Memi's greeting video for November:
She talks about Joyful Love, and how pretty the "gradation" of colours is. She asks that we watch the Mechakari TV commercial. There's speculation in Japanese comments that she's wearing the Joyful Love outfit under that coat, lol. Could this be the week the single is announced? Independently or as part of a Kanji single? Or a double-A side single? On Hirate's radio show Thursday? (Hopeful.)
And here's the CoCo Ichi curry house ad "making of" video:
Memi, Mirei and Miho are the stars of the show, for me. Note at about 0:50 how Memi leads the group's bow to staff (a Hiragana custom). Note how neat and exact her little jump is at about 1 minute.
Note at about 1:50 that she seems the most comfortable of the three front girls on the little trampoline. She says afterwards that it felt funny, but was fun. Is it possible that Memi, Miho and MeiMei are the most natural athletes in the group? Her strong legs give her a lot, even if they don't give her a model's line.
And at 2:05, she is the happiest-seeming when the three jump and say "happy!" At the end of shooting the commercial, she has her cute little conspiratorial side-glance for the camera. Much of the time, she seems particularly alert and observant, with a smile.
Takamoto, Suzuka, Memi and Miku will be featured in the January bis magazine. It's a fashion magazine aimed at girls in their earlier teens.
Nijika's blog has a pic of Nijika and Memi appreciating some flowers that were sent to them together. By whom, we have no idea. Memi's "resting" smile is the best. Interesting pairing. Memi could learn some dance from Nijika. And they are both actresses. Note the bunny pose.
By the way, I like Memi's lacy dress in this and the other flower pics. Is this the "street clothes" she wore that day?
