       As revealed to her in AKBINGO! (July 7, 2010), the only reason
       Takamina passed the initial written auditions was because of her
       height (148.5cm) and her birthdate (4/8/1991) both having the
       numbers 4 and 8.
       During a segment in AKBINGO!, it was revealed that since their

       disappointment as a female

       members and graduates such as Takahashi Minami, Mukaichi Mion,
       etc.
       Wants to get married at around age 30. She would like her future
       husband to call her 'Minami' rather than 'Miichan.' She has
       shared she used to feel jealous of Takahashi Minami because
       everyone called her Minami in the beginning, while she was
       referred to as Miichan.
       She used to want to be the perfect idol type, but she was often
       told she would fit better as a variety idol due to her
       rebellious persona. She was unhappy with this for a while, but
       eventually embraced being a Variety Idol and these days, she is
       frequently a guest on different types of variety shows.
       Collects hats.
       Keeps warm in winter by pretending it's summer and feeling
       thankful that it's so breezy. She learned this from a manga
       Is often jealous of Kojima Haruna for being able to write kanji
       that she can't write herself
       Her father was a big fan of Asaka Yui and Minamino Yoko, and
       frequently asked Minami to take photos of the other AKB48
       members
       Her parents used to run a restaurant named "Tea Room Tane"
       located in Takashimadaira, Tokyo. On February 26, 2016 it was
       remodelled to a beer speciality pub named "Kirigirisu"
       (Cricket). It could be possible that the name is derived from
       the No Sleeves song Kirigirisu Jin.
       Is allergic to cats
       Recommended AKB48 song is Skirt, Hirari because the costumes are
       cute.
       During the 1st Generation's debut, they were told by their
       agency to think of stage names for themselves. Because she had
       the same name as Takahashi Minami, Minegishi thought of using
       Mimi-chan as her stage name.
       She is the only AKB48 member to have been on all four teams and
       a Kenkyuusei.
       Her screen name in Majisuka Gakuen 2 was "Shaku" (screentime) as
       that was always what she was striving for.
       Former member of the fake group "SONE" with Kitahara Rie,
       Sashihara Rino and Miyazaki Miho, that regularly participated on
       Request Hour MCs. They disbanded in 2014. They briefly reunited
       in her graduation concert.
       When Miichan was one year old, she received a cuddly toy named
       "Beaver-chan." She introduced the toy to her fans in the
       introduction profile video for AKB48's first single Aitakatta.
       After this, it also appeared in her first photobook and her
       parents took it with them to see Miichan backstage after the
       General Election 2013.
       Her poster for the 2017 General Election was designed by Lily
       Franky, a Japanese award winning illustrator, writer and actor.
       Jabaja is the first single since the group's debut to not
       include Minegishi on any song.
       A big fan of the Sashihara Rino produced idol group =LOVE, and
       has directed music videos for them.
       The last member of AKB48's 1st Generation. Despite this, she was
       not the oldest member of the 1st Generation.

       concert was supposed to be held on April 2, 2020 in Yokohama
