We Still Subbing

What is important for me in my daily life. I guess it’s “the attitude when interacting with people”. I’ve always had in mind to cherish the people who cherish me. Family and friends, staff, the fans who support me. What I also try to do in my relationships with people is to accept them. If you want people to understand you, first understand them without forcing your opinion on them. This thinking was born through group activities and was established over the course of five to six years. When I think back, at the beginning I was very childish, and there was a time when I thought, "If they don't understand me, then that’s it”. At one point, I changed the way I was feeling, and the environment became more comfortable. Now, even if I hear a different opinion, I say, "I see, I see. That's one way to think about it," and draw close to them. There are a lot of people, and not all of them have the same ideas, and there is no need to unify them. It is important to have a ...

The first thing that comes to mind when speaking of the word “first”, is my first photoshoot with Nonno. It’s like a dream to be able to appear in a magazine that I loved to read, so I was just so nervous about the photoshoot! I also have good memories of how the staff helped me relax on the set and how much I enjoyed the challenge. I always feel the love of the staff and how truly warm they are on the set! Every year on my birthday, I receive a handwritten letter from the editorial staff, and they also give me loving advice like, "Since you were able to do this, for the next time you can keep these things in mind.” And I try my best while keeping those things in mind. As the number of things I could do increased, I became proud of myself as a model and gradually gained confidence. Recently the number of junior models have increased, and now that I’ve become more of a senior, I’ve also been feeling more “firsts”. By initiating the conversation with junior models and people I'v...

  Q1 Favorite color? Blue. I’m the type of person who changes her favorite color from time to time. But it seems that I often wear blue in Summer. There are many items with shades of blue in the new clothes I get. Also I used to be against blue eyeshadow, but during ViVi’s photoshoot I thought that it’s cute if I put in a little bit of it as a point. Q2 Favorite body part? Downy hair. I often receive a lot of styling from ViVi that makes good use of downy hair! I never thought of my downy hair as a charm point before, but I started to think that it’s interesting! Ears. I like how my ears are pointy like aliens. My ears are very soft, so when I want to relax or when I have a headache I would touch it and loosen up. Q3 Is your height growing? Yes. I’m about 167cm tall now. Recently my growth spurt has been bad. I couldn’t dance. I grew the most between 5th to 6th year of elementary school. I grew 13cm! Q4 Good part of your nails? How there is a feeling of cleanliness. Q5 Which beauty...

Sakurazaka46’s Habu Mizuho (23) and Hinatazaka46’s Kanemura Miku (18) talk about their enthusiasm for the joint outdoor live “W-KEYAKI FES 2021” that will be held in Yamanashi’s FujiQ Highland Conifer Forest for three days starting from 9th July. The “HabuMiku” pair with mutual affection for each other are full of enthusiasm toward the stage at “sacred place” that is full of memories. In the place where the outdoor live “Republic of Keyaki” was held for three consecutive years since 2017, a joint live between Sakurazaka46 and Hinatazaka46 will be held there for the first time. Habu: We originally worked together, and now that we have an opportunity to do this since we have both been renamed, it makes me very happy to be able to go back to our roots. Miku: That’s right! I only got to participate once in 2018 during my first year in Hiragana Keyakizaka46, but it was really memorable for me. I felt inspired by Kanji Keyakizaka’s performances. Habu: Even if it’s for rehearsals, it makes me...
