What does Habu Mizuho think are some good parts of Hirate Yurina?

―― Can Habu-san, who is the oldest of the three here, tell us some of Hirate-san’s good points?

Habu: Hira (Hirate) is the youngest in Keyakizaka46, usually she’s brightly cheerful like “Wa~ wa~”, but she’s also dependable

Yone: Yeah, yeah

Habu: When it’s time for lessons or recordings, I thought that the part of her that can quickly switch is amazing

Yone: She pulled us through when we practiced Seifuku no Mannequin for FNS Kayou Sai

Hirate: Eh~ Are we gonna talk about that~? (panics)

Yone: Because Hiratechi (Hirate) is the center, she stood in the very front, she pointed out where we went wrong with the choreo or when the formation was off. I thought that because she’s the youngest, she might have some difficulty telling us these things, but i’m happy that she’s communicate freely.

―― Hirate-san played basketball since you were in elementary school. Are you the kind of person that led the team?

Hirate: No, not at all. It’s because at the time of FNS Kayou Sai, i was given the chance to stood in center… Even during the lesson, i was in the best position to see the mirror, so i thought that i have to properly point out anything we were doing wrong.

―― I see, with that in mind, you unconsciously led them

Habu: Also, she has strong aesthetic sense. She always sprays her head with a nice scent.

Hirate: Ah, th- that is--! (struggling to say)

Habu: We danced together as part of the dance club for New Year Omotenashikai and, during the practice, Hira would spray it every 30 minutes

Hirate: It wasn’t that often~~~!

―― Is that something like hair cologne?

Hirate: Yeah, i think so. Because i sweat a lot… Originally, i bought it to imitate Shida (Manaka)

Habu: And i bought it to imitate Hira. In Keyakizaka46, it’s became a weird fad (laughs)


What does Hirate Yurina think is a good point of Yonetani Nanami’s?

Hirate: You can ask Yone (Yonetani) for advice. Just recently, there was a time where the three of us, me and Yone and Suzumoto (Miyu), had a long discussion.

Yone: Wasn’t it because the three of us happened to be together at the time? We talked about what might happen to us from now on, right?

―― Yonetani-san in the program “Keyaki tte Kakenai”, in a very Osaka-like way of “Daijobu ya de”, is concerned about the other members. Is she really like that?

Hirate: Hm… Not bright like that, she listens to what we say like “Hm, hm”, and then tells us her opinion

Yone: By the way, if i say “Daijobu ya de” the other members will imitate it (laughs)

Hirate: Ahahah! Everyone will say it~!

Habu: What i think is amazing from Yone is her positivity. When greeting the staff, she would be the frontmost member and always the first to greet.

Yone: If i’m told “It’s time to go” then i’ll move before i realize it. That’s why, there are a lot of times where i’m in the front before i’m even conscious of it

Habu: She can act quickly. Watching her, i always feel envious

Yone: Habu-chan has a cute, soft voice, but she has a very organized personality. After finishing a shoot, she would quickly pick up the trash and say “You forgot about this”. She’s very attentive to her surroundings

Habu: I like organizing and dislike littering, so on my way back, i always check if i left any trash behind

―― Oda Nana also likes tidying, she seems to clean her room all the time

Yone: Yeah. She even styles her room in a “forest” image, it calms you down

Hirate: Eh? It’s not a forest… it’s Moomin Valley right? The color of her mattress is green too. By the way, Akanen’s (Moriya Akane) room is pink

Yone: That’s right! From her towel to her air purifier, it’s all pink!

―― An unexpected tidbit came out(laughs), but Habu-chan and Hirate-san, despite being inexperienced at dancing, you take part in the Omotenashikai as a part of the dance club, right? That fact alone is amazing

Yone: Right? I think it’s amazing how they are able to follow people who are experienced in dancing like Fuuchan (Saito Fuyuka) or (Ishimori) Nijika. I’m always taught how to dance by Habu-chan and Hiratechi (Hirate)

―― But before, Habu-san said that she learned modern ballet when she was 4 years old to 15 years old

Habu: Yes. After that, i became a cheerleader in high school. i carried pompoms as i cheered and would be the one lifting someone else, so i don’t feel like i did any form of dancing with that.

Yone: So even though you only got your first dance experience after entering Keyakizaka46, the fact that you are able to dance that much means you are a quick learner.

―― Moving on to the 2nd part. Can Habu-san tell me what is a bad part of Yonetani-san?

Habu: Yone is… Her fashion (laughs)

Hirate: Ufufufufufu!

Yone: Hey! Aren’t you laughing too much~ (angry) Though i agree...

―― What do you mean by “Her fashion (laughs)”?

Habu: Plain. She often wears plain brown clothes. Yone’s fashion, in one word, is “tree”

Yone: “Tree”!? That’s shocking! But, when i’m picking clothes, i thought that i light blue or pink don’t suit me… Before i even realize it, i’m wearing a brown coat and a brown skirt. i often dress like that.

