    Synchronicity will never be the same without Maiyan center. And will definitely miss Maiyan's Girls Rule scream.:(:(

    I stumbled upon this video by accident. I've known Aomaru to be a hardcore Maiyan-oshi since way before and her feelings here made me cry so much. :cry2:


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    I don't even want to post something like this anymore as I'm still hurt by the G-bomb but this video made me decide to.

    If you're a long time fan, you know what I'm talking about. Seeing the group from nothing to stardom. Seeing each and everyone grow. Seeing them shine on stage.You'll treat them as something precious. Something that you'll treasure in your heart. You're basically with them from the start until the end.

    Shiraishi simply started from nothing. The memories of being bullied were still fresh when she joined the audition for an idol group whose future is uncertain. Everything was a gamble. She, along with the other 1ki, worked very hard to achieve what they have now.

    Aomaru struck me the most here because this is the reason why most fans are sad. Yes, we will still see the actress Maiyan. We will still see the model Maiyan. It is the Idol Maiyan that we will never see again. The Maiyan that shines on stage. The Shiraishi Mai of Nogizaka46. The Maiyan that made us love her and the group.

    Maiyan, thank you very much for these 8 years as an Idol. It is time to move forward now. Wish you the best in your future.

    本当にお疲れさまでした!

    I think you're exaggerating a bit there (which is understandable today). Nogizaka didn't start from nothing, it's not like AKB starting with 7 paying customers at their first show, Nogizaka started at the height of the idol boom with solid backing and finance from Sony with Aki-p as creative adviser at the height of his power. But the members and management did do a great job of making a success of those elements, no doubt about that.

    I agree with that, her back story is compelling because of her courage, and she emerged from the background because of her innate talent and strength. I'm not a huge fan of Maiyan but I've always admired her, if that makes sense. She's always had this sense of dignity and grace which is attractive to both men and women.

    Maiyan to me is the quintessential Nogizaka member, she has what I'd see as the Nogizaka aura. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I've always found she got more beautiful as she aged. I'll miss her on stage a lot. Synchronicity will never be the same. Knowing that this last Kohaku was her last one I wish she didn't share the stage with that comedian.

    2020 just began and we are already hit with this news. Wish she could have put this off until a little later in the year. Maiyan has been the face of Nogi for such a long time that it's difficult to imagine the group without her.

    I got that newspaper from twitter. And I have no idea about it. I only know the words below Maiyan and Kenshi Yonezu's name.

    Wow! That is beyond amazing if Shiraishi Mai is working with Kenshi Yonezu. This looks so, so promising it's a dream collaboration.

    Members and graduates posting comments about Maiyan graduation... I've seen the insta stories and such... Anyone know where to find english translations?

    Also, would be nice to see a translation of Shitara's comments: https://twitter.com/329fukahuka/status/1214421513656389632?s=20

    ç
    Or Aomaru's...

    Or even Chi-chan's:

    I think it is just fans/writer speculation. And the article also said that if these two collaborate, it will produce big hit song, cmiiw. Moreover, they are on the same label, SME.
    However, I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the yellow text on the bottom part of Maiyan hand. It said God, Buddha, and Kenshi-sama. With Maiyan picture clasping her hands, it looks like she is begging for the collab with/to Yonezu Kenshi.

    yeah. almost like a clear indication. unless its just what she wants. but i think they will probably have a date already, also with management will want to milk some national handshakes with Maiyan still around.
