Hello, I’m Meronoʕ·͡·ʔ
I’ve received a lot of correspondences recently for the counseling office 💌
※Ikeda put her all into answer all these questions so brace yourselves for a long blog
Well I guess…the bigger the better when it comes to both blogs and dreams!
Well then first off the, Blog tour, Giganto Hokkaido section, let’s go
*MV🩹
The MV for our new song “Band-Aid HJagasu You Na Wakarekata” is now out! 👏🏻 ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ ))(( ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ 👏🏻
Right now I’m calling in BanHaga
Camera Shy Aya
We shot the video in the fiercely shinning sun 🔆
Ugh…It was legit sooooo hoooot ˣ˷ˣ
The other day when writing my blog the reason I got sunburnt was because of this MV, did anyone realize it? You’re all super sharp!
All of us we’re scorched like well cooked bread
How hot was it on the stage you ask? It was so hot that the shoes we were wearing as the outfit for the song melted! That’s why our shoes kept on making a slapping sound when we were dancing… ehehe
Blue skies, with a acrylic stage that matched the sky, along with our light blue outgit! Very Youthful!
The blue really leaves the impression of a summery song
By the way, my favorite shade of blue is teal 🪞🛁🫧🧊⛲️💙 ̖́-
( I learned this from Aruno)
If you look, please continue to watch it over and over again ̖́-
When it was released we were in the middle of rehearsals for the our Hokkaido performance, I watched it secretly backstage with Io-chan (◜︎︎𖥦◝ )
The hook of the chorus has this rolling melody that really pulls you into the energy of the song! Especially when you’re dancing, and when you’re listening to it the brightness and painful sadness really come out.
For me, including the dance scene, this was pretty much the first time I was in an MV. Of course the video that was uploaded to the official nogizaka46 YouTube channel obviously had me in it but I still couldn’t believe it
When they were shooting the MV for ‘Zetsubou no ichibyou mae” Saku-tan and I were like ‘So this is what it must of felt like to shoot the MV’
The me at that time was probably wanting to look at this MV so much.
I couldn’t choose a single picture so it’s fine to just put them all together right
Digression:
At the part where we say “koi nante seigyo funou’ the camera moves out and inadvertently my skirt comes up and deep down I was like ‘oh no’ but when I watched the MV it looked really good so in the end everything worked out great.
If you want to check it out the time stamp is 3:43 ´▽`)ﾉ
The effort and strength of the staff is huge…I’m so glad that we were able to make such a wonderful MV together. Thank you so very much!!!!
*TIF
We appeared at TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2022!
To the staff at the venue, and to everyone who lined up at the venue to come see us, and to the people who knew about the appearance and watched from the live stream, thank you so very much!
Since it’s summer! We wore a eloquent and refreshing no sleeve outfit
The set list was
Zetsubou no 1byou mae
Guruguru curtain
Kimi no Na wa Kibou
Oide Shampoo
Girls Rule
Band-Aid Hagasu You Na Wakarekata
We did songs that were reminiscent of Nogizaka’s history, Fresh summer songs, so doesn’t that make it the best setlist?
In Oide Shampoo everyone danced along with us during the hook of the song, when I saw everyone dancing, I did my best to use that as a way to show you my smile, but it turned into a laugh. (This is a secret but, when I’m nervous my face becomes stiff and I need to physically push my face into a smile, don’t tell anyone)
Seeing all the other performers and seeing the stage for the first time and being surrounded by all the staff was a fresh feeling. The venue already had this aura of hype and energy even before we came on stage, and so I wondered if there was anybody that had come to cheer us on? And to tell you the truth I was a little bit nervous on the wings of the stage.
I went around to the other members being like ‘I inject you with fighting spirit’ while gently hitting them on the back, but in reality, I thought my insides were going to become my outsides and so that’s why some of the other members were giving me side glances… lol
While still trembling, I managed to wobble onto the stage but when I saw my name on a towel raised up in the audience I felt at ease and all at once I was overflowing with happiness!
I’m glad I saw it ( Ꙭ)
While performing I got dragged along by the tension and energy of the crowd, so much so that I felt it on my skin and I was so glad and it was a lot of fun. It was thanks to all of you, so thank you so much!
That’s right, in the middle we did an MC where we introduced ourselves, of course there was a lot of people who didn’t know who I was and so I got advice on whether I should try and cram everything into my self introduction (ex. Doing something like ‘I’ve spotted a Teresa Panda!!’) and if I did do you think people would just push me to the sidelines of who they should oshi… incidentally I still used the word ‘discover’ in my introduction.
Did you notice it?
Through my self-introduction I was able to discover a lot of you (^^)v
This was the first solo 5th generation event that we’ve done outside of Nogizaka.
To debut at such a major event, and of course it’s thanks to the fact that we hold the name of Nogizaka46 but even still I’m very grateful so thank you so much.
