Mizuki Yamamoto graduates from Meiji University

Model Mizuki Yamamoto (22) graduated from Meiji University School of Agriculture's life science department on the 26th. Yamamoto was at the Nihon Budokan in Tokyo for the graduation rites and commented: "I was able to graduate in 4 years without any hitches. Thank you for all your support. I want to pursue modeling and acting seriously from now on.".

Yamamoto wore a hakama which she personally designed and said, "I was extra cautious with the coloring. The theme of this is a 'retro-literary girl'.". Looking back at her campus life, she said that she enjoyed "studying for exams until late at night with my friends, eating lunch on the grass with them and playing cards at the cafeteria". She also said, "I struggled with the subjects that put emphasis on attendance. I had trouble trying to stay awake, especially when I had to film until early in the morning". She continues: "I enjoyed studying subjects which involved solving problems using the scientific method. I would have wanted to join more lab experiments, though. I hope I can put these things that I have learned to good use at work.".

Yamamoto said that people have expressed their support for her, but she insisted that she did not meet a special someone. Some people did confess their feelings to her, but she said that "Unfortunately, there haven't been any drama-like situations for me". She also said, "I also wanted to take part in joint parties, but I couldn't. I would have liked to have more fun with everyone else.".

V6's Ken Miyake learning sign language for a deaf girl who came to the handshake event

V6's Ken Miyake expressed his regrets in dealing with a fan. Miyake, who has been appointed as the "navigator" in NHK's new program Minna no Shuwa (beginning on April 6), was in Shibuya's NHK for the presscon of the program.

Miyake revealed that he has studied how to do sign language because: "A deaf girl came to our handshake event, and she tried to converse with me through sign language. I couldn't understand it all, and I didn't know how to respond. That, for me, was a regret.". After that, he attended a once-a-week, 2 hours per session course to specifically learn sign language.

When Miyake was asked what the other members thought about this, he commented: "The other members knew that I was learning sign language, and they congratulated me on getting this project". He also received heartwarming comments from fans such as, "I'll also study sign language thanks to this".

He also voiced out the trouble that he's been experiencing with the filming and says: "Sign language is very limited, and I'm always having difficulty in choosing the appropriate Japanese words for the signs." Finally, his message to the viewers: "It'll be difficult for the viewers if they start thinking, 'I have to study! I have to study!', so I think that it's important to enjoy yourself while learning".
