Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

Well, we all know how Japanese dokirris are .... this one was pretty tame to be honest

and she got screentime

 

Her version of sweet and sour pork

Well, I was kinda surprised Miichan was included in the unexpected social distancing MV AKB48 dropped today
Ok, I know she's *the* senior member ... and it would be kinda weird to not include her when they bring back the other 1st gen members, but before 'shitsuren arigatou' Miichan had a bit of dry spell, and then there was Kimi wa Melody .... (yes, I'm still butt hurt over that)

 

Laughing at myself. I sent the video to my daughter and said there were 10 graduates in it. I must have included Jurina and Miichan with the eight actual grads.

 

You're a terrible person!! not yet...... not yet


btw, her cooking looked yummie

Miichan features pretty prominently in de the CDTV performance, link in the post above

To be honest, she's getting so much recognition (i.e. good positions) now, she might even decide to stay on

 

Today is 200 days since Miichan's graduation announcement and she should have had her concert 85 (could be 84) days ago, she didn't drink a drop of alcohol since that day in December.

so someone decided to celebrate it with a collage

I guess Miichan is going to add another record to her list.
only original member in all teams ...
longest serving original member
member with the most varied haircuts
plus
member with the longest period between announcement and graduation

 

You're of course right ... I forgot how far in advance Takamina announced it .... but we'll know next year april
Tbh ... I don't see when they can hold big concerts again .... and if Miichan is ok with waiting it, I think management won't mind resuming it all with a legendary concert and going all out ...
1) to celebrate the end of the restrictions
2) to have Miichan's graduation
3) to have most of the original and Kami 7 members (esp. Takamina, Nyan-nyan, Tomochin, Acchan and Mariko) in one last concert (because apart from something like a 20th anniversary I don't see the chance for that (yeah, I know, Yukirin ... but she's still 3rd gen, it's not quite the same) )

but then again there might not be one after all :/

 

Story at WWS about her Ponytail costume pictures she posted on twitter.

"On June 24th, Minami Minegishi of AKB48 updated her Twitter account.

Minegishi was broadcast on the 22nd, "CDTV Live! live! Appeared in "Special" (TBS system). AKB48 showed off a summer tune medley titled "Summer advance hit medley".
I posted a ponytail shot with the comment "Thank you for complimenting ponytail! Yukirin said that it's true that this hairstyle will rejuvenate you".

Miichan did a 'makeup' video with Miki-chan ...... the results .... ahem .... well, I'll let you decide

if the video does not show watch the video here

and for her own channel she got together with a real make-up artist

if the video does not show watch the video here

I think maybe this is Miichan's best skill, she is not flirty ... she just looks like soooo much fun to be around with

 

It also has the sakura blossoms they made together via zoom a few weeks back

at first I though ... "why is Yukirin holding a dowsing rod? are they into geobilogy now? looking for the best spot to stand?" ... but it turned out those where the twigs for the blossoms


and the best spot is obvious ... it's the centre ... that still has the aura of Acchan and Yuko


its funny how the older members have 'official' labels on their lockers ... Shiichan, Miyao, Miichan and Yukirin ... while the rest have post-it notes


must have been weird to be in that dressing room, just the two of them, while that's usually bustling with a whole team .... kinda eerie
(ok, staff was there, but still)

Miichan posted that she thought the summer has started for her hair ..... and she didn't drink alcohol

 

I like the interaction between those two, they are just having a lot of fun

btw ..... Miichan's sobriety comes up ... it was 180 days, so that places this video on 20 days ago
