\(^o^)/ A post dedicated to the Amazing... \(^o^)/
高山一実
Takayama Kazumi
also known as Kazumin.
Many people have commented on how they liked Kazumin on first sight, but was surprised as how she turned out to be... different. :lol:
Well, at no fear! Even if Kazumin turn out to be different from one's expectation, she is still one to be taken interested in, to be followed, to be looked up to.
& to start off with why Kazumin is Amazing...
1. Naturally funny!!
(http://s6.postimage.org/9kr9i54n5/4de67e43fbf2b211855f75e0ca8065380dd78e0d.gif)(http://s6.postimage.org/qp3z72n5t/f50dd01f4134970a5608e38195cad1c8a6865d07.gif)
Many people strive to be funny. They do so through gags, they do so through words.
But none can be as spontaneously funny as Kazumin! Kazumin is naturally funny.
She's funny when she speaks, she's funny when she walks. She's funny when she tries to be serious.
(http://s6.postimage.org/625maw81t/20c0ff1b0ef41bd5c7813f1451da81cb3bdb3d5a.jpg)
Heck, she even managed to make her dog funny! XD
I guess one can classify her as a dork. :lol:
2. Singing Prowess!

Despite the interesting tone Kazumin has when she speaks, when Kazumin sings its a completely different story. While singing, Kazumin's voice is crisp & versatile.
Considered one of the best vocalist in Nogizaka, Kazumin have landed herself multiple unit songs even when she was dropped out of hachifukujin.
These songs include Guuzen wo iiwake ni Shite (Oide shampoo), Sekkachi na Katatsumuri (Hashire bicycle), Shibuya Blues & Yasashisa nara ma ni Atteru (Seifuku no Mannequin).

Kazumin's strong performance in the Parco Stage, taking the lead role of Alice (top voted) twice out of nine times (Ikuchan six times, Maiyan once) is likely another testament to Kazumin's strong performance presence, which includes singing!
3. Classical!

For me, Kazumin can also be described as Showa. Kazumin looks up to Yamaguchi Momoe, & able to perform all of her songs.
Additionally, Kazumin is learned in kendo. This combination of classical traits is not a common sight, & can be something one can look fondly upon.
4. Fashion Sense!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xth0m2_takayama-kazumi-yyyy-tv-2012-06-03-casual-fashion-check-nogizakatte-doko-ep35_people#.URhZU6VEGSo (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xth0m2_takayama-kazumi-yyyy-tv-2012-06-03-casual-fashion-check-nogizakatte-doko-ep35_people#.URhZU6VEGSo)
While Showa is a designation to avoid in AKBingo's fashion segment, Kazumin is somehow able to dress fashionably (cheaply too) while retaining her classical beauty.
Here, Kazumin displays her great fashion sense & manage to still be funny by getting down voted for her Achilles' heel, the bag! :P
5. Superior Reflex!

Kazumin might be funny, but she is not natural (天然, a.k.a. naturally silly.)! Probably as a result of her kendo training, Kazumin is capable of hyper-quick reflex!
This is especially handy in beating the head out of your opponents in rock-paper-scissor-hammering contest!
6. Amazingu!!!.

The "Amazingu" gag is so awesome it deserves its own point! \(^o^)/
Invented during the premiere of the Amazing Spiderman, "amazingu" have since become renowned gag practiced even by the most unexpected!
With practitioners so numerous & widespread, this is yet another sign of Kazumin's amazing-ness!
7. Steel determination.

Kazumin is certainly talented, but more importantly Kazumin is also a hard worker.
Not a native of Tokyo, Kazumin had to endure daily commute of some 6~7 hours during the audition phase of Nogizaka.
Determined to make the audition & complete schooling (she was half a year away from graduation), Kazumin was said to only be able to sleep during her bus commute.
Making it through till this day, Kazumin have definitely shown strong determination!
8. She is genuinely herself
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuzbw8_kazumin-truely-amazing_shortfilms?search_algo=2#.URhW4aVEGSo (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuzbw8_kazumin-truely-amazing_shortfilms?search_algo=2#.URhW4aVEGSo)
Sometimes there are people whom try to pursue an image or chara that is not of their natural self, which can be tough & might not end up rewarding.
Looking up upon Yamaguchi Momoe, Kazumin too once striven to be of a particular image, one that is not really herself.
Fortunately, Kazumin decided to relinquish such attempts, & instead be her true self.
I am personally happy that she had decided to be her natural self instead of being a constrained image, & this I cherish dearly.
Lastly, a very belated Happy Birthday Kazumin! \(^o^)/ May this new year bring you even more oppurtunities & success, & that it be even more amazing than the last!
