Best surprise for me. Ume is kinda expected but I thought Riria would be next in line. So happy for her after centering 3rd gen, straight to fukujin. So young, summer fits her well. She's gonna have blast.
Can't wait to see Rentan in senbatsu. I'm so surprised when she was called. Yes, her bright personality fits summer well.
Renka's blog update Monday 2nd July Spoiler: ありがとうございます Thank you so much おつかれんたん╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ Good day╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ 乃木坂工事中で選抜発表がありました。 The senbatsu members had been announced on Nogizaka Koujichu 初めて選抜入りしてすごく嬉しいです。 福神という素晴らしい立ち位置にも感謝しています。 I'm so happy to be in senbatsu for the first time Not to mention being in the Fukujin, such a wonderful place to be, and I am very grateful for that 私が選抜入りして色んなことを思うファンの方も 多いと思います。 I'm sure a lot of fans have many things to say about me being in the senbatsu 私自身、自信があるわけでは決してありません。 本当に自信はないです。 I, myself, by no means have the confidence to be in senbatsu Not in the slightest 自分は本当にダメだって日頃から思います。 こんな私がキラキラ輝いてる人達の中に いていいのかなって。 I always thought that I don't deserve it Is it really okay for me to be among those who shine brightly? I thought to myself 今も実感がなくて、頭が混乱しててパニックな状態です。 Even now I still can't believe that I'm in senbatsu, and there's a lot of things going on in my head right now that's really making me panic すぐにブログをあげよう思ってたけど、 いざ書こうと思ったら何からどう書いていいのか 分からなくて、どういう気持ち?って聞かれたら 答えられない、いま、自分がどんな気持ちか 分からないです。 I was going to write a blog as soon as possible, but When I was about to write, I don't know what to write about or from where should I write I just don't know, even if you asked me how do I feel about entering senbatsu I can't answer it, right now, I don't really know what I feel about it 前回あげたブログのコメントを見て たくさんの方から おめでとう、というコメントがあってファンの方の支えがなかったら 今頃どうなってたのかなって考えさせられます。 Looking at the last blog's comment section A lot of people saying their congratulations, without the support of all of you fans I wonder if I can even go this far ファンの方からのコメントは素直に嬉しいです。 本当に本当にありがとうございます。 I am sincerely delighted for all of those comments Thank you, thank you so much すごくふわっとしてしまってますが、 文章にこの気持ちを表そうと思ったら ぴったりなものがなくて、すみません。 I know this is a poorly written blog post If you come here to find out about my feelings entering the senbatsu And can't find any of it here, I'm deeply sorry でも、これから本当に頑張っていくので 暖かい目で見守ってくださったら嬉しいです。 Yet, I will be doing my best from here on If you could just bear with me, that would be great よろしくお願いします。ありがとうございます。 Thank you very much * ⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒⌒ * 切り替えて... セブンマイルプログラムのWebCMが公開されました! Changing the topic... 7 Mile Program Web CM has been released ででん!かわいい!この衣装! CAみたいな衣装は初めてだったのでウキウキ♡ Ta-dah! This costume! So cute! It was my first time wearing a flight attendant costume, so exciting なんか、撮影も照明が暗めでボックスの中で 踊りました!不思議な世界観で楽しかったです! Somehow, the lighting for the shoot was kinda dark And we danced in a box! It's like we're in a strange world, it was so fun! まだ見てない方は是非見てくださいね〜☆ If you haven't watch it yet, make sure you watch it soon〜☆ ではでは、ここら辺で。 Well then, that's it for now またねっ☆彡.。 Till next time☆彡.。
