Kotochan's SSK Poster Kotochan's SSK Appeal Video if the video does not show watch the video here "Hi everyone, from NMB48 Team M, Draft Kenkyuusei, I'm Kotone Sugiura. At the 3rd Draft Kaigi, thanks to the support of my fans, I managed to get into Team M. Today, I would like to listen to your heartbeat. Hmmm? You're not nervous at all! One day, I will become an idol that will make your heart flutter! It's my first Election, but I would like to make use of this chance and let more people know about me. Let me end of with my catchphrase! (Happy things, fun things, what do you like? Koto-chan! My dream is to become your angel!)"
She's been back and currently in first place (out of 3) for BiS x SHOWROOM. I only just started following her room. I've been interested in kotone since the draft. My nickname for her was "kao ga omoshiroi." But more recently I've been drawn into her sexy image. A running joke is how soft-spoken she is. A strange thing with her SHOWROOM delivery is she will sometimes start a karaoke room and pick songs but not actually sing any of them. She holds the mic and speaks softly to the camera, it's not actual lyrics, and the gifts flow. if the video does not show watch the video here https://twitter.com/kotochannokoto/status/1423058541342978048?s=19
koto-chan has picked up the flute. watch her progress. day 1 unboxing if the video does not show watch the video here day 2 hits a note if the video does not show watch the video here day 3 playing with mirai if the video does not show watch the video here after 5 days of watching kotone blow the same note. a song is beginning to form. It's a bit hypnotic, this process of learning from showroom comments. there is obviously a music room at the theatre, but kotone has made this an interactive experience with fans. I also like that her flute keys have hearts (on the b-lever) if the video does not show watch the video here Spoiler: spoiler [hide]If you can hear the intro to enkyori poster then you may also be a music prodigy like kotone.[/hide]
Flute practice continues. Her perseverance seems to have successfully driven off half her showroom audience. At around 8 minutes into yesterdays 15min broadcast she had around 800 visitors (down from an average 2000 viewers) You can barely hear her speaking voice so maybe wind instrument is a good medium for her but I don't like the pattern.
koto chan did not participate in 11th anniversary concerts on 2021.11.03 because poor health. her uchiwa was held up by members during the encore of the night concert and was the prop fan used during coconas "buy goods" presentation during the afternoon "scrap and build" set. at the end of the nighttime set members wrote thank you messages on large sheets of white paper covering seats in an unused section spelling out "arigatou" kotochans read roughly "I'll continue with NMB48 for a long time, please continue to support me"
kotochan is back and will perform in Nov 10 chotzetsu kawaii stage https://ameblo.jp/nmb48/entry-12709041695.html
