Koike Minami or “Miichan” is the only 1st Generation member from Kansai. Despite her quiet and shy demeanor, she would not hold back if you make fun of her Kansai-ben (Kansai dialect). From an unconfident girl from Hyogo Prefecture, Koike steadily grew to a confident person and became one of the core members of the group. One of the breakthroughs she had was when she stepped forward for “Futari Saison” dance solo on the last day of their “Keyakizaka46 Summer Zenkoku Arena Tour 2018" when the song's original center, Hirate Yurina, was injured. She has also covered 6 different positions in “Ambivalent” including the center position. Her first center performance for the song was during the “KEYAKIZAKA46 Live Online, but with YOU!” live performance which was widely acclaimed by fans.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
