Good evening!

The three days of
The Keyakizaka46 2nd Year Anniversary Live are over

To all of you who came,
And to all of you who always support us
Truly, thank you very much.


It was the most nerve-wracking live so far.
At every performance, my nervousness comes back.

I shiver,
And my heart quakes....

Live performances really make me feel alive 




"Keyakizaka46 is a dream.
I want to be someone who gets close to everyone's dreams.
I think that each member's dreams,
Including my own dreams, can be fulfilled through Keyakizaka."

These words of Yukka's
Really, really linger in my heart.


I want to be with everyone much longer.
And I want to be with all of you, too.


Please be good to us again in our third year.

The double-jointed sisters! Shii-chan!

Pe-chan 

We borrowed the bunnies
That I sang Wait a Hundred Years with.

The costume people made this for me.
Love (;;) Thank you so much.

For quick changes,
I bring my own shoe-horn from home,
It ended up having a message written on it 

Fuu-chan!




As for Nagahama,
All that are left are regrets.
I look forward eagerly to the next live.



Fu!




And also

Today, the tenth, starting at 7:56pm
I will appear on Nippon Television's
Dance! At Sanma's Palace

This time, once more, it's nothing but wonderful people whom I love.
Truly, all of them are greats.


Please be sure to watch!!!




And Weekly Playboy is now on sale!!
I was given the cover.

Please be sure to look at that, too



Thank you very much for reading.

Here's the cover of that Playboy now on sale:

There's a gravure feature, too. Here's one of the photos (the only one I've seen:

At first I thought the pic was a bit of a dud. Not much to it. But the more I look, the more I realize how much went into it, and how well it works. The sparing make-up. The way she grips the branch with her right hand. The prominently featured underarm. And above all her expression, with a tantalizing bit of fear in it. Experts. Including Neru.

In the Anniversary Live, Neru did not sing Wait 100 Years from a balloon, but on stage, with two bunnies:

I manhandled the Japanese a bit to produce the phrase "the double-jointed sisters." The original is literally: "The ape-arm, ape-finger sisters." "Ape-arm" and "ape-finger" refer to being double-jointed (bending backward).

SugaiYuuka's words are from her moving MC speech during the live. It can be found (in Japanese) here.

Kakizaki Memi blog: Late Halloween handshake event...plus Techi-Memi together

Woof ∪･ω･∪

Kakizaki Memi
2017.11.07


Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

A few days ago there was a handshake event in Kyoto!
It was "late Hallowe'en"
And we wore costumes!


This was the first session:

Do you know what the costume is??

It's the girl Wednesday 

From the movie The Addams Family.

Did anyone know?

It might have been a bit difficult ー(´ｰ∀ｰ`)

2nd session!

It's a little devil ♥

She also had wings  \(　˙▿˙　)/

3rd session!

This is either a fox or a dog! (lol)

At first, I intended it to be a fox,
But I thought it was so much like a Shiba
That in the end I made it a dog (o´罒`o)

Bow-wow ∪･ω･∪

By the way, the skirt was given to me by Neru ♥
There aren't many skirts like this, with such a lovely Japanese pattern. I really like it (*´˘`*)

And thank you very much for the flowers  <(_ _*)>


I totally enjoyed the handshake event ٩(*˙︶˙*)۶
Really, thank you very much!

[Sasaki Mirei]

Bye-bye

Nice post, with the first photo I've seen of the little devil (such an appropriate costume for Memi -- just ask Kyouko).

But the most significant photo of Memi from this event was in Satou Shiori's blog:

Shii-chan wrote: "Hey! Look! Look! Isn't this terrific?! Lol. Makes your heart throb. Tekko and Memi-chan are the best. I've got another version that I'll send in Message."

"Terrific" translates the word yabai, which means 'dangerous, terrible, terrific, amazing'. And when she says that Techi-Memi is the best, she uses Neru's dialect phrase "saikou ka yo!"

Comments on Twitter are things like: 

• "Techi's boyfriend feel is so strong"
• "Techi is handsome, Memi is cute"
• "Satou Shiori takes a stunning photo of Hirate Yurina and Kakizaki Memi flirting"
• "With this hairstyle, Techi is so handsome. Memi has a girlfriend feel"
• "I wish I was Memi-tan"
• "Gyaaaaaa! Techi-Memi. The two of them staring into each other's eyes makes them so like a couple. I want to be reborn as Memi-chan.
• "Of course Shii-chan and Techi are, but isn't Memi super cute? I want to have that face bearing down on me."
• Memi has the look of love."

I love this kind of thing, but a lot of it is believed to be publicity play-acting. So I try not to take it too seriously.

In the photo of the little devil, I like Memi's huge hands. Dangerous creature. In Message, Neru posted a pic of Memi in costume, and was delighted that she had worn a skirt she got from Neru.

Wednesday Addams was a hard costume to guess. Memi's big fan Shuutta reports from the second session:
Me: Your costume in the first session was Wednesday, wasn't it?
Memi: It was!
Me: Did anyone realize it?
Memi: No-one. 
Me: Ah, so that's how it is. From now on, I'll be the first to guess for you.
Memi: Really?
Me: (I died.)
