Asuka Saito reflects on life post-Nogizaka46. Former Nogizaka46 member Asuka Saito will appear
on another Sky airing this Saturday at 11 p.m. on Nippon TV. Ahead of the broadcast,
the show's official YouTube channel released unseen footage featuring her. Saito graduated
from Nogizaka46 at the end of 2022, and her graduation concert took place in May of last year.
In this episode, she reflects on her journey through Osaka, discussing her past, present,
and future. In the preview titled Asuka Saito's Daily Changes in Osaka, unseen footage after five
and a half years, she shares her feelings about life after graduation. Saito expresses that having
time alone feels like a luxury, leading her to seek out more travel experiences focusing on
03:00
relaxation. She mentions occasionally staying at nice hotels but usually prefers business hotels
or even local public baths, stating, When I was with Nogizaka, I loved my job and being part of
the group so much that I didn't feel the need for other entertainment. Looking back, she notes that
during her time in the bright world of Nogizaka, she might have overlooked simple pleasures like
visiting public baths, feeling they might draw unwanted attention to the group. Now, she jokes
that she visits these places without hesitation. Saito, known for her graceful dancing and stage
presence within the group, admits that she misses performing live. I love being on stage the most,
and singing and dancing in front of an audience is something I can't experience in the same way
anymore, she reflects. While Saito doesn't identify as a dancer or singer now, she has sought out
opportunities to dance again. She revealed that when she feels something building up inside,
she arranges two-hour sessions with her choreographer from her Nogizaka days, dancing
just for the joy of it. Hizuki Mukai announces graduation from Nogizaka 46. On December 1,
Hizuki Mukai, who serves as the host of the radio show Nogizaka 46 Hizuki Mukai's Thursday
meet-up on BAEFM, announced her graduation from Nogizaka 46 and her retirement from the
entertainment industry, effective December 31. Prior to her announcement, Mukai shared
the news with Ranz Terada, a former member who graduated and retired in 2021.
On December 2, Terada updated her Instagram stories, congratulating Mukai on her graduation
announcement. She revealed, we actually met on that important day and I heard directly that she
planned to graduate and retire. Terada reflected on their time together, praising Mukai's dedication
to the group and expressing gratitude for her efforts over the past eight years.
Even though she faced many challenges and saw the not-so-glamorous sides of things,
she always wanted to protect what the first and second generations built with Nogizaka 46.
Terada noted, I respect her as a kind person who genuinely cares for her own well-being and the
people around her. Terada also added, I hope we can remain friends after she graduates.
I've said that I want her to treat me more casually, but maybe my vibe makes it hard for her.
She continued to encourage Mukai, saying, you're a friend I can share both joy and hardship with.
06:02
Keep pushing until the end. In a heartfelt reply on her own Instagram, Mukai promised,
I will always cherish the feelings you've shared with me, dear friend, yes, friend.

