Otsukaresama desu! Thanks for participating at the Oogiri! It's Hayashi Runa.

Thanks for the hard work today as well.

 
It's Hayashi Runa, the (new) 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.
 
16 years old, 2nd-year HS student from Kanagawa Prefecture.

I'm Hayashi Runa, the sixteenager that didn't bloom.

Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! today is another day of hard work!!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna! )

(ping-pong)

This is my 25th round of the blog relay.

It's the all Japan Amateur Hayashi Oogiri Competition.

sudden.

Since I cut my hair the last time I haven't done it again, and even with that, I've been bombarded with questions like [Did you cut your hair?]. Even though I didn't cut it at all.

...........................................................................

From my last blog,

① [Think of a # that doesn't make sense]

② [To the kanjis that are in「林瑠奈」give them a different pronunciation than (hayashi runa)]

③ [how do you ingest acrobatic pills, in a way like catching eye drops from the second floor?]

(the expression [eye drops from the second floor] is like something that cannot be done no matter how hard one tries, it's hard to understand, but it doesn't need to be specifically mathematics, just wittiness)

④ [Hayashi Runa got a Guinness world record, what's the record?]

We had some good laughs with the above 4 subjects.

　

Although it was a bit sudden, I was very happy to see so a lot of comments from everyone.

　

From here, I would like to introduce some of them that I personally thought that were funny, and just good.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

① [Think of a # that doesn't make sense]

《Hayashi's answer》

A. #up-san's lunch.    #上さんの昼飯

(the "ue" from "up(上)" can be also the "ue" from "hunger(飢え)"... well played runa)

........................................................................

《Everyone's answers》

A. #cheese steamed buns get too much dough on the sheets

Yeah!! I know what you mean. And the cover of the yogurt too.

Another frustrating thing is the mitarashi dumpling in the second lane of the pack.

(what japanese 7-eleven buyers are silent about?, we don't know about that tho)

A.  #I want to meet the people who think the only difference between Japan and Bangladesh is the color of the flag

I thought "you're right!!", at first,

But then I wondered "isn't the flag of Bangladesh with the circle at the left?" so then I searched it and it was true.

It's not just the color, not at all. But I like it anyways.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

② [To the kanjis that are in「林瑠奈」give them a different pronunciation than (hayashi runa)]

《Hayashi's answer》

A. Iniesta     いにえすた

(none of the kanjis has that sound, buy hayashi runa can also be heard as bold runner(hageshii run-na- , 禿しいルンーナー) = Iniesta, the football player, maybe is for that)

........................................................................

《Everyone's answers》

A. raisu (rice)・Kokumuchoukan(Secretary of state) 

mmm...pff...haha.  I'm not so much spooked about [rice] as I am of [Secretary of State].

Not the president or gods or the prime minister, which is easy to understand, but a bold secretary of state.

I like it very much. More than Hayashi Runa.

A. Iniesta

Yes, it was there. After I did it, I thought to myself, "Surely Iniesta will be there".

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

③ [how do you ingest acrobatic pills, in a way like catching eye drops from the second floor?]

《Hayashi's answer》

A. With a squishy shepherd's pie wafer.      グチャグチャオブラートシェパードパイ.

........................................................................

《Everyone's answers》

A. With an intravenous drip boiled in a humidifier. 

Wow, that doesn't sound like something you'd expect. This certainly sounds like something I could do.

I wonder how you'd use the drip, by nasal inhalation style?

I'm going to check it out.

A. Directly eating poultices while running.

It's so funny. I like it!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

④ [Hayashi Runa got a Guinness world record, what's the record?]

《Hayashi's answer》

A. 1-minute leg-hanging relay.

《Everyone's answers》

A. One-minute white-eyes - 102 times! (I tried it at the birthday lol)

I thought for sure someone would say that! I knew it.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

wah~ thank you very much!

I had a lot of fun with everyone's sense of humor.

I'm going to do it again.

........................................................................

Today, August 27th .

　

Happy birthday, Matsumura Sayuri-san!

　

She's the one who got me into Nogizaka for the first time.

She's very cute and has a gluttonous side, a high level of variety skills, and a witty comedy in Kansai dialect. There are so many contrasts between her and me, and I admire her so much.

When I was interviewed by a magazine, I started to talk about Matsumura-san.

[I met Matsumura-san the other day and when I asked her what she had for dinner last night, she said to me, 「Yesterday the salted salmon was cheap, so I cooked that plus 3 cups of rice and I ate all together with the salmon on the top of the bowl.」]

and then the interviewer asked me, 「How much rice does Hayashi-san eat?」. that talk still remains vividly in my memory.

