#乃木坂46結成11周年

broderic on August 21, 2022

おめでとうございます！

It’s Nogizaka46’s formation anniversary. Eleven years ago 36 girls were chosen to form a new idol group to be the direct rivals to AKB48. At the time, it may have been a daunting task since AKB48 was at the height of their popularity. But from humble beginnings come big things.

Here we are 11 years later and at the moment they are the most popular idol group.

Congratulations!

Looking forward to more continued excellence from the members now going into their 5th Generation.

動力！感謝！笑顔！

チョコレートメランコリー

St. Valentine’s Day comes around and I don’t really care. But watching idols doing idol things, you realize that on this day, idols do the idol thing that will have you all go “kyun!”

!= Me with Chocolate Melancholy.

I’ve bee sort of listening to this song off an on since it’s release. Not sure if I like or not. But I approve it to be played on St. Valentine’s Day.

Office Lady Resigns

One thing about being a fan of idols is that at any time they will make the decision to graduate, and you’ll be left with feelings of loneliness and sadness.

Today, Shinuchi Mai announced her graduation from Nogizaka46. I am left with feelings of loneliness and sadness.

She’s the eldest of all Nogizaka members at the ancient for an idol age of 29. She follows my oshimen, Ikuta Erika, out the door into the future and real life. I wish her all the happiness in the world, because I have fond feelings for all Nogizaka members (and somewhat for most all idols of Japan).

ここからTea Time

If I made it to Tokyo, this would be the extent of what I would tour. Yes. I am a terrible Nogizaka wota. LOL!

Anyhow. This YouTube channel has been silent going on two years. I wonder what happened. I hope she’s doing well.

Satisfaction

Maiyan and Nanase together again. Drinking beer. Yes. Let’s go.

We won’t be seeing this for much longer considering that they’ll go on and do their things, but at least in this year, we get Nogi’s best once again.

Did I ever tell you how much I like Nogizaka46 members even after they have graduated from the group? Well then, consider this your notification.

Mai Channel

Although she’s all but graduated, Shiriaishi Mai has started a YouTube channel!

Hooray!

Her first video was a livestream last Thursday on her birthday. It was filled with lots of technical difficulties. Also, I didn’t understand anything considering that it was all in Japanese. I did sing along as we sang her a happy birthday.

This is her first video, and it’s well produced. Almost like the Nogizaka management spent some time and money into making this video. It definitely isn’t all in her hands. I hope this continues.

Maiyan was a softball player in middle school. She bats left and throws right. We are treated to ponytail Maiyan and sweaty Maiyan. She’s still beautiful though. I wonder if she practiced a bit more would she have been making better contact. I laughed when she was supposed to hit the 110 kmh pitch, but found out the setting was for 130 kmh. Fast! Too fast!

Anyhow, it’s a cute video. You should smash the like button and subscribe. You know I am.
