    Miichan was a guest on New York's YouTube radio show

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    She shows up at the 36 minute mark.

    It's kinda funny how different her 'official' fashion (what she wears on TV shows) vs. her casual style is.
    I personally think her casual style is more stylish :)

    I'm guessing Shimasa-san is the blonde one as I think I've seen Miichan together with the other in other programs before.
    The blonde one got kinda really annoyed when they lost in that skit competition to Miichan and Rennachi.


    Miichan had an interview with AERA and the reporter brought an old issue with AKB on the cover
    Miichan said it was too embarrassing

    the old article had two questions:
    1. What do you want to be in the future?
    2. What do you think will happen in 5 years?

    Miichan's answer to the first question was that she wanted to be a person like SMAP's Nakai being able to sing, dance and lead a variety show. even if she can't be a #1 idol she wanted to be able to work in entertainment for a long time

    well, we can put a solid checkmark behind that :)

    het answer to the second question was that she was doing various things instead of specialising in something.

    I think that's Miichan's strength, but also a bit of a weakness, she can support anything, but people will not easily let her 'carry' something.

    Miichan in the fanclub after telling su about the interview and showing us the pictures of the old issue
    I think I remember she was, for a bit ;)

    Turns out Miichan has an agony aunt column where people ask her guidance/counsel
    https://nonno.hpplus.jp/article/98486

    [​IMG]
    I know during the No3b's ANN shows they quite often answered questions fro listeners, but as all three were so young at that time they didn't really feel qualified to answer if it was a really serious question.
    Btw, we all know it was Naachan who didn't want to say Miichan :)

    website says vol.1, so I assume there will be more instalments


    Miichan's manager revealed this in the fanclub this morning
    Miichan will be a special guest at the Man Pan Star event.
    The post also had a link to a special ticket reservation page for fanclub members
    [​IMG]

    there was a livestream earlier today
    (and that has been set to private again ....)

    ok, after skimming through the stream, it's not exactly an highbrow event ... pingpong ball ... there ... really?

    Miichan hastened to reassure the members of the fanclub

    I suspect there was a big reveal on Shuffle Island, don't ask me how I came to that conclusion ;)
    [​IMG]

    Miichan mentioned she ran into Sasshii at the TV Station during work (no idea if they were in the same program)
    She did not take pics though ....

    Manager in the fanclub
    isn't it special they invited Miichan and Nyannyan as pinch hitters? :)


    Miichan was quite active in the fanclub just now
    People were saying Nyannyan and Miichan should call Takamina ...
    And Miichan being back to her negative self said that when people tell her to call someone she thinks maybe she's not interesting enough
    (cue fans telling her hearing Miichan's voice is all they want, and also apologising ;) )
    She sounded a bit down, she said she doesn't have the chance to see her friends as she's often in Okazaki, she also said she got fat ....

    otoh she went for some pretty expensive sushi with Kyary-chan and Kato Ryo-kun. She paid for it herself, usually Testuya pays it seems


    Stumbled upon this

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    seeing Yuiyui but clearly hearing Miichan ... weird

    As said before Miichan will appear at a live event with 4 male comedians
    I also said it did not seem to be very highbrow ;)
    It seems even for Japanese standards, Miichan and her manager made it clear that she would no do something the fans won't like and Miichan was told by the leader of those four they would protect her.
    Miichan and Nyanyan filled in for Akimoto-sensei

    I seems there will be a fan club live event on 4 March .....
    Co-incedentally that's my birthday, so it makes me a bit sad, I'll never be able to attent :(


    Miichan went on one of her Instagram story posting sprees
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I think her dresses are getting slightly less quirky and more stylish
    She's still blossoming though :)

    the tweet has a video

    It seems Arai-san was a bit worried Miichan would be hurt or offended, but I think Miichan has put that far behind her, it can't touch/hurt her anymore.

    Tetsuya and Miichan did an Instagram live yesterday
    https://twitter.com/January56789/status/1619022873276067840
    video in the link

    Miichan is in Poland, I had some trouble making out Wroclaw and Warsaw (and Tetsuya saying Wroclaw ;) ) ;)

    [​IMG]
    Miichan has that somewhat dumb grin you have when you see someone you really really like ;)
    (btw, she's travelling without her manager, but she does know the makeup and hair artist)

    btw, one of the things I like about Testuya is, he's his own thing, he doesn't show off Miichan as his trophy wife, Miichan has her career, he has his, if they appear together it's as equals.