Although I only had the chance to talk to her a little bit, I wish her all the best for a wonderful year!

　

August 23rd.

　

Happy Birthday, Mukai Hazuki-san!

　

Your positive attitude always inspires me.

I talked to a hair stylist before and it told me about Mukai-san.

And said to me, [She has a baby attached to her glasses.], what she gave me was like a power word information, but I was like, [I knew it too! It's the baby soldier--!].

I'm not sure if I'm right about the baby soldier, but from what I heard from the hair stylist, I'm sure she's a really interesting person and I hope to have the chance to talk to her someday.

I wish you a wonderful year, and I'm sending you a prayer with as much power as a hamster running in a wheel!

August 24th.

　

Happy Birthday, Seira-chan!

She's always with Mayu and keeps me company when I'm going through something I don't understand. But when she listens to my requests, I think she's a big sister.

From now on, I'm sure I'll make you feel annoyed by my lack of dancing skills, so I apologize in advance. I'm sorry.

I'll do my best to make your year as wonderful as possible.

........................................................................

Tomorrow is Miyu.

Are the assignments finished safely?

You worked really hard, so even if you didn't finish your assignment, Miyu's still great. I'm so proud of you!

I'm so~ sorry!

I failed to take a selfie at the right time and it ended up being a single photo.

Please forgive me but next time I'll take more selfies.

Adios！！！！！！！！

Blog Translation: Hayashi Runa (Aug. 23rd, 2020)

Otsukaresama desu! Hayashi Runa has the pleasure to present the Hayashi Runa from Nogizaka46.

Thanks for the hard work today as well.

 
It's Hayashi Runa, the (new) 4th generation member of Nogizaka46.
 
16 years old, 2nd-year HS student from Kanagawa Prefecture.

I'm the sixteenager Hayashi Runa that didn't bloom. 

(reference to marika-sensei's PV(hana-saku sixteen) but at the contrary)
  
Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! today is another day of hard work!!
(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna! )

(ping-pong)
 

This is the 24th round of the blog relay.

Yesterday, August 21st.

It was the day that Nogizaka46 was formed. Congratulations.

This was the first anniversary I had since I joined Nogizaka46.

Nine years.

Some people may say that 9 years is a long time, others may say that it's short, and there's also some people that would say "What did I do back then?" without even realizing that the time has passed.

That's why I strongly believe that time is not a matter of length.

At those moments, all that I feel on my body, the impact it has on my mind...

no, this is not something that can be expressed by common words, it's more complex than that.

9 years ago, the very rock-bottom first generation...

But, the reason why it has changed from that "very rock-bottom" state to what we're being part now,

the reason why I can think that every day its and was a good day, 

is because Nogizaka46 was there in my heart.

It's the weight of 9 years that our seniors have built up all this time.

I'll take that weight from Nogizaka46 with a great care, 

and even though there's not a definition to do the things "Properly",

I want to live my life like that.

.....................................................................

And then... the day before yesterday.

On Shiraishi Mai's live on YouTube, it was announced that her graduation concert will be held on October 28!

Even though it was just a live delivery, her positive attitude even till now has my heart overwhelmed.

The friendly atmosphere between Takayama-san and Matsumura-san was very nice.

I was also very happy to see Manatsu-san on the phone, and to be able to celebrate their birthdays at the same time.

.....................................................................

Sudden

In the last blog, I announced the opening of the "All Japan Amateur Hayashi Oogiri Comedy Contest", but my writing was bad.

(大喜利(oogiri) is a form of entertainment where witty or absurd answers are given to questions or viceversa, I'll just say Oogiri from now on)

However, I wrote it in such a way like I would do a great comedy competition by myself, and only the subjects were jammed into the comments.

So, I would like to introduce some subjects that I think will be interesting so that you will not waste your time.

[Think of a # that doesn't make sense]

[To the kanjis that are in「林瑠奈」give them a different pronunciation than (hayashi runa)]

[how do you ingest acrobatic pills, in a way like catching eye drops from the second floor?]

(the expression [eye drops from the second floor] is like something that cannot be done no matter how hard one tries, it's hard to understand, but it doesn't has to be specifically a mathematical answer)

[Hayashi Runa got a Guinness world record, what's the record?]

I have chosen these 4 for this time.

I would be glad if you could participate the Oogiri with the ↑ themes.

