Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

Using Yuko's cherry filter

 

^ well, that was a good hint to tell me to catch up on Miichan's instagram



second pic ... I'll repeat, no one can pout as good as Miichan can

and as I was visiting flickr anyway ... some random pics with Miichan in them


I'm guessing the first one is Tomichin's graduation concert? because it has Acchan and a short haired Miichan.
Second is Miichan promoting JKT in Jakarta


and there I thought it was a slow news day


there's a certain something about Japanese women in Yukata ... and that blue is glorious

 

Well, Miichan seems to enjoy every minute of it

Video has hashtags:
#峯岸みなみ、#AKB48、#踊ってみた、
#Minami Minegishi, #AKB48, #I tried to dance,

Miichan doesn't try, she just does

and one of the perks of an original member, you get to borrow the original costume

Spoiler

and furthermore, you get Oshima Yuko (大島) to coach you

 

It was Yuko, I normally ignore the large walls of text as half of it is Kanji (and I'm not able to read these)...... but the text at 3:59 ends with 大島 優子 ...
(well, I do recognize two kanji in there 大 = o or dai, 子 = ko)

「私も踊りた」と
Watashi mo odorita to
'I also danced' and
スタジオに遊びに来た大島 優子
Sutajio ni asobi ni kita oshima yoku
Oshima Yuko came to play in the studio

and subsequent remarks by the coach are labeled Yuko, and it is indeed her voice ...


O, I should add, it's a real shame you barely get to see Miichan in the UZA PV .... even less in the Dance Version :/

 

That's the theme name. Japanese YouTuber always use 'I tried~ (〜てみた)' to indicate the theme. You can check all dance video --- it's all 踊ってみた. There're also 歌ってみた (Singing)　食べてみた (Eating)　etc.

You missed い.

「私も踊りたい」とスタジオに遊びにきた大島優子
Watashi mo Odoritai to Studio ni Asobi ni Kita Oshima Yuko
"I also want to dance", said Yuko who also come to the studio.

 

Let's do an instagram update


Not all of them are new .. and that melon bag I've definitely seen before
I like the hat .... Miichan always looks good with hats or caps


and Miichan's Imōto Miki-chan opted for the same kind of higlights in her hair it seems ... a bit more extreme though


and ... Miichan's UZA video is nearing the 900k views, while her BEGINNER video has reached 1.7m views
'ordinary' videos, ( well, Miichan videos are never 'ordinary') average in the range from 100k to 200k for Miichan, while colabs with ex-members perform a bit better (unless it's Sasshii, then they perform a lot better).

150k subscribers ... so, even with all the competing AKB member channels, she isn't doing all that bad
(otoh, in a way YouTube probably suites Miichan's personality better ... just keep the scissors locked away somewhere safe )

and an instagram story (which seem to be popular but are kinda annoying imho)

 

In one of the documentaries 'To be continued', Miichan stated that:
"High schoolers are all vexing about what to study now, but I don't have that problem. I'm just putting all my focus on AKB"

she continued with:
"When I become an old lady, I will definitely feel that AKB was all my youth"

and concludes that in ten years time she'll definitely not be a part of AKB anymore as she'll be 28
that was in 2010 ... it's 2020 now .... and with the corona virus not under control, it just might be that she'll be proven wrong about that

today was day 250 since her graduation announcement, not a drop of alcohol since then.

 

it's sunday .... so new video ....

if the video does not show watch the video here

steakie bento

I do have a hunch there is some kind of endorsement deal here ...
Anyway the drink she shows is iirc one Sasshii did some commercials for ... and this is also not the first time UberEats comes up (I think?)

anyway ... I must be mistaken, as Miichan says she just recently got a credit card ... and then found out you don't need one for UberEats

She also said that there was quite a response to her dance vidoes ... but she also wants to do other stuff .... so ... leave suggestions under the video I guess

I noticed a thread about JNR48, a 'affiliate' with really young members of SHN48 ... and although I personally think under 14 is too young to start an idol career (or even under 16) ... I would like to see Miichan give a kind of 'masterclass' to aspiring girls in that age range ... I think she would be great at that.
(and ... there might be some money in it as well


lol at 7:57... routinely picking up a single grain of rice
(not that Miichan is one for the small bites in general )


btw Twitter announcement is this
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1294968031047585796
-----------------------------
I made Uber Eats because I made the first credit card in my life (you can use it without a separate card) While eating high-quality meat, I am talking about my recent worries and anxiety about the future, so please take a look at it relaxedly ~
-----------------------------

 

Takahashi Yuya did a new shoot with Miichan



https://twitter.com/YUYA_STER/status/1292649152719892480
===========================
Speaking of which, I took a picture with Mi-chan for the first time in a while. Camera with flash
Once the corona has settled down, I want to do a photo exhibition again! Fire

There must be something on the left lol
-------------------------------------------------


ow, and it's always funny to see that Miichan is a real back number fan ...
few years back she tweeted that her manager was able to get her to their concert just in time
today she tweeted:
=============================
back numberさんの新曲が良かったぁ。 今日もお酒を飲みませんでした（253日目）
----------------------------------------------------
Back number's new song was good. I didn't drink alcohol today (day 253)
----------------------------------------------------

another 100 days and it will be a full year since her anouncement ( + 1 day )
another 100 days and I hope my dad will be 92 ... and 偉大な祖父 (great grandfather)

 

There are more in the General AKB thread, but there was a performance od 'Hanarete ite mo/Even when apart" including Acchan, Mariko, Tomochin and Takamina at the 24 hour fund raiser

Miichan tweeted this shot:

=================================
AKB48で　#離れていても　歌わせていただきました。あっちゃん、たかみな、ともちん、まりこ様も参加してくれて、懐かしく、特別な時間でした。 またみんなとステージに立てたらいいなぁ。真ん中に入れてもらっちゃった✌︎ #24時間テレビ
-----------------------------------------------------------
In AKB48 #離れていても I sang. It was a nostalgic and special time with Achan, Takami, Tomochin, and Mariko. I hope I can stand on stage with everyone again. I got it in the middle
#24時間テレビ
----------------------------------------------------------


and it's sunday .... Video ... 5 minute makeup challenge!

if the video does not show watch the video here

and I'm probably very wrong (haven't watched till the end) but "Yoi! Starto" sounded like Yuko

edit: it isn't Yuok, its Ushi-chan ... it says "審判員: うしちゃん - Umpire Ushi-chan

well, that was short .... but really fun

btw, for a moment she had her hair parted the other way round

I think that looked great

 

There are 20 group pictures in the Team 8 thread (many are duplicates).

 

Miichan just posted this on her twitter ..... she didn't drink alcohol today .... or yesterday .... or any day since 8 December last year



It's somewhat strange, if you read the tweets about the two-shots of the other members (mion and yuiyui) ... they are totally in awe of Acchan, to them she is a true legend
And then you realise that Miion and Yuiyui joined after Acchan left
But for Miichan Acchan is foremost one of her closest friends



Speaking of Miion
she tweeted this
ばぶみぃちゃん - babimichan

Miichan is so cuddly