Hirate: The other day, did you ask Suzumoto to help pick your clothes? You brought a lot of things that you bought yourself

Yone: Those weren’t things that i picked myself. I’ve already given up picking by myself, so i bought lucky bags for the New Year

―― Buying lucky bags means you have no idea what kind of clothes are inside, right?

Yone: Yes. If i get clothes with a flashier colour than the ones i usually buy, because i bought it there’s no choice but to wear it, right? So i bought a lucky bag, and wore what was inside for a lesson. Then everyone told me that i look more fashionable than usual.

―― So the things that you buy blindfolded are a better choice?

Hirate: Ahahahahahaha!!!

Yone: Mou~!

Habu: Yone will look nice wearing colorful clothes. If you don’t take that first step towards wearing them, you’ll never start!

Yone: The truth is, i want to go shop together with Habu-chan. Will you come with me?

Habu: Yeah, i’ll go!

Yone: Hiratechi seems to behave like an adult, but sometimes her childishness comes out

Hirate: Eh~ What sort of things did i do?

Yone: When there are green peas in our catering, Hirate said “I don’t wanna eat this~” and pushed them over to the side. Seeing that, i think everyone thought “She really is still a middle schooler”

―― You didn’t think that your childishness is seen by the people around you?

Hirate: … Yes

Yone: Everyone knew about it! The other day too, you talked about sweets with (Harada) Aoi

Hirate: Because even though Aoi said “I want to become an adult”, she didn’t give any of her chocolate to me!

―― Hirate-san, you want to eat chocolate more than anything?

Hirate: …. (nods)

Yone: Ahaha!! She’s usually dependable, so seeing this cute face once in a while makes me happy

Habu: But the other day, Hira called me “Auntie”

Hirate: You got it wrong! It’s because at the time of Omotenashikai, Fuuchan said “You can call her Auntie”....

Habu: Ah~ So it’s Fuuchan’s fault~

―― That word really hits home for Habu-san, huh?

Habu: Yeah. Because i’m still in 3rd year of high school!

Hirate: When i had dance lesson with Habu-chan and the others, and the image of me on a swing came on TV, you all laughed at it...

―― Is that perhaps the photo taken by Shinoyama Kinshin-san for your Hustle Press solo shoot the other day?

Hirate: Yes. When i saw that, i said, “We should’ve appeared in Omotenashikai swinging on a swing” and everyone laughed at it!

Habu: Because you really suit a swing! (laughs) That picture is quite popular among members.

Hirate: I’m… already an adult!!!

―― And last is a counter from Hirate-san. What is a bad part of Habu-san?

Hirate: Her movement is strange! Even when we are doing Running Man, her legs and hands don’t move and the rest of her body stayed stick straight.

Yone: Because she is tall and has good posture, it feels like she’s the only one stretching out.

Hirate: Yeah. Even when we do radio exercises, she would jump forward with her body still straight. So she looks so big and… Ufufufufu!! (Laughs as she remembered)

Habu: When i’m seriously doing radio exercise, everyone would laugh at me like this. I’m doing it properly because i was told that if i do radio exercise properly, it’ll stretch my body nicely!

Hirate: Also, “Habu Dance” is funny. When she’s standing upright, she would sway left and right like a penguin. It seems like it’s an unconscious habit of hers

Yone: Eh~ I want to see it~! Do it, do it!

Habu: It’s not that strange, you know? I just stand normally, slightly open my arm and legs, and then sway like this….

Hirate & Yone: (Burst out laughing)

―― Ah, a Yajirobe (Dragon Ball character) like movement (laughs). By the way, is Habu-chan the biggest anime lover in Keyakizaka46?

Habu: Sugai (Yuuka)-chan likes it too. But i don’t plan to show it much in front of people

Hirate: But, after the footage of me on a swing, there was news about a Love Live! song. Habu, who was sitting on floor, suddenly stood up! (Laughs as she remembered)

―― There’s some impact when a person with 171cm height suddenly stands up (laughs)

Hirate: Yeah. And then, she suddenly started dancing! Ahahahahahaha!!

Habu: (internal screaming)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The temporary unit name of this trio “Shingeki no Keyaki”

Because she is tall, Habu was given the nickname of “Shingeki no Habu” by her father. The origin of the name is, of course, from the mega hit manga series “Shingeki no Kyojin” where there are titans who appear to eat humans. And then, when asking Habu-san about comparing the other 2 members to Shingeki’s characters… Hirate who has a “short cut”, is “cool”, and has “strong athletic ability” is similar to the story’s heroine, Mikasa. As for Yonetani who loves food, she is a perfect comparison to the female soldier Sasha. Incidentally, when staff brought out lunch boxes and snacks, Yonetani’s eyes lit up as if she could only think about food.

Hirate and Yonetani have never read “Shingeki” so they didn’t immediately understand the meaning the name of the unit. Because of this, Habu preached to them about the goodness of “Shingeki”. It was as if we saw the day “Soldier Habu” was born. Although Habu was supposed to be the titan annihilated by humans… (excuse us)
