    You can see Miichan is still having loads of fun perfoming
    and .... awwwww ... that ending!! was just so cute!!! :inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove:
    Miichan has the best kouhai ever! I don't think she knew they were going to do that :)

    ==================================
    キングレコードさんから頂いたお花も可愛すぎるから見て。
    「今度の番組の演出の参考に好きな色教えてください」って言われたから「水色」って答えたの。この為だったんだって、とても嬉しくなりました。AKB48って入ったミニバルーンも可愛い。ありがとうございます!
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Look at the flowers from King Records because they are too cute.
    He told me, "Please tell me your favorite color for reference in the upcoming program." I was very happy that it was for this. The mini balloon with AKB48 is also cute. Thank you!

    Great for her, but I still missed her in the Team K performance. I guess she had bigger things to do.

    Yeah, I wondered about that as well ... but shi... euh, scheduling conflicts happen


    To be honest ... even though it's of course not a handshake event, so it doesn't involve as much physical contact, I'm highly starting to doubt they'll be able to hold Miichan's Graduation concert on 2 April, things being as they are now :(

    I have seen the Music Station show and it was entertaining.

    Miichan presented Zukkii to viewers before they sang.
    When they were singing, Miichan was acting in the last row:( it has moved me to see that when the song ended, her companions they took her and put her in front of the group.:cute:

    Yeah I assume she had stuff going on or maybe she didn't want to detract from the other members getting attention. I'm also pretty skeptical that they're going to be able to keep the 2 April timing but who knows. It'd be great if it's settled down by then.
    That's really nice to hear

    Sometimes there is such a moment that you are going to take a double take .... wait? .. what?

    3年振りぐらいにおっぱい仕事をしました。嬉しかったので、お楽しみに! 今日もお酒を飲みませんでした(97日目)
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    I worked on boobs for about 3 years. I was happy, so look forward to it! I did not drink alcohol today (day 97)
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Boobs? first thing I thought ... well, that's google translate for you, that's obviously not what she meant .... but then someone asked in the responses if it was maybe in reference to gravure?
    soo ..... well, Shiichan had a gravure DVD recently ... so who knows?

    One thing's for sure ... it won't be a YouTube video ... :)

    edit: fixed a sloppy sentence

    The translator was not mistaken.:hehe:


    It could be that she is making a photobook or gravure magazine, it has been years since he has done any gravure and it must be that there is the comment about the boobs.:whistle:

    When you are saying he, are you talking about Miichan? Cause that's the male pronoun :^^;: like él in Spanish... Miichan is she, ella, female.

    Your English isn't disastrous ... you are only struggling with the possessive pronouns because Roman languages do those different from Germanic languages, we, in English, Dutch and German, take the gender of the subject, you tend to take the gender of the object ...
    But it should never be a reason for you to not respond here

    STU48 just anounced that they cancelled their 3rd anniversary concert, scheduled for 03/28.
    Now Miichan's graduation is in real danger

    I don't see it going through on the 2nd :( .... only thing we can hope for now is a postponement ... poor Miichan :( poor fans, I know of at least one European fan that already had tickets and was really devastated when her flight got cancelled :(


    new YouTube video by Miichan,have only watched 2 sec, but she seems to be in a gym ... and no3b comes up ..... so ... will she do a backflip?

    if the video does not show watch the video here


    btw, look at her shirt:

    Of course lol.

    She is trying for the backflip for real this time, because it's one thing she regretted not doing properly the first time, so she's going to perfect it before graduation.

    ----

    By the way, almost all upcoming graduations are being postponed. Off my head I know Isogai Kanon (STU48), Takayanagi Akane (SKE48), Kataoka Narumi (SKE48) all postpone their graduation.

    Btw, I never really understood why Miichan was unable to do a proper backflip ... we all know she does an epic cartwheel, and at the end of Sakura no Hanabiratachi I think it's her that jumps higher then even Yuko

    it's from left to right Acchan, Nyan-nyan, Miichan, Yuko and Chyuu
    [​IMG]

    and she seems flexible enough .... maybe it was just a psychological thing ... :/

    (btw, seeing that MV kinda reminds me how that ceremony in my school was a kind of a non event, all graduates gathered and we were called forward in blocks to sign our diplomas ... and that was it, can't even remember saying goodbye to my classmates (but I didn't really have a connection with them anyway as I repeated my fourth year, so all my friends had graduated a year earlier) )

    I think it was definitely a mental thing. From the beginning of what they showed, she seemed unsure and scared of doing it. It's completely understandable, imo, the idea of damaging your back or neck is terrifying, especially for an entertainer. I don't actually know how likely it is to hurt yourself doing it but I certainly would have a hard time bridging that trust gap with my body. Y'all are clearly better experts on her character but I've always had the impression that she struggled with anxiety towards herself. Though maybe I'm off the mark, she certainly seemed confident on variety shows.

    have you ever seen this ....

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    damn she really scared the others there ... she could easily have broken her neck if that hadn't been such a thick mat

    ow ....later on ..... what is that with boobs!!!! Miichan!!!


    Miichan used to be absolutely fearless in variety, especially in earlier AKBingo episodes, I remember in the AKB vs Idoling where she kicked Sata-san ... somehow, apart from Yuko, I don't think anyone would/could have done that :)
    (was she told to do it by staff, maybe .... but still, remember, she was just about 15 or so)
    And, the funny thing of course is that she and Bad Boys got along so well regardless of her lack of 'respect' during AKBingo.
    (or maybe because of it)
    After her scandal she got more careful, maybe partly because of the amount of hate she got, but over time she regained a lot of that confidence and lately she seems liberated
    Regardless of all that, she has always been told she was funny, so I think she was pretty secure in that and she always was one of the members that was good at MC and improvisation.

    But, as an idol, well, she never was that confident I think, I thinks she always thought Acchan, Nyan-nyan, Mariko, Mayuyu and Tomochin were 'real' idols, those were the ones who were deemed pretty and had fashion sense.
    Especially 2-chan relentlessly called her ugly, and the nickname Gachapin ... well, that doesn't help your self confidence.
    (btw, she does have a substantial foreign fan base .... I think half the comments on her Graduation MV are non-japanese (and I now have the distinct feeling I have said this before ... :/) )


    Somehow I think Miichan was a frog and I'm sure they turned her into a princess ;)

    btw, I watched the Mayuyu graduation documentary earlier today, I always hear a lot of Miichan fans complaining about how she was being systematically ignored, I disagree for the most part, it is even demonstrably untrue in a lot of documentaries, even after her scandal.
    But .... yeah ... in this one it's almost like she didn't exist ... "mayuyu graduates, but there are still great senpai like Yukirin and Sasshii" .... :(
    (ok, I get it ... it's mostly Team B ... but still ... damn)
