With Manatsu's upcoming graduation, I was thinking about 3ki inheriting Nogizaka. The eldest members are all 3ki. Ayatii, Denchan, Ume. Then Ayane-chan! Before 5ki arrived, Renka was the 2nd youngest member. Fifteen 4ki were older than her. If I am counting it correctly, I think she'll also be the youngest at Nogi Shrine for this year's seijinshiki! Renka will eternally be the youngest.
18 Yoda 18 Momoko 20 Kubo 20 Yamashita 21 Renka 21 Ume 22 Denchan 22 Riria 23 Tamachan 33 Renochan Hazuki and Ayatii when? Soon, please.
Took me a while to realize that the numbers meant the number of the single the 3ki member was in. hehe Cheers!

Third wind still blowing strong after all these years! Happy Anniversary! Here's to 7 sparkling years!
It's amazing that seven years have passed and only one graduation so far. Congratulations! More years of creating great memories together.
Am so attached to Nogi's 3ki. I still remember watching the last episode of Nogibingo 8 and seeing them overcome the final challenge gave me feelings like that of a proud parent/teacher seeing someone they have been nurturing succeed. Happy anniversary, 3ki! Cheers!

^ Yaku Niku San Shi mai! I like how they posted it on 11/29 and called it いい肉の日! I'm all down for it!
^Every 29th of the month (nikyu “niku”) meat is discounted at grocery stores and select yakiniku restaurants. So take advantage whenever you can!
This article in Model Press on twin tail day about a list of celebrities that look good in twin tails: https://mdpr.jp/news/4178321 I'm bothered by the rankings for the 2 Nogi members who made the top 20. Yoda at 10 and Riria at 11. Yeah, Yoda is quite cute in twin tails, but it's Riria thing! I can't imagine Riria without twin tails. I guess it's a popularity thing, so I'm glad to see that Riria ranked in, but IMHO first and foremost of all Nogi members in twin tails is Riria.
With Mizuki's graduation announcement, is 3rd Gen going top down in their dismantlement? Is it going to be YAC to close it out?!?! I would be laughing if I weren't crying....
I was thinking about the fate of 3rd Gen with Mizuki's impending graduation. When Maiyan graduated, there was still 12 1ki in 2020. Manatsu was the last and she, for all intents and purposes, graduated a full 2 years after Maiyan. Two years. When Miona graduated, there was still 8 2ki in 2021. Ayane was the last and she graduated a full 2 years after Miona -- both had their graduation on the 2nd Gen anniversary date. Still two years. Do you think 3ki will also be fully graduated in two years? I've always thought that since 3ki took pride at being the longest (for now) tight knit generation, that they would go on forever. I know that I am delusional, but I truly like this generation. Two years will go by fast.
I have a special affinity for 3ki as well seeing them grow up from the early days in Nogichuu to their Nogibingo 8 appearance. Watching that last episode of Nogibingo 8 where they had to tackle a cheer version of Taiyou Knock just gave me somewhat a proud parent/teacher moment. It was excruciating for me when Momoko graduated since she is my oshi in that generation and to think that there won't be any more 3ki in Nogizaka in two years if they follow the previous generations's pattern seems exceptionally painful...
