    I think you noticed that she's been gaining confidence since around the time of Eizouken/46HrTV and now promoting her photobook. I was surprised at her energy in 46Hr. Up until recently, Ume’s been neurotic and negative when describing herself. In a series of interviews with 3ki, she was the only one who replied no when asked whether she liked herself, although she’s been more accepting in recent blog posts.

    If asked to describe Ume’s personality, I would actually use words like “serious” or “square.” Like on the Eizouken production, she was punctual, didn’t want to fake-hit Asuka because she’s a senpai, and was always thinking about the work and getting her wacky co-stars to focus on the work. In a 9/18 B.L.T magazine interview, while Renka and Momoko speculated whether the incoming 4ki would be loud or interesting, Ume instead said that, for her, the most important thing was a 4ki who tackles things seriously. In keeping with this thoroughly uncool behavior (lol), her answer to “What would you not lose to anyone at?” in the 2nd doc survey was “having the fewest friends” and “worrying.” I mean, this is a girl who hosted a radio show about accounting, for crying out loud. You can also see Renka roll her eyes when Ume said she wants to show the staff she’s listening in the Koujichuu impressions competition, haha. It makes sense that Ume’s the 3ki who’s closest to mature member Shinuchi, and even Shinuchi mistook Ume for being part of her same age group.

    Just because she’s serious doesn’t mean she’s hyper-competent though. Ume has said that her hometown friends actually view her as a clueless (nuketeiru) character who gets teased. In a 12/19 Bomb magazine interview, Mizuki explained that back when they mostly had 3ki-only activities, the 3ki didn’t have a coordinator (matomeyaku), so everyone just relied on Ume to lead. But now that the 3ki mix more with senpai (and have developed more, e.g. Kubo), Ume is more at ease and speaks more bluntly. In the past year, Ume was actually insecure that, in order to be more honest, she’d have to shatter fans’ image of her being cool/smooth/competent. But it seems fans have been supportive of her more negative side since then, so she's opened up. And it's not like she doesn't goof off. Here she is, turning up the cute:

    Since we’re in the Ume thread, I’d also like to mention that you can buy actual ume mayo (“plum mayonnaise”) in Japan. Apparently, Ume gifted some to Shinuchi for her birthday.

    That Rakuten cover is really good. I'll have to see if I can find a way to order that one that isn't going to bring to cost up.

    Oh boiii... One of the most revealing Nogi photobook? First one to wear a thong as well? She looks really beautiful too, like the same kind of charismatic beauty Shiraishi possesses.

    Nogizaka46 is really one of a kind of an idol group. Too many gorgeous women.

    I won't read into that re-printed number very much. Miona had 115K printed but 1st week sales came out only 46K.

    But yeah, she looks stunning...the publisher certainly knows how to utilize that tall and slender body.
