Kojima Mako (Kojimako) / 14th Generation

Upcoming:

Thumbnail stage today Aug 21, but will miss Team K stage on Aug 23 (back on Aug 24). The reason she will miss on Aug 23 (I am guessing) is that she will be on ANN with Miion, Tomu, and Renacchi to reveal the full recording of Sentimental Train as well as the Under Girls (Mako) and Next Girls (Renacchi) songs.

"Sentimental train" is a song that received "AKB48 53rd single world general election" held at Nagoya Dome in June. It was the short ver. That we showed up on television song programs so far, for the first time the whole picture becomes clear.

Also, the songs of the Under Girls Next Girls (unpublished title) recorded as couplings are also OA for the first time on this day."

BTW, Mako wrote a blog post on her orthodontics. Apparently what we have guessed last year was all wrong. It seems that she decided by herself because she want to have an even more beautiful smile. She also seems to pay by herself. (Though I am sure her salary is much, much more than what we would normally assume) And it's not Invisialign, it's a lingual brace.

Regarding mer, from mer's IG Story yesterday, it seems that she will be on inner cover.

and Mako's reply:
I was eaten

 

The text of Mako's tweet includes 新内さんに久しぶりに会えたらタイの匂いがするお箸くれたよ〜
https://twitter.com/mak0_k0jima/status/1032334861648838656

I agree with darkcaedus that 新内さん is 新内 眞衣 Shinuchi Mai
http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Shinuchi_Mai

Also, one of the replies to Mako's tweet gave her full name:

真子さんは新内真依さんと仲良しか
Mako is a good friend with Shinuchi Mai

Yep. This is supposedly information that is almost never translated to English. If Mako goes on ANN, she will always visit Shinuchi Mai ANN0 afterward. Always. The only exception was when Shinuchi was doing live from Thailand but she still went to that studio and was surprised to see no one there lol. You can also check ANN0 stream (available at the usual place) It's almost always in the first 10 minutes of the broadcast.

 

Undergirls song, short version (ForrestFuller posted it in Kaotan's thread).


if the video does not show watch the video here

She gets lots of screen time as she was just behind Kaotan and Churi in the SSK.

It also seems she was watching the Nekkoya performance at the handshake (but I am not positive, as the cameraman only panned to the back of the AKB48 members watching once.)

Makochan and Chori had a conversation on instaststory

 

I think Mako is right. "I will have lots of mails tomorrow" The picture is stunning.

She also celebrated her instagram followers in her instastory. As I understand it, she gained another 1000 [correction: 10,000 as innosu points out. I know that 万 is10,000 from Chinese; my bad] in the last two weeks.



Personal note: most of my translations come from google. Some come from some knowledge of Chinese. While 2週間前 is not how you would say 2 weeks ago in Chinese, the characters are week, time, before, so 2 weeks ago seemed an obvious translation of the Kanji.

 

Translation of the above two posts:

(Mako and Chiyori)
Chiyori: Mako-chan clothes is very cute. If you no longer need any please give them to me.
Mako: Chiyo-san! lol If you are okay with my clothes... But let say, why don't we go shopping together?
Chiyori: Even as a girl, my heart sure get a thrill. If I were a body I would surely fall in love with you. I will definitely become a regular costumer if you were to produce your own line of clothes.
Mako: Wait, Chiyo-san. Why suddenly very kind words. I am too happy now.

Regarding the tweet, your translation is correct. However, I think she just mention it because Mako hasn't sent any mail since the 25th. (Normal rule is at least 1 per three days -- at least that is what written when you register for the mail). And the regular topic that should be cover -- the MV -- hasn't been sent.

And lastly, no: 万 is ten thousands; she gained 10 thousands more followers in past two weeks. (Japanese and Chinese count number 4 digits at a time, instead of 3 like English)

---
I think today is just that she just realised she hadn't been updating her SNS well past few days lol.

 

I actually translated this 12 pages ago. Maybe I really should start having some twitter account to post all my English translations I posted here, but since I am already managing Thai Fanclub Facebook/Twitter, I think I just won't have enough time. Sigh.

Added from her instastory: Back in Korea for the end of P48? (I can't read a word)

 

Now it is pancakes with Una. They both posted a lot of pics; here are three (you can see more at their two instagrams).

Still eating. This time with Yuihan, who posted
"Walk with lunch with my favorite Makoji"

Mako posted her own picture of her outfit.
"Today's plain clothes ☁️
Cap took it ❤ ︎ [I assume she meant that Yuihan took the picture]
It was fun for lunch ~ っ "

I'm going to come right out and say it (and I might have said it before) .... she looks different (and I would guess it's since she came back from P48)
And no, I'm not implying it's cosmetic surgery ( because, I know, Korea, cosmetic surgery ... yada yada, but there is still something different, maybe she got her overbite fixed?

btw, different doesn't equal worse

for example ... in the top left pic i can instantly recognise her ... but the top right ... not so much ... well, to be honest not at all
