“My head is popcorn.”

I’ll always will remember the ending to that NogiBingo! episode wherein she lays asleep behind the scenes trying on the AD role.  That’s Sakurai Reika, Nogizaka46’s captain. 

By next week she will have graduated.  Here’s to our Captain!  JOLLY GOOD SHOW REIKA!  Well done and thank you…

I still don’t know what Nogi’s captain does.  Is she supposedly the task master keeping her fellow members in line?  Is she the members’ representative with the management?  Is she management’s lackey?  Who knows?  I”m sure the members do, but the thing I know is that Nogi’s captain is a reliable member meant to be steady and reasonable in the crazy idol world.  Reika seemed to embody that ideal. Although it seems like Nogizaka has an abundance of members like that.  So Reika was the most representative of the class and style of a Nogizaka member — a leader.  

Man, I’ll miss her. She’s been the only Nogizaka Captain I’ve known.

Suddenly, I’m sad that she’s graduating…

THE CAPTAIN IS GRADUATING.  LONG LIVE THE CAPTAIN.
