Kato Minami (Katomina) / 1st Generation

From 03 Nov HS event, courtesy @Cisalpine88 : NGT's section of a wall where members posted recipes they turn to when discouraged...

Katomina's 'Gapao Lunch' -- looks very much like an athlete's lean & mean meal, in athlete portions. Clean and simple and natural.

 

Katomina will be apart of the November 23rd Mini Handshake Event (For the 2nd Single) in Sapporo (Along with Rie and Ayutarou)

I don't drink Coffee but I enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino from Starbucks haha
Generally, I really like seasonal drinks of autumn and winter, and anything Pumpkin and Gingerbread spice I will buy even though I hate "normal" coffee with a passion

 

^ LOL are you from Vienna, @bonjourmarlene ? If so... I envy the amazing food choices you're looking past, in favor of Starbucks

Spoiler

I used to repair/install/adjust La San Marco, Brasilia, Rancilio, and Schaerer espresso machines for a small Scottsdale, AZ company back in the early Y2Ks... got *perfect* espresso every morning... and unfortunately, worked my way up to about 20-30 long shots a day, which killed my liver. So I'm off coffee... but it still tempts me to smell perfect, tiger-striped espresso in a perfectly-adjusted machine. Complex, sweet, stunning stuff. Starbucks espresso is middling at best, overroasted overmarketed swill at worst; I drink their iced green tea now.

But I don't begrudge anyone who like the foofy drinks... they sell like mad, they're consistent across the country, and they have their adherents... esp in autumn.

Spoiler

If you get a chance... try a Starbucks in Japan. It's held to a much-higher standard than in Europe or the US. I hear the Italian one that just opened is (obviously) tippy-top as well.

Anyhow... if one reason Katomina's traits are the way they are is staying off caffeine... I can almost endorse her emnity towards dark-colored drinks as 'not for drinking'

 

Spoiler

No I'm about four to five hours away from Vienna. Seeing as Austria is a very tiny country, though, I think the food choices are rather similar overall.
But it's not like I drink it a lot haha - maybe once every two or three months

 

Sooo, i hope it's not annoying that i'm asking, but when's the next part of that interview translation coming out?? :'))

Ok, so yeah: katomina didn't get first row on Sekai wa ;w; she barely appears on the previews of the MV i'm dead https://twitter.com/keyaaaanogi/status/927629545506607104

 

Well, at least she looks adorable the few moments she gets. :')

Oh nono, not at all The interview had only two parts; they were in two separate posts a page or so back. There were other athletes\geinin interviewed for the articles, Katomina was only one of them.

 

Whoops, thanks for telling me xD guess i'll go re-read it now :3

Sekai wa Doko made aozora na no ka MV (We do get some good Katomina spots in the MV)

if the video does not show watch the video here

Thoughts
While it's a nice MV (OgiYuka was pretty damn awesome in it and showed that she is a damn good center), I am disappointed about how much screen time she got (Pisses me off that the Yukirin Kennin screws over MORE members as Katomina was one of them imo along with Gatanee and Mahohon)

So I guess this means she has a chance at centering the 3rd Single lol? (OgiYuka got screwed in the 1st Single and she is centering this single).

Anyways, Some screenshots of her in the MV


Katomina Showroom (17-11-06)

Plus she is apart of the Tokyo Sports Series (No Idea what this is) called "Okose! Niigata Senpuu NGT48 Iza Zenkoku" that is out today.

Save all those screenshots lol And yeah Yukirin is one of my akb oshis, but i really wish they prioritized Ngt's actual members over one that is barely around I feel bad for katomina, gatanee, mahohon and kadochan, who got very little screentime (
And amen for the 3° single center LOL
And is it just me or she seems kinda low key on that showroom? Her eyes also look puffy
And katomina looks so cute with the tree And I'm really curious about what that tokyo sports series is going to be!!!

 

^ I love Katomina's hair down in front of her ears... and she looked great in the MV (of course way too little screen time ).

 

Considering her status in NGT when they started out, i hope to god they don't see her as a failed push. She was upfront for quite some time after all, but how can we bring back those days...? Yeah, Sousenkyo next year would be a chance, but seeing the fanatic huge fanbases the other NGT members have, i'm not afraid to admit i'm a little scared... or somehow we have a Sasshi incident, where some rich guy suddenly becomes Katomina fan. :') oh man... i want her to become center so badly though. And the comments section on the new mv tell me i'm not the only one. So let's keep our hope high~

they gave up on her push too quickly

 

I don't think she 'failed' or they gave up on her. Yeah on the Aside MV the situation is BAD, but katomina got a bside wcenter, and she still gets a lot of jobs outside of ngt, not to mention she is still a really big deal on the stages. I don't think we have to get despaired yet lol
But i want to start a #justiceforkatomina tag cause MY NUGGET DESERVES BETTER

 

Yes speaking of jobs....THAT BLT SHOOT. I NEED IT NOW. RIGHT NOW. OMG.
That b-side she got, won't have a mv though... ;--; but hey, it's a nice song anyway~
YESSSSSSS #justiceforkatomina!!!!
(let's spam anything NGT-related with that tag *grin* :^)) they will learn...muhahaha)

Agree, she is still one of the Top 5 Members in NGT48 imo (Even though after OgiYuka who is 1st right now, I don't know where you would put her cause I feel she is treated as 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and or even 5th).

and #justiceforkatomina should be our motto for the 2018 SSK.

 

I'm going to make a NGT hapii for sousenkyo next year, perhaps i'll paint #justiceforkatomina on the back lololol

 

You just need to use cash to be heard by management.
