No.8

I finally finished all the 3rd gens’ first blogs yesterday so I thought it might be nice to have a little index for them. While I’m at it, I decided to also post the number of comments each blog received, as a simple index of popularity so far. There are a lot of factors which are hard to track but at the very least I decided to show the date the blogs were posted. That’s a big, easy one to pay attention to.

As a bonus I’m also including some reactions to my translations of them. They’re not as useful (for various reasons) so keep in mind they’re just a bit of bonus data for fun Date posted name | comments on blog | tumblr notes, retweets (twitter likes), FB likes

Nice to meet you~! Iwamoto Renka

Good evening everyone~! I’m Iwamoto Renka! My first blog~~ (*≧∀≦*)

I was so happy so many people came to see us at our omitatekai on the 10th of December. Thank you very much!

Ehm… first, I think there are people who still don’t know me yet so I’ll start off with a self-introduction.

I’m Iwamoto Renka, from Tokyo. I’m 12 years old, in first year of middle school. I’m Nogizaka46′s youngest member. I love chocolate and pudding. Please call me Rentan (o^^o)

About “Rentan”, it was what my mom called me when I was small. Even now she calls me Rentan from time to time.

I was happy people called me Rentan at the omitatekai╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯

And we were allowed be on FNS Kayousai as well. We were surrounded by many sparkling idols, it was overpowering. Seifuku no Mannequin is a cool song, and the dance is wonderful so even before I joined the 3rd generation I had learned the dance so I was really happy! Because we were all together I was able to relax and enjoy dancing.

Ah! Were you able to find me?

With Den-chan~
