    This is something that I don't like. I'm aware that they have certain guidelines to follow, something like not allowed to color their hair with light colors or not allowed to color their nails with striking colors. As long as it applies to all members equally, I'm fine with it. But if some members can cut their hair short while others can't, it's not really fair. If I'm the member, I would feel troubled by it.
    I wonder if in the past, Maiyan never cut her hair short due to this.

    Rika’s 2nd visit to ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Rika has only watched a bit of the Olympics, like football, on her phone. Shinuchi has been watching lots of Olympics on her home TV.
    -Rika was head of her elementary school’s table tennis club.
    -Rika is in contact with her hometown friends and parents every day, talking about silly stuff or sending bad photos of herself. Shinuchi doesn’t have anyone she contacts daily. Whenever Shinuchi messages Momoko, the messages are immediately marked as read and Momoko replies right away.
    -Kazumin was visible off-camera to the other members before she made her graduation announcement. She was very nervous, and kept taking deep breaths and stretching.
    -Unlike Shinuchi, Rika wasn’t exhausted from the tour. Rika says she had adrenaline for the Lives, but it was actually the long Shinkansen ride that tired her.
    -Shinuchi mentions that the manager who’s with them today used to teach Japanese class in school.
    -Shinuchi doesn’t write in her blog much because she’s bad at writing about her own feelings and it becomes very heavy when she does.
    -Rika’s family came from Iwate to Sendai to see the tour. Rika's grateful that they received good seats, but she felt very awkward dancing in front of them. When Shinuchi started in Nogi, she also felt embarrassed in front of family, but now she doesn’t mind.
    -Rika sings the Kamome no Tamago confectionery jingle at 58:34 and again at 59:05.
    -Rika thought Shinuchi's home prefecture Saitama was very urban, but Shinuchi assures her that Saitama is considered the boonies by people in Tokyo.
    -When fans at online meet-and-greets ask Rika what’s good to eat in Iwate prefecture, she recommends the ice cream eaten with chopsticks at Marukan Building Daishokudo, but Shinuchi discovers that Rika has never eaten it, it’s just famous. It’s located near the airport, but Rika has never been on an airplane. This year’s summer tour will be the first time Rika flies. Shinuchi loves airplanes and loves looking out the window as they accelerate off the runway.
    -Nogizaka Koujichuu is not broadcast in Iwate.
    -Rika plays a song she often sang in middle school choir, Sekai no Owari’s Present.
    -Rika likes frogs and would be fine with holding one.

    Umezawa is this week's guest:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Ume says she looks more like her mom, but she gets ‘being very serious or very goofy’ from her dad. Her dad is apparently a cool, upbeat guy who likes to drive and surf. Ume tries to treat her family to meals when she can, though they hold back from ordering expensively, especially her younger brother. Ume wants to talk with her younger brother about his middle school life, and to buy for him whatever he wants, but he’s shy and awkward around her.
    -When Ume shops online, she picks many items and her shopping cart adds up to be more expensive than she expects, so she takes several days to decide whether to place the order. She prefers buying in person with cash. The exceptions are (1) she’s ordered overnight delivery of clothes when she needed them for work the next day, (2) she doesn’t hesitate to order food.
    -Ume has cheat days for her diet about once every two weeks. Shinuchi recently witnessed Ume on a cheat day for the first time and was shocked at how much she ate, starting from a big dinner to multiple sweets and pastries from a convenience store afterwards.
    -Shinuchi recently bought a full-length mirror to help her pick outfits and practice dancing. Ume practices dancing in the reflection of her refrigerator door at home. Shinuchi used to practice at home by looking in the reflection of a window in a dark room.
    -Regarding the recent test on Koujichuu, they explain that, besides being very difficult, the members are instructed to write something even if they don’t know the answer, i.e. they write bad guesses because they can’t leave it blank.
    -Ume plays Silent Siren’s Hachigatsu no Yoru (“August Night”).

