Kakizaki Memi doing more gravure

There has been very little gravure of Memi up to now. That seems to be changing, however, now that Hinatazaka has entered the big leagues with their first single. And now that Memi is within 7 months of being 18.

Bis magazine:

As Xiphyas says on Stage48, she looks like a baroque painting...one by François Boucher, it seems to me....

And here she's your sister, or the girl next door

Seventeen features the under-18s: (l-r) Miku, Hina, Hiyo-tan, Nao, Hinano, Memi

As many comments say, Hinatazaka's future looks bright. You'll notice that in their Kyun outfits, these six wear white vests, while the older members wear dark blue.

UTB+ features Memi, Miho and Hinano:

Memi seems so calm.

The elf princess

And there are other features out there:

Katoshi, Memi, Kyouko

Nao, Memi, Miipan, Katoshi featured in Souen magazine

BOMB magazine:

Not to forget the Memi-Kyouko feature in EX Taishuu:

Memi is not posting to her Message much, and hasn't posted to her blog for over two months. I think and hope she is maintaining her sanity by not thinking of the Ohisamas 24 hours a day, and by getting some private time to be a 17-year-old anime/game/idol ota -- and now back studying, in third-year high school.

But she did post to Message on April 1. First she said she hadn't mentioned it before, but she was actually born on Hokkaido. Fans spent the next hour scrambling around looking for information, then she posted: "No, that was a lie. April fool!"

Lol. This is the Memi who cavorted around in Kyouko's Showroom, hugging her from behind and tickling her. And the Memi who rushes up to Miho and sticks a finger in her ear, then runs away laughing. Members think of her as mature and realistic. But her father said when she was accepted into Hiragana: "I hope they realize how young she really is." And a free spirit.
