She looks great with short hair too.

 

This hair style looks really good on her. I like it

 

Looks great I'm glad she didn't go super short, though I wonder if she'd be able to pull that style off.

 

Takayama Kazumi held an event for her fiction "Trapezium" on 19 June 2019.

Takayama Kazumi's Trapezium is one of best-sellers, which has already printed over 200,000 copies. Though there is still no plan for action plan, Takayama Kazumi told the press her teammate Ikuta Erika already asked her to let her cast in the live-action adaptation, and she even said she has already arranged the schedule for it.

Note: Trapezium tells the story about a high school girl chasing her dream to become an idol, the fiction was published in a single volume in November 2018 by Kadokawa Shoten.

 

Among of all Nogizaka achievement as a group or individual, I think Kazumin is the most impressive one. Congrats! Kazumin shines so bright this year.

 

She's looks alike with the girl on the cover

 

besides ikuta, kazumin is another member that has rare achievement in rare field. nogi and kazumin/ikuta are getting both benefit with each other.

Never change, Kaz, never change.

 

wow what are you expecting kaz? disvover new anime everyday ??

 

Kazumin cuts her hair... a lot

 

I didn't like it when she cut it last month. This length is gonna bother me more. It became hard to recognize her; she looked like Misa-senpai! It's just my opinion, so don't let it bother you, because I still totally dig Kaz.

 

It's doesn't looks suit her for me

 

At least we can say that Kazumin is true to her word

So does that mean...

We'll see her featuring in an animation
and
damn you Kiwis, she's coming your way

 

I'll always prefer long hair, on any woman. Kaz still outbeauties 99% of the world though.
