    What's an Utena?

    I agree 'bout Hiragana PPs... was it really hard for them to assemble just one day and taking photos :eek:

    I think they're trying to make a brand contrast between Kanji and Hiragana, but yeah, they might have overdone hiragana's profile pic.
    So I think since Kaze ni (or since they got so much money from the single sales), they started to make many types of outfit for each releases.

    It's a Manga/Anime :chuffed: and they had similar uniforms (sort of), with different colors though, and those flowers during duels....

    Noujo Ami played - or is still playing, I'm not sure - the protagonist, Utena in the Musical Stage Play

    Love the profile pictures! Both the Kanji ones and the Hiragana ones tbh.

    I like that they differentiated that much between Kanji and Hiragana, since Hiragana has specifically said they are going for a different vibe than Kanji. And as a super fan of frilly OTT clothes, Hiraganas costume attracts me more than Kanjis <3

    But everyone in the background seems to be holding the same colors, lol.
    Maybe the director is Zuumin oshi

    I've updated the profile pics on my K46 Members Chart (also updated ages, and rows in 6th release).

    First thought: Kanjis are too dark, Hiraganas are too Utena (sweet military oversize - Revolutionary Girl Utena is a 1996 manga and a 1997 anime).
    Second thought: I love them.
    Third thought: Memi looks great again.
    Fourth thought: I don't mind, but Hirate maintaining the contrasting red is really emphasizing her prominence.
    Fifth thought: The serious, uncertain, but dangerous Monta.
    Sixth thought: Is that you, Manamo? Dyed your hair?
    Seventh thought: Actually, all of them look good. Mii-Pan looks oddly serious but good. Hina-chan is still learning how to pose, and looks scared/angry, like Toshi used to. Sugai is a bit hard to recognize. Manaka is great, really Manaka.

    Large-size versions of the photos here.

    I just notice that these jackets are Reversible Jackets. So Techi's jacket is the same as other members.

    It is basically a MA-1 knock off. The original alphas have a orange lining. The idea behind it was, if your aircraft got downed, you can reverse the jacket inside out, so rescue teams can spot yous. Actually I am wondering if it is made by alpha industries for kyz46, some kind of special edition.

    Kanji's outfit seems to be based on real uniforms, as usual. Hiragana... no idea but i think people like it(?). It actually reminds me off those circus ringmasters.

    Thanks I didn't know anything about the jackets. I doubt a big company as Sony used knockoff MA-1 jackets. I think Alpha Industries was involved in it.

    MA-1 is not limited or owned by alpha industries (but it's true that alpha industries and rothco are the first to commercialised it), it's just a term/type for for flight jacket used by us airforce.. even big retailer like uniqlo have their own MA-1

    so there's no such thing as knock-off, if you want the "realest" one, you can get it by joining air force :D

    what's wrong with monta? I've been watching keyakake. is he infected with techi virus or what? I'm sure there will be other members infected by techi virus (i see shiorin vulnerable when I see the valentine greeting video). i hope the group and members are fine.

    -Techi is Keyakizaka46 and Keyakizaka46 is Techi-

    Technically Alpha (or dobbs) was the supplier to the US army/DOD back then. Alphas has the unique red tag (remove before flight) on their flight jackets, in this case it reads keyakizaka46. I do not think any other makers have the red tag on their copies. That is why I think it could be made by alpha.
    When I first saw hirate wearing the emergency side, I was wondering if the costume designers or management were playing a prank on her (asking for help)

    They are changing the expectation of an idol group, sometimes it's easy to confuse the big groups because they all have these similar 'palette' I know the hardcore fans will be able to break down each of the concept better, but for the not so hardcore fans like me, keyaki really stood out from the rest. I like where they're going and will continue to support them.

    No it not. These jacket are custom made. I don't think Keyakizaka gives Alpha Industries a free promotion of its current products. Just imagine how many of Keyakizaka fans want to buy these jackets if it were available.

    Well, it wouldn't be unprecedented considering they did just that with Techi's hoodie in Hiraishin.

    I don't know either way if it's custom or not. But I somewhat recently remember reading something(probably on this board) pointing out how similar some of Nogi's uniforms have been to high fashion designs from Europe. To the point where some people were assuming they might have actually had the designers make the uniforms, else it would be a bit sketchy to copy the design so much.