    Mayu’s 1st solo visit to ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Mayu can appear on ANN since her Recommen radio show was prerecorded this week. Even though she’s not breaking any rules, for some reason, she hasn’t told her radio co-host Otenki Nori that she’s appearing on ANN. When former Recommen host Hori guested on ANN before, Hori didn’t tell Nori either. Mayu says Recommen listeners are mainly Nogi fans, but ANN has lots of non-Nogi fans.
    -Mayu was her school softball club’s relief pitcher. Back when the 4ki joined Nogi, Junna became friendly with Mayu early on and told Shinuchi that Mayu is very much a “jock” (taiikukaikei) who always greets people properly.
    Taiikukaikei 体育会系 means ‘the type of person who’s in athletic clubs in school.’ While there’s an association of being gutsy or muscle-brained, the most relevant connotation here is that Japanese jocks are stereotypically more devoted to group hierarchy and showing manners, similar to some military stereotypes. Taiikukaikei can be contrasted with bunkakei 文化系, people in cultural clubs, who are stereotypically more about individual discretion.
    -Mayu and Shinuchi have both worked at Denny’s. Mayu was a waitress, Shinuchi was in the kitchen.
    -When Mayu or Shinuchi wear clothing they wore 2 or 3 years ago, fans recognize it and ask them if it’s a favorite outfit, but no, they just re-wear clothes sometimes.
    -Shinuchi says she very occasionally fights with fans over what they say. Members have access to an alarm button during meet-and-greets. When fans say weird stuff, Mayu tells them she’s going to press the alarm button. When fans say weird stuff to Shinuchi, she replies that they only have a short time, why can’t they make it pleasant?
    -Mayu currently lives with her family in Saitama. She has a 16-year-old dog and she recently got two kittens who live in her bedroom. She’s bought lots of cat toys and a 170 cm cat tower. She dotes over the cats even though they’ve ruined her curtains and scratched her arms. Fans have noticed Mayu’s scratched arms on TV, so she wants to assure people it’s just cats.
    -Before joining Nogi, Mayu had a curfew of 10 or 11 PM, but she was a homebody and didn’t go out much anyway.
    -Mayu plays the song she performed with Ayame on Nogizaka Star Tanjo: Puffy’s Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera.
    -Before school health exams, Mayu would skip breakfast because she worried that the student assistant at the school infirmary would judge her weight. Now, she still presses herself down when standing or sitting because she wants to appear shorter.

    Momoko’s final appearance on ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Momoko is homesick for Kagoshima. She hasn’t returned for almost 3 years since the Sing Out era EDIT: since January last year due to coronavirus.
    -After Momoko graduates, she wants to eat 10 donuts from Mister Donut. She’s been holding back her diet for the Fukuoka Live. She also wants to eat yakiniku, chicken tail, gyoza, etc. Shinuchi offers to buy gyoza filled with whole garlic for Momoko as a graduation gift. Later on, Momoko says she really wants to eat chicken nanban from the local restaurant chain Joyfull, so Shinuchi offers to ask the Nogi managers if Momoko can eat at Joyfull on the second night of the Fukuoka Live. Momoko is so happy that her face goes stiff from smiling. (Literally over half of the episode involves them discussing food.)
    -Momoko’s biggest worry right now is that her stomach starts to hurt whenever she thinks about needing to do her best at the Live.
    -During the 3ki’s first national tour with Nigemizu, Momoko’s stomach hurt and she cried and cried backstage, but she didn’t want the concert to be delayed because of her, so every time she received the 2-minute warning before going onstage, it was like a switch flipped and she started smiling. She couldn’t understand it, it was like she had two selves.
    -During an MC segment at the recent Nagoya Live, Momoko told the audience that she’s not so bad at Lives anymore. She’s quitting right as she got used to them, but at least she can fully enjoy her last two Lives.
    -The first time Momoko and Yoda shot an MV with senpai was Onna wa Hitori ja Nemurenai. The two didn’t want to mess up the shoot so they practiced all night at their hotel, but they still failed in front of the camera (although Shinuchi denies it was that bad). Momoko was taken aback by how the senpai could chat normally and then immediately start dancing once the cameras turned on. When the shoot ended, the senpai split into two groups, one to comfort Momoko and one to comfort Yoda; Shinuchi was in the Yoda group. Momoko was later impressed that the MV’s editing hid her inadequacy.
    -Lots of Momoko’s friends will attend the Fukuoka Live. Her hometown friends always saw her unreliable side, so she wants to show them how capable she’s become.
    -Last week, Shinuchi brought homemade broth-boiled eggs and tomatoes to the Nagoya Live because she accidentally cooked too much. She tried to hide them in the backstage fridge but other members noticed and commented. Momoko actually wants to eat Shinuchi’s eggs so she asks Shinuchi to bring more eggs to the Fukuoka Live.
    -The 3ki want to go out to eat and sing karaoke together someday, but they need to protect their voices for the upcoming Lives. Momoko wants to hurry up and have fun together with the 3ki.
    -Momoko plays her favorite song by an artist that all the girls in her middle school liked, Nishino Kana’s if. (This is also the song Asuka sang in her Nogi audition)
    -After her final Live, Momoko will appear the same night on the Rajira Sunday radio show with Renka and Ume.
    -Momoko monologues from 1:14:40. The past 5 years were fun but also painful. She didn’t think she could persevere and thought she would give up many times, but the staff and senpai stopped her and helped her persevere, so she’s glad she didn’t give up back then. Deciding to graduate was a positive decision and she wants to move forward. She’s caused a lot of worry over the years, so she’ll be glad if everyone doesn’t worry for her and she can live an enjoyable life. She’s truly grateful to everyone. Momoko plays Sanbanme no Kaze.

