Rena’s new Ameba blog.

Rena has started a new blog at Amebla with the following contemplative post:

From today I’ve started an Ameba blog, I’m Matsui Rena.

Yesterday I graduated from SKE48, from today it’s a fresh start. A new start. I’m setting sail.
September has the image of a new school term.
The days of the air tinged with heat are gone and it’s become very cool.
Perhaps it may rain. Ah, It makes me feel like summer is over.

A new season, a new life, a new me.

I don’t think I’m going to change things suddenly, but change calmly, so I’ll just be myself.
I think that to experience something is to feel it at the right time.

I’m going to do my best so that I can give everyone a good report.
Please wait for me, alright?

Don’t even joke about taking Rena’s shaved ice.

Just where did Rena’s shoe end up?

There was an interesting thought from Denny Sinnoh in the comments of my earlier post about Matsui Rena’s shoe flying off on last week’s Music Station.

Where did the shoe land?

The Music Station set can seem to be a large and confusing place at times with small pockets of audience in various places, so I watched the video again and it seems that her shoe landed at the back right of the stage as you can see from the long shot above.

So no free idol shoe for a fan, unfortunately. At least it didn’t land on another member’s head.

Speaking of Music Station, AKB48 are on this week performing “Green Flash”.

Shoeless Rena.

I didn’t notice this happen when I first saw it, but here’s an animated GIF of Matsui Rena’s shoe flying off near the end of “Coquettish Juutai Chuu” on Music Station.

If you look closely you can also see it coming down over to the right when the camera angle cuts.
