You know this was going to happen today. Nogizaka official twitter sending out each member's personal album cover for the Time Flies album. Miyurin's: https://twitter.com/nogizaka46/status/1454350059928051712?s=20 Uhh. The two in front are blocking Miyu... Down in front!!
Tsu is they way they pronounce Tu, just like Chi is how they pronounce Ti Manatsu is Manatu, ramen is lamen, the 25th single Shiawase no Hogoshoku is officially romanized as "Hogosyoku" Romaji isn't a language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization#Japanese
Meet & Greet Report So, I know I’ve said I try to only post my experiences if I think they’re particularly notable (and even then my posts are still kinda boring) but I’ll be self-indulgent and post this one anyway. Sorry! I log in, get verified 15 minutes before the slot starts and see that I’m fifth in line with only about a two minute wait once it kicks off. I’m feeling good about everything. Then it hits me, I only used four tickets instead of the six I had. Did I really want to line back up again later? Oh well… The slot starts very shortly after the listed start time, so I’m still feeling positive. It’s my turn before I know it, and my camera is showing but Miyu’s is completely black. We can hear each other at the start just a mutual “hajimemashite”, so I decide I’ll hold that L and not waste time saying I can’t see anything. I get into what I wanted to say and then… silence. At this point I don’t know if she could still hear me but I just couldn’t hear her, but my camera was still showing and the call was still “connected” so I just explained that I couldn’t see or hear her but it was nice to meet her anyway lol. I checked Twitter to see if people were tweeting about technical issues, but the hashtag was full of people happily relaying stories of their successful calls. I had tickets for Runa as well(second time meeting her), so I tried those, expecting another black screen and audio issues. To my surprise, it was a flawless connection which caught me off-guard and made me forget what I wanted to say for a bit. It’s still always great meeting her, though. As I was about to log off ol’ Fortune Meets for the night, it hit me… I still had those two leftover tickets. Just as the meguri gods had cursed me with a bad connection on that call, they blessed me with the forgetfulness to inadvertently leave two tickets remaining. I lined up and sure enough, this time we could see and hear each other! Now, for those who don’t know, two tickets gives you very little time which is why I would have been hesitant to line up again if our first call had been a success. With that in mind, I launched right into explaining how I couldn’t see or hear her earlier and she said the same thing happened to her, that she could hear me at first and then couldn’t. She was making an exaggerated “pien” type voice and apologized, which was very funny. Like a combination of burikko/fishing and going for comedy at the same time. I guess it’s kinda hard to explain, but it’s like she was telling a traumatic story or something. Then we -very- quickly re-did our intros that were lost to technical difficulties on the first call and then “bye bye.” Very high energy call. It was interesting because the shared experience of the technical difficulties earlier made the second call feel very “natural” in a way these often don’t for me, due to nerves, the language barrier and having to essentially prepare something to say/ask so I don’t waste time. I’ll need to meet her again so I can say what I wanted to say and test her English ability next time!