    Hmm, you’re right. I listened to that part again (from around 7:00), Momoko exclaims she wants to go back to Kagoshima and then says she returned for work 2-3 years ago during Sing Out, so I mistakenly connected those two together. I'll edit it.

    Yuna’s 2nd visit to ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Although Yuna didn’t have an overtly rebellious phase, she was irritable towards her mom during middle school and didn’t like talking to her much. Shinuchi says she also didn’t like talking to her mom because it felt like a hassle during her rebellious teens.
    -Yuna’s favorite fruit is peaches. About 3 weeks ago, she bought a box of 16 almost overripe peaches for only 500 yen. She froze them and read online that you can make juice from frozen peaches, so she finally ordered a juicer online today.
    -Yuna would like to collect sneakers, but she’s too sensible with money to actually buy many. Shinuchi says regular members own 3-4 pairs of footwear. Shinuchi believes in buying expensive good-quality things if they last a long time, so she’s been wearing the shoes she bought for her photobook since 4 years ago, and has repaired them 3 times.
    -Yuna hums the Bay FM weather and traffic jingle at 55:27. Shinuchi doesn’t recognize it, although she’s hosted a Bay FM radio show (OL Idol Shinuchi Mai’s Maichun Cafe, Apr. 2015 – Mar. 2016).
    -Yuna loves Disney princesses and has been listening to this song for positive vibes before work each day, Shimizu Miisha’s Starting Now ~Atarashii Watashi he.
    -After a few attempts, Yuna and Shinuchi sing the short Chuba Chuba Wonderland children’s TV jingle at 1:03:41.
    -The first member Yuna became friendly with was Seimiya Rei-chan, because they sat together during the 2nd and 3rd stages of the auditions. The senpai whom Yuna talks to most are Hinako-san and Takayama-san because they were paired together during the Koujichuu 4ki introductions. Yuna says she’s not shy and can talk to strangers, so she became comfortable talking with 4ki quickly.