    Miichan's manager just explained that due to budgetary constraints only one person could accompany each talent for this trip and also the rest of the staff was kept to a bare minimum.
    So it was decided Miichan's makeup artist should go as the manager was indebted to her.
    Yesterday Miichan and Nidaira Yuki explored Warsaw, today is a shooting day.
    (he also posted a video of the behind the scenes of the photoshoot for nonno .... which I wish I could share with you all)

    Well, it seems Miichan got drunk during the radio show .... a little drunk, very drunk, I have no idea :)
    Anyway they look like just two normal girls having a conversation

    https://twitter.com/popbelop/status/1619611647504691200
    btw, Miichan was up at 6am this morning :eek:

    after shooting Miichan had time do do some more sightseeing
    [​IMG]

    there was a small ice rink on the square, if this was the Netherlands she'd be drinking a cup of hot choco, but I have no idea what the traditional drink for it is in Poland
    (Christmas lights were still up)
    source: instagram

    ow, btw, I saw a clip a radio show last week and I heard someone laughing in the studio that sounded a lot like Mouri-san.
    Seeing how he was always on Miichan's side during @Jam I'm again wondering what his role is

    Miichan mixed up Seiya-san with Tetsuya :D
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
    Note: the 31 on the ferris wheel ;)


    Seiya responded
    https://twitter.com/simofuriseiyam/status/1619900931373686785
    miichan quickly responded
    https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1619909055170088960
    for sure Tetsuya will tease her with this, during the instagram live she asked Tetsuya what his plans were for Saturday and he responded 'I can't tell, it's for a video' .... to which Miichan responded 'ah, you're having an affair' ;)


    it kinda makes me wonder what would happen if Tetsuya appeared on Sayonara Mouri-san, how will the AKB members react? :/

    Maybe I'll explain some stuff as person from Warsaw by generations.

    It was ice ring in the market of Old Town Market (Warsaw's Old Town is part of UNESCO heritage as totally restored area after total destruction of WW2). Interesting fact - this ice ring has been built around statue of seiren, which is sybol of Warsaw.

    EDIT: About Miichan's drink - it's hot wine named "grzaniec". It's red wine with cloves, citruses and other spices. In Poland we have several versions of grzaniec: wine, mead and beer. Personally my fav is hot mead :awesome:

    I know that it's a joke, but for real this 31 is a part of poster of 31st final of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Aid(Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy). During this event year by year people are collecting money and this money are used to buy specialistic devices for Polish hospitals. If You have some Polish friends around, probably they're supporting this event as expats - there are many co-events around whole world organised by Polish expats.

    But in back to Miichan's stuff: She stayed in Novotel in city center and it's possible really to realise that it's a budget trip, because this hotel is rarely used by Japanese business (more popular are Hilton, Westin and Radisson Blu).

    Also I could realise her makeup artist is Polish, so it's another reason why she has travelled with her. From their Instastories we can see that during Monday's evening they've visited some Sushi restaurant in Wilanów District.

    BTW: She is the 2nd AKB48 graduated member who has visited Warsaw. First was Oshima Yuko in 2014, when she has visited her friend here.

    Still the only active 48 group member who has visited Warsaw remains Jennis from BNK48 in 2019.

    The details of the fan club meeting event on 4 March has been published
    [​IMG]
    it seems they are really going for a Cafe feel :)

    wow, the people who win the lottery will really feel special (it's not cheap though)
    but there will be an online distribution it seems (¥ 1,500 about 11 euro)

    Miichan was guest/MC at the after party of 悪い芝居 (bad play) together with Shio Mika, a friend who preformed
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    It seems Miichan has attended every play the company put up since Shio Mia joined them.
    source: https://twitter.com/waruishibai/status/1621499734333734917

    the fanclub had a video of the two, Miichan was obviously enjoying herself :D

    ow, and it was twin tails day

    I watched the Abema show where Miichan appeared as teacher earlier today.
    She talked about the scandal(s) of course, but she also talked about how about around 2012 when AKB won the Japan Music Award(?) she thought she did not have the right to cry as she thought she did not add anything to the group.
    She mentions Kami-7 pulling the group being almost exclusively responsible for the success.

    For sure a lot of people might agree with that but in my personal opinion AKB was so much more than just the Kami-7 and Miichan completely glosses over the fact that for many talk segments she was brought along owing to her variety/talk skills.
    (and most big concert MC's have either Miichan or Sasshii, or both)
    Also, Miichan was one of the pillars of AKBingo imho.

    heck even right after she got demoted AKS still put her on several Mechaike programs

    but I guess ... it's Miichan, being negative again, still love her though ;)

    Sometimes we get glimpses of Miichan's married life ;)
