Good evening.

A few days ago, it was announced that Kakizaki Memi of Hinatazaka46 would graduate, and Hamagishi Hiyori would go on hiatus.

Memi-chan entered Hiragana Keyaki as a member of the first generation, so we have been working together since the early days.

When I heard she was graduating, I was shocked.
Even now I still don't want to believe it.

I wanted to carefully write all about her, and there ended up being so much that it never seemed to end.


When we were rehearsing together,
And when I watched her programs, her professional consciousness seemed so strong.

When I went to see the stage play Magia Record,
I remember being moved to the bottom of my heart by the way she had memorized such a huge amount of script, and by how she went out and boldly sang and acted.

I was able to work hard together with her as a member of the same Team Blue in Zambi.

In the fight scene, she really slammed into me, but I was able to withstand it.
At that time, the straight-ahead feeling in her eyes was overpowering.

She's an extremely hard worker and so cute. I respect her.

When Hiragana Keyaki became independent as Hinatazaka,
At out last joint mini-live at a national handshake event,
We had a little wind-up party.

Through our tears, we took a photo together
I remember it still.






I wish I had spoken with her more.
Maybe there was something I could have done.
I think about all kinds of things like this.
But I will support her courageous choice.

Memi has enormous potential and everyone loves her, so I have confidence that whatever world she enters she will shine.

For the time we worked together,
Truly, thank you a lot.

I will support Memi-chan from now on with all my heart.

...

Sugai

The sprout emoticon in the title and toward the end refers to Memi's name. The kanji for Memi 芽実 mean "sprout" and "fruit." The idea in her parents' minds was that she was a flower: the stage in a plant's life that comes between the sprout and the fruit. This emoticon is frequently used by fans as a short form of Memi's name, particularly in handshake reports.

From all reports in recent blog posts and messages from people who worked with her, Memi is a very, very hard worker. And the overpowering force of her eyes Yukka mentions is what I have always seen in her: she acts with the force of her eyes. Dare I say, this is like Hirate, who also has that power in her eyes.

What a waste that Memi and management and the group were not able to find the right way to bring her to the fore and display all her talents and personality to the world before it was time for her to move on. Perhaps Memi herself will find that way now.

High boots,   346

Hello.

How are you!
I recently bought some cute high boots,
But bit by bit the rain has stopped.

Maybe the rainy season is over....



A few days ago, it was announced
That I have been given a graduation event:
"Giving Thanks with All My Might Day."


From little children to adults,
Women and men...as many people as possible,
I'm hoping it will be an event I can enjoy with all of you.
I'm right in the midst of thinking about all this with the entire Keyakizaka team.


I will talk about the details
When they are released!



Pre-sales to fan-club members
Have begun,
Going from today until July 1st.

Since this will be my last event,
I would be happy if you wanted to come.



Also, Memi's graduation has been announced.

Miss Memi...
Thank you for everything you've done.
You have given your all for a very long time!
To start, let's have another long soak, maybe even at a hot spring.
 
Memi
Is the precious friend
Who comes up and collapses against me to be petted.

From now on
Let's go to all kinds of places,
Look at all kinds of things,
And talk about all kinds of subjects!






Left, by Miss Memi. Right, by Miss Neru.



May Memi -- and everyone in the world -- have good fortune!
(If possible, including me!!!)



Thank you for reading.

Nagahama Neru

Close friends. During the first Hiragana event, their Omotenashikai, Neru was beside herself with worry that they were not well enough prepared. Backstage, when Neru was so nervous she seemed out of control, the naturally calm Memi came up and put her cheek against Neru's, to calm her with skinship. Neru was the origin of Hiragana Keyaki, and helped Memi a lot. But Memi's calm and straightforward nature has given Neru something, too.





There is no doubt at all that Memi consulted Neru about graduating. During the time she must have been deciding, she stayed with Neru at least once (March 11-12) and spent at least a day and maybe another night with her (around April 9). This I base on posts in their Keyaki Message accounts. 