We’re still very far from the senior members but I want to hold the hands of these 11 people and head towards that goal.
Please continue to look after us ☺︎
*Midsummer National tour 🧊
This time we were in Hokkaido!
Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and our 4th venue Hokkaido.
It’s gone by so fast and we’re already in the second half of our tour, once this period is over I’m going to be closely following the dates till I feel empty because the tour will be over… (..)
As expected of Hokkaido, even though it’s the middle of August and in the middle of summer the night are so cold that they make me shiver, it’s an irredeemable land that one should experience!
To tell you the truth, when I was in my second year of high school, my three friends and I went on a trip to Hokkaido. We went in April and the temperature was below freezing, and I only brought one coat with me so there I was standing in the snow completely frozen… that’s one of my memories from high school.
Ioki Mao in shocking pink and the messenger from the darkness Inoue Nagi
This pink Mao is probably doing the coreo for BanHaga, I feel like I recognize it from somewhere.
Backstage Nagi was worried stiff and nervous and in order to cheer her on we both become dwellers of darkness.
That’s right, this performance was probably the first? That I was nervous.
Before the 5th generation members went on stage I was given the opportunity to tell the other members about how I was feeling, but like the blog title, I created a script and kept repeating it in my head backstage ( ;,;)
Even still, in the end I couldn’t even say it the way I wanted to…but I feel like I’m able to tell that to everyone right now! What I said up on that stage will be a secret held between me and the people who attended the Hokkaido live ^ ^
To everyone that stood there at that venue I could really understand how amazing you all are, from here on I’m going to do my best to support and get supported by everyone, let’s go 💪🏽( ¨̮ 💪🏽)
Digression:
The food in Hokkaido is absolutely delicious! I read a lot of comments in the comment section regarding food in Hokkaido and I was really looking forward to trying some but it completely blew away my expectations. The most delicious thing I had was ‘Ikura-don’ it was a delicacy that surpasses the category of food and reach the realm of a true treasure chest…
When I was buying souvenirs, Hii-chan went on a binge shopping spree and seeing her have to send them back home was funny and weird, she was extremely generous to the shop staff! Is what I told her, she’s such a good kid!
I bought a single box of cookies and I’ve been eating them slowly, in order to not eat them all I try not to eat too many of them, but every time I do I can’t help but cry at how delicious they are. Hokkaido is amazing…
“diet recommendation’
I’ve eaten so many delicious things recently and so I’m currently on a diet. Honestly though, my stomach is always growling and so I’ve found that whenever I eat anything delicious I have a tendency to start crying.
On this diet each one of my meals is like a solo documentary without musical accompaniment, everyone what do you think? ^ ^
*TV 🦈
Honestly I just realized my latest ranking is 8th…that’s right 8!
Hooray, like I though I’m loved by the number 8 ehehehe ( ◜︎︎𖥦◝ )
The 8 that I’m referring to is from the 372nd episode of Nogizaka Under Construction, 5th generation sports athlete ranking
I was in last place at the end of the first half and I was really depressed but I’m glad that I was able to make a comeback.
As expected my downfall was due to the 50m dash… I thought my running style was fast but I wasn’t moving forward at all -by mom
To all the patients with Tereru disease let’s give up on running, and if we do then I’ll have one less weakness.
The key to me pulling myself out from last place was the relay… team natural spring water did their best 🚰
As expected the pressure put on by Saku-tan was amazing, to stay so energetic all the way until the goal! I’m glad that I did trip and fall during the race (sweats)
The first time I participated in a recording for Nogizaka Under Construction, Bananaman-san called Saku-tan Bike Kawasaki Sakura…I now understand what they meant! It was just foreshadowing for this event right?
When I become a Kamen Rider I want Saku-tan to be my bike, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about.
The reversal happened after I lost a close battle…but after watching things look up for me Io-chan decided to create a dirty strategy, I was super shocked at that Ioki Mao
(TL Note: what she actually says is Odoroki Momo no Ki Ioki Mao which is a pun on a pretty much dead idiom ‘Odoroki Momo no Ki Sanshou no ki’ which means to be very surprised)
…It was a really good battle, fueh (whipping sweat pose)
Thank you to everyone that watched it (`•∀•´) smug
New Nogizaka Star Tanjou!
Everyone, did you watch?
Last week’s broadcast we sang Rats & Star-san’s “me Gumi no hito’!
Team Soft cream was Naonao, Aya, Saku-tan and me. I was the Ice cream cone 🍦
It’s been a while since I’ve done half twin tails, probably not since Over Drive?
I’ve received a lot of requests in the comments and at the online meet and greets to do it and I’m glad I was able to. If there’s a hair style you want to see from me please let me know.
On top of that, next week! Will be my highly anticipated ani song special (≧∇≦)
It was so much fun to record !!!!
Make sure to check it out.
We’re taking requests currently on the program’s official Twitter ☺︎
In the comments as well please let me know some songs that you recommend, I’m always excited to find new things. Recently I created a playlist called ‘blog’ and it’s become relatively punk rock.
I’m glad to be able to be introduced to new songs, and through New Nogizaka Star Tanjou! I hope that everyone is able to be introduced to new music as well. I would be very happy if I were able to sing a song based on everyone’ requests! That’s why please keep sending songs to me 🫶🏻
For today I’m going to end the blog here!
It’s probably become very long but it was a fulfilling summer! So please forgive me
I hope that you have a wonderful day tomorrow! Teresa Power injection ̖́-
Mero “Sorry for the delay, welcome to Merono-san’s counseling room. As mentioned at the beginning of the blog we have a lot of questions to go through so let’s get started 📮”
First let me introduce to you some songs that I’ve learned about recently 📮
For some reason, my favorite songs have been unexpectedly recommended to me recently, maybe it’s because we’ve been spending so much time together that our hobbies are similar ehehe I’m glad.
Reunion/ Radwimps
For some reason I can’t find a proper word that fits this song but the feelings of really caring and treasuring someone are really well conveyed! The main character of the song that thinks this way must be a really good person
Hello/Yui
I feel like whenever I open my playlist this song is one that I often play first! The chorus of the song is really good and I always listen to it. If you like Paradise Kiss then this one also has amazing lyrics and you can identify with the song. To people who don’t know they’ll surely fall in love with it
Seifuku to Taiyou/ Keyakizaka46
In a world where I didn’t audition for Nogizaka I would listen to this song and cry, I’m glad that while in a position as a member of Nogizaka46 I was able to learn about this song.
By the way today I’m listening to LiSA-san’s Homura while writing this blog. We moved around a lot during the tour, and so I’ve had a lot of time to listen to music. I’m thankful for all the recommendations from everyone!
Finally the much awaited Q&A
💌 Tere-san how long does it take you to write your blogs?

💌When I went to look for a Teresapanda-chan on the mountain I couldn’t find one. I know you said that they were in a place with a air conditioner but do you think if I put some juice and ice cream and snacks in a room with an air conditioner a Teresapanda-chan will appear?
(blog Name: NAGI)

Every night I’m always troubled about what time I should have it set for? Teresa-pan what time do you set your timer to? Or are you the kind of person that leaves it on till morning?
(Blog name: 1003 Rinkyoukan)
I leave it on throughout the night, apparently people that leave the aircon on overnight are loose with their money
💌 In BanHaga during the chorus where they sing “koi nante seigyo funou’, what is the correct way to call that moment “Super Teresa Time” or “super Tere-pan time”.
(Blog name: Nanka Tekito ni kimemashita)

(blog name: Edogawa Sanpo)
Don’t forget your fixed camera!
I like loose fried rice, a long time ago I would put it between bread and eat it. While on this diet just hearing about it makes me want it… Carbonated water punnnnch (꜆꜄꜆˙꒳˙)꜆꜄ oraoraoraoraora
💌The other day at the midsummer national tour in Osaka I left my penlight at home and I waved my towel from beginning to end. In order to not forget something what should I do? Teresa-san have you ever forgot something important at an important time?
(blog name: Tere salsa sauce)
On the day before the tour I always pack my bags and then I make a list of things I’m going to bring and I check it everytime ✔︎︎︎︎
During the audition phase I was going to bring a drawing with me but I forgot it and I went empty-handed (´>∀<｀)ゝ It’s a moment I want to forget
💌There’s a lot I want to ask but for my first ever question I’m going to keep it simple. In high school were you a fine-arts person or a science person?

💌I’m thinking of making my meet and greet debut at the next meet and greet. If I go to Teresa-chan’s meet and greet what’s something that happens??

💌 Did you see any fireworks this year? If there are any, do you want to see them together at Jingu? (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
(Blog name: Pain ame ni pan o neri komu)
Large fireworks are good but wouldn’t sparklers be better for just the two of us?
💌Has there been a movie that you’ve wanted to see in theatres recently?
(blog name: panda)
One that I went to see recently was Kingdom 2!
Because I read the same scenes in the manga comparing it to watching it on the screen made it really enjoyable, General Ou ki was awesome (≧∇≦)
Other than that, One piece film red
Because Ado-san’s song ‘Shin jidai’ was so awesome in the CM I became interested in this movie. I want to see this chance in the manga. Even if you don’t follow One Piece it’s still enjoyable
Although it’s not out yet I feel I want to see Paradise Kiss, recently I’ve been listening to YUI-san’s HELLO, maybe it’s subliminal messaging?
💌 Did you drop a gold duck? Perhaps a silver duck?