    Kazumin’s possibly final appearance on ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Kaz’s novel was the first time she ever wrote seriously. In school, she never put her full effort into essays and book reports. She didn’t read much as a child, but she became a “reading otaku” in high school.
    -Kaz (27) playfully apologizes to Shinuchi (29) for treating her as much older despite being about the same age. People also treat Manatsu (28) as older than she actually is, but somehow Kaz never gets included with them.
    -Kaz is keenly aware that she won’t be able to introduce herself as a Nogizaka46 member soon, and reminisces about her old idol self-introductions. Shinuchi says Kaz’s catchphrases “Amazing” and “Posi-Peace” were smart ideas and easy to use. Kaz says it was a good idea looking back on it now, but it was embarrassing, so she gradually stopped using them.
    -Kaz likes people and the outdoors, so being unable to go out and meet people aside from show recordings for the past few months has been so unbearable that she wants to scream.
    -Kaz has been cleaning out stuff she no longer uses. She recently found her middle school yearbook. She cried reading the messages people wrote, like “Let’s all get together” or “Let’s form a band,” because she’s sad knowing it won’t happen. Kaz continued seeing friends from school after joining Nogi, but she hasn’t met them since coronavirus started. She’s considering creating a Facebook profile to connect with old classmates after she graduates. Shinuchi asks, “Isn’t that dangerous?” but thinks Kaz is incredible for continuing old relationships. Shinuchi says that at her age, people who haven’t sustained any relationship for over 10 years are scary, she’d be afraid of being cut off within 10 years as well.
    -Kaz thinks Shinuchi is able to make friends more easily than her, but Shinuchi denies it and says she’s always thought Kaz has an incredible talent for making friends with her considerate attitude, including with staff during today’s ANN prep meeting. Kaz is happy for the praise. However, she thinks the remaining Nogi members are quite capable, thus about a year ago, she felt like she was actually being overly considerate and vocalizing her opinions too much in the group.
    -This is supposedly Kaz’s final ANN, but Shinuchi welcomes her to visit again. Kaz wants to, but she doesn’t want to take up a guest slot, she’d rather just pop in for a greeting. Shinuchi is impressed that Kaz basically keeps the same energy level at work from morning until night.
    -Kaz’s favorite kind of work was recording, so she really enjoyed recording her solo song. She can count on her fingers the number of jobs where she felt satisfied afterwards, but this song gave her a sense of completion. Kaz plays Watashi no Iro, but messes up the song description. (It keeps getting taken down on Youtube, so I linked to bilibili)
    -Kaz’s hometown friends used to hold barbecues every summer, but she couldn’t join them since she was always on tour for Nogi. Next year, maybe she can.
    -During the final concerts of past Nogi summer tours, members were repeatedly reminded not to miss the cue to raise their hands just before the fireworks went off. Kaz is nostalgic for the pressure and nervousness of that moment. Kaz says this year’s summer Lives were fun, and she made zero mistakes.
    -ANN received a letter from superhero “Captain C” of the Chuba Chuba Wonderland TV show, expressing happiness that the Chuba Chuba Wonderland song was sung last week.
    -Shinuchi praises Kaz’s calligraphy. Kaz wrote the words in the Kimi ni Shikarareta MV in one take.
    -Kaz plays a song she’s loved for over 10 years, by a group that made her love idols, Morning Musume’s Ame no Furunai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?
    -Kaz gets a second chance to introduce Watashi no Iro at 1:20:55, but she messes up again by talking too long about how Nogi made many of her dreams come true.

    Kubo is this week’s guest:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Kubo was initially aiming for college when she joined Nogi. She tied with Rena for 1st place in the previous Koujichuu quiz (episode #139). This led to her being invited onto knowledge-related shows, which she says revealed to audiences that she was actually an idiot. Kubo’s score has since dropped from 70 to 52, and Shinuchi’s from 60 to 54; Shinuchi says the quiz favors the young and university exam takers.
    -About a year ago, Kubo replaced her sofa at home with a 160 cm bead cushion. This contributed to a slovenly lifestyle, since it was too comfy and she started sleeping on it and rolling off onto the floor in the middle of the night, which made her body sore. She recently decided to throw it out, but since bulk garbage must be disassembled before pickup, she opened it up to take a look. When she opened the zipper, an avalanche of beads spilled all over the floor. It was too much to deal with, so she left it like that for 2 days. Since so many beads would damage her vacuum cleaner, it took 1 week for her to collect them by hand. Beads still occasionally drop from her clothes and bag.
    -This episode is the end-of-summer hometown special, featuring members talking about dialects and summers in their hometown, as well as reading listener mail from their home prefecture.
    • 19:01 Yoda’s dialect usually only comes out when she’s phoning her mom or talking to herself. In summer, Fukuoka residents go to the Houjouya festival and Sunshine Pool. The toorimon sweet bun is a local treat.
    • 27:34 Rika needs her parents to translate her grandma’s dialect for her. She’s only seen Iwate prefecture’s Sansa Odori summer festival on TV since it’s crowded. In fall, Rika has reaped rice with a kama at her grandma’s home. Iwate’s Morioka city is famous for Fukuda Pan bread.
    • 37:52 Maaya says she used dialect words like buchi (“very”) and tawan (“unable to reach”) when she first came to Tokyo. Festival stalls in Hiroshima sell okonomiyaki. Shinuchi says Maaya totally still uses buchi, though Kubo says the kouhai haven’t heard it.
    • 46:06 Riria says aga instead of itai (“it hurts”). Zenzai is a warm red bean soup in most of Japan, but in Okinawa, zenzai is shaved ice with red beans. Anpanman ice cream is a classic snack in Okinawa. Shinuchi believes gaining Riria as a member made it much easier for Nogi to shoot in Okinawa.
    • 57:59 Nao says shite-haru instead of shite-irassharu (polite “to do”). Summer in Kyoto means the Gion Festival. When Nao attended Gion in the past, her friend told her to not let go of her sleeve or else she’d get lost, but Nao let go and became lost within 20 minutes, and got scolded.
    • 1:04:37 Ayane says gomi wo nageru instead of gomi wo suteru (“throw away garbage,” but in standard Japanese, nageru means to literally “throw” or “toss” while suteru means “discard”). Akita prefecture holds the Kantou festival in August, though it’s been a decade since Ayane attended. In fall, Ayane recommends Saimyouji chestnuts.
    • 1:16:40 Sakura’s dialect and summers in Aichi weren’t much different than Tokyo’s, especially since she’d visit her grandparents in Tokyo. Mitarashi dango in Tokyo is usually sweet, but it’s salty in Nagoya. Another Nagoya snack is tamasen, composed of egg, seaweed, and mayo between two senbei crackers.
    -Shinuchi plays the radio version of Tanin no Sora ni.
    -Despite becoming friendlier recently because of their close senbatsu positions, Shinuchi throughout the episode mixes up which memories she shares with Kubo. At 53:43, Kubo explodes and jokingly accuses Shinuchi of not remembering any of their times together. Shinuchi tries to placate her by saying, “I love Shii-chan!”
    -Kubo plays a song she loves from her middle school chorus days, Angela Aki’s Tegami~Haikei Juugo no Kimi e~

