    Ah I see.

    "suspending activities" sounds alot more like a graduation than hiatus then. Otherwise they could have used the word "hiatus".

    Yo, her wish is more important than what a random guy on the internet wants.

    Honestly, I have no idea what kind of "idols who don't smile". It always sounds too BS to me. If you don't want to smile, don't try to become an idol. That's what I always think. I mean, idol is someone who makes his/her fan happy. So I don't want to feel more depressed while watching them.

    And it seems that she isn't the only member who don't want to follow Hirate's path. Didn't Kobayashi say the same thing in her interview?

    i'll be the third random guy in a row to share my not that important opinion, but i like groups that can show different sides with their performances.

    i hope keya keeps showing their happy and not so happy sides, and zuumin finally gets healthy

    "Yo" I'm not a guy...

    I'm a girl that happens to like keya the way it is. It's something different bin the idol world and I really love the music and dances

    I'm just going to jump in to say that "guy" is kind of used in a gender neutral way a good chunk of the time it's used.

    But, on the topic of "idols who don't smile," I think that Keyakizaka was never a group of "idols who don't smile" in the first place. While they're cool and they produce songs that are darker than typically expected of idols, I've never seen them as smile-less. 2 to 3 out of their 5 singles have been moderately happy songs. (depending on whether you count Futari Saison or not)

    I love their cool image. I don't want them to become normal idols who you can find anywhere. But, I don't want them to feel restricted by needing to be "smile-less" or whatever. Personally, I like seeing them smile. (Zuumin's smile is like a sun. Sunflower~)

    Kashiwagi - her name from her previous group, Smile Gakuen
    Imaizumi - her current name.
    She might have changed her name from Kashiwagi to Imaizumi, so I'm not really sure if that is considered nickname

    It's likely that Kashiwagi was a fake (stage) name but I'm pretty sure Nogi doesn't allow fake names so Keyaki is probably the same.

    Keyaki doesn't never smile. Nogizaka also releases about one song a year where they don't smile and were known for it before Keyaki smiled even less in their "no-smile songs", so "Was she expecting to be in a nogizaka type group?" doesn't really work as a response.

    Their tough expressions is said to be a part of the reason Fukyouwaon is such a straining song, it's literally hard to breathe with those expressions. Not overdoing the no-smile idol angle would be better for their health.

    "Was she expecting to be in a nogizaka46 type group died work as a response" esp since there has been more than ONE no smiling song and you just stated that nogi typically have one


    Some people on this board are so damn sarcastic and condescending. It's really annoying

    I don't know what you meant. You misquoted me. Nogi and Keyaki release the same number of "no smile" songs. By removing my "per year", you make it seem like Nogi has less.

    ~Imaizumi Theater~

    Hm, I think it might not have actually happened in real life. (Although since she got lost jogging with her bro... something similar could have happened lol)

    But, the bag had 12 kilograms of stuff. I dunno how far she walked in the story.
