■ “I want to continue to spend time with a smile, so I hope everyone can spend time in Nico Nico” (Hinatazaka 46, Higashimura Mei).
The graduation ceremony of Higashimura 46’s Higashimura 46 was held on January 25 at the Makuhari Event Hall.
Higashimura, who debuted in 2016 as a first -year student of Keyakizaka 46 (commonly known as Hiragana Keyaki), the predecessor group of Hinatazaka 46. In addition to the cat character that is called a “cat”, it has been loved by people inside and outside the group because of the innocent behavior, also called “5 -year -old”.
He is also a member who played a multifaceted attraction of Hyugazaka 46, such as challenging “SASUKE” by making use of the high physical ability reminiscent of a real cat.
Her graduation event was a variety of events consisting of variety blocks, live blocks, and graduation ceremonies.
The first variety block is collaborated with the group’s crown program, “Let’s meet at Hyuga -zaka.” The two games are divided into four teams: “Higashimura Menzen Corps” who yearn for Higashimura, “Kosaka’s Nosai Corps”, “Kosaka’s Nosai Corps”, “Yamaguchi Family Bringing Corps”, and “Team Stopping”. I competed.
The first game was a relay that was planned in response to Higashimura’s request to do something like SASUKE. The members challenged parallel rods and strawberry covers, with their cat ears and only “Nya”. Higashimura’s “Higashimura Men’s Corps” won.
Next is a home run showdown. Higashimura won the largest home run and won the championship. And the overall championship is also decided to be Higashimura Male Corps. The winner benefits were attached to the “gold cat ear”, and the “Saw Nyan -bushi”, which is not a Soran clause, was danced on the center stage. The fans also sent a large call, “Saw Nyan, Saw Nyan”, and it was time to smile at the venue.
The first song of the live block is the first raw song that Higashimura served as the first center, “What to do? What do you do?” All members performed songs that can be said to be her representative songs.
In the following “What I want to talk to you”, the members sang with a call called “Nya” in the interlude.
Here, a short MC is sandwiched. Haruna Kawata saw a fan wearing Higashimura goods, who likes pink, and commented on a unique story, saying, “Everyone is more pink than usual. I think it’s lovely and cute.”
Next, he performed three units that Higashimura sang in a row. “CAGE” with Miku Kanamura, Haruna Kawata, “Don’t knock!” Was “Don’t knock!” I sang with Yoshika and one chorus one by one.
At the MC, Takase, who participated in “Don’t knock!”, Impressions that “this” Don’t knock! ” Was told.
From here, a special performance where Higashimura participates in songs by period.
First of all, “I have never seen a monster” in which Kaho Fujishima, a fourth -term student who yearn for Higashimura, is the center. Then, from the shout, “Let’s make Meichi strawberries jam!” In the second raw song, “The world is full of Thank you!,”, We finally created a large heart around Higashimura.
And sang “summer color mules” with first -year students. This song danced in the costume at the time of the announcement on the idea of Higashimura.
At the MC, Higashimura, who has a handsome side, talks about the episode of his luggage when he played the BBQ, and said, “Forever handsome,” “It’s too big on the back, it’s really like a wall.” He shine his eyes and praised it.
The last song of the live block is the 4th single title song “Sonnakoto Naiyo” of Hinatazaka 46. Higashimura often served as the center live, and while singing, fans called “Meimei!” The main story is over here.
At the end of the encore, a VTR was played with a message from himself in an impressive scene in Higashimura’s activities so far.
“For me who is a crying bunk. I was a child who loved moving and running since I was a little, but it was a crying insect. I wanted to change myself because I was auditioning for Hiragana. But after all, after all. I cried well.
Sometimes I was worried about such a crying insect, but the members were always nearby. When I was with everyone, I was relieved. I was confident in the group activities running up the slope. That is to dance. You didn’t shed tears only when you were dancing. So I loved the moment of dancing with everyone.
To me who was a crybaby. I cried a lot, but it was always fun. From Mei Higashimura “
And Mei Higashimura appears on the stage. I put it in a pink dress with plenty of frills, and this time I read out the speech I had prepared in front of my fans.
“Today, everyone who came to the venue and watched it in distribution. Thank you very much. I’m not good at talking, but I’ve written my desire to convey, so let me talk. please.
I have been active for about nine years since I passed the audition of Hiragana Kayaki (Keyakizaka 46) in May 2016. At the time of Hiragana Keiyaki, it was also a valuable time to cover the song of Kanji Keyaki (Keyakizaka46) on the Zepp tour, and to be able to work as a group of Kanji.
In my activities, there were many fun things, but since the early days I was a crying insect, I just cried a lot, and sometimes I thought I wasn’t suitable for idols. Thanks to everyone who supported me, I was able to do my best to this day. I always love the gentle Hisama (the nickname of the Hinatazaka 46 fans). thank you.
The members are very kind, warm, really like a family, and many reliable juniors are in the same time, and I’m glad everyone who can meet everyone and are really nearby. As an idol, I gave a lot of valuable experience. Thank you very much for all the staff who always supported me.
Today, I have a wonderful opportunity as a graduation ceremony for Mei Higashimura, and I’m really grateful. Thank you very much. I am really happy to have a place where I can convey thanks to everyone.
I was really a crybaby, but I want to end with a smile today (applause). From now on, I want to continue to smile and be fine, so I hope everyone will be happy and smile. I’m looking forward to Hyuga -zaka in the future, and I’m excited. Thank you very much for about 9 years (applause). thank you. Hinatazaka 46, from Higashimura Mei
Here, the remaining first -year students Kumi Sasaki, Mirei Sasaki, and Aina Takase appear. Higashimura’s song pretending to be “I would like to do the song I really like with the first -year students”, and performed “The Sky is different.”
This song is a unit song of Keyakizaka46, but it is a song that was performed live when there were few songs of Kayakizaka 46. The four first -year students sang with a pink sunflower.
Next, Keyakizaka 46 performed the song “Hiragana Keyaki” for the first time. The second generation also participated on the way. The venue was dyed in the pink color of Higashimura and the green color of Keyakizaka 46, the green color, and it became a scene that moved from spring to the fresh green season.
The song I sang at the end of the day with a short MC was “Joyful Love”. Higashimura boarded a trolley and went around the passage of the stand seats slowly with the fans. Then move to the main stage and talk to the fans while holding down tears.
“I’m glad I became an idol. It’s a treasure to me for the nine years of working as an idol. Thank you for your continued support today. Thank you for today.”
Finally, each member is presented to Higashimura. Kaho Fujishima, the fourth -year student, Yoi Yamaguchi, the second -year student, Miku Kanamura, and the first -year students, and the words of thanks with Higashimura told me.
As he said in his speech, Higashimura was so crying at the beginning of his subscription, and was so tearful that he said, “All emotional expression crying” (Kumi Sasaki). However, as I declared in the shadow Anna before the start of today, “Everyone will smile together!”, I got off the stage without breaking my smile until the end. The fans have seen the nine -year growth of the girl who joined at the age of 17.
On April 5th and 6th, the group’s anniversary live will be held at the Yokohama Stadium, the sixth anniversary live. The remaining three first -year students have already announced their graduation, and the group is now changing significantly. I want to see the growth of the members and the members that change every day.
