For the next 1 week you can now read the Nogi Message of any member for free so long as you have never suscribed to this member via paid or trial in the past.
Really good deal as there are so many members that I've not suscribed to before, might be time to try them all!
* You nèed to unsuscribe before the trial ends or they will start charging
For all those with experience going to AKB48 in-person handshake sessions, I have a question which I wasn't able to find the answer for online.
I'm intending to attend the 9/6 session, and understand that they sell same day handshake tickets for sessions 3 and 4 now.
My question is- how about members who do not sell out their slots for other sessions? Is it possible to get tickets for those on-site?
I already have tickets for session 1, so depending on the situation I might want to buy a couple for sessions 1or 2, not for popular members but for those who don't sell out like Saho. Will that be even possible?
(My last handshake was for Sustainable, so it has been a long long time... π )
This is too funny to not share...
If you see her on the street, feel free to request for a Yukirin kick π
(In case anyone is wondering, this is actually just one of a series of prank tiktoks by Sally. The original question was "What would you do if you get attacked by a suspicious person on the street?")
Enjoyable show but way too short.
Can't really complain too much though as it was a rare chance to see the girls perform at such a close distance!
Happy 26!
Recently there seems to be some debate over who the best vocalist in Ikonoijoy is, but to me there is absolutely no doubt- Nanaka's deep vocals are explosive and she has a range most other singers can only dream of. You can easily pick her vocals out of any Noimi song (and she centers most of them too) and has perhaps the best overall package out of all the centers, vocal and performance wise. Imo the only one that can rival her is Iori.
Not to mention she makes looking cool so effortless!!
Looking forward to her being at the center of Noimi's charge into their brave new post-Mirei era!
Very late to post this (busy day) but happy 25th birthday Kubochan! Have a wonderful year ahead!
You will always be my Nogizaka ε₯³η₯~
And this is an excuse to post some of my favourite Kubo pics, mostly from the past year, and share my fav Kubo goods right at the end.
Hope that I can catch her at an event again somehow soon!
Just announced during encore segment of Stadium tour Day 2!!
https://x.com/i/status/2068651408304558454
Dates: 19, 20 Jan 2027
Day 1 is Hitomi's birthday!
21 Jan is Maika's birthday too!!
I'm sure it's not a coincidence they've chosen to have the dates on the birthdays of 2 of their most important members!! (Original center and current center)
​
Great news!! Time to plan for 2027 now!
Dates: 15 and 16 Oct
Venue: Toyota Arena Tokyo
Announced during Day 1 of Stadium Live
The arena is only 10k cap, so getting tickets will be a real challenge... argh couldn't they just hold it in Tokyo Dome?!
(Apparently its maximum 10k but realistically more like 8k unless the stage is in the middle)
1st ballot starts on 21 Jul but only for long term FC members who have enrolled before 30 June 2021.
You will definitely be missed by everyone.
Your personality, character and sheer reassuring presence makes you the best captain so far, in my opinion. The black graduation dress is so elegant and couldn't have suit you any better. Sheer grace and perfection.
(But of course, even our stoic captain couldn't resist tearing up at the end of Nogizaka no Uta..) π₯²
You may have left the stage but your presence will.never be forgotten. (nor will your cooking! I am waiting for you to open a restaurant somewhere. Maybe get Kubo to do the gyoza...)
In all, thanks for the near 10 years of service to the group- all without a whiff of any scandal too. Looking forward to your next step!
Ume's wolf plush is just too cute, just kept playing with it these few days. I'm just glad it arrived in time for the graduation concert!!
Other goods that came were the Biriyani ones (after like 5 months?), a bit sad cos these are almost definitely the last Nogi goods I will be able to buy with Kubo's face on it... I love the Biriyani poster but I just don't have space to put it up.
May as well join in the fun!
Half my top 10 are from =LOVE (+Naatan)
3 from Noimi and 1 from Niajoy...
About right I guess
Something new popped up from Spotify today...
Unsurprisingly =LOVE took the trophy as my No.1 artiste.
Not just due to their huge catalogue but the fact that 90% (95%?) of their songs are just so good, especially all the live versions, so it means I can listen to them on repeat everyday without being bored.
Hopefully I can double this next year π
Happy 24 to our beloved center! πππ
She will have an insta live later today at 1800 JST
This announcement right in the middle of her indefinite hiatus...π₯²
She also didn't explain why she wanted to graduate. Hope it had nothing to do with how successful Equal Love is doing now. Because they could have their big break together at anytime too.
Mirei's graduation concert will be held on 12th June, and she will be the first Noimi member to leave the group, after 7 years of activity.
Mirine will be taking a break from all group activities til at least 21 May so that she can focus on her recovery. Yes, that means she will unfortunately miss the 14th Year Birthday Live.
Hope she gets well soon! ππ»