The next time I'll introduce the Oogiri that I found interesting and I will give my answer too.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

ah! I also want to keep contrasting the Hayashi's Oogiris in addition to the subjects above, so I'll keep asking for subjects other than these on the future.

"4 conjugations of the Hayashi smile"

.....................................................................

August 20th.

Happy Birthday, Akimoto Manatsu-san!

At the first meeting with the new 4th gen she was always nice to us. 

Even though she's a senior, she still has a charming side of her that makes you say [ cute~!!].

Not only as an idol, but also as a person, I really admire the way you think of your juniors and how you look after them.

I wish you have a wonderful year, I'll pray for you in square(^2)!

And at the same time, on August 20th.

Happy birthday, Shiraishi Mai!

Personally, I love the way you look when you and Manatsu are together. 

And your funny face on the YouTube live show the day before yesterday was also very nice.

I have not much time left to spend with you as a member of Nogizaka46, but I will cherish the limited time I have with you and learn a lot from your great figure.

I wish you a wonderful year!

.....................................................................

I will answer just a few questions.

Q If you could only take one thing to a deserted island, what would you choose?

A Kuromi Haruka. I'd choose one person instead of one thing.

Q If the handshake events could start again, do you have any favorite or liked outfit for a girl that you'd want her to wear?

A  I love to dress with the styles from THE ryousangata!! but I also like the cool pants/trousers styles. 

(量産型(ryousangata)is gothic styles in one pieces dresses, the basic semi-maid style)

I can't decide on a style, so I'd be happy if you could come dressed with a theme like "date with your boyfriend".

Q What song do you recommend me of Mioyamazaki-san, Runapi?

A There are a lot, but if I've to pick one.

[Link]

Q I'm planning to hold a birthday party for Runacchi without her, what type of cake would you like to eat??

I'm going to make it and then at the Handshake I'll show it to you!

A I like cheesecake, but I can't stop myself with strawberries in shortcake, so if you could put strawberries on cheesecake, it would be great.

"reverse kyun"

Q hayashi runa I've been reading your blog and I thought that with those writing skills you were a female scientist, they were very interesting! By the way, are you from science or humanities?

A I'm sport-minded from the bottom of my heart.

That's it for today.

　

Thanks again for your comments.

　

　

I'm going to be at [Nogizaka46's "no"] from the 18:00 p.m.

I hope you'll listen to it.

.....................................................................

Tomorrow is Myu-chan.

As expected, Miyu is very good at teaching dance.

I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life.

Adiós!!!!!

Blog Translation: Hayashi Runa (Aug. 17th, 2020)

Otsukaresama desu! it's someone who has a lot to write, Hayashi Runa.

 Thanks for the hard work today as well.

 

It's Hayashi Runa, the (new)4th generation member of Nogizaka46.

 

16 years old, 2nd-year HS student from Kanagawa Prefecture.

I'm the sixteenager Hayashi Runa that didn't bloom. 

(reference to marika-sensei's PV(hana-saku sixteen) but the contrary)

  

Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! today is another day of hard work!!

(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna! )

(ping-pong)

 

This is the 23rd round of the blog relay.

 this is me now.

Phrasing~

Q. I really want to see an episode or pics with you and Kira-chan!

A. The other day we had a video call, it was like 4 hours and so.

There is a picture of the two of them together at Masumoto-chan's blog.

.............................................................................................................

I'll be answering the questions from today.

Q. It's nice to answer questions honestly.

Runa has a rich vocabulary, so it goes straight to your heart.

That is why I hope you could keep answering them.

A. I'm a simple person so I'll keep doing it.

Q. I'm writing a novel about [Festival], so what are the things you would definitely eat at a festival, Runachosu?

A. Runachosu!? it's the first time someone's calling me like that. That "Chosu" from where it comes? Chosu...

Takoyaki, candied apple, Ikayaki, and that kind of crispy pasta that hurts if it touches your upper jaw......

I can eat almost anything.

Q. If you'd like to send a message to a radio, what pen name would you use?

A. A japanese living in Japan, ♡Runachosu♡

Q. I want to have the same hairstyle as Hayashi, but I shaved my head, so if I grow my hair long enough, it will take me years to grow like that. However, my desire to have the same hairstyle isn't over. 

A. Actually I also cut my hair recently.

Does that lower the bar a bit?

Q. question.

Runa-chan, you said you went to a comiket before, was it the comiket of the summer?

or was it on the winter comiket?

A. it was at the winter comiket.

It's a pic when I was at 1°grade of Junior HS.

