@ItsudemoAibon

I watched that tinytiny episode in full, and I feel really bad for Honopi that she had to hide from her mother that she auditioned for H!P. I'm glad it worked out in the end, and that her and her mom seem to be on somewhat better terms now... because I really like Honopi and am glad she is in BEYOOOOONDS.

 

I'm just speculating here... but not wanting to upset her mother is also probably why she feels she had to twist the facts in that episode about how she became interested in H!P and wanted to become an idol.

Honopi described in that episode that she got into idols, MM, and H!P generally around the same time as the Only You audition... but some people in the Japanese H!P fandom discovered that Honopi was in a H!P cover dance group (called "Evening Musume。") at her high school over a year before the start of the Only You audition was announced. Her previous social media accounts also show she has been a big fan of Love Live, Vocaloid, and other idol-related things since at least early middle school. I wonder if her mother didn't know those things (and maybe still doesn't know those things?). I imagine Honopi probably felt she needed to hide those things, and possibly continue to hide them due to fear of her mother knowing and being opposed to them... :(

 

Hopefully she'll be able to come to complete terms with her mother, and her mother will be more accepting of Honopi and her interests... if they haven't come to complete terms already.

 

Anyways... I'm glad she's able to continue her piano studies in University, while also being a piano-playing idol in H!P. Up Front sometimes does many things I disagree with, but they have always been generally good about allowing their idols to balance their work and school lives.

Almost all the comments on FB is how well Honopi speaks English. She's just an amazing girl.

Honopi had a bit of a good Tennen (airheaded) moment on the latest OMAKE channel video for "Now Now Ningen"

 

 

At the end of the video, Honopi had 10 seconds to describe 5 things about the MV that she likes or recommends.

She fired off quickly:

1. The outfits are cute!

2. Everyone is cute!

3. Everyone did their best preparing/rehearsing!   ......except for me :lol:

4. The robot is cool!

5. She said "Emoi" (meaning "emotional"), then wanted to change what she said to "Kirei" (meaning "beautiful"), but ended up jumbling the words together, and instead blurted out "Kimoi" (common slang term for "disgusting/gross"). Everyone burst out laughing and looked shocked because she said they were all gross and disgusting by accident :lol:

They need to have her make an illustrated alternate cover for a BYNDS release one day. Make it a pre-order bonus or something.

And it was her first time; she didn't really know what she was doing, didn't even understand making patterns.

 

An actual genius. :lol:

Happy birthday indeed! <3 <3 <3

She is such a sweetie, how can anyone not like her?

She performed Mano Piano at the Solo Fest, since I didn't watch it live I can't wait to see how well she did.

And......from BeyoNobi:

Honopi has a couple of TV appearances coming up. On the 19th on Nippon TV she'll appear on "Yomiuri Premier" and on the 21st TV Asahi's "Untitled Concert."

And now she's starting to give us some idol poses:
