It's Valentine's Day! Or maybe I should say... It's Valentine's Day. There is no special someone in my life, so my only chocolates came from a student.
But this card is a nice treat. Yukiko Kinoshita, now Michelle Kinoshita, is the only member of SKE48 I actually know. Well, she was the only member I know - she left the music group long ago.
Based on her Wikipedia page, she's a baseball fan and a black belt in karate. The 24-year-old is apparently still pursuing a modeling/acting career, but it's not easy making it in Japan, even as a D-list "talento" so I'm not sure exactly what she's doing. I think she released some sort of book or something (a photo collection?) a year ago, and she still posts to Instagram and Twitter (I think, or that was a year ago), so she must be keeping somewhat busy. She hasn't posted to her blog in a year, though...
The above card comes from the fourth series of SKE48 cards, and has a nice "patch" on it. I believe this is my only Part4 jersey card that I have.
Have a great Chocolate Day...
Apparently she's half Japanese and half Columbian. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI thought she looked hapa. Very cool patch.
DeleteYeah she's half, and her attitude is pretty unique as a result.
DeleteInteresting! Have you been to any of their live shows?

DeleteSumoMenkoMan: nope. I've never tried to get tickets for an SKE48 show. I have tried maybe a handful of times for AKB48, but never got in. I kind of stopped trying at some point last year, because it didn't seem like they actually had many shows that I could attend due to my schedule.
DeleteDan: was that for me or SumoMenkoMan?... if it's for me, I don't see anything there.
DeleteSorry.. that was meant for SumoMenkoMan
