07-29-2025 Ioki Mao's blog: Thank you my teens (English Translation)

I'm already 20 years old

20 years old, huh

When I was little, the word "20 years old" always sounded like someone who is matured, 

but have I become that kind of adult today?


Still, I'm kind of happy

Like I'm an adult egg

My recent favorite photos

During the Calpis photo shoot, A-tan surpassed me in height.

Tomorrow is the CD release date, a sneak peek at Haruka-san 

I think this was during the MV shoot, 

When I walked by her during the free time, 

I was invited to go see the ocean, and I got so excited lol

I also met a famous actress!


On my last day as a 19-year-old, 

I had a grown-up lunch at Nogizaka Cafe with the manager and the other members. 

Then, afterward, I went to karaoke with the other members and sang a lot of 19-year-old songs.

I really enjoyed being a teenager. 

And today happened to be a day when I was with a lot of the other members, 

so they all celebrated with me. I was a little embarrassed, but also really happy.


From when I joined Nogizaka at age 16 until I turned 20, it felt like a long time,

but maybe more often it felt like it went by so fast. 

Everyday was so intense that it felt like it went by in the blink of an eye, 

but I was able to have so many experiences that I wouldn't have had if I hadn't been in this place.


I want to open up more at 20. I wonder what awaits me. I'm so excited. 

Thank you so much to everyone who always supports me! 

I was so happy to receive your greetings. I'll make this a year that everyone can enjoy. 

Please look forward to 20-year-old Ioki Mao.


I've also opened an Instagram account.


Please take a look if you'd like 😊


The tour is already halfway through!

Ever since seeing Sakurazaka-san's concert, I've been feeling the urge to perform live again.

I'm looking forward to it!

It's been so hot lately.

I'm making sure to carry an umbrella with me.

Everyone, be careful and enjoy the summer.


My small goal for turning 20 is to not leave anything behind on set, as I promised my manager...

I'll do my best...!

I'll write again!

Thank you for reading until the end 😊
