Hirate Yurina (Techi) / Keyakizaka46 1st Generation

From a tweet by suzumong:



@Xiphyas -- The most recent encounter I know of between Keyaki and Ishikawa-san was last year, in PLUG magazine vol.51, reported in Neru's blog on 14 November. From my blog post mentioning it, here's a quote from Yass-san, talking about Neru: "...modest and intellectual, completely unchanged from even before her debut: loving her home town, the Gotou Islands; loving fiction; interested in art; a cultural type of idol." Nothing about being a fan, exactly, but he likes the group, anyway, and Neru in particular.

Mechakari (one of Stripe's brands) has supported Keyakizaka since before its debut, and started supporting Hinatazaka not long after they were formed (and Neru was still with them).

People are commenting about Techi wearing the Kuroi Hitsuji uniform to perform SaiMajo.

So many awards and exposure for Tecchan lately. I hope she perceives it as the way people appreciate her talent and not as a pressure. Congratulations baby otter!

it’s just her tongue ... why all the closeups

 

lol I think it's because it seems like it's a habit she has when she's nervous.

 

because its cute

 

I mean at the top of the post..it’s just 4 close ups of the same image, zooming into her tongue. it’s kinda creepy to me LOL

 

And the winner is...

I guess it will be hard for me to read the full Rockin Japan's interview, even the summary is enough to make me wanna cry, all the feeling / pressure Techi had to endure in 2018, its just too much. I'm glad she seems overcome them and bright again.

Her talk also light me that the dance routine for 7th and 8th is different than from 1st to 6th. Those first 6 single, center position did solo a lot, even though there is 3 rows, it seems like 4 rows in reality in which center stands alone in the 1st row. Because Techi is the type who endure all by herself, it weight more on her shoulder. Then TAKAHIRO sensei changed to a new kind of dance routine with more interact between center and other girls, i believe that it somehow help to decrease the pressure on Techi and make her realize that she can rely on her sisters. I hope they will countinue with this kind of dance routine in 9th and those next singles. It do not only help the center but also give place for other girls to shine.

 

Hello,everyone, is there a video that shows Techi receiving that award?.
I would love to watch it!.
And did she appeared in some variety shows or showrooms recently?.
Could you tell me the names, please?.
I´m a bit lost.

 

Hi! Here is a cut version with her entrance and speech (the full version can't be uploaded). Enjoy.

I have already read Rockin' on Japan sumary. It is heartbreaking when Techi said: "so I decided to comeback to Keyaki. I also thought I had to comeback ...atst I had a feeling like but..". She had a lot of pressure and wanted to leave but at the end choose to stay. And recently I can see her smile more and more, in other member's blog, in picture, awards... A new Techan in new period TT-TT Cant hold my tears ...
