Kiki's new hairstyle:

[midnightbottle]

Kiki has graduated yesterday. And has been added to JP Room, same as most OG who has graduated from/left H!P.

Interestingly, she is now in the same agency as Risa. So once Kiki has resumed her entertainment activities as a solo artist, it is very likely we will see her involving in M-line concerts and then the inevitable will come where both of them would have to share stage. I know they have made peace with what happened, but it will still be sort of bittersweet (or maybe awkward) to see them performing together.

I'm curious about this because she'll be studying in a veterinary school. I'm not sure how she can do both.

There is a possibility that she may go into hiatus like Riho/Aika did, go studying while still being on the UF roster and only resume her solo entertainment activities once she graduated.

But the announcement seems to suggest she will do both (ie. doing entertainment activities while studying). I can easily see her doing what Mai/Manaka do, just being a guest in certain M-line concerts and not headline like Miyabi/Karin/Risa/B&S.

A long-haired Kiki has appeared on Instagram to announce she's opened a personal blog.

Kiki made her post-TF television debut as the narrator of a TV show about dogs.

That is adorable and very on brand

For those wondering about Kiki continuing her idol career.......she has been added to the M-line roster and will be doing some shows:

https://www.up-fc.jp...fo.php?id=22143

The cast has been split in two (Takechan, Maachan, Karin and Kiki in one group, Miyabi, Manakan, Ozeko and Risamaru in the other) and Kiki's group has gigs on 9/23, 9/24 and 10/22.

She also has a birthday event on 9/3. Interestingly, there will be a "Praise Kiki" corner, where fans will be able to submit what they like about her.

Kiki cover video of Platonic Planet:

Okay so Mai, Manaka and now Kiki have covers videos. Is a M-line cover album coming or...???

 

 

 

 

So fans find out that the place where it was filmed is the same as Risa's Ai ga Tomaranai ~Turn it Into Love~ with Mizupon

I am surprised it's that fast. So it's in line with my guess on a M-line album cover. Or maybe they are just doing them to give the girls something to do.
I am sure Akari will get her videos next. As I said before, I won't be surprised if they will get Miyabi to do them.

 

One thing to note though, it's interesting the girls are getting H!P covers but Risa got mostly non H!P covers.

Perhaps to fit the 25th H!P anniversary theme?

[Kumi-chan]

Well, Mai's last cover is not a H!P cover, it's a song by Takeuchi Mariya.

It sounds more like giving them something, but I would love a H!P cover album by M-line members.

(Actually, I want shuffle units to be back but....)

Oh yar, that's true. Totally blanked that out.

Kiki's new cover is Yureru Omoi by ZARD.

Off topic: I can't wait for the moment when Asahi and Kiki perform in the same group

[ItsudemoAibon]

Kiki's latest, an Aikawa Nanase cover. Rock on, Kiki!

Oh well, I guess it's sort of expected? To be honest, I was pretty surprised when she decided to stick with the agency after her graduation as I thought she would have decided to dedicate her time to study.

Wish her all the best and the first TF OG to retire from the entertainment industry. I guess an TF OG reunion is pretty much not going to happen. I am glad we managed to get one during the Kisora's graduation.

[tadase]

Veterinary work can be really tough especially when it goes on later on in the study. Glad she's found something she loves to do

 

And that means the Hatsukoi Sunrise during Ninuuma's graduation is the last with the complete OGs, unless something happens during HinaFes.
