    She reminded me of someone who I couldn't figure out.

    But then it hit me.
    And just as well, they're both from Osaka. And it's way better than being compared to enoki mushrooms.

    Konomin is one of BII best dancers. I saw her video dancing Kamonegix with Uuka few weeks ago
    Again, she paired up with Uuka in Faint on tadaima renaichuu which is so cool!

    oh, also happy birthday konomin! happy 18th birthday!

    After watching a few LODs, I really do feel Konomin's presence on stage, she's a really good performer and did well on the B2 stages I saw recently. I definitely agree she is one of the best BII dancers, and she got plenty of swapping to the front during certain songs that really helped notice her more.

    Something felt off when I was subbing this. Oh well.
    (Also this was supposed to be Emika trying to appeal to everyone, lol.)

    In the RH, they let Konomin and Murashige do an MC and it was hilarious. Konomin told a story of how she and Murashige didn't really know each other but she took a pic with Murashige before and Murashige couldn't remember it. The way Konomin delivered it was hilarious. She even posted THE picture on her G+.

    Well, is there anything you want in this thread?

    One thing I find funny about her and that is completely lost in translation is that she randomly talks in kenjougo, a form of keigo used when you talk about yourself, you are extra humble and it's not normally used in the situations she is in, so it's over-formal.
    It's hard to explain and I always wondered if foreign fans understood it, haha.

    I was watching the mobile talk and I realized just how well Konomi is able to tell stories. She told what should be a really uninteresting story about how she always wanted to be Hello Kitty when she grew up and it became hilarious because of how she told it. She has the ability (even more than Ripopo) to do suberanai hanashi because of the way she delivers a story. You can see this in the YNN SP with Udon and Lemon. Udon was getting absolutely killed by Lemon in the weirdo-character department but Konomi was able to hold her own because of her self-deprecating humor.

    While she didn't rank-in at all, she said she was really happy that Milky selected her to be part of her MC team for the concert.

    She seems to be really self-conscious lately about how no one knows who she is, when she did the MC she said she was worried about people saying "Who the heck is that girl?"
    At a BⅡMC she said she had work with Kinoshita Haruna and when she read comments it was like "Kinoshita Haru appeared on TV with some other girl."

    She's more determined to make herself be known though, so that's good.

    She suberi'd really badly in the MC but I am glad NMB management and its members are starting to recognize her.

    The more I watch BII performances, the more Konomin is standing out to me.

    I find her really funny and her Google+ posts are great simply for the photos, which are both adorable and a little WTF.
    She is a superb dancer too, totally agree. End Roll is a fantastic song that she definitely does justice. :)

    You should find some old B2 LODs to see the Uuka/Konomin/Anchu version of Faint. Its really good.

    yes!

    also there are some where Konomin centers but I much prefer Uuka center, for some reason it makes everyone step up.

    I think its a testament to how good this unit/song is that it ranked inexplicably highly in 2014 RH despite the members not being that particularly popular.

    it's not really inexplicable. it's a really good performance. a lot of the other members pretty much said "faint = uuka".

    i really think that faint is one reason why konomin is slowly rising.
