Signature

The idol-loving older brother who makes flowers bloom throughout the stage!

Minori Watanabe is one of the Idols available to produce at 315 Productions. He is a member of the Idol Unit, Beit with Pierre and Kyoji Takajo. He was a florist before being scouted by the Producer.

Profile

Minori is a former florist. Due to his uncle's influence, he became entranced by idols, and became one himself in order to fully understand their charms. His fan-knowledge is deep and intricate, and he often teaches Kyoji and Pierre what to do to please the fans. Minori has a gentle, tolerant personality and is like an older brother to Kyoji and Pierre¹.

Resume

Reasons for Becoming an Idol

In order to understand the true appeal of idols, I thought it’d be best to become one myself.

Personal Motto

Persevere. Simple, but important nonetheless.

Comments for the Future

Saying that I want to become an idol only to figure just what it is they have that entrances people... doesn’t sound very becoming, does it? I became an idol... because I love idols. How’s that? Does that sound acceptable?

Comments about Unit Members

Kyoji is quite interesting. He’s rather serious underneath it all, so he takes jokes very seriously. Pierre is an honest and good kid. I make flower crowns for him sometimes, and he gets so happy about it.

2016
Character Commu I'm so happy that you and everyone else is celebrating my birthday, Producer! Just like the meaning of my name, I will continue to do my best from today forth so I may have a fruitful year! Character Commu I always had a lot of rallies on my birthday when I was younger, so it's been a while since I had a birthday celebration at home. Thank you! Yahoo! Minori, happy birthday! Minori, you had a lot of rallies on your birthday? You've been popular for a long time, Minori! Amazing! Happy birthday, Minori-san. ...Those rallies that Minori-san mentioned, could it be...? I'd better not touch on that subject... It's probably something terrifying...

2017
Character Commu Thank you for celebrating my birthday. Your consideration makes me very happy... I need to learn that from you. I hope you'll look after me in the next year too... okay, Producer? Character Commu Hehe. Getting to celebrate with everyone again this year makes me very happy. Thank you, Pierre, Kyoji... Oh, let's take a picture together. Yahoo! Are you going to put it on your blog? That's great! Your fans will be happy! Put this shiny birthday thing on! You too, Kyoji! Here! You're telling me to put this chenille on me? ...I guess I can do it. It's a special day after all. Okay, I'm all for it! Minori-san, get in the center... say cheese.

2018
Character Commu As I grow older, more things become precious to me, and those that were already precious to me become even more precious... I am glad that I can be with you and everyone, Producer. I hope you'll continue to look after me. Character Commu You two made curry for me? Hehe, I'm so happy... Oh my, the rice is shaped like a flower! Did you plate this, Pierre? Yup, correct! Minori, amazing! Kyoji made rice and cut the meat and vegetables. I mixy mixed the curry and plate plated the dish! We did our best! We really wanted to bake a flower-shaped cake for you, but things weren't going too well on that. We got Producer to taste the curry and it has their seal of approval.

2019
Character Commu Thank you for the birthday wishes! And the flowers too! I like buying flowers for myself, but receiving them from others feels extra special! Where should I put them? Character Commu Chris said a lot of good things about this aquarium! I heard that there's a star shaped ornament hiding in the sand inside one of the tanks, if you find it, your wish will come true! Ohh...! A wish come true? Really?! That's super amazing! I will look! And wish for Minori's birthday to be full of happy!! I suppose I should look too... Hm? Ah, there's a tree growing in that tank. Say, Minori-san, I didn't know you were interested in aquariums at all.

2020
Character Commu I appreciate you making time for me no matter how busy you are. I don't think any present could make me happier than such consideration. Character Commu You know, since I've been busy, I haven't been able to appreciate my idol DVDs at a fancy karaoke place in a while. Kyoji, Pierre! Are you ready? Yahoo! Wearing happi, holding penlight! I, ready! I will cheer lots! Hyped up! Hip hip hooray! That screen sure is big, and that sound equipment... it's like we're at the real thing. Well, I'm ready when you are. This type of celebration is so you...

2021
Character Commu Since I'm the star of the the show today, why don't you join me for a little bike ride? Let's take a break from our daily lives and talk about the things we like~ Character Commu Did you two make a bouquet of tulips for me? Fufu, they're very lovely, and perfect for spring. Thank you! Me and Kyoji picked them out together! Kyoji taught me meaning of tulip is compassion! Tulip very fitting for Minori! I was anxious about giving flowers to someone who used to be a florist, so I'm relieved you like them. Happy birthday, Minori-san.
