Takahashi Mikuni, the second captain of the idol group Hinatazaka46, attended NTT Docomo's "Lemino Content Presentation 2026" held in Tokyo on February 19th, along with fellow members Masamoto Tsukasa Yoko and Ohno Manami.
When the host, announcer Ueju Satoshi, said, "There is an image that Hinatazaka46 is strong in variety shows," Takahashi replied, "Thank you very much," and continued, "Our signature show is hosted by the two members of (comedy duo) Audrey, and it is because they are there that we feel a sense of security. Also, I have been very inspired by seeing up close the bold challenges our seniors who have graduated take on."
She continued, "Whenever a member takes on a new challenge, the other members also support them. They laugh louder than usual, they make noise... Even when it's not my turn to take the lead, I feel like we're all making the show together," explaining the group's attitude. "I think that's why we're grateful to say that 'Hinatazaka46 is good at variety shows.'"
When announcer Ueju commented, "You're so greedy!", he replied with a smile, "That's true! I think there are quite a few members who have a lot of guts." When he was praised for "great guts," he replied with a delighted "Thank you!"
Actors Takayuki Yamada, Dean Fujioka, and Mizuki Yamamoto also attended the content announcement event.
