No No Girls

The tweet translates to: "HANA really can't exist without any one of the seven members; each of their existences is truly precious and important, and I'm really grateful. Especially, I'm so thankful for Mahina being here... Thank you for climbing up from the 3.5th round of auditions to become HANA, and thank you to Chanmina Mama as well. I'm really grateful... I'm thankful for everything."

"Congratulations to everyone in HANA for winning the Best New Artist Award! 🎉😭 I happened to see the award stage video while on the train and ended up crying my eyes out. I was a mess with tears and snot, thank goodness for tissues. As someone who has been supporting you since the Nonoga era, the lyrics really hit me hard... I could really feel everyone's bond... especially the part where Mahina hugs Chika, I was in tears. 😭"

The way MAHINA-chan was featured in the NonoGa program wasn't personally to my liking, and I had been carrying a slight feeling of discomfort about it, but I finally feel like that feeling has cleared up.

I've been watching HANA-chan since the very first episode of "Nono," but I can't help but admire Chanmina's keen insight in suggesting to Mahina that she should take the 3.5th round of auditions again...!!

The tweet translates to: "I don't have a long history of being deeply involved, but... From being a Hello! Project fan ⇒ to Produce 101 Japan ⇒ crying over Momochama's absence ⇒ to getting into Nonoga ⇒ BMSG-related posts starting to appear ⇒ more posts about Naoya ⇒ becoming interested because they say he resembles MOMOKA ⇒ getting curious about tome and Seaside Story ⇒ being captivated by the gap in K&K, and then falling for Only You."

The tweet translates to: "[Documentary] Who is HANA - The story of the girls from 'NoNoGirls' who were told 'No' until their debut. youtu.be/1UwAvqTpjgI?si…"

"Ahh. Everyone, if you have free time during the New Year holidays, please watch No No Girls!!!!!!!"

HANA was really great...! The kids who were told "No" for reasons other than their talent, like their body type and looks, and were eliminated from other auditions. (This is the participation concept of the audition show NoNoGirls.) Finally, their "talent" is being recognized, and they debuted, even winning the Best New Artist Award at the Record Awards. I usually don't cry over things like this, but I lost it when Mahina hugged Chika.

HANA🌹 Congratulations! I watched the NoNoGirls audition and got hooked; I've listened to it as much as TM♡ I cried with a motherly feeling. Chika-chan's tears made me break down... #HANA #Honeys #JapanRecordAwardsBestNewArtist x.com/tbs_awards/sta…

I haven't been able to watch TV, but I found out through posts that HANA won the Best New Artist Award at the music awards. The journey from NoNoGirls has been so dramatic that I couldn't hold back my tears for CHIKA-chan. This past year has been filled with courage from NoNoGirls and HANA since the beginning of the year. I'm also grateful to the fans who made HANA shine. 😭 #HANA
