Shunkan Playboy 28th January 2019 Yamasaki Ten's solo interview

Image
This is what an idol looks like? Looks scary ―― Just like the 1st gen 4 years ago who took their first photoshoot with Shunkan Playboy, this time it’s the 2nd gen’s first photoshoot location as well! How was it? Ten: I have little experience with photoshoots, but this time i got the chance to take shots in various pattern. There are many costumes, it was free and fun. It was the first time I wear high heels, it feels fresh and new! …. Although there a lot of times i feel like I will lose my balance  (laughs) ―― “The youngest member in Sakamichi Group” sounds youthful! The Sakamichi Joint Group Audition has a special prize that each media could award a person to, and the girl selected by media could appear in that media... Ten: Thank you very much! ―― That’s why this is a solo interview of Yamasaki san, whom we choose for the “ShuPlay Award”! First of all, “Ten / 天” is quite an unusual name, right? Ten: Yeah it is. I have never met someone else with the same name. It...

Inoue Rina Fav senpai: Koike Minami Fav Keya song: Eccentric "The people around me said that i look dependable, but i'm actually a clumsy person lol. I have a bad pronunciation, i cannot say "zagyou (ex: za ji zu ze zo)", 2nd gen members often ask me to repeat what i said, i am currently in a special training so i can say "Keyakizaka"." Morita Hikaru Fav senpai: Habu Mizuho Fav Keya song: Abanaikashi Keikaku "I auditioned because i was moved by the audition's catch copy "This summer, your life will change", i applied at the last day of entry. My special skill is drawing landscape with colored pencils, back home during break, i like to take a walk along my favourite river." Fujiyoshi Karin Fav senpai: Suzumoto Miyu Fav song: Otona wa shinjitekurenai "My hobby is to walk around checking out second hand clothes shop while drinking bubble tea, i can play sax a little.

Thank you. Yone-san (b.l.t January 2019)

Yonetani Nanami is graduating from the group within the year. Yonemin who, with her bright smile, wrapped the group in her warmth. I will tell you my gratitude now. Thank you----- There is a lot of things I’d like to hear, but on the other hand, does Yonetani-san have anything that you want to say? “Hmm~ As usual, I’m not good at talking about myself (laughs). I think I’m better at listening to someone.” Well then, I will ask about your graduation. In blt graph vol 30, back in March, I actually sensed that Yonetani-san seemed to be lost. Has your feelings been shaken since that time? “Yes, I had various things in mind. Before I entered university, I think that my expectations and worry were pretty evenly divided. I thought about, “What should I do if I didn’t fit in?” but when I started to attend, I actually had more interest than I expected and slowly started to enjoy studying” Do you have a different feeling when you study at school and when you are active a...

The slope we climbed together, the same sky we looked up to (Yonetani Nanami x Koike Minami ENTAME December 12)

“Yonesan” aka Yonetani Nanami made an impactful graduation announcement in September. She spent a lot of time together with Koike Minami, who also came from Kansai, and she recalled memories of rushing up the slope while balancing her academic studies. I wonder what kind of scenery the two of them, who climbed the same slope together, see? Because the two of them are best friends, I asked them about their true feelings. The slope we climbed together, the same sky we looked up to. Laughs, tears, the memories of the close friends who supported each other. Koike Minami (“I have always been supported by Yone’s broad-mindedness”) x Yonetani Nanami (“I like Minami who’s always kind no matter what”) The day when our family sent us off to Tokyo -- Yonetani-san will graduate at the end of the 7th single’s activities. It seems like Yonetani-san and Koike-san have become good friends ever since the two talked at the announcement day for Keyakizaka46 Yone: Yeah it ...
