Saitama Trio
Hinatazaka46's 2nd generation had three members from #Saitama Prefecture: Kanemura Miku, Nibu Akari, and ex-member Watanabe Miho. All three are also members of the prefecture's public relations group, the Kobaton Club! #hinatrivia #金村美玖 #丹生明里 #渡邉美穂
In 2020, they became announcers for a Tokyo FM radio program (#余計な事までやりましょう) sponsored by Saitama supermarket chain Belc. Belc has released several limited-edition products in their honor! 🍣🍮🍗 #ベルク
More recently, Belc's tartar sauce features a very familiar silhouette on the package! (Hint: check the previous tweet)
The trio also lent their voices to the 2020 anime series of Pickles the Frog. Pickles has become the 2nd gen members' mascot character, ever since Miku gave them Pickles dolls in various colors for Christmas in 2017! #かえるのピクルス buff.ly/3PzSsCZ
When Kanemura Miku became center for "Tteka", the trio got to perform their own coupling song on the single, "Akubi Letter", under the unit name Color Chart, inspired by Saitama's nickname, Land of Colors (彩の国)! #ってか buff.ly/468hyzL
After Miho graduated, the remaining two became known as the YubaReta ("tofu skin and lettuce", their favorite hot pot ingredients) duo, or simply NibuMiku! 🍲 #ゆばレタ

For the 2024 Hinata Fes, Miku came up with a TV commercial featuring the YubaReta duo! They portrayed a couple visiting the event, with Nibu reprising her male character from the HinaAi variety show, Suzuki Kichi!👩🏻❤️👨🏻
