Hankai tramway is an actual tram line that runs from Osaka to Sakai, and is the oldest tramway in Japan. Since the story revolves around people and their memories of this tram, Kubochan's characters will speak in Kansai-ben! (As Kubochan is a native of Tohoku, this will provide a challenge in her acting ability, even more because it's voice only)

She is just the sweetest.

 

Young newlywed vibe is strong with this one. Imagine you are going home from work and she greets you "Okaeri!" and asks you to take a bath first as she's in the midst of preparing dinner. After shower, the two you eat together and talk about your day. She laughs. Just like the caption, her smile is your energy.

Just uploaded the scans here if you want to check them out.
From the blt graph interview we find out that Kubochan is the center of Mainichi ga Brand New Day.

Spoiler

そんな中、25thシングル「しあわせの保護色」に収録される3期曲「毎日がBrand new day」で、初めてセンターに立ちます。
In the midst of this, you stand at the center position for the first time in 3rd gen song "Mainichi ga Brand new day" included in 25th single "Shiawase no Hogoshoku".

「どうしましょうね...。だからこそ私は不安なんですよね。このセンターのお話をしていただいた時、自分には向いてないんじゃないか、後悔させてしまうんじゃないかって最初は、すごく怖かったです。私は3期生のみんなが認めてくれるようなセンター像じゃないし、みんなの優しさがあっても認めてもらえるような人間でもないし、実力があるわけでもないので、みんなに申し訳ないなと感じていたから。でもここで "3期生も少しは強くなったんだぞ"っていう姿を見せられる楽曲にしたいなとも思ったので、今、すごく自分自身が試されているような気がします」。
"What should I do... for this reason I was anxious. When they told me about this center position, at first I thought to myself 'Is it not suitable for me?', 'Won't this make me regret?', I was scared. I am not a center figure in the 3rd gen that everyone can recognize, I am not a person that can be noticed even if everyone is kind. I don't have the ability, so I feel sorry for everyone. But, here I think I want to use this song to show that '3rd gen is getting stronger too, you know!' so now, I feel like I want to test out my own self."

Kubochan is also scheduled to appear as cover page for Shuukan Shounen Champion, to be published on March 19th

With this we get three Shiori covers in March!

It's because her hairstyle looks like anime mom/dead mom hair trope in anime lol

That tweet, by the moment I post this here has already gathered more than 156.000 likes! This blows up bigger than when Nagano Mei tweeted a photo of her on June 5th 2019. Here's hoping this can be a good omen for her.

Edit: Ah, @galangsatria you beat me to it haha

 

The force is back on KBS
Why does Shiori think that she ain't center figure in 3rd gen ?

 

time for another talented singer to the front. 3rd gen aces are really well chosen by management. i hope kubo can be pushed as talent figure like ikuchan.

 

I think she's just being humble as always. She ends her answer with optimism anyway.

Kubochan's cover for Shuukan Shounen Champion and preview

 

I feel sorry for Shiori .
The mv preview in the news for Brand New Day didnt even Highlighted that she's centering the song .

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Kubo looked gorgeous. Beautiful mv for a beautiful centre. The tv preview annoyed me. What’s the correlation between Yodashita photobooks and kubo being the centre? It better be hinting at a Kubo photobook

 

Kubo's blog title almost give me a heart attack

 

Haha She just Graduated in Highschool .
She's classmates with Reno and Tamami
It seems to be the same school with Yoda
Looks like Meguro Nihon University Highschool .

 

Thankfully i immediately remember that special graduation magazine
