Sample pictures for Mion's 2017 calendar B2: http://books.rakuten.co.jp/rb/14574333/ Desktop: http://books.rakuten.co.jp/rb/14574201/ @oyasumion That's not the entire interview, there's another 2 pages but I haven't seen full scans or photos of it anywhere yet.
I was surprised when I first read about her solo concert but I'm also really happy for Mion since it's going to be an amazing opportunity for her. I hope she's able to sell out the venue (TDC Hall's capacity is about 3100) and put on a super great show. And hopefully the concert will eventually get released so her fans outside of Japan can watch it too.
Ota pro is more for variety, Mion probably wants to be actress since she already had some roles when a child, in that case there are like 15 agencies better for that.
Comparatively speaking, she was more popular than Oshima Yuko. She's not superstar-status, but she got a lot of jobs back in the day. When she grew up, people still called her "The girl from Unfair" well into her early years in AKB48.
@Azralix I think Mogi will appear at some point and perform with Mion. Mogion did an interview for Entame magazine last year and were asked which songs they would like to perform together in the future. Mion answered OshiMeshi and Shinkirou, while Mogi suggested they perform I'm Sure. So maybe they'll perform one of those songs if Mogi really does make an appearance. 161219 Mion and Rika on Showroom They're currently in Okinawa to shoot the Renacchi senbatsu photobook. if the video does not show watch the video here It's probably just a coincidence but I noticed Mion's solo concert is on the anniversary of the day she passed the final round of 15th gen auditions.
OMG! Miion got influenza and Rikachan didn't update her photolog nor did SR yesterday ... https://twitter.com/mionnn_48/status/811722494151245824
Kojimako also mentioned the flu, but I don't think she went to the hospital. The flu is going around.
Even though Mion is suppose to be on a break until the 25th, she is still sending mobile mail to let fans know how she's feeling. She had a fever of 39.8 degrees Celsius earlier in the week but she's feeling better as of today. She received messages from Komi, Seichan, Miyabi, Manami, Naachan, Ryoka, Juri, Mogi, and Yuihan which cheered her up. But Mion still felt bad for missing Music Station Super Live and the Christmas weekend handshakes. Hopefully she feels much better soon so she can attend the events she is scheduled for next week. Despite being sick, Mion is still adorable.