There are two schools of thought going around on 5channel: that Neru has led Memi astray; and that Neru has been a rock of support for Memi. Of course, I follow the latter school. I am a fan of all the Nerus, including the tricky tanuki. Neru's intelligence, independence, and drive are great resources for Memi. And their mutual affection serves them both.

Like others, I hope that Neru can invite Memi to be part of her graduation event, and that Memi will be able to take part. If the "entire Keyakizaka team" is thinking about the event, then perhaps Hirate will be there.

Idol

Good evening, everyone (。・ω・)ノ゙
It's Takase Mana

Kakizaki Memi's graduation and Hamagishi Hiyori's hiatus have been announced.

Hiyo-tan
Hiyo-tan is really an honest kid, everyone's little sister, someone who sees everything around her and is kind to people.
With her continuing poor health, even when she was able to take part in activities, she sometimes had to rest. But she continued to do her very best.

Speaking personally, for Kyun she was in the position next to me and always made me laugh!
When she was not able to take part in lives or TV recording, I felt quite lonely.
With Hiyo-tan not there, we change our positioning a bit to fill the gap, and for bigger performances we make changes in our movements.
Hiyo-tan should not worry but just relax and rest, so that when she returns she will be able to perform and able to work even harder.
Hiyo-tan's place will be here for her whenever she returns. We'll wait for you!
Since you've decided on a hiatus, I want you to rest properly and become better, and return with your usual smiling face.



And then, Memi.

Ahh...honestly, I don't know what to write, or how.




When we first met at the auditions, it already seemed to me that you might be fated to be my friend.
Memi thought I was younger and spoke to me, and after we were accepted we were part of the "regions" group and stayed in a hotel together for several months. Thinking about it now, I realize that we have spent a lot of time together from the beginning.



We were partners in Re:Mind.
In the dressing room or on a bus, Memi would point to a seat beside her and say: "Takase's here."
And she would hint encouragement to me in her blog.
I haven't had the chance to say this to her directly, but it all made me so happy.

When she was in her rebellious phase, I really didn't know what to do. When it came to an end Takase was quite relieved.

She was still young, but would always hold firm to her own ways of thinking, which were always well thought out.
For that reason, I think her decision to graduate has also been well thought out.

I have been close to Memi, and have been well aware of her feelings, and of the changes in her mind and body. Being an idol is not an easy job, so it was not a simple thing to try to stop her from resigning.
Of course it's lonely. I don't want her to resign. There are more things I want to do with her, to fulfill with her. But I want to send her off with a smile and no worries!

When the announcement was made, I contacted you and said: "Really, I'm just sad." "You're being unusually honest," you replied. I thought how great it would be if we could continue to talk this naturally, in our normal way.

I never, ever thought Memi would be the first to graduate.
When she resigned, I felt nostalgic for the time when we all talked about resigning together.
I knew it was impossible, but at that time I somehow thought that none of us would ever graduate.

But I suddenly realize it is already more than three years since we became members of Hiragana Keyaki, and that our chances to all perform together are gradually disappearing.
I think it's an amazing thing that we have all come along together this far.

Over such a long period of time, the atmosphere of the group has changed, too, and graduation has become a natural thing.
However, the fact that Nagaru and Memi were there and part of Hiragana Keyaki, that will never change, and I hope will never be forgotten.

It makes me sad to think that I will have just about no more chance to work with Memi the idol again.
But since we have an appointment to go out to eat right away, rather than feeling sad, right now my optimistic feelings of wanting the ordinary girl Memi to enjoy her life are stronger!

I expect to be a close friend of Memi's when we are both old ladies.

Finally, since I was told to praise you a lot, I will give you some praise.
You have worked very hard. Thank you for your effort.
That you were accepted into Hiragana Keyaki; that you drew Hiragana Keyaki forward; that you worked so hard in Hinatazaka, as well...for all these I thank you.
I feel as if I could say "thank you" to you over and over again and never stop.

I never thought I would meet someone in my life I could be such close friends with.

When we meet someone, we don't know when we will part...

So from now on, as well, every moment is important.
I wanted to tell you what I think before I regretted never having said it.