    Maaya is this week’s guest:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Members have been eating chestnuts recently since they’re provided during meet-and-greets. A few years ago, high-calorie snacks disappeared from the refreshments at handshake events. When Shinuchi asked why, she was told that a manager was concerned about members’ health and weight and ordered their removal. Maaya realizes this is true; there used to be lots of chocolate. However, Shinuchi sometimes brings many small chocolates to share with members anyway.
    -Maaya bought a light-green parka, but she doesn’t dare wear it because the color is too flashy and doesn’t fit her image. Shinuchi says Ranze would wear it well.
    -Maaya’s granny ran a beauty parlor in Hiroshima, so Maaya used to cut her hair there. Maaya’s older brother is a beautician currently in Tokyo, so he sometimes cuts Maaya’s hair. She feels more comfortable telling him what kind of haircut she wants.
    -Maaya’s first haircut in Nogi was during the Seifuku no Mannequin era. She went to Tokyo’s upscale Daikanyama neighborhood and felt lost, so she called manager-san, who came over and helped her get a haircut. She cut 50 cm of hair and took it home. Nowadays, Maaya and Shinuchi donate their hair when they cut it. Shinuchi has a high school friend who’s now the vice-manager at a hair salon in the Omotesando neighborhood, so she often goes there.
    -Maaya sings the Nakayama Bokujo meat jingle at 1:01:15.
    -Maaya plays a song that’s been popular recently, Yuuri’s Shutter.
    -Maaya can speak to 4ki relatively more easily since she talks a lot and says silly things. Maaya says it felt weird back when Shinuchi and (ex-member) Karin called her Maaya-san, since they’re older. Shinuchi says it’s easier to make the shift to addressing senpai less formally when they have a popular nickname. It feels harder to just drop “-san” for members like Asuka and Manatsu.
    -Maaya asked management whether the Dorodarake unit is considered Nogidan, but the response she received was an uncertain “Hmm, I wonder?”

    New center Kaki is this week’s guest:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Shinuchi repeatedly wrote “dagashi shop” for 9 years in internal surveys about what members want to do, before finally having her request granted in a Youtube video in July. There is one other thing she’s requested for years, but she won’t reveal it since it hasn’t been granted yet.
    -Kaki says she’d be happy if Shinuchi gifted her used clothing, since they wear similar sizes. Shinuchi doesn’t like giving clothes to kouhai since she believes they’d feel pressured to wear it, but she promises to give Kaki clothes and asks listeners to remind her if she forgets.
    -Kaki turned 20 in August but nothing special happened since coronavirus is still around. She wants to buy something to commemorate her coming of age. Shinuchi suggests a good-quality bag, shoes, etc. Shinuchi has a wallet that reminds her of her first Thailand trip for a tourism commercial.
    -When asked what she spends money on, Kaki doesn’t have any particular answer. Shinuchi likes asking people this question since it reveals their values.
    -Kaki has received a letter carved from wood from the prefectural governor of Tochigi, congratulating her on the new single.
    -Shinuchi uses an iPhone XR, but the battery is worsening so she asks listeners to write in with phone model recommendations. Shinuchi and Kaki say that Nogi uses AirDrop a lot to share files such as choreography videos, to the degree that if a member doesn’t have an Apple device then they’ll face work difficulties.
    -Kaki keeps videos of her dances for past Lives on her phone because she’s not sure when’s a good time to delete them. Shinuchi is surprised and says she deletes those videos when riding the train back home from Lives.
    -Discussing the topic of gyaru culture, Kaki says that early on in their Nogi careers, she, Rei, Seira, Ayame, and Saya went out together once after work to take purikura photos.
    -Kaki plays an anime theme song she used to listen to when commuting to school that made her feel like a hero, Yonezu Kenshi’s Peace Sign.

