Nito Moeno (Moeno) / 5th Generation

Moeno-san
Happy BirthDay

​

 

Well, this thread has been pretty quiet, but happy 25th birthday Moeno-san nonetheless!

 

Bumping this friend back from oblivion to state that despite the thread being kinda dead, Moeno's career isn't: she was in 6 different stage plays in 2017.

Additionally, she is in the 2018 production of Kemono Friends. I don't know enough about the franchise to say if it's just a re-run of last year or a new one but it's running from January 13 to January 21 (2018) and there's more info here: http://www.nelke.co.jp/stage/kemono-friends2018/.

Actually a super quick look tells me I think she's doing a different role than last year? A more important one? She was a penguin last year right? And now she's a ... uh... A mammoth?

Also!

It would seem she's appearing on Haachan's Xmas event! Just the evening one though.

 

Looks like Moeno will be retiring for the Entrainment Industry on March 31, 2019

I mean, being sister to someone who is the absolute stereotype of a ~#MeToo~ SJW activist (even by Japan's standards) probably didn't help keeping up a stable career in the showbiz in the first place...

Spoiler: OT

I don't want to bring up any unconfirmed theories, despite the fact they have been floating for years on the Internet and indeed have bubbled up again with this announcement, but even people who know her sister more than Moeno herself have been wondering if Moeno leaving AKB wasn't, at least in part, because of disagreements with her sister, or her interference.
Also, absolutely lovely this recent tweet of hers where she denounces the sexualization in Teacher Teacher's lyrics and dance, going as far as to accuse it of spreading a message which legitimizes teacher-on-student sexual harassment in a society that's rife with it (and granted, the entire single was distasteful in many ways, but that's another story). Not the first time she speaks openly against Akimoto's own productions, must be a reason the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan has made her one of their favorite spokespersons.

 

Surprised to hear Moeno throwing in the towel in the entertainment industry.

Why?

 

Alright lets bring this thread back up from page 6 of 8.
She's been more active on IG lately. She recently went to Yukirin's solo concert.
