Shida Manaka (Mona) / Keyakizaka46 1st Generation

Thanks for the translation, ukifune!
I'm actually surprised that you didn't know what M1 is, since Sawabe mentioned that a lot. It's a competition for comedians.

That was interesting, and very funny, to read. I really do hope they'll give the girls opportunity to produce something by their own self, since a lot of them are very creative.

 

her smile has gotten more vibrant and expressive as time goes by. plus with that skin, she practically glows. it was lovely to see her.

in an ideal world, id have mona as a wife and we'd have yone as a daughter. i just want to make them laugh and see them at the height of joy

They actually start making stamps for passport

 

And now they're referring to the Tachikawa store as "TachiTachi," lol.

 

Picture seeming to show Mona reading Twitter on their bus. From KeyaBINGO:

250 people received the passport and the entry stamp for Kingdom of Mona today

And here's the map of Kingdom of Mona

Mona will be on the kids' TV show "Shall we get together at Pokemon's House?" Sunday morning at 8am on TV Tokyo. Here's a brief promo video of the episode. More emphasis on the more idol-like idols, lol.　This is Mona's first solo TV appearance, I believe. On blogs, I've read recently that both Aoi and Memi play Pokemon on the DS, so maybe they can get together with Mona on that. (Aoi says she's bad at it and always has her phone open while she's playing, looking for info. Memi says that on days off at home she plays it for a couple of hours most mornings.)

And thanks to @too much idea for keeping us updated on the Kingdom. They have a stand there with the passports telling people to take them freely. A sign also says that it took them two days to think up the plan and five days to execute it. The map of the kingdom is the shape of Niigata prefecture, where Mona comes from. On another image of a passport, the space where it says where it was issued says: Ario Kawaguchi, Niigata (the second Tower records store is in the Ario mall in Kawaguchi, which is actually in Saitama, in the Tokyo area, but has been made part of Niigata for this purpose). I can't understand everything on the passport, but it does say that one of the national regulations is that each day has 48 hours (that was something Mona said she wished was true when she was first introduced on KeyaKake over a year ago). The passport remains valid "forever."

 

Mona in the show that @ukifune said ^

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

^ just watch the show, imo it's so cringe and i think shida lost interest in the last segment or like "im not going to that"

 

It's a kid's show outside of Sesame Street they are all pretty cringe worthy once you get past 6-8 years old.

 

Cringe aside, i think Manaka did well on her own. Like, she's active in conversation and reactive as well.

 

Mona sooo cute in the pokemon show.dear japan TV ,plss invite Mona more please. she's like real life pokemon ..

I watch Pokenchi every week and I'm a Keyaki fan so I was really happy to see Mona on the show! It was a nice surprise. Still, I'm a bit sad she's so Keyaki in her behaviour that she didn't stand out a lot among the crazy hosts (and Ebichu Hinata). I'm not complaining though, I want her back every week (please take Rinka's position!)

 

Manaka in Keyabingo super cool .... i want to know who give her chocolate valentine. and if she give to someone..
