Kakizaki Memi2017.12.03
Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.
Today is December 2nd!!
It's my birthday \(❁´∀`❁)ﾉ
I'm 16 years old today ✧*。
Everyone wished me Happy Birthday ((( *´꒳`* )))
Me at 16.
Do I actually look 16? Lol.
Recently people have been saying I look adult.
I'm pleased (*^-^*)
But they used to say I was like an adult, too... lol
The past me:
Probably around nursery school.
So small...
Moomin seems really huge (*´ω`*)
This is around grade 2.
Eating curry in the classroom.
When I showed the old photos to Meimei,
She said: "Eh? The person in those pictures looks adult." ( *´•ω•`*)
Maybe my face hasn't changed much since then. lol.
So now that I'm 16, I want to look like more like an adult!
I'm saying I want to look like an adult, but at least I'd like to look my age.
As a 16-year-old I'll do my best
To polish both my outward appearance and what's inside me,
To become a fine person with inner strength.
A few days ago when I went back to Nagano,
My family gave me a slightly early birthday party ( ´﹀` )
And thank you very much for all the Messages, etc‼ <(_ _*)>
I'm really blessed to have birthday greetings from so many people!
Please be good to the 16-year-old me, too!
Bye-bye.

Twitter was humming yesterday with the "Kakizaki Memi Birthday Festival." One fan, called @keyacrhyme, went to the temple in Nagano where Memi's family greeted the New year last year and prayed for Memi. He wrote an ema board praying for a happy birthday and a good year for her. And in the divination, he got the best answer possible: "great good fortune." This is the same answer he got a year and a half ago, at the time of her auditions. It worked then, lol.
I like the beautiful persimmon someone else posted. The surname Kakizaki means "persimmon slope."
There were drawings and pieces of photo-art:
And lots of photos, including this one from her August Showroom, which I myself posted. This is how I think Memi looks normally: like a 15/16-year-old.
Here's the birthday photo from the KeyaKise game:
And here are a couple more photos from around her photo-shoot in the new Hiragana Keyaki edition of BOG magazine:
She writes the title of this post, "Sweet Sixteen," in English.
