Ahhh I hate you. In a good way.

Future of Musume looking bright

Y'all don't even know how happy this video makes me and each of these songs

Miki Nonaka's accent when she speaks English: sometimes she over-enunciates like a TOEFL, and then sometimes…



From 2:34 to 3:45, but the whole video is cute. I think she, not Maria, is going to be the breakout star of the 12th Gen in the long run.

you can tell Haachin is rubbing off on her

^^ Wait wtf, why can't she do her YT videos like that.

Because we Americans are not the only audience for those. Like I said: TOEFL.

Hahahaha..."and I really really want to eat candy right now", I love it. Nonaka has really become my number 2 I think~

But rather than Haachin rubbing off on her, I think it's probably more the reason why she and Haachin were really drawn towards each other in the beginning. Nonaka just gets embarrassed more easily I think, so she was really reserved in the beginning. Now that she's starting to become more and more confident (since about last summer, maybe from being on those tv shows and being pushed in a continuous fashion) she's really started to show her colors.

Since she's becoming more confident and open, I've noticed that she has a distinctly American swagger. She actually moves differently than the other members. She slouches forward a bit (as opposed to backward or not at all), her arms are looser (as opposed to tight against her body), she's more likely to turn at the neck and shoulders (as opposed to at the waist), and so on.

whoa, is that a thing? I've never noticed the "turn at neck and shoulders/slouch forward" thing.
