    The livestream was amazing! Moeka performed some of her self-composed songs (including my favorite one Peter Pan, I love them all of course!) and she also did some covers that she already did on TikTok, and it was SO nice to hear her singing, her voice is beautiful! She was so nervous and it was too cute, there's also a funny moment when she couldn't open a bottle haha just adorable >.< and she looks classy and pretty with the ribbon in her hair! She played instruments live too! She prepared a lot for this ^^ it was so nice to see her again ;w; <3

    The livestream was both on TikTok and IG, it's the same video but from different angles (the sound quality is different in both too). I'll post both versions, enjoy Moeka's mini-concert :blush:

    Happy birthday Moeka! :ome:

    I'm so excited to see her face again as well ^^ I hope to hear official full studio versions of her music soon, available on like Spotify etc. She seems to have lost quite a bit of weight, so I hope she's okay and healthy! Her music and voice are amazing. I recently got into Nishino Kana, and I think Moeka's solo music sounds quite similar to that.

    This is Moeka's 7th self-composed song! The song doesn't have a title yet but it could be called Melon Soda XD She looks very pretty and cute with green clothes *-* She said on Twitter: "Since the lyrics have 'melon soda', I tried to have clothes with the color of melon. It's my favorite color this year, and when I noticed, everything around me is full of green!", and TikTok: "I'll complete this song when I get my macbook, with what kind of atmosphere should I arrange it~.. #TitleUndecided #OriginalSong #Songwriting #Guitar #YahagiMoeka #MelonSoda"

    004.jpg 005.jpg 006.jpg



    Bonus: on Moeka's birthday, Shinobu Mori who's the producer of idol shows including AKBINGO!, wished a happy birthday to Moeka with an old photo from the recording of AKBINGO! <3

    Moeka's TikTok page passed 50k followers and more than 250k likes! Her Youtube channel also passed 3000 subscribers a while ago (it still doesn't have videos, it will probably be like an artist channel for her future releases?). Congrats Moeka! Hope there will be more and more support for her <3 I don't think I mentioned it here yet; during her livestream for her birthday, Moeka talked about one of her dream which is to perform at the Nippon Budokan. She also expressed her dream for Kouhaku. She has very big dreams, she also worked so hard to learn instruments, improve her singing, and compose music, so she seems very serious about it, and I love all of her songs, so I really wish that she can be successful and achieve her dreams.



    Since her return, there have been some support/mentions from 48G members to Moeka!

    Murayama Yuiri and Yoshihashi Yuzuka (Draft 3rd gen, Moeka's friend) gave "likes" to Moeka's first video/photo after return:

    001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg

    During Moeka's birthday on 5th July, STU's Ikeda Yura (winner of the 3rd singing competition) said that she admires Moeka.
    (Ikeda talked about admiring Moeka before, read here!) Since it was Moeka's birthday, Ikeda sang Sustainable, watch here!

    In early July it was announced that Naachan joined Avex, and Naachan mentioned Moeka in her Youtube video, watch here! She said that she's happy that Moeka is in Avex too, and that when Moeka graduated, they promised to each other that they will sing together again someday ;w; This is touching because I remember how close they were, and even more at the last activities of Moeka in AKB, Moeka's final tweets before her 1,5 year hiatus were pictures of Naachan and with Naachan, from the finalist concert of the 2nd singing competition. I'm really happy that they're both in the same agency and that it will be possible for them to have a collab/duet again someday! Naachan mentioned Moeka once more to say that Moeka helped to pick Naachan's profile photo on her Youtube channel! Both of them are so close, it's so sweet <3



    3 days ago on 24th July, it was exactly 2 years since the very first performance of Sustainable! Those were such good times for me ;w; I really loved following Sustainable promo during summer and after, so many good memories! The music video also recently passed 7,3 million plays, it still increases all the time, I'm glad that this song receives a lot of love until now!

    I also wanted to say, Moeka still gives "likes" to pretty much every comment on her TikTok so don't hesitate to comment and show support! I also recently realized that she gave a "like" to my tweet that I made back in early June, where I linked all her singing videos (some links are dead now so I made an updated version), it surprised me because I didn't tag her account on the tweet (but I tagged her name). She really pays attention to fans :3 it makes me happy everytime I receive "likes" from her (which happened so many times now LOL).

Summer ✿ "Title Undecided" Songwriting and arrangement: Yahagi Moeka #OriginalSong #Summer". The background song in the video is her 7th self-composed song (the one with "melon soda" in the lyrics) I really like this song and the video is so nice and summery! Moeka looks so pretty with the hat! I noticed the part where we see her in a photoshoot, this isn't the first time we see that Moeka is doing photoshoots but so far we haven't seen photos. Looking forward to it! and I guess Moeka is also thinking of having a drivers license! Sometimes I forget that she's already 19 >.<

For this video she's singing a medley of her favorite flower-related songs! The songs are: "Hana ni Bourei" by Yorushika, "Hanataba wo Kimi ni" by Utada Hikaru, "Hanabira" by Back Number, and "Hana" by Orange Range. Her voice is so beautiful and all the songs are so nice especially the last one, Hana!

