On July 31, Shiori Kubo of Nogizaka46 appeared on Nogizaka46's All Night Nippon,
a popular radio show. During her segment, she shared her recent trip to Singapore for the music
video shoot of the group's upcoming 36th single, Cheat Day, set to be released on August 21.

stating, It's really, really amazing to be able to go overseas, even if it's for work.

making it two consecutive months of international visits. However, her prior trip to Hong Kong was
a bit challenging, due to radio show commitments, she couldn't do any sightseeing and merely travel
03:05
back and forth between Japan and Hong Kong. She even faced some unfortunate luck during that trip,
as the in-flight movie options were only available in Japanese due to a panel malfunction.
This time around, although she had to leave on a Thursday like before,
Kubo noted some minor improvements. She shared,
The flight was an hour delayed compared to the one to Hong Kong, but I got to nap for an hour at
home, which was a happy surprise. She also mentioned that this time, she was able to
watch the movie on the plane without any issues and was thrilled to enjoy a buffet at the hotel
upon arrival, remarking, I couldn't do that in Hong Kong, so this felt amazing. Kubo also
reminisced about a shared understanding with fellow member Nao Yumiki about their travel
arrangements. Although the group members took different flights, Kubo was on the earliest one.
After learning that Yumiki's later flight arrived in time for room service,
they exchanged a knowing glance, realizing they could have coordinated their arrival better.
Kubo fondly recalled this moment, demonstrating the camaraderie among the members of Nogizaka 46.

Mizuki Yamashita Shines in Her First Mystery Drama
Mizuki Yamashita, a former member of the popular group Nogizaka 46,
has taken a bold step into her new acting career. Following her graduation in May of this year,
15:04
she is currently captivating audiences as the dedicated magazine reporter, Moritoko,
in her debut drama titled Furizumorikoto Kunishinio, airing weekly on Sundays at
10.30 a.m. p.m. on Yomiuri TV slash Nippon TV. This mystery drama has already started to gather
a strong viewer response as the plot unfolds. The drama is based on a manga serial that
originally ran in Kodachi's magazine pocket, and it interweaves original elements with the
unfinished story. The narrative kicks off with a chilling discovery at the abandoned Hayakawa
mansion, where the skeletal remains of 13 children are found. As the story progresses,
detective Seigi Jin, played by Ryo Narita, teams up with the mysterious woman, Hasumi Kanon,
portrayed by Aoyoshi Kawa, who claims that the mansion's owner, Hayakawa Juu-san, is not the
murderer. The show raises questions about the connections between the mansion, the children,
and the dark events from seven years ago, intertwined with a new case involving a missing
girl. Yamashita expressed her initial uncertainty about stepping into this unfamiliar role but
emphasized the importance of representing Mori's serious commitment to solving the case while
engaging the audience with the intersecting mysteries. She shared her excitement that her
mother, a longtime fan of the original manga, encouraged her to take on the role after the
announcement of her casting. Her mother's positive reaction after watching the first episode added to
Yamashita's sense of relief and accomplishment. As the story progresses with shocking revelations,
viewers eagerly anticipate each new twist in this thrilling human suspense drama.
Nailing the Perfect Black Look with Hair Tips
When you wear your favorite black outfit, the ultimate finishing touch is often your hair.
A few adjustments can help you ditch the typical heavy vibes and combat the overly
bold look that sometimes comes with it. Here are some hair techniques to elevate your style.
First, consider lightening the look with elements like sheer bangs or by exposing your ears,
thus avoiding a heavy appearance. For a sleek black outfit, start with straight hair for a
clean effect, but avoid looking too flat. Adding sheer bangs or tucking behind your ears not only
lightens the look but also frames your face nicely, striking a good balance. Next, adding
subtle hair accessories can really enhance your style without being over the top. It's all about
that understated elegance. Instead of going bold, opt for simple pieces that catch the eye without
18:06
being too flashy. Think simple metallic accents that add a touch of sophistication and can easily
be secured without fuss. For those with longer hair, gathering your locks at a higher position
can provide an effortlessly chic vibe, making your look appear fresh and engaging. This technique
particularly helps when you're in solid black outfits that can sometimes feel heavy. Leaving
a few strands out can soften the look, making a beautiful pairing with more prominent hair
accessories like ribbons. With these tips, achieving an effortlessly stylish black ensemble becomes a
breeze. Rina Ikoma shares fun moments at Naruto event. On Friday, Rina Ikoma, the former center
