Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

It's funny when Miichan says that, even when apart, they could do things together with this, and then as an example mentions they could go fishing.
The first date that got 'leaked' was them going fishing, so I dont think it's just a loose remark

Miichan did really seem to get into it ..... her service leaves something to be desired though

It seems reporters are kinda obsessed with how Miichan and Tetsuya are making this work.
Which is kinda strange as 'Living apart Together' is not a new thing, otoh maybe it is in Japan.
(there is no Japanese wikipedia page on the subject fro instance)

 

Looks like Miichan is back with a radio program on Tokyo FM
not sure if it's just a one off, but Miichan just announced it in the fanclub

it's not an one off

she doing an impromptu Q&A in the fanclub right now

we talked a while back about meeting Miichan on the street, a fanclub member asked her about just that:

Miichan's reply

Some other, somewhat bizarre, news:
Okazaki tourism has placed live size cutouts of the members of Tokai on Air throughout the town.
And not just random panels ..... life size wedding panels


Take one guess where Tetsuya's panel is located

looks familiar? it should

well, I should add the panels are frequently relocated.

I guess I was right, Okazaki must be pretty happy with the interest Tokai on Air brings them ...
and the added interest caused by Miichan's and Tetsuya's wedding

When they are together they are always happy .... and a bit silly

It turns out Miichan had Nyannyan vet Tetsuya, she brought Nyannyan along the first(?) time, then left them alone by visiting the 'powder room' and nyannyan just straight up asked Tetsuya what he thought of Miichan.
Nyannyan also thought Miichan would thrive if she had someone praising her ..

when selecting a witness for the marriage registration Miichan had 3 choices, Takamina, Nyannyan and AkiP
She figured AkiP would be to busy ... so then she had to decide between Takamina and Nyannyan.
In the end she selected Nyannyan as she had met Tetsuya more often, knowing him better

Takamina said Nyannyan was 'already a parent' and nyannay said she fel like she was turning into an older sister type

Miichan's manager in the fanclub:

 

WebCM for SHElikes

From what I understand SHElikes sells online courses claiming to enable you to start a new career.
(and they say this is your last change this year)

In the making of Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka? you can already see the that bond, although I still think Nyannyan just thought of Miichan as a pretty weird but funny kid, mind you at that age 4 years makes quite a difference.
Miichan playing kitchen with pebbles and twigs confuses everyone

one thing is clear ... Nyannyan fooled everybody with her airhead persona.


Miichan will be 'Editor in Chief' for a few months for the website J!NS Park
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1577240567741751296

The editor in chief position changes every few months and Miichan is the third person to fill the position

J!NS is a brand of eye-wear... and the website is live-style stuff but also news about the company?
for example, this is an article about their new office:

Quite an extensive interview with Miichan

新しい学校のリーダーズ Atarashii Gakkou has a one hour special with as special guest ... Miichan
https://twitter.com/shinjinshu/status/1579757667941486593

somehow during that one radio show appearance Miichan took a liking to them and they took a liking to Miichan

Miicha (of course) retweeted it
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1580116547343101952


A thread on twitter with Miichan getting pampered ... and Miichan returning all that love
https://twitter.com/archive48g/status/1579887466374656003


Mariko feeding Miichan while Nynnyan is doing Miichan's makeup

 

For a moment it looked like Miichan was holding back happy tears ...


She thanks Mogi for informing her before it was made public, it seems in the end ex-team 4 members will always touch base with Miichan.

as a commenter wrote みぃママ


Just watching the Atarashi Gakko 1 hr special
Miichan is introduced as a Dai-Fan

btw, they played a clip of an MV of Atarahsi Gakko where they fight an alien in a desert next to a camper .....
now, where have I seen something like that before ?

 

as Miichan won last round versus the economist, she gets to return

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I think Miichan referred to Tetsuya as 'Orange Headed Dragon' in the intro to the Yuu-gi-oh game
She also said she trained, but we knew that from last time

She asked her opponent(s) who their oshimen were, and of course it was someone else ... story of Miichan's live.
Anyway ... it was Mariko-sama, I think Miichan is ok with that

Miichan was asked if she had watched the anime ... and she said .. one episode

People are commenting Miichan can't be a beginner at Yuu-gi-oh

Spoiler

she won again

her expressions when she about to deliver a crushing blow ...

and her opponents, one of whome according to the description is an experienced player, were kinda embarrassed, in a good way ... like, how did this happen?

and then the judge told them Miichan could have won one turn earlier as well ....

btw ... it's pretty well known, Miichan does not like to loose, so I'm sure she takes this pretty serious

Miichan wrote in the fanclub "weekends is okazaki"
I think she was responding to fans while in the car with Tetsuya, who posted this:

Isn't she the cutest ever

 

Miichan's radio show
https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1581589083104587776

Yes, that's correct, while sipping a drink (or maybe more than one) they talked about diminishing libido

 

interview with Miichan in VoCE
https://i-voce.jp/feed/2043204/


https://twitter.com/chan__31/status/1582329198890258435

The article has more really cute pics, it's amazing how Miichan can change her image

 

Second part of the VoCE interview
https://i-voce.jp/feed/2044981/

My observations:

• in the previous episode Miichan talked about wanting to do cosmetic surgery (but she could not afford it and her face was already well known) and here she talks about minor corrections to her face, she's quite open about this, especially as you think about the shit storm that ensued when she asked that Korean male idol if he had cosmetic surgery
  
• It's still kinda weird to me to hear her talk about her husband
  
• Perfume attended Miichan's gradcon? (i know this was the same time Miichan did the Masked Singer, so it's not illogical, and A-chan was of cource fangirling Neon Panda big time )
• Miichan talking about her skin, I don't think I've ever seen Miichan sport a pimple, the only thing she has it that small birthmark on the bridge of her nose, for the rest her skin has always been flawless
  She also has a light complexion, it doesn't always stand out but during the RH duet with Takamina, Takamina looked almost tanned in comparison when they locked hands.

I'll keep repeating it, since Miichan graduated she has gained confidence and seems genuinely contented

 

Tomorrow there will be the stage greeting of the movie 'Whisper in a low voice the more important thing' in which Miichan has a part

(fanclub members have been scrambling to get tickets )
https://twitter.com/Gon_Mama2022/status/1581843972942860288



furthermore, after an apology for the delay, they started sending out the fanclub limited edition stylebooks.
I was starting to get kinda worried as we were asked to fill in a google form with the desired name and the address, and then a week later were asked to do that again ... and I could not see a difference :/
So I wondered if I filled in the correct form, as time went on, but yesterday I received an e-mail about the the delivery, so it should be on it's way .... fingers crossed

did I need a second copy of the stylebook, no
did I need an autographed version .... hell yes

update: package arrived at Tenso .... so far, so good

 

stage-greetings event on the first screening day of the movie ""Whispering in a low voice" (directed by Hatsuki Yokoo) starring Takanori Goto, held in Tokyo on October 21st.
