#6! I want to see her do her archery!

 

when i was watching showroom stream, she reminded me of Terada Ranze (Nogizaka46)

 

Her stream has been uploaded onto Dailymotion by a benevolent user!

 

Watching the stream is no fun if I can't throw stars (or other more expensive things).

She's more Yonesan than Ranze IMO.

 

I remember watching her stream the most during auditions! I really loved her Fun Fact: I was the one who asked who her 48group oshimen was :$ and then to my surprise, not only did she answer but she listed all her oshis from each group!

 

Ponchan had posted her first official blog post here
For which you can check it out translated in english on my tumblr

I plan on working on her blog whenever I'm free so please do track her tag on tumblr or my twitter ^^

 

I've uploaded the clips of her showroom on DM. It's on privatised so you can only watch it here or on tumblr (link will be provided, it can be shared)
Split them into 3 parts because of the DM limit

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3

 

Translation by arifer of today's wonderful blog post. (Sorry, arifer, I went ahead and shared this, since I liked it so much.)

 

Thanks for the PR ^^ Feel free to share it anywhere! I just want her to get out there so that everyone can get to know her
I've forgotten to post updates on Stage for quite a while now

Anyways, I've edited my blog layout so Ponchan's translations are more accessible from the side menu. (Just a minor layout edition)

Latest blog post translated
She talks about her experience during her first ever handshake event(!!), well not including the 48G she went right after made it into hiragana keyaki. More pics of her with Meimei and her next HS partner Kumitan ^^

Ahhh how I wish I could have made it for her HS orz

 

Here is a pic of three members of Hiragana. I've posted it here because it's from Ayaka's blog, but the pics of Higashimura Mei (with spoon) and Takase Mana are also good. (Current nicknames: Takemoto, Meimei, Manafi.) The backhand feeding is a fascinating (and familiar) move. Taking the shot at the moment the bit of bun touches Ayaka's lips is also fairly fascinating. As is Manafi's smiling look at the camera. Wonderful all round, really -- right down to Manafi's (?) pink bottle-insulator.

 

In yesterday's blog post, she showed us herself in her archery outfit. She has been in the Japanese archery club at school right through high school, to this her third year. She says this year she got custom-made arrows. Here's a photo, and here's a blog post with more photos and a link to a site that translates some of her blog posts. There's something natural about her, and she can seem quite beautiful sometimes.



Writing her blog, listening to Nogizaka46:

 

Well, here's one general point confirmed: we apparently know that 46 group idols aren't allowed on Twitter or other public systems. We expect they use private messaging of some kind, probably LINE. Now here comes Takamoto Ayaka to confirm that they use LINE:

Sitting beside me [on the Shinkansen back from Kyoto to Tokyo] was Katoshi (Katou Shiho), but she was listening to music and couldn't hear what I said.
But Memii (Kakizaki Memi) who is three years younger than me, talked with me on LINE. Thank you, Memii.



I wonder if she was supposed to admit that. I've never noticed anyone else saying it this directly (although we thought it was true).

Memii left, Aya right. I find the "who is three years younger than me" interesting. Why would she point that out?

 

There's nothing wrong with them admitting they use LINE. It's primarily a personal messaging app like WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger. All the 48G girls talk about it because LINE is the main go-to messenger app in Japan.

Heh Aya probably wants to reinforce how she's supposed to be the responsible one eh

 

If anyone was wondering why Pon-chan seems to be growing in popularity, take a look at this pic from her blog. Those eyes....

 

First time saw her in a coincidence at one of her showroom video, fell for her
She's so cute especially when she smiles, her showroom is also interesting, showing that she has lovely character

I love her puffy cheeks and protruding teeth, her upper and lower lips almost never touch when she talks while smiling
Takamoto and Kyouko is my favorite combi on hiragana,

 

Happy Birthday Ayaka

 

first time checking out about Hiragana girls, I got into her, memi and kumi. but she looks exactly like kyoko so I fell for kyoko too.

and happy birthday!
