I'm not kidding,
this is going to bother me for a while
Nothing bad, I promise!
Some context on this:
It's not uncommon for members backstage to comment on what's being done onstage, performance or otherwise.
Just personal thoughts and the like.
We still focus on the stage and everything, of course,
it's part of our jobs after all,
but we don't just wait around either.
And there was just something that struck a chord with me,
And I can't for the life of me figure out why. 
So that's I'm a bit frustrated, y'know.
The good kind of frustration haha
And I'm not going to say what it is,
bc my pride won't let me ask for help in something like this
It's a bit petty, I know
But if I am to be petty, better with this than something more important, right?

Hello!
So the week has been progressing nicely,
albeit perhaps a bit too fast, haha
I would share what me and Mii have done so far,
But that'll have to wait for tomorrow.
Just know that I've had a lot of fun preparing for this.
Although that really wasn't a surprise, in all honesty.
I hope you all can enjoy it tomorrow!

Hello!
This, I am certainly not the first to do (that honour most likely belongs to @WhiteGhost, if I know her right...)
and I know it is sort of hopping on the bandwagon a bit,
But in this case, I don't think that is a bad thing.
For those of you who weren't aware (again, I don't think there are many who don't know, but anyway)
AKB0048 had another succession today.
I liked the concert, and @Bookworm definitely deserves it.
Congratulations, Acchan!

Hello!
The second round of the Unit Taikai happened today.
I enjoyed seeing everything happening today.
I enjoyed performing as well.
Me and @Takayo were once more voted to move on to the next round.
I am extremely grateful for all the support.
@NewElla and @Yoyo-chan did really well too.
Quite honestly,
I'm glad the scores were as close as they were.
They worked hard, and gave their all on stage.
I would not have felt bad losing to Hime Caramel, if that had been the case.
They really would have deserved it.
Nonetheless, the Unit Taikai will continue next week and the units left will appear once more then.
Me and Mii are back to picking a new song.
I don't know yet what it will be, but I am looking forward to next week as well.
I hope those of you who can and want to join us then will.
For everyone else, whatever you may be doing at that time, I hope it goes well.

Hello!
Some people have been posting progress updates and small teasers and stuff.
It is honestly really nice to check through them every once in a while.
Yes, I'm on break right now.
Using the phone is for breaks and such after all
Me and @Takayo have worked hard so far as well.
I hope everyone are excited for this second round.
I know I sure am. It's been a blast so far, and I don't see how that would change.
Well, back to practice, I suppose.

Hello!
I just wanted to make a shorter update and summary of today.
First and foremost,
Thank you to everyone who came to watch today.
Thank you to everyone who followed the event online.
I say it a lot, but it really does mean more than we oftentimes can convey to us members.
Everyone did really well today. I honestly think that.
There were some surprises,
but that's bound to happen in an environment such as this.
I am a bit sad that there are some acts that do not get to continue this next week,
but that is the nature of competition, I suppose.
Me and @Takayo managed to get through to the next round,
and I am extremely grateful for that.
Thank you everyone who voted for us, and also to those that didn't.
Miichan is someone I treasure a lot, and I am grateful for any opportunity to spend time with her.
Whether that is while working as a part of the Unit Taikai, as a part of Team A, or just to hang out.
Standing on stage with her will always be a joy to me.
Thank you too, Mii.

Hello! 
I haven't had much chance to talk with Hikari-san like I did last year, 
so I have no idea of the total vote count, but given the preliminaries, 
Us members will likely be blown away once more. 
I have no idea what the current standings are;
and I'm honestly glad I don't. 
Of course, I have some theories, 
but they're just that. Nothing more. 
I do hope the Senbatsu does include some who haven't been regulars in the past though. 
But these are just my thoughts though. 
Don't put too much stock in them. 
And, as others have said before me, 
if you still have a vote to cast on your favorite member,
please remember to do that. 
Signing off for now, 
I hope you all have a good day.

Hello, everyone! 
Just got back from the preliminaries.
There were quite a few surprises, 
and I'm really happy about that!
The amount of votes really blew me away. 
Not just mine, but in general. It's a lot of votes. 
191 million. 
Just, what?
I was able to rank 4th.
Of course I'm happy about that, but in my opinion, that is not the number that counts. 
Whether or not several votes came from the same person or not, each one represents something to us members. I'm not sure entirely what that is, but it isn't something I can easily define.
I'll have to give that a thought. 
That aside, I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart. 
Thank you for casting a vote, no matter who it is for. 
Thank you for supporting us, whether in the SSK or just in general.
Thank you for finding enjoyment in what we do.
Thank you. 
//Takamina.

Hello,everyone! 
So preliminaries are tomorrow. 
If I said I wasn't nervous and excited, 
I would be lying. 
Everyone has been working very hard so far,
and it's honestly really nice to see. 
Of course, I'm not saying that people are slacking off normally, 
people are always working hard, but there is definitely a change in atmosphere. 
It is a bit hard to describe what that change is,
but I think that that's a positive thing.
Yes, the Sousenkyo is a competition, and a lot of members are competitive,
so of course that affects the mood, but there hasn't been any animosity born from it. 
And I honestly love that. It's like we've become like some sort of odd, big family. 
So I guess this is some sort of "Thank You"/appreciation post to my fellow members. 
You are all great. Thank you.

Hello!
I finally got back my poster,
and I'm honestly really happy with how it came out.
Especially the sunrise;
I know capturing light sources and colours like these are very difficult to pull off.
Props to the photographer for being able to pull it off.
I know I said it was a location shoot, and some people have asked me where it was.
It was on Eurostar, and I honestly really enjoyed my time there.
The nature is amazing.

==[Real Life: 2017.05.29 | SC0126.05.29]==
Hello!
So a few people have asked me about my Sousenkyo Poster this year.
Don't worry, it's coming,
It's a location shoot, so it took some time to sort out,
but it's currently in processing.
I'll likely get it back in the next couple of days or so.
This'll be the first place I post it as soon as it's done
Everyone are working very hard, so if you have the will and ability,
please vote in the Sousenkyo for whomever you'd like to rank.
//Takamina
==[Real Life: 2017.06.16 | SC0125.06.16]==
Now it's only a couple more hours left.
Honestly, I'm starting to get nervous.
I haven't seen any numbers,
but Hikari-san has been surprised by the votes.
Or so she says, at least.
I'll see you tomorrow?