Asuka Saito reflects on life in upcoming TV appearance.
Asuka Saito, who graduated from the idol group Nogizaka 46 last May,
starred in an episode of the travel variety show Google Pixel Presents Another Sky that aired on
November 2. In this episode, she explored Osaka, sharing insights about her past, present, and
future. Turning 26, Saito reminisced about her time as an idol, expressing that she was
an idol, expressing that she had no other ambitions beyond being a part of Nogizaka 46.
As she transitioned out of the group, she contemplated retirement but revealed that
her mother's supportive words encouraged her to continue her entertainment career.
Saito mentioned that her visit to Osaka was significant during a period of self-reflection,
where she sought to connect with her humanness. The city, she felt, helped her break down personal
barriers through its warm, honest interactions. She described the people of Osaka as somewhat
rough around the edges, yet full of love and genuine in their engagement. This experience
inspired her to strive to create authentic connections with others, grounded in love
and understanding. Asuka Saito's journey is a testament to her growth, showcasing how her
15:04
experiences in Nogizaka 46 have shaped her aspirations. Looking ahead, she remains
motivated to embody the love and authenticity she found in Osaka.
Yumi Wakatsuki stars as Benton in new play. Yumi Wakatsuki's return to the stage has fans buzzing
with excitement. Starring in a new play adaptation of Tomihiko Morimi's popular novel Ushadan Kazeku,
Wakatsuki takes on the role of Benton, a mysterious and enchanting beauty,
in a story that intertwines tanuki, tengu, and humans in Kyoto. Following her graduation from
Nogizaka 46 in 2018, Wakatsuki has quickly made a name for herself as a talented actress.
Once the casting announcement was made, her circle erupted with enthusiasm.
People who know the original story were thrilled to hear that I would be playing Benton,
she shared. Even those unfamiliar with the source material expressed interest after seeing the cast
and visuals, saying this looks fun, I want to go. I'm truly grateful for that.
Her stunning portrayal is highlighted in the promotional materials, leaving Wakatsuki
pleasantly surprised. I had no idea what my look would be until I got my makeup done,
and I thought, wow, I look so glamorous. It really helped me grasp Benton's image.
Wakatsuki describes her character as difficult to pin down. Benton is a very mysterious woman.
Benton is a very mysterious woman. You never know what she's thinking,
and her opinions seem to change constantly. She navigates between being human, a tanuki,
and a tengu, often saying, I'm human, and then shifting to but I'm a tengu.
It makes her quite elusive. When asked about the challenges of
portraying such a character, Wakatsuki admitted, I'm feeling quite apprehensive.
Benton must possess a certain allure as a woman. Characters like Akadama Sensei love her,
and Yazan is also smitten. But, I can't just rely solely on her charm. Benton also showcases
a scary side as a tengu and has moments of tension with the tanuki and humans,
so it's a tough balance to strike. But I believe it's a rewarding role.
She reflects on her connection to Benton, noting her prior experience in more straightforward,
bold characters. I've played many assertive roles before, so I have the tools to draw from.
Still, embodying Benton's allure and femininity presents a unique challenge that I'm excited to
18:00
explore. As performances approach, anticipation builds around Wakatsuki's captivating portrayal
of Benton. Fans can't wait to see what she brings to this complex character.
Asuka Saito of Nogizaka 46 stars in Vondy's new MV. Vondy has just released the music video for
his latest single, Fujin. This catchy tune serves as the theme song for the currently airing drama
Hideaway. Notably, the music video features Asuka Saito, a former member of Nogizaka 46
and a talented actress, who plays a significant role in the video. In an exciting twist,
Vondy himself directed the music video, marking his fifth project since his work on Time Paradox.
The visual representation captures the song's theme of communication, depicted through wind,
evoking feelings of both pain and warmth. Saito portrays the protagonist, embodying the message
that everyone has the potential to become a Fujin or wind god. One of the highlights of the video
includes a captivating dance sequence featuring Saito's characters, Brain and Heart. Viewers can
look forward to the dynamic choreography that emphasizes the song's deep emotional resonance.
You can check out the music video now, as it promises to be a creative blend of art
and storytelling, showcasing both Vondy's musical talent and Saito's acting prowess.

her academics with extracurricular activities, saying, I was also the captain of the badminton
team. In a humorous twist, she recounted a mishap involving her homework, explaining,
I used to be really serious about everything. Back then, we had a dog, and one day it chewed
up my homework printout. I was in tears, thinking I couldn't turn in my assignment.
21:02
This story left fellow guest Haruna Kondo in disbelief, as she exclaimed,
wait, you cried because your dog chewed your homework?
Kubo's mix of serious student life and memorable canine incidents made for an entertaining segment.

about his wife, Kazumi Takayama, a former member of the popular J-pop group Nogizaka46. The couple's
love story captured the attention of viewers, and Fukura P revealed that he affectionately calls
her Kazu-chan in their everyday life, which he shyly admitted during the show. Fukura P recounted
how they first met, stating that Kazumi was originally a fan of QuizKnock. He remembered,
she went to a mystery-solving event with a mutual friend and expressed her interest in meeting me.
She said, Do you know Fukura-san? I'd love to join you guys next time.
That led to an invitation to an upcoming event, and that's how we ended up spending time together.
Despite feeling like he was being pursued at the time, he later learned from Kazumi that her
initial feelings were not what he had assumed. With a laugh, he shared, When I asked her about
it later, she told me, that was not the kind of like you think it was. This light-hearted
anecdote provided a glimpse into their relationship, leaving fans of both the couple

Fukura P revealed how he pauses whatever he's watching as soon as he hears Kazumi come in
through the door. He explained, When I hear the sound of the door, I generally pause the video,
turn to greet her, and say, Welcome home. However, during moments when I watch some really
cool videos, like in English or Math, I'm so proud of how smart I seem. So sometimes I keep playing
24:02
the video even after hearing the door, and when she walks in, I casually say, This indigo girl.
Oh, welcome home. It's my way of showing off, I guess. The studio burst into laughter after his
revelation. Daisuke from the comedy duo Chidori chimed in, emphasizing the importance of still
trying to impress his wife. Fukura P further admitted that he purposefully chooses to play
difficult videos right before Kazumi is expected to come home, leading to playful teething from the
other guests. It seems that even after marriage, he's keen on keeping the spark alive by impressing
Kazumi with his intellect. This lovely little insight into their home life has surely warmed
hearts among fans. Anno shares nervous moments on All Night Nippon Zero. Next, here is tomorrow's
