Minegishi Minami (Miichan) / 1st Generation

For sure he would have been banned ages ago if he tried just a tiny bit of the shenanigans he pulls at YouTube, so I doubt he's a member here.
To be honest, I don't remember any activity by him on Facebook or YouTube the last few months .... so maybe reporting his behaviour (not just by me, by many Miichan fans) over and over again has finally helped
Or better, maybe he finally has gotten the help he needs.

 

And another Make-up video

To be honest, it might have been one or two places higher, but I really don’t think it would have made all that much difference
But I’m sure Miichan and Takamina would very much have preferred her to be in the top 16, just so they would have had more time together, I think that hurt the most

 

ow ... I didn't notice that was Miion, but in hindsight it makes sense, Takamina wore the same sort of reindeer outfit

but yeah, Miichan looks younger then she really is ... but when you see her interact with the other old Minegishi Team 4 gang you can definitely see the age difference in the way she acts (and that's not meant to be in a bad way)

 

Well, I still also like Miichan 'the brat' or Miichan 'the child' ..... seeing her screaming for Acchan at the Tokyo dome concerts (with Mariko running for her to calm her down) is still adorable imho
And earlier during the concert, when she breaks down crying you just want to hug her (which Yuko and Takamina did) but she was basically just a kid back then, obviously the benjamin, and all the older original gens doted over her.


Someone is uploading all AKBingo and Shukan AKB episodes, and now also has added the first Kousagi Dojo episode ....

Takamina and Miichan making each other cry ... they are just such great friends, taking turns in being the rock the other can depend on

(I know this is 2012 ... but that Tsunami warning is kinda disconcerting nonetheless)

メリークリスマスイブ
私のイブはというと、お仕事を終えて、夜は友達とお家でささやかにケンタッキーを食べようと思います予約し忘れたので買えないかな？と諦めていましたが、仕事終わりに店舗に寄ったら「今締め切ろうと思ってたところなのでいけます！」と言ってもらい無事ゲット〜。ついてる☆彡28歳になった今でも、クリスマスなんてただの

Merry Christmas Eve!
On my Christmas Eve, I'm going to have a small Kentucky dinner at home with my friends after workI forgot to make a reservation so I thought I wouldn't be able to buy one. But when I dropped by the shop after work, they said "We were just about to close it, so you can buy it! So I got it! I'm so lucky! I'm 28 years old and Christmas is still just an ordinary day.

New column by Miichan in which she addresses her situation after announcing her graduation.

https://mirror.asahi.com/article/14067130

I'm happy Miichan's thoughts almost perfectly dovetail with what I've been thinking, and I still want to have her the mother of all graduation concerts in which we will close the final chapter of the first generation and the corona pandemic and the start of an new era.

I hope she'll be able to keep that promise to that certain younger member.

Furthermore, for me the best part was this:
"There will be people who say that I am still clinging on. Then that's fine."

B.t.w Miichan participated in a program about people's bad luck this year .... and won ... 25kg of meat
(which she plans to share with her kohai)

bonus round: some pics from instagram and twitter

pic with the black out was at the 'Turntable' show
pic with the pink/grey outfit was at Downtown DX

 

If they are able to hold a real concert again, with a real audience, then I'm 95% convinced Acchan, Mariko, Takamina, Nyan-nyan and Tomochin will show up (I'm 100% convinced Takamina and Nyan-nyan will show up)
I would also expect at least some of the other 1st generation who graduated before the Tokyo Dome concert to appear, because they were at the 10th anniversary of the theatre as well.

And then there's Yuko, Sasshii and probably Sayaka and Sae (based on that they were at Mariko-sama's wedding reception as well)

And for sure Miki-chan and Mako-chan will appear, and hopefully other ex Minegishi Team 4 members (for seijun philosophy?)

(and I'd like Haruu to be there, just because I know she likes Miichan, was co-captain and I just really like her )

(come to think of it ... just with all the graduated members Miichan knows they can hold a full concert )

ow ... and I'm going to cry if/when they perform 'Sakura no Hanabiratachi' or 'Mata aeru hi made'
(which they should start with all the 1st gens on those chairs, with the graduates leaving after lighting their candle until only Miichan is left, although that would leave no role for the Minechiru, so ... maybe not)
