I hear a bunch of girls fangirling
and poster gets called out for voyeurism on twitter

I don't think I would have recognised Miichan btw, she doesn't wear her hair parted in the middle all that often

 

I know, but I would like to tell her she's wrong
if AKB was just the kami 7 I'm not sure if they would have gotten the traction they had, sum of the parts being more etc.

well, there was Janken as well

J!NS Park celebrates its first anniversary with this illustration of the three editors so far.

They announced the fan club meeting on twitter as well

tweet has a video of another photoshoot with Miichan

 

Miichan went snowboarding for the first time.
She said she fell over time after time ...
(fanclub had a photo, but I won't share it here)

there also was a video of Miichan doing a Etoma photoshoot, it's kinda amazing how she became so pretty ... I would not call her an ugly duckling, but before she was really cute, now she's become beautiful
btw, of cours you don't give images in the fanclub just 1 like but 31

 

I told you Miichan went snowboarding .... she brought her personal coach



she mentions it was the beginner slope ....
I know when I learned to ski, decades ago, they would not let us off the training slope for the first few days .... lifts? ... no lifts for you .... climb
Talschi belasten, bergschulter for! (forgive my bad German) ....
Swiss ski teachers are really strict, I mean really

the funniest part of the week was when he taught is how to skate, up till then every one in the class had been of a similar level, struggling ..... but suddenly all the Dutchies skated down the flat slope as if they had never done anything else in their lives.... (which of course we hadn't, 99% of Dutch people know how to skate )

Both in their favourite colours, they are really a cute couple

edit:
if I read Tetsuya's post correctly it was a first for both

I would have expected for him to be a seasoned snow boarder
I also would have expected Miichan to pick up how to do it rather quickly

otoh ... it could also still mean he taught her and that she progressed too quickly

in replies people mention that they saw them on the slopes

 

Recording for Minejika

Miichan's manager noted last time the Miichan got even drunker (as it was the second part of one recording)
Miichan seemed to be kinda embarrassed by it all ... said she was kinda worried about the broadcast as she couldn't really recall what she had said.
(for sure if it was really outrageous it would not be broadcast)
But the both of them visiting bars ... well, it kinda comes with the territory


Miichan gave chocolate from Okazaki to her manager for Valentines day (which of course, like Christmas, is not quite the same thing in Japan )


She gave chocolate to the staff when she return from Poland as well btw


Miichan uploaded a new YouTube video
edit: I thought it was Tetsuya's cat, but this is a grey cat with a Guinness world record and a YouTube channel

if the video does not show watch the video here

companion video on Mochimaru-san's channel

if the video does not show watch the video here

Miichan brought gifts ... and of course it was a shrimp themed toy, because as we all know 'I love Shrimpu!'


btw, I always like the way cats react when they fail to catch something "no, I did not try to catch that" and then pretend to ignore it for a bit

Btw, this channels is what made Miichan realize she liked cats as she thought she was a dog person

 

Miihan's weekly calendar


I'm kinda confused now ... Miichan's manager wrote she told him/her about Seiya's Italian travel diary, so I guess that's something that really exists

In one of the episodes of 'The Makanai' the top meiko gets a lucky card from a taxi.
She's considered to be very lucky as there are only a few of those in Kyoto

well, Miichan is lucky as well

it seems Tokyo taxis are running the same scheme

 

I see they have more articles about AKB members, but Miichan will be so happy to be called girly and cute

The latest Minejika episode brought them to a bar where they serve cockatails based on your favourite movie (hence the popcorn I guess)

Miichan went to see RRR last week btw


Miichan went on an Instagram story spree


More movies Miichan went to エゴイスト(egoist) and 'Everything went fine'
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22006138/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12847812/
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1627234880911454209

I'm always so happy to find out (again) how Miichan has no prejudices and how modern she is in her thinking about people, love and caring.

ow, another YouTube video ...
Night routine in Okazaki

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Miichan always had almost flawless skin, she only has a tiny birthmark on her nose (accidentally the same spot lemon-chan has one)


btw, it took three years to develop the concept .... so it started before people started to call Miichan cute and pretty?

 

There was a pop-up event for Etoma in Harajuku
Micchan's manager asked people to share pics on twitter

A fan brought her little kid along ....

btw, Miichan left Japan again, she gave a hint of the destination in a video in the fanclub, but I have no idea
"There is quite a time difference" ... so, Hawaii?

btw, Miichan's night routine was watched a million times, I'm guessing part of those are Tokai on Air fans wanted a peek into Miichan's and Tetsuya's married life

Well, I'll be damned .... Miichan doing a photoshoot together with Nyan-nyan ...

if the video does not show watch the video here
Miichan brought gifts from Poland

 

Today's radio show



they look like a pair that would easily spend the whole night going from bar to bar ....
the thema was 'this year' goal announcemtn'

ow, btw, Miichan is indeed in Hawaii


Miichan will appear on the CHOOSE YOUR LIFE FES together with Mizuno Keiya a writer of novels

Miichan returned safely home from Hawaii
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1630822496781078534

someone posted this as response

I think that's kinda awesome

btw, this Saturday is the first fan club event

 

Today was Miichan's first live fanclub event

When people said in the fanclub that their two-shot was over exposed, Miichan immediately responded that they should contact the staff and they would try to fix it.
And staff posted several times for people to contact them.


Fans also mentioned the majority of the attendees where girls/women, something I always kinda suspected.
One fan mentioned she attended the first session and her daughter would attend the second.
source: https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1632008725274972160

according to the replies everyone really enjoyed it

meanwhile, while I could not attend of course, I did get a birthday message video

 

Yeay! a behind the scenes with credits for all the participants

Miion saying 'pappa and mamma'

so it looks like they filmed the scene where Tetsuya sees Miichan on TV at his parental home?

btw: you can see his mom is really proud of him, the whole wall filled with Tokay on Air pictures


when he came running when his name was called .... and they were just rehearsing

btw, it never registered with me that the school uniform Miichan wears is the uniform from Sakura no hanabiratachi 2008