Q. I'm sorry to bother you. It's my dream to be an idol. I haven't told anyone and this is the first time I'm going to talk to you. I also want to become an idol for someone, so I came to ask this question because I think I have the same reasons to be one as Runa-chan's.

I'm worried that my face is not suitable for an idol, and I'm not sure if it's ok to dream of being an idol instead of following the path my parents had in mind. However, I can't give up on my dream of being an idol, what should I do? I hope this question will reach you, Runa-chan. I'll be waiting for your answer!

A. well... first, even though it's the first time you're writing to me, is it ok to write it here where everyone can see it...? 

I think it should be okay so I'll write.

[Looking back] let's see, the first reason I auditioned back then was,[I want to meet cute girls, so it'd be my mission to make it happen]. But somehow in the middle my feelings started to change, and then my thoughts turned to an [ I want to look back].

What's an idol face? I'm sure there isn't one.

In fact, if we judge by our own standards, I don't have an idol face either.

What your parents thought of for you is of course important. The person who raised you and took care of you the most has been thinking the path that you should take. And probably a lot. 

But isn't the answer already decided when you say that "I can't give up"?

Your own path is a worthy one.

Let's walk on the sidetrack once in a while.

Q. I saw your self-introduction using integration before, so

I've come up with a new "formula" for the self-introduction

|30　4|

|4　30|

that's called like a matrix system so,

(Don't they do determinants in high school now?)

and with the procedure turns to: 

30^2-4^2=900-16=884 (ha-ya-shi)

and then

884=26*34=(30-4)*(30+4)=30^2-4^2,

in the past I was wondering if I could make something interesting while using a matrix, and then I came up with this, and for that I wanted to send it to you.

If you like please use it as you wish.

A. Yes, thank you for thinking about it first.

But I think you left out an important part. It is not enough for the answer to be 884, but the fact that it was an integral make it meaningful.

My nickname in the Showroom presentation days was [Moyashi-chan] (bean sprouts)

I took it as a self-introduction because the integral symbol is similar to a bean sprout.

I may say that the answer, 884, is an extension.

If you have some spare time, I would appreciate it if you could think about it by using integral symbols.

impromptu

Q.  I like the duo of Hayashi x Rika quite a bit you know...

Do you have a name for the duo?

A. Rika and I have talked about the name of the duo, but we haven't decided yet.

The most likely candidate at the moment is going to be Ruri and runarika.

Q.  I'd like to talk with Runapi, even if it's just once.

I'm sorry for this, but I hope we can be friends. It doesn't have to be in reality you know, it's fine if it's just a dream, I like you as a person.

A. Regarding the dream I had the other day....

In my dream, I met someone and that person helped me in some way or other.

But I know it was only a dream.

I said to someone, "I'm having a dream now".

And suddenly it became very cold to me, and then I woke up from my dream. (The dream is still in the dream at the end.)

Some time after that, I passed this person at a certain place.

I was like [Huh? that was...] and then he/she had the same reaction, we were sharing a dream.

I mean, it was a dream within a dream.

So why don't you share your dream with me. maybe we can do it. thought I don't know... No, it is possible.

Q. I like the way Hayashi laughs, so I think you should try a corner on your blog where you solicit for some kinds of skits, and only the good ones are introduced by Hayashi. Lol

A. Thank you!

Let's do that the next time.

I have a clear preference, so this may end up being a biased answer, but please, everyone, by all means, write it down for me.

　

Thank you for all your comments and questions.

Please be assured that I have read all the other ones, even if they're not on the ↑er side.

.............................................................................................................

August 14.

Happy Birthday, Mio Yakubo!

　

　

Yakubo-chan and I happened to meet the day before her birthday and she was excited to have an ice cream cake.

She and I really get along with each other.

We're a bit otakus, and we have the same taste in music, so we can talk even if we don't really like each other. We have a lot of things to talk about, even if it's not so much about our love for each other.

I'm wondering if I shall join the Kogi-myun group because of Yakubo-chan's influence.

You're a big sister who gives me good advices, so I'm looking forward to working with you!

Let's make this a great year together!

.............................................................................................................

Coming soon.

　

All Japan Amateur Hayashi Oogiri Comedy Championship.

　

Tomorrow is Myu.

Thank you very much for your cooperation to prevent Satorikasan from receiving a birthday present. (Wrote Rika's name all in katakana so...)

Once again I think Miyu-chan is good with maki rolls.

　

Adiós!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blog Translation: Hayashi Runa (Aug. 7th, 2020)

Otsukaresama desu! with the omen of the summer, Sato Rika, the lapis lazuli, Hayashi Runa 

(lapis lazuli(ruri, 瑠璃) has one kanji from Rika's first name(the ru, 瑠) and Runa's too(the ri, 璃), it's a wordplay connector.)

