All about summer. (6 September 2020) Original: http://blog.nogizaka46.com/yuna.shibata/2020/09/057644.php Translation: https://halcyontranslations.home.blog/2020/09/06/all-about-summer-shibata-yuna-6-september-2020/
I might have mentioned it a while ago, but I wonder if her lack of selection during the entirety of the Principal stages last year had affected her subsequent self-confidence. She seemed to be an early management favourite but then had opportunities dry up after Saku, Kakki and Ayame had their push. Since then we've had many the other members come out of their shells and into their own a lot too, through NogiChuu, Doko E and even Nekojita - Sayaka, Mayu, Yan, Seira, Rei and even KTGW - they all have very distinguishable traits and personas now. Yuna and Yakubo are the ones who I personally feel have been left behind. And now they have the new 4th gen kids to stand out from too...
There are always two or three per generation who sort of get left behind - with 3rd gen it's Riria, Reno and Christie - It's almost inevitable in such a large group, I'd say with 4th even Yakubo is ahead of Yuna because of her bits on Nogizaka Skits. I'm just hoping Yuna is given a push which would up her spirit and and bring her out of her shell a little more. Also, with the potential of many of the remaining 1st and 2nd gens graduating in the next year or so, there will hopefully be space for her to be given much more of the limelight. She's a lovely girl, I wish we got to see more of her.
That's just what happens when you pick a girl who's good just at... smiling(?), and you leave more interesting girls to your sister groups. Really, 4th gen is like the decay of nogizaka. Nogizaka's strong points that made it succesful and more interesting compared to AKB was the quality of songs and the fewer but more quality members, if we're gonna miss these things it's like there's just gonna be a constant decay, especially since your pillars are graduating and the new gens are underwhelming. Thanks god we have 3rd gen girls or I would be really worried if Nogizaka's future would just be handled by 4th gen.
