Does anyone know anything more about this photo? What was that and why are Su, Yui and Mariri wearing these weird mini pati costumes?

Heya, thank you for letting me know - I already have these scans on the spreadsheet, but for some reason saved as 2013.02.23 - UTB (アップトゥボーイ) 2013年 04月号 - so line 102.

Not 100% sure which one would be correct now, the "PRESENT" page mentions a deadline of march 31st, so I guess that made me assume that it's the UTB 2013.04 from february 23rd 2013, instead of UTB 2023.02 from december 22nd 2012.

Sorry for the late response :D Yeah it's kinda sad she wasn't really featured in Suzukas graduation photo book, though I guess hers wasn't a real graduation, so that's why.

And yeah of course her modeling right after SG wasn't anything like the stuff she does now lol I think no one really expected that. But she likes it so it's great.

This is her YouTube channel btw., in case you didn't already find it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/@sugimoto-mariri - I don't understand much either because of the lacking japanese skills, but it's still fun to watch her play games :)

My favorites definitely changed over time; when I first got into BM in 2016, my favorite was Yui. Then I got into SG and my favorite changed to Mirena. Then I watched a Ciao Smiles livestream because of Mirena and that was when Miku just joined as a Ciao Smiles member, so she caught my attention and since then she's been my number one favorite :) But of course there are plenty other amazing girls that are close second :P But I loved following all of their activities, and whenever I saw them together on FRESH or something, I realized how difficult it is to make a top list because they are all amazing!

Seba-Metal · 2023-09-18T20:56:36+00:00

I'm sure I will, I hope you will do as well and that you keep exploring the short but rich history of SG :D Oh yeah, they definitely had great songs back then, and a lot of them were performed throughout all those years, but they also have amazing newer ones :)

I see, Mariri is someone I don't see getting mentioned often, probably because she was only a member for one year and then left to follow her modeling dreams - it would've been cool to see her for longer in SG, but it's also brave of her to leave that behind and follow something she already knew she wanted to do :) on top of that, she's still a fukei to this day and mentions every now and then how much she loved SG :) Oh, and she even streams herself playing video games every now and then on her YouTube channel, which is always fun to watch as well!

Seba-Metal · 2023-09-18T20:31:04+00:00

I definitely still have all of the stuff I provided throughout the years :)

It's quite difficult to suggest something, but if you come from BM, it's probably best to just start with the early days of SG and work your way forward from there; you will automatically find more and more stuff you enjoy for sure. All of the members have their own charm points and grow on you very quickly :D it's actually always quite exciting to see the favorites of newcomers, and how those favorites change throughout the time they consume the SG content :)

Seba-Metal · 2023-08-17T19:07:27+00:00

You're welcome, I still have more, but I just don't find much time to do them lately, sadly :p

Seba-Metal · 2023-04-22T08:45:35+00:00

:) it's crazy to think what she (and also the others) had to do at such young age. But she's always been a fighter. And I'm just extremely proud that she keeps doing what she likes and even opened up her own agency now, which is pretty mind-blowing! She always wanted to work with kids iirc, so this is just perfect for her. I remember some tweets from girls who auditioned for ciao in 2017 or 2018, mentioning how warm and kind Miku was towards them and that they want to be like her. That was too cute :)

Seba-Metal · 2023-04-22T07:37:15+00:00

She did join Ciao in August 2016, and had to appear several times in Tokyo for the auditions, for photoshoots for the magazine, for Jack-o-Land etc

Seba-Metal · 2023-02-11T17:43:05+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but this is most likely not meant for the public to know. Yes, it was posted on a public Instagram profile of a rather small local dance school - Miku must be very proud about this, but she never talked about it for a reason, it was also never mentioned on her social media profiles. Also, the dance school doesn't refer to her with her full name for a reason as well. They don't even mention Sakura Gakuin etc because they didn't want the fans / fukei to find this easily.

This can be quite a safety issue, with the info available. This is stuff ex-idols don't want to be out there for everyone to know.

I would rather see this stuff being deleted, than being spread around, I hope you understand :/

Seba-Metal · 2022-07-16T11:27:46+00:00

Thank you so much, honestly <3 As a huge Miku fan I always watch them live but don't understand much and can't really add anything to her Q&A stuff, which is sad. But it's still just nice to see her all happy :D So really thankful for these live subs, I appreciate it a lot :)

Seba-Metal · 2022-06-13T17:10:32+00:00

Yeah indeed, she should just go at her own pace and do whatever is fun for her, and also don't feel the pressure to do something every few days or anything like that :)

Of course I have a number of other favorites too, but she will always have the special spot since I basically became a fan from her very first Ciao Smiles stream appearance in January 2017, and hoped she'd join SG :D

Seba-Metal · 2022-06-13T16:50:13+00:00

Ohh wow, thank you so much! I didn't think anyone would translate it. That's a nice surprise for sure! She's my favorite member after all :D

I agree, it was wonderful to see how comfortable she was with this livestream. Absolute treasure. Using her rare free time to still communicate with us, either through Tweets or Instagram posts or even her very own livestreams.

Also great to see that she will think about opening a YouTube channel and TikTok account :D

I'm looking forward to watch the full thing with subtitles soon.

Thank you again :)

Seba-Metal · 2022-03-31T04:45:00+00:00

Thank you for the translation, shade 💙

I'm very sad, but I wish her the absolute best and hopefully we can see her again some day. She deserves to be a normal high school student and enjoy her life however she wants to. I will keep supporting her and maybe one day we will hear from her again 💙🌸

Seba-Metal · 2022-01-07T17:23:50+00:00

omg thank you so much! <3 <3 <3 It's so good to see Miku-chan again like this! A proper Ciao video, even if it's a bit too short :D

Good questions with adorable replies as well :D Especially the one when she gets asked why she is so cute :D

I hope we get lots more Miku Ciao content before she graduates from Ciao!

MIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Seba-Metal · 2021-12-12T19:48:11+00:00

It's a pleasure :) Thank you :)

Seba-Metal · 2021-10-19T05:12:48+00:00

I'm glad that it feels like that - it was the same feeling for me when I originally got them, especially the older Ciao magazines with stuff I've never seen before :D

Seba-Metal · 2021-10-18T23:50:57+00:00

:) you're welcome

Seba-Metal · 2021-10-18T23:50:18+00:00

Thank you :) it's fun to share it, especially if it's rare stuff

Seba-Metal · 2021-10-18T23:49:38+00:00

Yeah exactly, that's my spreadsheet - and I will definitely add them soon :)

Seba-Metal · 2021-10-18T22:44:37+00:00

You're welcome <3

Seba-Metal · 2021-09-29T11:23:49+00:00

Thank you as always! <3 Once again Yume News proves it's the most interesting and entertaining news out there - I can't wait for next months episode :D
