Can we get her in a Hashire Penguin outfit?

 

Dreaming is free

 

Yooo~
It's been a very long time since the last time I came to Stage48 (since Maimai's graduation). But anyway, that's not important at all.
I was thinking about Koike (and Keyaki), and while I was thinking, it came to me the idea of start a convo to share our hopes and predictions for Koike, especially thinking about 4th single and what would come to her in 2017.

Personally, I'm very grateful about "Futari Saison", since Koike was lined up in the first row, it gave her the opportunity to shine more and to also became a more reliable as a powerful and recognizable member inside the group. The 3rd single was also (in my opinion) the impulse Koike needed to be more relevant for the casual and the "old" fans of the group. Since debut days to date we've been able to see the grow of Koike in terms of variety shows, HS sales and magazine appearances, and with that I can imagine she already has a strong fan base inside the fandom.

With that, for the next single I don't expect her as a part of the front row. I believe she'll be placed in the second row, alongside with Aoi, Miyu and Shiichan (not sure who else could be there yet). I wouldn't consider it a bad movement, though, that way she'll be able to experience the work and duties of the three rows (two times in the third, one in the first, and one in the second row).
On the other hand, the last months of 2016 were very good for Koike, and this year is going pretty good too, and I'm confident in that this year will be also good for her. I'm also confident in Koike becoming part of the most relevant members inside the group (at least inside top 7). Finally, I hope (and I dream lol) that someday, staff creates a unit including Koike, Aoi, Nanako and someone else and give them a song together , but I'm not sure at about it, at all. Lol.

Sorry for this loooong comment, and also sorry if I sound too biased~ .

PD: I decided to post this here (and not in the general thread of predictions) since I wanted to focus our comments in Koike :3
PD: Feel free to share, comment and debate!

 

@abltrnc It's a forum, I am pretty sure you are supposed to have relatively long posts (as opposed to short things like "lol" and "how cute!".

As for Miichan, I hope more of what she likes in men is revealed (and for other members too). It's weird to see her and Sugai apparently having an M side to them.

I think Ozeki could work as the other person in the unit (if it is supposed to have the more innocent/cute members).

 

I saw a HS report of Koike yesterday. The fan asked her what her goals are for 2017, and she said she wanted to become an actress and she's aiming for center position. This is great, seeing other members starting to aim for center position

 

My main wish/dream to see is for a Koike and Nanako W-center.

I also hope she'll be able to shine more and people see her charm.

 

If they keep Koike in either 1/2 position, maybe they'll shift her to the center's left for the fourth single. Otherwise, they'll probably move her a bit further to the sides, but they'll keep her in the front row again. I don't think they'll drop her to second row just yet.

 

Competitive spirit is showing up. Good to know that she wants to become an actress /o/

And yeah, I hope they don't let her in the second row yet, but it's just a feeling =w=

 

Found an interesting HS report today, i liked the tweet and it's hard to dig around my Likes but i promise i'll credit the fan one day

か「メリークリスマス♪」 "Merry Christmas!"
小「めり…遅いわ！！」 "Merry- Oi that's too late!"
か「あ…」"Ah..."
小「ねえねえ、クイズです。今年の紅白どっちが勝った？」"Hey hey, quiz time. Who won this year's Kouhaku?"
か「え？紅組」"Eh? Red team?"

小池クソ馬鹿にした顔で Koike showing smug face

小「今年はまだやってませ～ん！」"Kouhaku is not even started yet! (this year / 2017)"
か「あああああああああ」 "AAAAA"

Comment from the fan: "I've been played at"

 

troll'd by the master penguin.
i bet her smug face looks like :3.

 

Found the Twitter~ @keyaki46koike46

And i found other reports too! the fan entered and said "Minami sukiya de~" in Kansai ben but turns out the way he said it was wrong. He commented that kansai ben is hard and then Koike teached him how to speak it in proper Kansai dialect with her fingers

小「す↑き↑や↓で↑
か「す↑き↑や↓で↑」

Then the two of them did it together

二人「す↑き↑や↓で↑」

Fan: "Do you want to see my treasure?"
Took out his instant camera (チェキ is instant camera, at least according to Google)
Koike: "Wow, awesome!"
Fan: "Don't touch my treasure"
Koike: "I~yei!" She rapidly touch my camera
Fan: "Stop, hold it!"
Koike: "I~yei!" Not stopping
Fan: "Stop it... *crying emoji*"

Can't be helped, he pretty much asking for it lol

 

Fascinating to hear about her M side coming out in this way. We saw it before on KeyaKake when she was offended at people making fun of Kansai-ben and had such a stern face and more or less cursed at them. She reminds me of a friend of mine: so sweet, except for sometimes, lol.

 

don't know why, but i found out from the latest keyakitte that koike is undeniably cute.
Her smile though,

 

So in yesterday HS event, there was Koike's birthday ceremony

Koike had a short comedy skit with Aoi, fans are saying that the two of them are really cute but the skit itself was bad (I read the report, it is horrible lol). Aoi also the one who writes letter to Koike, there should be a report of it in a matome site somewhere.

 

loving these two pair hope I can see more in the future hehe

 

Koike's smile
"This smile is her charm point"
"Seeing this smile makes you feel like you will be fine even after everything that happened."
"Just seeing this smile makes me want to do my best tomorrow. Thank you, Miichan."

I agree. Her smile and her eyes when she smiles are the best :'3

 

Spoiler: Koike Minami 2017.02.07 blog entry

I wanna meet Ms.Harada too。

everyone, good evening I want to meet harada aoi as quickly as possible
**(koike does a word play of (こんばんはらだあおい)konbanwa(ha)~rada aoi a word play of good evening combined with harada aoi's name which is impossible to translate exactly into an english sentance lol, she used it before this too)**


Even today, thank you for the whole day's hard work and efforts.

Today, I had a dream where while I was feeding my virtual pet penguin..

「In order for your pet penguin to not grow any further, the game will reset」

↑ ↑ that notification was suddenly displayed and it reset the game.

I seriously cried during that dream…

the instant moment I woke up, while I was still in a daze between reality and dreaming,
I frantically opened up my game to check up on my penguin

and then I found that the game was not reset and the penguin was right there all cheerful and trotting around happily
I was so relieved☺︎

I hope that dream will never turn into reality。


well then well then。





a frontal picture。

alright, time for bed。

Tomorrow too, Do your best alright。
