Hey guys! I have a question that I've been thinking about for quite sometime now. What is the perception of Himetan in Japan? Of course we love her to death (assuming most of us are not from Japan), but I would love to know their perception and why she's not as popular as say a Ikuta Erika or even Shiraishi Mai. I'd love to know!

 

she is popular in fandom but outside no so much because so far she doesnt has any big push. People might know her su-metal sister though

 

Why do you think she hasn't received a push yet?

 

She did, at some point. It didn't work out, then they put her in the back-burner. Now she's grown up and a different person, so it could happen. We'll see.

 

seeing her at nogidan vocalist ... she was so entertaining ... waiting for her comeback

Translation here, credits to the translator http://kungfuuhime.blogspot.pe/2017/07/nakamoto-himeka-himetan-blog.html?m=1 I also feel a sad mood since a couple of pasts blogs, maybe graduation? or drop to UG?

 

She was talking about the second gens and how she is sympathetic to how they feel as the middle child of nogizaka since she is also the middle child. She told them to shine and show everyone the power of the middle child.

I thought it was actually one of the least sad sounding blogs she's posted lately.

 

Oh thanks!

 

Her blogs were sad as of late? Really? Could you care to list some examples? I think I'm missing it haha

 

Nope, it doesn't sound sad at all. I say it's just a matured Himetan expressing her feelings, after being away from it all for a while. It's normal, everything she said is nice actually.

 

Nice words. And just truth?

I get this bad feeling Himetan will graduate within the year.

 

I thought I was the only one with that "fear". Even after her return, I feel that something is missing.

 

Like there's no more joy in her face, even before her hiatus something is not right, I think it's not only health issue. So yeah . . .

 

She's definitely not 100%. There's a reason she's not participating in 18th single HS after all. Tough to say that what's troubling her is going to make her graduate though. When she first came back from hiatus she seemed in great spirits and put out some great photo shoots looking fantastic.

The drop back to unders seems to have taken quite a big mental toll on a lot of the girls including Hime.

 

Just announced graduation in her radio.

edit:
She will not participate in 19th single nor the national tour but will be in Under Live Kyushu.
She will not participate in the Tokyo Dome as well.

 

Just no. So sad and confused to hear it... I hoped we could've seen her shine more in senbatsu, but it wasn't to be.

I wonder when her last show will be? After all the 18th stuff is over or even before?
