I hope Keronnu gets a push as well! She has improved a lot since debut!

 

I want to mention how much I like Keronnu's personality. Her blogs are sometimes very odd and mysterious, and same with her appearances in media.

For example, her appearance on this ep of Angerme Tokyo Sanpo:

https://www.bilibili...eo/BV1yh411n7jq

 

At 1m20s in that video, Takechan is explaining how she's never once looked at Keronnu's blog, since frogs appear on her blog a lot. Takechan hates frogs.

Tsuchiya-san then asks Keronnu what she thinks about that, and she replies:

 

Keronnu: "I think Takeuchi-san has the ability to like frogs."

Takechan: "Haha there's no way!"

Keronnu: "For me, my vector is facing towards liking them. Yet for Takeuchi-san, her vector is facing towards not liking them... but since she really dislikes them, the value is really large."

Takechan: *confused face*

Keronnu: "So I think it's possible for her to like them the same amount! Do you know what I mean?"

Tsuchiya-san: "I don't get it, ya lost me."

 

At 22m23s, during the Oogiri corner (where you are supposed to give witty or funny answers to questions, using the whiteboards they are given), the question was "What are things that are "okay if you like them" that you can just barely forgive?".

Keronnu flips around this monstrosity and says "The neck on the cat that my family got is long!":

It sort of reminds me of the "are you frustrated?" meme:

 

Then at the end of the video at 26m10s, Keronnu has to give quick impressions of other H!P members, since she lost the game.

I really like her impression of Kanatomo, but also like her quick "yeah~~!" with a peace sign for Eripon. It perfectly captures the kinda "gyaru-like" persona of Eripon 

 

There's many other examples I could give too, like her hugging the flat wall for a long while to calm down before solofes, or her intro on one of the DVD mags, or many many parts in the sanshoku dango FC events... but I just wanted to focus on this show for this post

I have a ticket to her birthday event on Dec 7th, but unfortunately I can't go, since it's at the exact same time as the two H!P KSS events in Nagoya that I have tickets for as well... I'm really looking forward to the stream though!!

Thanks! I'm glad you agree! 

 

I think the thread needs a few more Kirara pics, so I'm gonna post a few of my fave (semi-recent) action shots of her:

 

Also, concerning the video that ItsudemoAibon posted above, this picture was taken by her manager, immediately after she stopped recording:

Kirara was quite nervous to sing a capella like that, so she collapsed onto the sofa in front of her after the video ended

Yes, she definitely has that "it" factor, I agree! Although... it's unfortunate to me that her "it" factor doesn't come across (at least for me) as well as it probably could on the screen, but it definitely does in person.

This comment might sound like it's kinda out of nowhere, but I just want to mention how Kirara is the "eye contact queen" in H!P. I don't think many foreign fans know that about her. There's some members in H!P that will just stare off into a space with no people (or only at the cameras) during MCs or songs, members that will make the occasional eye contact with fans, and then there's Kirara. She almost constantly stares into the eyes of fans in the crowd, often even when she is in the middle of a conversation with other members on stage with her At the monthly KSS events in Nagoya that I go to, I have caught her many times staring at me for over 10 seconds or so, with a big smile on her face. I've had to look away since it was creeping me out, although she is my oshi. I think she's super cute (some others think she's scary), but it is a bit jarring to see those big eyes staring into your soul for long I've noticed her doing that many times to many other fans too, it's not just to me of course.

Kirara's singing still needs work, but her dancing & expressions have improved greatly, and she often has a lot of confidence & charisma on stage. She gives off that sort of "aura" during her performances, especially when viewed live, IMO.
Ichika-chan also agrees that she gives off an aura Kirara was the only one she said that for (giving off an aura) during her KSS Unit & KSS interview series


It's really too bad that Up-Front are ending those monthly KSS events in Nagoya at the end of Dec 2021. They are mainly what has shot Kirara to the top of my H!P member ranking. She's usually in all of them (often as the MC leading the event), and she shows a ton of personality in those events. It's too bad that Up-Front never records those events in Nagoya... I wish other people here could see them as well Met-kun writes really detailed reports on most of them for those that are curious though.

EDIT: Also I forgot to to mention that I like this "Captian Rino" game they did with the KSS Unit on the Omake channel:

I especially like this part:

She's sometimes a bit goofy and clumsy like that, but especially at those KSS events

Marine had a full-page article written about her in her hometown's newspaper:

 

 

Here's the online version of the article:

One part of the article mentions Marine's older sister, how she is a H!P fan that introduced Marine to H!P, and convinced her to audition.

Marine has talked about her older sister on her blog before, but has never mentioned who her older sister's favorite H!P member is. Does anyone know? Has it been mentioned on radio or somewhere? I'm curious
