Sakurazaka46’s Habu Mizuho & Hinatazaka46’s Kanemura Miku, and their mutual love towards the joint live in “the sacred place” (Sakamichi's Tuesday 6th July 2020 column in Nikkan Sports)


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 happy to see you again after half a year.


Miku: I really wanted to meet you!


How did you two get to know each other?


Miku: Right after I joined, Habu-san mentioned my name on radio. It made me so happy that I reached out to her (laughs)


Habu: I thought at first that Miku-chan’s looks were really my type. So cute, cute, it was like “There’s no choice but to oshi Kanemura Miku!” (laughs).


Miku: I feel so happy (laughs).


Habu: She’s also a very kind person. Even during the stay-at-home period last year, we played games together remotely.


Miku: Ever since I started working as a model, I’ve come to feel Habu-san’s greatness even more. She’s so cool. I respect her. She’s popular even within the group, isn’t she? She’s also very handsome when performing!


Habu: That makes me happy! Miku-chan has a cool appearance, but when she dances, she beams with happiness. She has many sides to her, doesn’t she?.


This time, the first day will be a solo concert by Sakurazaka46, the second day by Hinatazaka46, and the last day will be a joint live performance. It will be the first live concert with an audience in a while for both groups.


Habu: It’s outdoors, and in that place we can feel more united with our fans. Summer is hot, but we’ve been talking about wanting to make it even hotter!


Miku: It’s a big place in any case, so I think that we will be running around a lot! I want to bring a lot of fun to the audience from one side to the other, so that everyone can go home after having a good time.




Habu: As Sakurazaka, we've only just started on our goal of "making each person's individuality bloom," so I hope they get to know the charms of each and every one of us!


Miku: Some of us are taking a break right now, but I believe that Hinatazaka is made up of all 22 members, and that our hearts are one. I want us to perform for the members who were absent as well!


You both really are overflowing with passionate feelings.


Habu: FujiQ is, after all, a memorable place for us. Memories come flooding back one after another.


Miku: We are soaked in memories (laughs).


Habu: In order to not let it dry out (laughs), I want us to do a performance that will lead to another concert next year! I want to get all the audience involved!


Miku: Got it!

Sugai Yuuka and the members' message to each other [Sugai Yuuka's Graduation Memorial Book] Part 1 / 2

Image
  Uemura Rina “Thank you very much for your hard work in the past 7 years, truly. I’m sure that there must have been times when you just wanted to run away, so thank you very much for staying this long. I am very grateful. As our well-spoken and courteous Captain, Yukka has always done the greetings on behalf of the members. There were a lot of members who used Yukka’s blog as reference when we were at a loss on what to write in their own blogs. I think that she was the best role model for everyone, both as an individual and as an idol. But when Yukka slipped on her words at a very tense moment, we all burst into laughter, and it created a good atmosphere (laughs). From now on, live as you want, Yukka. Let's continue to be friends!” Yuuka: Lately, there are many moments where I feel that Rina has “grown mature”, and she has become someone I could talk about the group with. As she became such a person to me, it makes me happy how we have built a comfortable relationship, like how be

Kobayashi Yui interview in Tokyo Calendar March 2024 edition

Image
The interview was conducted after the end of Sakurazaka46’s 3rd Anniversary Live, and right after Kobayashi Yui announced her graduation. The month of December. Kobayashi-san, who exudes a mature atmosphere, blended in with the streets of Ginza in no time. That was the picture at the beginning, taken on a street corner. First, I asked her about her impression of Ginza. “I have the impression that it’s quiet and calming. I feel that most people there are those who are working nearby rather than youngsters” she explains, but also adds that she’s not knowledgeable about Ginza. “There are so many stores here that I feel like exploring. I’ve never been inside a brand-name store before, so I’ll start from there (laughs)”, so she aspires. She sounded as if she would feel more satisfied with her first visit to a brand-name store than with anything she would purchase inside. She also mentions that she rarely eats outside. She used to go out with foodie ex-members Harada Aoi-san and Ozeki Rika-s

Habu Mizuho and the members' message to each other ["Destination" photobook] Pt 1

  Question for members: In all this time you worked with Habu, which moment left you the most impression? What kind of presence is Habu for the group? What part of Habu makes you go “I love this side of hers” or “This side of hers is so lovely”? Please tell us “A secret about Habu only I know about.” Please give a message to Habu, who is moving toward the next stage of her life. --- Habu comment on 1st gen members: The 1st generation member with whom I have spent eight years with. The presence of my “genmates” always reassures me at any given moment. They have saved me countless times. I’d like to convey my gratitude and “thank you” for the four of them who would understand and accept me no matter who I am, and for giving me the push I needed to set out for the future. Uemura Rina Habu comment: A kind person who, in a good way, never changed in the past eight years. She would lend her ears and comfort people with an approachable atmosphere. She feels like “an eternal Idol” not just for
