I’ve always been told that I’m a girl who brings the good weather.
Whenever we’re doing shoots outside, it’s always sunny.
Whenever I promise to go out with friends
Even if rain is forecast, you can still clearly see the blue sky.
But what happened recently,
was I remembered back on some things.
I pride myself on being someone who brings rain without fail…
But the one thing (?) that I’ve lost to is
Nogizaka46’s rain.
But even though I lost
I’m somewhat happy about it
It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
It’s a strange feeling.
I wonder if it’s because it’s Nogizaka46~
How is everyone?
It’s been a while. I’m Nakanishi Aruno~~
On Nogizaka Under Construction the other day
We challenged ourselves to climb Mt Fuji for the 30th single hit campaign
The memories~~
This was the Subashiri team who were still energetic before we started the climb.
Sunrise
Kuu-chan at the summit rim of Mt Fuji!!
If you asked me what it was like to climb Mt Fuji…
Rather than being tiring and grueling, I’d say
The number 1 thing was
“We were all able to climb with each other’s help”
and
“The bond between the 5th gen members strengthened.”
Things like that.
It was the kind of shoot that you end up reflecting and saying only good things about.
However
Because of the tough conditions of the location shoot, it really was tiring…
While watching it on the broadcast, it doesn’t show on my face… lol
Sakutan and Iroha were determined to keep looking to the end despite the conditions.
Even when I asked Satsuki-chan if she was tired, she would never complain.
Aaya was energetic as always.
I felt that even though our personalities are said to be full of individual characteristics, we mixed well together.
It was such a good experience to have…
Kuu-chan, who has been with me throughout all the years.

Thank you to everyone who attended my online meet & greet the other day!
I had fun meeting new people and returning people because the vibe was different~☺️
Hii-chan lent me some car ears which I wore for the 4th block of the day.
I was excited to show them off on the fixed-point camera
But when I put them on……
I thought it was a bit embarrassing.
Please look forward to the national m&g sessions on the 29th 🤲

Japanese onomatopoeias are funny, aren’t they?
Kotokoto nikondari (simmering and boiling)
Tekuteku aruitari (trudgingly walking along)
Shitoshito ame ga futtari (pitter patter of rain coming down)
Kapukapu warattari (laughing and giggling)
When I was young, I used to chant these as I did the actions.
Chestnuts simmering in their astringent skins is gutsugutsu
The sound of someone flipping through the pages of a book is parapara.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the sounds of autumn.
It’s a good day today to think about the beauty of the Japanese language.
Anyway, we’ll leave it here today.
I’ll write again soon. ☺︎
