
Kintai Bridge eh Niceeeeee! You should yell this when you get the chance. It's the new fad now. https://twitter.com/hinachan_0221/status/992388623231209472 Spoiler ULTIMATE SUKINASOOOOOOOO!!
I’ve just had my 2-shot with the very lovely Hinachan! I wondered if she might have been surprised to see me when I entered her booth, however I think she might have spotted me while I was still a couple of places back in the queue. Anyway she definitely remembered me from the concert and she was very lovely and welcoming. The only problem was that she started talking to me in Japanese and I just couldn’t understand her. After the photo I said ‘Yamaguchi segoi!” and we shook hands. We had a long goodbye as I left the booth and she made a heart pose. Her line was rather longer than I expected and I certainly wasn’t the only person there wearing her badge. I think she has a good chance of getting a rank in SSK, hopefully the people of Setouchi will get behind her and vote many times for her!
^ Even despite your language shortcomings, I think you are making a certain mario-san more and more jealous
I'm already passed that stage as a veteran Hinachan fan XD Didn't I mention I will go to Japan too in this June to meet Hinachan too lol She went for the mature look The girl is still 15 and probably haven't been studying English much so it's not that surprising. I was more surprised when she spoke to you in English in the send off after the Yamaguchi stage tour. But this is one of the best fishing master we are talking about, so then again just as expected of her for godlike treatment haha. And yeah I believe Hinachan does have a strong chance to get in top 100. I just hope more DD fans will put in a vote for her.
Go mar, dont left David beat u again lol, if u meet piyo Just say hello from me hahahaha Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
So far I know there are a lot of Chinese, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Viet and Thai fans of her recently active on twitter. A bunch of Keya, Nogi fans converted into STU fans as well because of Hinachan. Local Yamaguchi fans are becoming h-core as well as even the female Yamaguchi news caster is a big fan of Hinachan lol as she randomly shouts her catchphrase in the promo corner haha ======================================== Also idk how many of you guys watched the final tour in Yamaguchi but Hinachan was having amazing chemistry with Kanon in it https://twitter.com/ming_hk1983/status/995197373906280449 Recently they became really close friends because of the Imousu challenge in Kagawa and sharing the center stage of this tour. And even the same hotel room.
And I just realized for the first time ever in STU group history Hinachan is actually leading in hs sales other than Yumirin (even just for now) Spoiler: Taken from the Single thread 1st Gen 10/20 (- 01) Iwata Hina 09/32 (+03) Yabushita Fuu 09/20 (- 09) Ishida Chiho 06/20 (+02) Imamura Mitsuki 04/20 (+02) Tanaka Kouko 03/36 (- 33) Takino Yumiko 03/20 (+01) Ishida Minami 03/20 (+00) Isogai Kanon 03/20 (- 01) Ichioka Ayumi 03/13 (+00) Sano Haruka 02/18 (+00) Torobu Yuri 02/17 (+01) Fukuda Akari 02/08 (+01) Kadota Momona 01/17 (+00) Mori Kaho 01/13 (+01) Kai Kokoa 01/07 (+00) Hyodo Aoi 00/18 (+00) Kadowaki Miyuna 00/18 (+00) Fujiwara Azusa 00/17 (+00) Yano Honoka 00/07 (- 01) Taniguchi Mahina 00/07 (+00) Otani Marina 00/07 (+00) Sakaki Miyu 00/07 (+00) Shioi Hinako 00/07 (+00) Shintani Nonoka 00/07 (+00) Sugahara Saki 00/07 (+00) Mishima Haruka 00/07 (+00) Mineyoshi Arisa 00/07 (+00) Morishita Maiha D3 04/14 (- 06) Oki Yuka 01/13 (+00) Nakamura Mai 00/07 (+00) Shinano Soraha 00/07 (+00) Mizoguchi Aiko 00/07 (+00) Yura Akari
[Updates] You have no idea how long I've waited for this day Also another show I've waited for almost a year already is the Chirimen Party radio show which it is still only her 2nd appearance Some random Hinachan clips I've been getting lately on my twitter feed https://twitter.com/ming_hk1983/status/995197373906280449 https://twitter.com/taka_road31/status/997144818886180864 https://twitter.com/pandaaance/status/997464117022633984 And also someone drew this puffer fish pose fan art A very kind lad on this forum shared the SSK guide book page with Hinachan to me and so I'm posting it here Spoiler: Translate From sub-title: The young ace who holds a firm idol image STU48 Iwata Hina (Hinachan) 15 Slogan: To the starting line - AKB48G young senbatsu - Her favorite food on the official blog is Strawberry and Hormones - Her goal is to grow taller - "Even though I've been getting relied more on being the center...but I've been always wondering if it is okay to be there. I want to appear in the sousenkyo as confident to what my result(ranking) will be." -I want to be like "The idol" like Watanabe Mayu in her old days. I usually carry a firm idol image, and I won't be shaken. Ranking Goal: 100 | "I would first like to stand on the starting line" Hinachan's SSK poster slogan "Believe in myself". Nice smile and very clear message to her fans. And I also found this on twitter which is the other page on top 100 No translate for this unless a lot of people requesting it (cuz it's basically the same content as the short points above, but just in complete sentences of her own words.) ================================================ To end the post with a bigger announcement. The Hinachan SSK Committee is doing an appeal campaign called #岩田陽菜1人1票1万人プロジェクト "Iwata Hina 1 person 1 vote ten thousand people project" The goal in this year is that we would like to push Hinachan at least 10,000 votes which is the minimum requirement of getting the entry level rank (80~100). And thus helping her goal to start on standing on the starting line as a foot hold. To do that we need your vote! Even if it is just one vote, it means a lot to Hinachan! Also if you want to take part in this campaign, you can use the hashtag above and post a Hinachan image and add your own slogan or comment in it to show your support. English or any language is fine too! These are the following examples Here is our official twitter: https://twitter.com/hinapiyo_senkyo Spoiler I'll be releasing something even better soon. Please stay tuned!