    Seira is this week’s guest:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Seira dyed her hair for the first time in June. When she joined Nogi, management told her it’d be better to not dye her hair. When she cut her hair in June, they said she could dye her hair, so she did. Seira wants to try dyeing her hair pink like one of her friends, but she knows it wouldn’t be acceptable. Seira and Shinuchi go to beauty parlors about once a month.
    -Seira says Mayu recently got permission to cut her hair up to her shoulders, but the hairdresser that Mayu went to had a different interpretation of “shoulders,” so her hair became too short and she got scolded.
    -Seira wants to get a driver’s license so she can go by herself to the ocean and other nature spots.
    -As this year’s summer was ending, Seira went with Kubo Shiori-chan to the Odaiba area in Tokyo Bay. They walked together for hours, crossing bridges and eating ice cream.
    -When Seira visits her big brother, they go for a drive by the ocean. She usually can’t see the ocean even when traveling for work because it’s dark or the curtains are closed, so she’s happy and thanks her big brother when he’s driving, which puts him in a good mood.
    -Seira has recently been cooking at home. She cooks a lot and carelessly ends up eating more than one person’s serving in one meal. Shinuchi says when she really has too much food, she calls her friends to come eat some; Seira would like to be invited.

    Captain Manatsu returns to the ANN studio:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Whenever Shinuchi visits Manatsu’s place, motherly Manatsu makes two huge onigiri for Shinuchi to take back home.
    -Last year, during the stay-at-home period, Manatsu binge-watched The Walking Dead and got interested in zombie TV/movies. She noticed that when a crowd of zombies try to break through a door, the zombie actors in the back don’t try very hard to get in, like they wait or only raise one arm.
    -Manatsu is recommending Squid Game to other members, like Yoda. Shinuchi hasn’t watched it and is worried about how gory it is.
    -Manatsu sings samples of songs from her school choir days at 17:25.
    -Discussing members’ family homes, Manatsu is particularly curious about Renka’s home and wants to meet her mom. Renka had very proper manners when she entered Nogi, and when Manatsu asked why, Renka said it was her mom’s influence.
    -Shinuchi says that during the 2ki Live in March, all of this year’s 2ki graduations had basically been decided, so the 2ki knew it was their last one together.
    -Shinuchi says it feels like the end of the year is coming because members have done next year's calendar photoshoots.
    -On Shinuchi’s 20th birthday, she was a normal college student. Her friends drove her to the Odaiba area in Tokyo Bay and they ate at TGI Fridays, where Shinuchi felt awkward because the waiters were super enthusiastic when singing happy birthday. Shinuchi wonders if she might spend her 30th birthday at home alone due to coronavirus, but Manatsu offers to celebrate together with (ex-member) Matsumura.
    -Manatsu is very good at opening lids, other members pass jars to her when they can’t open them.
    -Manatsu was a member of many different friend groups in high school, for example, she didn’t follow anime or manga but she became friendly with the group that did, because she was interested in asking them about it.
    -Manatsu plays a song that her mom used to sing at karaoke, Every Little Thing’s fragile.
    -At 1:46:45, when Manatsu plugs her activities at the end of the show, Shinuchi yawns.

