KINMOKUSEI




Yahokichi -
Shimoda Izuki here.


The music video for "Kaze ni Kinmokusei" has been released! I'd love to hear what everyone thinks about it (˶' แต• ' ˶)












↑ Sumire-san took this photo for me! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
I have Sumire-san’s cute selfies saved on my phone right now ♡♡

During our break, I got to snuggle up on Hiraho-san's lap ( *´﹀`* ) ehehe

Sitting there all snug and cozy ✌๐Ÿป

With scenes of us playing around and having a barbecue, this music video really lets you soak up the summer vibes just by watching it ☺️

We actually played around innocently, using water guns, blowing bubbles, and eating lots of our favorite foods ๐Ÿ˜Š
We even played tag!

The lyrics are wonderful too, so I really hope you'll give them a read! ๐ŸŽถ



I really love the little turn we did during the intro of the song.

The lyrics where it goes, "amai kaori ga shita boku no sakkusu ka doko ni saitenai (smell something sweet, wondering if it was just an illusion since there were no flowers blooming anywhere)" is something I'd say everytime autumn rolls around, like, "Kyou Kinmokusei no kaori ga shita! demo mitsukannakatta (I smelled osmanthus today! But I couldn't find the tree)" or somewhere in the line. It brought back a flood of memories from my middle and high school days, filling me with a deep sense of nostalgia.


When singing the "atsui natsu (hot summer)" part of the chorus, I thought back to my own experiences of youth. I feel that time always seems to fly by the fastest when you wish those moments would last forever. That’s why, during "tick-tock tokei no hari ga (tick-tock, the hands of the clock)" section, I danced imagining the steady, rhythmic movement of the hands, while for the "Katteni susunde shimau (moving forward on it's own)" part, I used my movements to express that feeling of reluctance to let go.

I really love the lyrics in the second chorus, too.
When I interpreted the line "Korekara otona ni natte dou ikire ba ii no ka (How should I live as I grow up?)" not just as the present moment but as the life stretching out before me, I felt a lot of anxiety. However, I was greatly encouraged by the lines "So, kantan ni wasure rare nu dekigoto tte taisetsuda, itsuka a jinsei no chizu ni naru (Events that can't be easily forgotten are precious; someday, they’ll become a map for your life)".
It made me realize that the experiences and emotions I’ve had, and those yet to come will surely serve me well in the future.


The lyrics in the intro and outro are identical, but when I imagined this song as a story in my mind, I felt that they likely carry different meanings.
That’s just me, though!

Immersing myself in a song like this and coming up with my own interpretation is a hobby of mine.
(↑ It’s something I always do on the sly)

I went to Disney just the other day ๐Ÿ˜Š












A friend of mine taught me how to take photos properly ( แ› ) hehe

She showed me which angles look stylish, explained that certain image qualities give a retro vibe, and advised on which settings best suit the atmosphere of the location... and so much more (* ॑꒳ ॑* )⋆*
I'm learning a lot!!













I went to Disney hoping it wouldn't rain that day, but it did ๐Ÿ’ฆ
Guess I'm a rain magnet...















By the way, I prefer holding the umbrella for others, so I ended up carrying my friend's umbrella the whole time ☔️

Sincerely, Izukichi

Yahokichi Shimoda Izuki here. Thank you so much for the miguri m(_ _)m I’m really happy that the 17th single period brought me so many wonderful encounters! It seems like our warm, warm community of Roomies is growing too, and that makes me really happy (˶' แต• ' ˶) I often get asked, “Can I become a Roomies too?” ...Like, what do you mean?!!!! If you’re already interested in me, then you’re already a Roomies! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป‪♡♡ From here, I want to talk a little about my thoughts! The Senbatsu lineup for the 18th single was announced recently on Hinatazaka de Aimashou, right?! I didn't make into the cut this time, but I don’t want all of you to take it too negatively either. I know it’s not easy to change the way you think about something so quickly. I’m the same way, so I understand... This time too, I took a little time to sort through my feelings before putting them into words. So, even if it takes a little time, I want you to spend each day smiling with me. Hiragana Hinatazaka46 ha...

I'm smiling just fine

Recently on Hinatazaka de Aimashou,  both the formation and the Senbatsu lineup for Hinatazaka46’s 18th single were announced. To be honest, it’s really difficult to put into words how I feel about the announcement this time.  To put it simply, I was disappointed. After the Senbatsu announcement was over, plenty of emotions came rushing over me that I couldn’t stop crying. I cried so much that even I was surprised, and my tears made it difficult for me to see what was in front of me. I found myself thinking about everything I had worked hard on during the 17th single period, the things I wanted to work even harder on from here, and how far there still is between the person I want to become and who I am right now. I’m frustrated, and it hurts. Of course, I understand that being chosen as Senbatsu member isn’t everything.  But precisely because I have the ambition to show all of you even more wonderful scenery, I truly regret not being able to make into the cut this time. S...

Let’s update ourselves and make meringue

Spin, spin… Rattle, rattle, rattle… Pop!! Ta-da!      ∧＿∧           ╭◜◝ ◜◝ ◜◝ ╮ ‎꒰ ˶ ษž̴̶̷ ༝ ษž̴̶̷ ˶꒱ .oO Giving it my all with you, right here, right now! ‎ /ใฅ~‎◝✨       ╰◟◞ ◟◞ ◟◞ ╯ From Kanagawa, 21 years old  Hinatazaka46 5th Ge, Matsuo Sakura here. Thank you, truly, truly, truly, for opening my blog. I want everyone who always supports me,  as well as the future Ohisamas I haven’t met yet,  to have days overflowing with happiness. The formation for the 18th single “Icha Icha Mushi,” which will be released on September 30, was announced the other day. I’ll be promoting it as a senbatsu member. I was able to successfully complete the run of the 17th single, and that was only possible because of all your love and support. Thank you so much. For this single, my position and my pairing are both different from last time, so it feels like I’ve jumped into a whole new world. Now that I’ve been chosen, I want to ma...