(Blog name: Terezaato)
It was a yellow one (even though it’s the real thing)
💌 In the MV for BanHaga you were dancing quite a ways above the ground, was it scary to dance so high up. Do you have a fear of heights, or fear of tight spaces?
(blog name: Nihon umi no ringo)
Ikeda is simply scared of things like ghosts 😦 ;´꒳`;):
More than the MV stage the heat probably was worse, everyone was like ooh hot hot hot, they were just like popcorn ⸝⋆🍿⸝⋆
💌 I find it hard to make friends. I want to be friends with other patients with the Tereru disease. Merono-sama, Panda-sama, please save me.
(Blog name: yome-pan)
Mero ‘Ikeda doesn’t have a lot of friends in the first place…’
… let’s both aim to have deep and tight bonds with others!!!
💌 Tere-pan, which is better, meet and greet or hand shake events? ← Even if you can’t answer you won’t abandon us right? Right?
(blog name: omi-kun)
There are people that you can meet at handshake events, but there are also people I wouldn’t have met if not for meet and greets so I want to do both! They’re both fun
💌 Which Asuka from Neon Genisis is your favorite? By the way my favorite… is the one you like.
(blog name: Kachi kachi French pan)
Shin: Which Asuka was which?
Mero: ‘You’ve been looking at too many websites…’
💌 Speaking of which, have you gotten any further in Jojo yet? I was thinking about squeezing in somethings about Jojo at the meet and greet. Please tell me.
(Blog name: Kunikida)
You can look forward to finding out after coming to my meet and greet?
💌 The shirt you were wearing on the Nogizaka official Twitter was the t-shirt from the 29th under live right? Do you often wear it during rehearsals and lessons?
(Blog name: Greater Dog)
It was given to me!
I also did go to see the 29th under live.
I couldn’t tell her at the time but the mirror ball that came down from the stage and it looked like Sato Kaede-san was holding the moon on her back, it looked so cool🌙
Mero “maximum comfort!’
💌 Before going to sleep do you have a routine that you follow, if you do please tell me (I wonder if Merono-san could answer…)
(blog name: Merorianne)
I eat and go to sleep right away! If my blood sugar level isn’t high I can’t sleep. It’s probably not good for my health so I don’t recommend it
Mero “or so it appears’
💌 Please tell me what part of BanHaga you sing!
(blog name: Panda chocolate)
♪ ‘Mune kyun to shiteshimatta’
♪’boku ha your no sora wo miage sagashita ano seiza’
♪’koi nante seigyo funou’
♪ ima ni natte kimi wo konnna suki da nante kisetsu ha sugiteru no ni
As well as the chorus which we all sing ´▽`)ﾉ
💌 What does the number 1003 mean?
(blog name: Sensei!)

💌 I want to go to a meet and greet with Teresa-chan so please give me the strength and courage to apply ; ; !
(blog name: ₍ ᐢ. ̫ .ᐢ ₎)
Teresa-power injection 💉 ̖́-
💌 You had short hair in high school?
(blog name: te)
Indeedge
💌 Teresa-chan, what’s your favorite scene in the BanHaga MV. Also in the #terepan blog that was posted on the 15th of July it was written that ‘Ikeda got really really sunburnt’ was this due to the filming of the MV?
(blog name: Terechi)
Ohh, you’re a sharp one!!!
You get 5 hundred million Tere-points
Hmmm… my favorite scene… . Right after ♪ Koi nante seigyo funou the scene with Iroha-chan, hii-chan and me at around 3:45 I think?
We shot it in a home-economics room at a school, and I couldn’t stop looking at this bug that was stopped on the wall and wasn’t moving lol
💌 When handshake events start back up again I’m thinking about lining up in Teresa-pan lane but I think if I ever see the cute and adorable Teresa-pan in real life I’ll just end up opening and closing my mouth like a fish.
(blog name: Garnet)
Before handshake events come back you just need to practice and one way to do that is you can practice at one of my meet and greets (●︎´▽︎`●︎)
💌 My hair right now is probably the shortest it’s ever been in my life and I wanted to match with Tere-pan and so I’ve been consuming a lot of zinc. Tere-pan does you hair grow fast,,? In order to catach up I’m going to sleep early and getting up early to be a Morning Tere-pan (?) ; ;
(blog name: Chara Meru Macchiato)
Throughout the year Ikeda is Tere-pan
My fast growing hair is one of the common points I have with Higuchi-san (≧∇≦)
💌 Chocolate flavor and coffee flavor, and what’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
(blog name: ᕙ( ˙-˙ )ᕗ)
Chocolate!
I can’t drink black coffee
PS: I thought my Soft Creamz’s outfit was a limited brown color! But I understand now, I was just cone colored 🍦
Fin!
The glasses from the MV were elegant so these are necessary glasses,
Good night
