Miyabi, the elegant idol from Kyoto, the old capital
You should already know that the naginata is a traditional weapon for the wives of samurai. Men traditionally didn’t use it, even if it is awesome. Also, nadeshiko is a type of flower. Enjoy our one month guest.

Thanks!
Thanks, Akatsukin!
Thanks, good job as usual!
I thought I had heard “nadeshiko” somewhere before… Sakura Kinomoto’s mother was named Nadeshiko (from Cardcaptor Sakura).
There is also “Yamato Nadeshiko”, according to Wikipedia it means “personification of an idealized Japanese woman”, basically, the standard of what someone would define as “pretty”.
Thanks!
Miyabi-chan is cute~
I was waiting that whole episode for her to meet Sakura-chan, so I am really looking forward to next ep 😀
thanks you
Thanks for the great work, as always. I’m really liking our one month guest idol.
I’m a little surprised that you would mention that ‘nadeshiko’ is a type of flower without expanding specifically on ‘Yamato nadeshiko’ being a term used to describe one who embodies many of the traits of the feminine ideal in traditional culture.
I also wonder if the mai in the next episode will be a kyomai given Miyabi’s origin – whatever, I’m just looking forward to seeing Sakura get some screentime. 🙂
I took “Yamato nadeshiko” to be common knowledge, but there are references to flowers in the song that might not make sense without that extra bit of into.
next episode – the 2 traditional Japanese idols!
You spelled Aikatsu as “Aikatu” in the intro.
