Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

Apart from that, what is it that attracts borderline creepy guys to Miichan, remember that bass player that basically stalked her while she was 16 or so.
And there were persistent rumours about a very rich IT guy being very interested in Miichan.

And then there was that time bunshun tried to link Miichan to a fraudster as they were seen chatting at a party.

Btw, I have no idea about this guy, but being, self proclaimed, madly in love with Miichan for 6 years or so? that's kinda weird.

to be honest, call me old fashioned, but I'd like her to find just a steady normal guy, not some flashy celebrity
(not that I should have any say in the matter of course )


to be honest, what's also disconcerting is that bunshun cites an unknown source who claimed to have frequently stayed over at Miichan's ....
Talking to bunshun about Miichan is the lowest possible betrayal there is in my book.

 

well, the only actual choice was Alan Shirahama, from what I understand all the other instances seemed to be pretty unilateral.

anyway .... both agencies basically say: there was no engagement proposal, they are on good terms and please mind your own business
make of that whatever you want.


In other news, Tenso received a package for me, so I'm guessing it's the fanclub item?
It arrived in the Netherlands on Monday ... but it has been stuck in customs till today .... because since beginning this year you have to pay custom duties even for small packages, and if you pay you get 'better' service

btw the fanclub is divided in "I'm happy when Miichan is happy" and "It's private, Miichan will tell us if she's ready, please don't speculate"

 

That's the fraudster I was talking about, but imho it looked like they just wanted to drag Miichan into that whole sordid affair (ow, just followed your link and found myself jumping to Miichan's defence :/ )

 

I already mentioned Miichan has been extremely busy since her graduation, I think she and her management are well aware of the fact they need to launch her career as a tarento using the buzz created by her graduation and woman's mental.
So right now that means taking every job offer available.

I'll still maintain Miichan might not have had the appeal of a kami-7 idol, but she does have the skill set to survive (or maybe even thrive) as a tarento.

(added bonus for Miichan, it seems people think she gets prettier with age)

 

it might not be clear from Miichan's tweet, but in the ModelPress article you can find that he confirmed it, and the toothbrush thing has to do with him not always brushing his teeth daily
she basically says: "I'm going to make him brush his teeth every day"

I want to point out what a great friend Sasshii always turns out to be for Miichan, even thought they were rivals in AKB as variety queens they always were the best of friends and while Sasshii admitted to be a little envious of Miichan in the past, Miichan never had any problem with Sasshii's immense popularity.
(and then Sasshi made Miichan cry by asking her to direct the MV for =LOVE ... which was one of the cutest, heartwarming things ever)

and I wondered if it was ok to make this public, but Miichan confirmed she was dating in the fanclub as well.

I'm just going to quote this tidbit from the (rather long) fanclub post

so there you have it, Miichan is happy and no one will know what the future brings

o, Tetsuya made a statement on YouTube

if the video does not show watch the video here

btw his video seems to be #1 on trending in Japan

(ow, bonus point for him, he's a cat person)

 

I think I should rectify this "not always brushing his teeth daily in the past", that was sloppy writing by me, sorry

About the 2chan crowd, not sure how Hiroyuki thinks about it, but 2chan has always been a cesspool of hatred for Miichan (but then again it's a cesspool of hatred, period)

in other news .... this just arrived from Japan

snack cafe '31'

btw Miichan's confirmation tweet has over a 100.000 likes
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1439169967979589632

ow, I forgot to mention, she confirmed her relation in the fanclub 6 hours before she sent her tweet.

 

Mitz Mangrove who appeared with Miichan on TOKYO MX "Goji ni muchu!" posted this on her instagram
===============
It's like a two-handed peace.
It looks like you're happy.

To the people of the world, please continue to take good care of my little sister.
---------------------------


iirc, a long time ago she was being rather mean to Miichan on a TV show, but changed her mind after she got to know Miichan better and they then became good friends.

this was posted before Miichan's dating news came out and Miichan does look radiant


As an aside, a lot of people in the fanclub worried if Miichan would post again in the group chat after the news broke, as it would obviously be kinda hard as some fans (just a few though) reacted negatively to the news.
She, as I mentioned before, posted a statement well before going public on twitter, but she might of course not feel as comfortable to talk to the fanclub members.
Miichan has mentioned having the tendency to run away from problems, but yesterday she resumed posting in the fanclub group chat again.

Miichan will be a guest on "Nice to meet you! Farthest relatives", a show looking into celebrities' heritage
I'm curious wat kind a things show up

 

It's a lottery, and they asked Miichan what she would do if she won the main prize .... she said she would open a national chain of gyoza restaurants ... because, as we know, she loves gyoza .... and shrimp, but no tomatoes

the funny thing of course it that Oricon and MyNavi News are not focusing in the description for the videos on the reason of the event, the lottery, but on Miichan's relationship.


btw, Miichan looks relaxed and confident.

 

Former AKB48 Minami Minegishi (28) appeared with Milk Boy at the online "Halloween Jumbo Lottery" and "Halloween Jumbo Mini" release commemorative event on the 22nd. Appeared in the first event after discovering her love for YouTuber unit "Tokai OnAir" Tetsuya (27). Minegishi, who appeared in a Halloween witch-style dress, did not touch on dating, but she gave a happy aura with a smile from beginning to end.