Thanks for the hard work today as well.

I'm Hayashi Runa, the (new)4th generation member of Nogizaka46.

I've 16 years old, second-year high school student from Kanagawa Prefecture.

I'm the Hayashi Runa from Hanasaku Sixteen.      (Marika’-sensei's PV)

Don't lose, don't be discouraged, Hayashi Runa! today is another day of hard work!

(makeruna, shogeruna, Hayashi Runa! kyõ mo ichinichi ganbaruna! )

(ping-pong)

 

This is the 15th blog relay.

 

.......................................................................................................................................................................

 

♡Sato Rika♡

Day of birth: August 9th, 2001

Birthplace: Iwate prefecture.

Blood Type: B

Sign: Leo. 

Height: 158cm

Charming point: small mouth. 

Favorite food: Indian curry, baked potatoes but sweet potatoes too, bread and convenience store products.

so, let's start "Rika's session" right away, but...

this is where my feelings start to get very personal.

Lately on these days, the both of us were in contact very often, but when I told about it to the staff the other day..

said, "eh, the most unexpected thing."

That may be true.

 

We weren't particularly close when I was a trainee, and that's why I'm so happy we're now(or that's what I think).

 

Probably Rika wrote in her very first blog that she and Runa often meet each other.

But I've been wanting to talk to Shiina-chan for a long time.

 

(Shiina-chan ~> Rika-chan ~> rika)

(しぃなちゃん→りかちゃん→りか)

Well, as you can know till now, neither Rika nor I are the type of people who'd like to push! and push!!... forwards.　

And then the more I think about staring at Rika with a serious face, the more that I found it disgusting. The fear I've from my serious face is crazy, you know~

 

　

 

But it wasn't because I was angry or anything.

 

"Keep making eye contact and you'll be able to talk with that person someday."...

...actually I was thinking about that.

 

Months went by, and then I was like... "okay~ the moment is now!" but I wasn't sure what was the me I wanted to show.

However, since that unknown day, Rika and I have been together.

 

I'm sure some of you know that lately we've been sending voice messages each other and, well, rika is an idiot!!! ←important

 

Calling her stupid doesn't mean to raise the bar for Rika, but I guess it does mean that the distance between us has decreased.

 

Surprisingly, Rika is a bit stupid.

　

 

When Rika told me that people think she is serious and smart, I realized that she is not a stubborn person at all.　

Even with that, from my point of view, her seriousness and her ability to think and act in advance are great advantages.

 

Rika is a girl who, also said herself, tries not to show her carelessness (What can I do~, it can rhyme here). 

(Runa it's trying to make rhymes between the connectors and nouns, sorry for not being able to show it.)

 

I'm sure it's partly due to the distance between us, but she always tries to resolve things on her own, because of that I wanted her to rely on me a little bit. and then just a while ago we started to talk to each other.　

She told me, [People who are able to worry about others are the ones who can take those matters into their own hands, so talk to me anytime.].

 

When we talked to each other, we surprisingly had a lot in common, and our personalities were also similar.

I knew that I couldn't put the words together well.

  

Anyway, I really like Rika like how she's.

..............................................................................................................................................　

 

Did you see the first appearance of the new 4th gen at Nogizaka skits yesterday?

 

Even when I haven't been able to watch it yet.

I had a test. I haven't studied until morning for the first time in a long time, and I'm not sleepy even now, probably because my eyes are sharp.　

 

During the recording, all the members of the 4th gen including the staff supported me, so I was nervous but I enjoyed it very much.　

 

I'm grateful to all of you for your support and I'll try my best to make you laugh as well as enjoy the show.

We will see then what happens. doki-doki.                                             (doki-doki = heartbeat, excited)

 

By the way, rika and me also send each other doki-doki's songs.

By the way, the glitters on my face are traffic lights.

 

I tried to convince them to join me, but they immediately rejected it.　

is it lame...?

 

　

 

Tomorrow's turn is going to be Myu-chan.

 

Also, I've got a friend who's a fan of Miyu! (*≧∀≦*)

I also took some pictures with Shibaーta.                                       

  (the name it's wrote without kanji and in katakana)

 

She played with the boss role and gave off a scary vibe, but she did her best to memorize her lines in the waiting room, which was so cute (°°).　

 

On July 5th, I couldn't see the kid who threw his school bag away and was squatting.　

 

 

 

 

Adios!!!!!
