Sasaki Mirei (Miipan) / 1st Generation

Oh she will. I'm always confused to why she's not selling better than Memi though

 

Mii-pan was on the Yugata paradise radio show Monday night and apparently did very well (as did Memi with her). They had to express various emotions by pronouncing a single syllable in various ways, and people found Mirei skillful and funny. In fact, her baka ignorance apparently went on full display and people found it very attractive. I'll provide a link to the radio show if and when one shows up.





I always enjoy the moment in the KeyaKake episode where, when Neru has called Mii-pan the "perfect human," Mii-pan reveals that she is terrible in school, and Neru says that is new information for her. To me it shows once again that some people can be capable in real life and still not that great at schoolwork.

I just came across this video of Mirei in choco☆milQ three years ago (posted July 2014, when she was 14):

Mirei! A short blog post from Dec. 5 translated here.

 

Thanks for doing this. Mirei deserves more attention. And yes, all the Hiraganas seem to have interesting characters, as we get to know them better.

 

I translated another one of Mirei's blog posts. The one from Dec. 6, which you can find here.

@ukifune
Haha, I should really be thanking you. Since you translate so much Memi-related stuff, I gradually became more and more interested in Hiragana Keyaki after reading those translations.

 

Happy Birthday Miipan

Happy Birthday Mii-Pan. May you succeed in life now that you've become an adult. Always keep smiling.

 

Happy 18th Birthday, Mii-Pan!! May you rise and rise as time goes on -- and I believe you will. You've been acting well in Re:Mind! And you are dependable in everything you do.

Mii-Pan on the rise: she is centre on the new Hiragana song revealed at Budoukan: Ima Miteiro.

Lyrics in Japanese (apparently transcribed by a fan from recording made on phone in concert):



By the way, my first sentence is an (unintentional) pun: the "pan" in Mirei's nickname Mii-Pan means "bread." Not only that, but in the performance of Dare Tobe on Wednesday, she was the one who rose up from the stage lift, as Neru did at the Xmas lives in December 2016 (and Memi did on Tuesday).

Mii-Pan looks great. I enjoyed her work in the MV, and feel how much she deserves the prominence: she was the only one in the group who had done much work before as an idol, and it still shows. I've put a subbed version of the MV here.

 

Omedetou Mirei you deserve this center position so much. For me, she (and Kage) are the stars from Re-mind, i just follow in love with her seeing Re-mind.

Mirei's new pictures from U.T.B.

 

Mii-Pan blog post: Memi and Mii-Pan? 2gens' birthdays. Mii-Pan wants a combi name for her and Memi together. Memi-Pan, Memiipan? Is something going on here? Memi says they are spending a lot of time together. A unit song on the album? A double centre flanked by Katoshi-Kyonko and Miho-Nao (as in recent magazine photos)? Or nothing at all. lol. They did a nice video extra together on the Fukyouwaon release ("Magic Girl"). We know Mii-Pan will be close to the centre of things, for sure.



By the way, is it Mii-Pan with Nibu-chan (and the mousou cameraman) in this pic? The question is being asked in Japanese posts.
