After watching the performance during the Shinzanmono live at Theater Milano-za, I realized how I really like Kishi-kun... I think she is climbing all the way to take a position beside 524773 as my 3rd gen oshi. I just pray she returns soon, strong, genki and full of energy able to catch-up.
Sadly Honoka has announced that her poor health has forced her to withdraw from activity and leave the group: https://www.hinatazaka46.com/s/official/news/detail/O00212 Her blog today: https://www.hinatazaka46.com/s/official/diary/detail/53804
Nooooooooo... There is something I don't like here... I had a very bad feeling about that, that's why I was anxious to learn more. I usually don't do that in cases of hiatuses but for Kishi, there was something that ticked me wrong... Such a pity for this strange but so cute and interesting child. I wish her all the happiness in the world and for all those moments of pure joy that she offered to us so handsomely... God bless you Kishi-kun... Stay healthy and happy and good luck to everything that you do!
Damn!!! I was happy when I saw her photo from HinaToshokan. I thought she will return soon. Farewell, Kishikun. I wish you for the best.
Darn. I hope she finds a bright future ahead. I wish her all the happiness in the world. I also hope she gets to say farewell on Hina-mashou...
Yoko in her latest blog post said that she and other 4ki members didn't know about Kishikun withdrawal until recently. I think it was management and Kishikun decision, so it wouldn't stress out 4ki members in the middle of Shinzanmono concert. It make me sad when I saw 4ki members always scream Kishikun's name during enjin in that concert, especially Rio who lead the enjin. They always think she will return, but the reality is different. Also, I believe Yoko might be 4ki members that get shocked the most, because she is really close to Kishikun. Some haters fans from other group accused that Kishikun was not happy and mentally burdened with the situation within Hinatazaka in general, and especially among 4ki. That is so wrong. I think it is physically hard for her body. As Manamo said, being Hinatazaka members is similar to an athlete. I also believe Kishikun have a great time in Hinatazaka. Otherwise, she wouldn't: Unconsciously eat her souvenir snack that was suppossed to give to members as New Year presents, Eat 15 packs of Mintia candy at Kirarin's house within 3 minutes Kirarin left her living room, And, of course, had a fun fishing trip with Yoko and made a (fish) bloodbath at Yoko house. That will always be a precious memories and happy moments that she never forget forever. Of course, Ohisama will also never forget her too. Even though it is only a year, she become one of the most unforgettable members of Hinatazaka. Once again, farewell Kishikun.
It's a shame, she was really starting to mature as a member of the group and she definitely always seemed grateful to be an idol. Definitely a wholesome member who I'll definitely miss.
"443 Days" Kishi Honoka fanmade Documentary. if the video does not show watch the video here Credit to uploader Spoiler Great documentary video that show a short, yet amazing journey of Kishi-kun as Hinatazaka46 member. Too bad it has no subtitle, but if you understand Japanese, this video has many important things to learn about Kishi-kun, including Kagechan role in her effort to rise and move forward. Mikunin comments also was important as she explain Idol world reality.
