The gap between her 20-year-old self she once imagined of and her 20-year-old self in reality makes her feel disappointed. More or less, everyone feels the same way. So, the future will change depends on whether she rejects it or sees it as an aspiration.

TAKAHIRO, a dancer who is always being the person in charge of choreography for all singles of Keyakizaka46 up until now and also involved in concert production on their first summer tour. Regarding to their performance, what kind of change does he feel? What can be seen from the girls that encountered their own limit is that they want to create by themselves a group called Keyakizaka46. - This year is really an intense year for members and TAKAHIRO-san as well. When you look back at 2017, what kind of development do you feel from them? TAKAHIRO: If there was a strong sense of unity last year, then I feel the emergence of “individuality in unity” charm this year. I have been together with them since they were still amateur, this year they pay attention to each other more deeply, each member expresses their thoughts frankly. While still putting the group first, each member also thinks about what do they want to do as individual? What do they think as individual? Within the iden...

Tsuchida Teruyuki and Sawabe Yuu (Haraichi), two MCs that always watch over the girls at their own regular television programs “Keyakitte, Kakenai?” that started airing right after their establishment, were looking back at the group in 2017!

It would be a waste if you overlook it! “Friendship of Cat and Horse”, the most unlikely combination in the group! BRODY editorial have given it a thought for a long time about which members form the strongest combination in Keyakizaka46. There has to be a dream combination somewhere, and finally we realized it. When we combined these 2 girls, infinite possibilities occurred! These 2 girls, one with a horse-like seriousness to her and the other a cat-like unpredictability, have shown us an unexpected chemical reaction. - : Interviewer Y : Sugai Yuuka M : Shida Manaka Two girls that admire one another while standing on opposite ends - Shida-san, which member do people often pair you up with? M: At first, a lot of fans paired me with Risa, but after the MV for “Hiraishin” was released, I heard a lot of “TechiPippi”. - I see, A Hirate-san and Shida-san pairing! It does exist. How about Sugai-san? Y: A lot of fans pair me with Habu-chan. - No wonder. But, above all...

Cancellation of her 1-year-and-3-month-long kennin status and receiving full-time status of a Kanji Keyakizaka46 member made her want to be herself even more… Nagahama Neru became a member of both Kanji Keyakizaka46 and Hiragana Keyakizaka46 from June 2016. For the Hiragana Keyakizaka46 Solo Concert at Zepp Tokyo that was held on March 21st and 22nd, 2017, she couldn’t get enough time for rehearsals due to the filming of Keyakizaka46 drama “Zankoku na Kankyakutachi”, and for her, that concert has topped her “most frustrating jobs” ranking. At the Zepp Tokyo Concert, I joined the other Hiragana Keyakizaka46 members just before it had started. Somehow we managed to get the job done, however, I think I might have caused trouble to the other members who had already prepared properly. At the Zepp Namba Concert that was held on May 31st, I could finally properly participate in rehearsals, and I felt a sense of unity among us. I was trying not to stand out during the Tokyo...