I hope that Memi's time as an idol will be at least a bit of an enjoyable memory.
Thank you for being my partner!





To Hiyo-tan and to Memi, all the best from now on!


Thank you for reading to the end.

AKB48 Asia Festival 2019 akan Digelar Kembali, Kali ini AKB48 Team SH Jadi Tuan Rumah


Pada pertunjukan teater CKG48 semalam (22/06/2019), telah diumumkan satu anggota baru. Hal ini sangat mengejutkan penggemar karena satu persatu anggota SHY48 dan CKG48 yang lama bergabung ke grup dari Chongqing itu. Anggota tersebut adalah Zhang YouNing yang merupakan eks SHY48 generasi pertama.

Zhang Youning merupakan anggota orisinal Tim HIII. Namun, karirnya di SHY48 sangatlah sebentar. Ia bergabung pada Februari 2017 tetapi beberapa bulan saja ia langsung memutuskan untuk hiatus. Tak disangka, gadis yang kerap dipanggil Ningmeng ini malah bergabung dengan CKG48 padahal ada di barisan hiatusnya SHY48.

Bagaimanapun penggemar menyambut baik anggota yang non populer SNH48 GROUP ke CKG48. CKG48 yang sekarang lebih sering tampil di luar berusaha menunjukkan eksistensinya meski tidak diizinkan mengikuti SNH48 6th General Election. Tetapi para penggemar mulai lebih menaruh perhatian ke Chongqing48 ini.

Important announcement

Kakizaki Memi
2019.06.21  18:00h


This is Kakizaki Memi.

Today I have something to announce to everyone.

I apologize for the suddenness of this,
But with the activities for the 1st single
I will be graduating from Hinatazaka46.

Since around April I have been unable to get my mind and body in balance, and have been allowed many absences from work.

I am truly sorry for the great trouble and worry I have caused the fans who support me, the members of Hinatazaka46, and staff of various organizations.

In the time off I have received, I have thought a lot about things up to now and about the future.

Thinking about my friends and about my future, university and so on,
Thinking about my own life,
I have chosen to graduate.

I will give full thought from now on to my path forward after graduation.

I was in third-year middle school when I entered Hiragana Keyaki,
And now I'm suddenly in the third year of high school.

It seems like the time has passed in a flash.
No matter what part I look at, it's packed with memories. It's like a dream.

There were fun things and bitter things. It was a tremendously important life experience.



And I love all the members with whom I have run together through these three years.
They are like family,
And will be my life-long treasure.

Thank you very much also to Neru, who created Hiragana Keyaki,
And to Keyakizaka46.
I will love you forever.


And to all those who have supported me up to now,
It's because you were all there that I have been able to pass this wonderful time.

Truly, thank you very much.

I love idols.
I have received much power and spirit from them, and will be happy from the bottom of my heart if I have been an existence of that kind for anyone.


My thanks are unending to the staff who have been beside us,
Supporting us and training us up to this point,
And to everyone involved.

I want to convey my thanks to all concerned.


As for my activities after this, I think staff will announce them as they are arranged.

There is only a little time left, but I want to fulfil my idol life right to the end.

Please continue to support Hinatazaka46 from now on!


Kakizaki Memi

I will talk about all this as time goes by. For now, I will just mourn, while believing this to be the best thing for Memi. Over the past few weeks of doubt and confusion, I have gotten used to the possibility this could happen. But I will also look forward to the possibility that Memi may reappear in the entertainment world. Either sooner or later. 

The final event for the 1st single is scheduled to be an individual handshake event in Aichi on 11 August. Whether Memi will take part in handshake remains to be seen. She will not be taking part in the handshake event this Saturday. Will she return to HinaAi? We don't know, although her statement about carrying out her idol life to the end suggests it's possible. Neru is scheduled to graduate 14 July. The announcement was also made that Hamagishi Hiyori will be taking an indefinite hiatus, starting immediately, for health reasons.

There was an announcement in the Hinatazaka official news, as well as Memi's blog post.

The photo was not in the original post.