    Nao’s 3rd visit to ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Nao’s mom rewards family members throughout the year with tickets for helping out, which can then be redeemed at the Yumiki family’s annual New Year’s Eve lottery drawn from her mom’s massive meter-high raffle drum. Prizes have included an air purifier, earphones, stickers, pencils, etc. They also play bingo with Nao’s grandma for similar prizes on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Last New Year’s, however, Nao went to see a stage play with Ayane instead.
    -Nao invites Shinuchi to attend the lottery and asks what Shinuchi wants. Shinuchi’s answer is body cream. Nao wants chocolate.
    -In high school, Nao was in a group of 3 other friends from the broadcasting and cheerleading clubs who nicknamed themselves the “I Want to Eat Romantic Ikayaki” group because they enjoyed Nogi songs.
    -Nao has few friends and wants to make new ones, but it’s hard for her to find people who are comfortable with her confusing way of speaking (vocabulary slip-ups, apparent non-sequiturs, etc.). Nao was never told she was strange or chaotic until she entered Nogi. Meanwhile, Shinuchi was told throughout her student days that she was strange, until she entered Nogi and was told she was normal. Shinuchi says, “When I’m here, there are lots of monsters who are more outrageous than me, so I can pass as normal.” Nao worries that when she talks, everyone is on guard (for her to say something strange), which Shinuchi laughingly acknowledges. But Shinuchi says it’s a good quality for an entertainer and she’s gradually gotten better at “translating” Nao’s speech. Nao says Rena-san has also said, “I need to work harder at translating Yumiki’s Japanese.”
    -Nao will perform in the upcoming Under Live with Ranze. Nao says the 4ki have had many cute songs, but not many songs with cool or beautiful dances, so she wants to display her abilities, but she also has lots of trouble remembering stuff and wants more time to practice. Shinuchi says her own early Under Lives helped her discover her drive for self-improvement, which moves Nao.
    -While discussing TV shows, Nao says she tries everything her big sister recommends. Shinuchi says (ex-member) Hori also tries whatever her sister recommends.
    -Shinuchi has watched all of Squid Game since the last ANN. Nao can’t watch such gory shows and feels faint at the sight of her own blood.
    -Nao has warm memories of this song that her big sister sang at karaoke and her friends used to play for her back in Kyoto: HY’s NAO.

    Ranze is next week’s guest.

    Ranze’s Last Supper on ANN:

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    -Ranze bought a MacBook Pro for her 23rd birthday. She didn’t need her own computer as an idol and just used her dad's.
    -This week’s listener mail topic is helping Ranze fill out her Wikipedia page. Among the facts discussed are that she wanted to be a fashion designer when she was young, and her nickname Ranran Ranze was coined by the older 2ki members because she wanted a name that was easier for audiences to remember.
    -Ranze’s early Under Lives when she was a kenkyuusei were mentally and physically taxing. She says she was still a child and couldn’t perform properly despite instruction. It was truly tough, but when she looks back, the memories are beautified.
    -When Ranze received her center song Border, Shinuchi watched from the wings whenever it was performed at Lives, and the manager in charge of the Live would also cry every time.
    -Ranze and Shinuchi choose Under songs to play on the radio:
    1. Namida ga Mada Kanashimi Datta Koro
    2. Shitto no Kenri (It was difficult and sad when all 2ki were in Unders, but Ranze says it was good that 2ki could all do activities together)
    3. Kimi wa Boku to Awanai Hou ga Yokatta no Kana (When Ranze chooses how to perform a song, she recalls the emotions she’s seen in other’s performances, such as Hime-tan centering this song)
    4. Hidari Mune no Yuuki (The 2ki had to keep rehearsing this song because Hinako kept messing up)
    5. Dare yori Soba ni Itai
    6. Kassouro
    -Ranze is proud of having no special skills.
    -During the 2ki auditions, most of the girls in Ranze’s audition group were around 14 years old.
    -Ranze chose the songs and outfits for the upcoming Under Live.
    -Ranze says once she graduates, Nogi staff and members will “return” to being her friends.
    -Shinuchi asks if Under rehearsals are going well. Ranze says yes, but honestly, she could dance in her sleep, instead she's trying to look objectively at the situation during rehearsal. Ranze thinks the kouhai have lost the senpai they look up to, and she hopes that her own performances can help them learn. Many kouhai are trying to imitate senpai, and recently many of the girls who joined the group are girls who liked Nogi and feel like they need to act clean and adult. But Ranze says that’s not who we are originally (Shinuchi corrects it to “not the only thing we are” and Ranze agrees). Ranze has discussed this topic with other members in the past and their conclusion was that the group is various “colors” mingled together. But she hasn’t felt that from the group as much recently, and believes members have gotten too caught up in the Nogi that has been created. She hopes members can bring out their own selves more. Shinuchi says if something’s actually not good or goes too far, then the adults will stop it, so Ranze says she’d like members to be more daring.
    -Ranze listened to ANN even before joining Nogi, so it feels strange to be on the show and a little sad that she won’t anymore, but Shinuchi says Ranze is welcome to return.