    Moeka wrote on Twitter: "I sang and danced! The sound of piano that is ringing quietly is so cute, please listen ☺" and the TikTok description: "I sang and danced myself!". There's also a hashtag with "Can you call me if you want to meet" which seems to be part of the song's lyrics! The song is "Memory" by Asmi, Moeka is the one singing in the video and dancing to it. To me, this is probably her cutest video so far, she is just adorable, I love the expressions she made and the cute dance and her singing voice *-* I took more screenshots than usual, haha!

    Yes what a coincidence LOL I'll try to be here to watch her live in around 15 hours from now, and hopefully it will be recorded by fans, for those who can't be here live or to rewatch it <3 I wonder what she will do in this live but probably it will be singing again? Since she revealed many new self-composed songs since the last TikTok live. Can't wait!



    Moeka's most recent TikToks!

    2021/08/01 [Link to TikTok]

    Moeka wrote on Twitter: "It's a new song! My favorite part is, the dragonfly that happened to be recorded!" and the TikTok description says: "I recorded a vlog with my new song! "Title Undecided" Songwriting and arrangement: Yahagi Moeka #OriginalSong #Vlog #Summer". This is Moeka's 8th self-composed song! At this point we are going to hear the 30+ songs that she composed, haha! and all of her songs are good, this one sounds more relaxing and a bit happy/nostalgic, someone said that this sounds like it could be in a commercial, I agree! The little vlog is really nice and very summery. I took 3 screenshots where we see Moeka, but the video has a lot of moments (including the dragonfly part) so make sure to watch it in full ;D

    001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg



    2021/08/03 [Link to TikTok]

    Moeka wrote on Twitter: "From a request! Today, I wrote lyrics for the whole day." and the TikTok description is: "Answering to a request after a long time~ What did you eat today?". The song was requested to Moeka by a fan, it's "Happy End" by Kamishiraishi Mone. it's a really nice song and Moeka sounds great! I love her smile! and I like Kamishiraishi Mone too. and the fact that Moeka spent a whole day writing lyrics really shows her passion for composing music. So glad that she decided to be a singer!

    004.jpg 005.jpg 006.jpg

    Moeka wrote on Twitter: "Souiya sa souiya sa!" (lyrics of the song in the TikTok) and the TikTok description says "What's going on with Latte-kun in the back...?". You can see Moeka's cat Latte-kun at the back of the video indeed XD Moeka is dancing here to a song called "Yowanehaki" by MAISONdes. Moeka looks so cute in this ;w; I like her hair and black clothes. A lot of fans said that she looks more adult here and gives a more mature feeling and I agree! She's so pretty!

    2021/08/09 Yahagi Moeka - TikTok Live


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    For those of you who missed it, or for anyone who wants to rewatch it! This is the full live stream (around 27 minutes long). I'm glad that someone recorded it, this was the only upload. Thankfully I watched it live, but I really wanted to rewatch it and save it >.< So I rewatched it now <3 Moeka talked and performed some songs, here are the times for when she sings:

    5:55 Melon Soda (unofficial title) - Yahagi Moeka's original song
    11:40 Koi wo Shita Kara - Aiymon
    22:00 Peter Pan - Yahagi Moeka's original song

    Her singing is so nice like always ;w; Even if she only did 3 songs, but I love all of them! Melon Soda is so easy to listen and enjoy <3 As for her cover of Aiymon's Koi wo Shita Kara, that's not the first time we hear Moeka singing it! For those who might remember, back in January 2020, she uploaded IG Stories where she was singing it, I posted about it here! You can listen to her old cover of the song here! She said during the live stream that it's been a while that she didn't sing the song and it's nostalgic, and she also mentioned about the IG Stories back then so she remembers it too ^^ I love the song so I'm glad to hear Moeka sing it again! and lastly Peter Pan, my favorite song among all of Moeka's original songs ;w; when Moeka asked which song she should sing, she said that she's happy because a lot of comments asked for her original songs. Yes Moeka, we love your original songs *-*

    She also talked a lot during the stream, she answered to some questions. She talked about her hair being a little longer. She said that this time she did a stream with the guitar since last time it was with the piano (there's a cute/funny moment at the end at 25:30 with the guitar where it fell, her expression LOL). She talked about how she worked during her hiatus to have something to present to her fans! I think she said that Melon Soda is one of her favorites among her self-composed songs. Overall she smiled and laughed a lot, it was a great live <3

    I wonder when we will have any information about Moeka's solo debut ;w; I wonder when Avex will announce something. Maybe the plan is to let her upload her songs online for a while until she's ready to debut. I want the full versions of her songs T_T if she composed more than 30 then she has enough for 3 albums or 7-8 singles! Let's hope the debut is for 2021!

    Some screenshots of the TikTok live stream:

    Moeka wrote on Twitter: "It's a new original song! What kind of title should I give it~?" and the TikTok description is: "Cute love song~ "Title Undecided" Songwriting and arrangement: Yahagi Moeka #OriginalSong". This is Moeka's 9th self-composed song! When I first watched the video, I didn't read yet that this was her own song, so I really thought that it's a cover, however it's her original song! (I thought this for some of her other original songs too LOL) she's really good at making music, her songs are so nice... I hope more people can listen <3

    2021/08/27 Instagram update: "It's late but by the way~!!!!! I went on the tour that I have been waiting for a really long time~~. I keep waiting and waiting for it. 'Senso wo Shiranai Otonatachi' made my heart squeaky. Everything was good~. To put it to music and to 'deliver what you want to deliver', I realized once again how cool it is. Wonderful. #MyHairisBad".