Renka's blog update Monday 9th July Spoiler: なんとか、!!We made it somehow!! おつかれんたん╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ Good day╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ 前髪止めてるぜよ( ̄▽ ̄) Held my bangs nicely ( ̄▽ ̄) 6th YEAR BIRTHDAY LIVE! 昨日で無事に終了しました〜✨ 6th YEAR BIRTHDAY LIVE! It ended yesterday without any problem〜✨ はづきち。 Hazukichi 史上初の2会場同時開催ということで ほんとうに未知でした... It was the first time in our history performing in 2 stages at the same time 「恐怖」「不安」 この2つは最後までついてきました。 "Fear" "Worry" These two words lingered in my head until the end 多分ですが、みなさんが思ってるよりも何倍も 大変だと。 Perhaps it's way more than you would thought How hard it was 会場が違うため、マイクを変えなきゃいけないとかその変えるタイミングも難しいし、 神宮と秩父宮は作りが違うから同じ曲でも 場所とか違うし、、 Since we performed in 2 places, we had to change our mics and the timing for the change was hard In Jingu and in Chichinomiya, though we sang the same song, our appearance was different Or in different places 三日間だから全部で6個のセットリスト を覚えました笑笑 It was a 3 days live so there was 6 setlists And I memorized it all lol lol だから今は無事に終わってよかったよかった です笑 That's why I'm really glad now that we managed it without any problem lol 移動する時、めっちゃ急な階段と少し距離のある ところをダッシュだったので足が痛い。。 それと、ヒールだったからマメできた笑笑 When we moved to places, there were steep stairs and it was quite a distance So we have to dash ourselves to get there, and it made my foot hurt Plus, wearing heels made me get blisters lol lol 大変だったけど初めてのことをしてるって思うと ワクワクした( ¨̮ ) It was tough, but since it was the first time It was pretty exciting やって良かったなぁって思ってます! I'm just glad I got to experience it 2会場合わせて6万人のファンの方に来ていただいてたそうなんです!!( °_° )!! With both stages together, seems like 60 thousand fans came to watch us!!( °_° )!! 単純計算だと3日で18万人...すごい。。 In 3 days, roughly 180 thousand people... Amazing... 2会場なのに埋まるってすごいことだし有り難いことですね It's really amazing to think that the 2 stages got filled up so much, I'm very grateful for that 三日目のアンコールでは、21stシングルの 新曲、 The encore for the 3rd day, We performed the 21st single's new song 「ジコチューで行こう!」を 初披露させていただきました!!!! "Jikochuu de ikou!" The first time we perform it!!!! はぁぁぁ。緊張した! この曲のダンス楽しくて仕方がないんです笑 Aaaah, I was so nervous! The dance in this song is so fun I can't help it lol 来ていただいた方はとっても盛り上がって くれてて、幸せでした♡ The people that came was so lively Such a happy day まだみてない!って人はいつか披露するので その時に目に焼き付けてください笑 For those who haven't watched it, we'll surely perform it someday When that day come, be sure to burn it deep in your memory lol 明るくて楽しい曲です\^^/ It's such a bright and fun song \^^/ そして、ちーちゃんと伊織さんは 最後のライブでしたね、 And, for Chi-chan and Iori-san It was their last live 悲しくて寂しくて。。 It's sad and I will really miss them 最後にこうやってみんなでライブができて ほんとにほんとに良かったです But to perform this live with all of them It really really was a pleasure 一緒にいた期間は短かったけど、 伊織さんとはすっごく仲良くさせてもらって ました。 It's only been a short while But I got to be quite close with Iori-san ちーちゃんともいっぱい話せるようになったし ちーちゃんって呼べて嬉しいです。 I also had a lot of chat with Chi-chan And I'm happy I get to call her Chi-chan 短くても濃い期間だったなって思います Even though it is short, but it left a strong memories 本当にありがとうございました。 お疲れ様でした!! Thank you so much For everything!! ではでは〜ここら辺で Well then, that's all from me またねっ☆彡.。 Till next time☆彡.。
from Big Spirit Comic if the video does not show watch the video here https://twitter.com/spiritsofficial/status/1023727372938268672
The Big Spirits photoshoot caused quite a ruckus since in the "Making of" video, Renka blurt out the word キチガイ (Kichigai) which seems to be deemed a very harsh word, for Japanese at least. Some matome sites talk about it a lot, and then the original video is taken down, replaced by an edited version where the said part is cut down. The context of her saying that word is actually because it was raining quite hard during the photoshoot, and what I understand from the original clip is that she was saying that her appearance will become somewhat キチガイ (it translates to "Mad" at minimum). People took it quite seriously considering her age. Some even thought that she was bad-mouthing Keyakizaka for some reason LOL Anyway, I think it's not much of a big ruckus for now.
Will Renka feel old if Nogi gets one of the younger candidates that passed? She always had a mature face for her age, but now she may not be the youngest Nogi!
