Inori has practiced ice skating from a young age. Known as a child prodigy, she has won multiple competitions and was considered to be one of the best ice skaters in Japan.
Due to her rigorous training, she rarely had time to hang out with her classmates. Since Inori prioritized training over socialising, they considered her to be cold, and gave her title, "Queen of the Rink" a new meaning; that she's vein and cold. Inori ignored these remarks, but as a consequence, she has difficulties socialising & trusting people.
Before starting high school, Inori wanted to quit to pursue her goal of reaching the Olympics. However, her coach persuaded her to finish high school first. Her coach (triple-gold Olympic medalist Veronique Lyon) has forbidden her from entering skating competitions, as it might reignite her idea of quitting school again.
Inori has a mother, father and older sister, Itsuki, whom she is the closest to. Though not related by blood, Inori considers her coach an important person in her life. One night when Inori lost a skating competition for the first time in her life, Itsuki comforted her by holding a sleepover and watching idol DVDs. This is how Inori was introduced to idols.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
At first glance, Inori is reserved and mature. She highly values morals & conduct, a trait which befits her as the vice president. She takes on a caring role, though it doesn’t always come across as such. She has the best interests in mind for her friends, sometimes even putting their needs before her own.
Those who are close to her know that she is more on the impulsive side, and easily agitated at times, though she knows that she has to work on herself to improve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
☆ Inori’s charm point is her slender fingers.
⋆ Inori is allergic to animals, so she never had any pets growing up.
☆ Despite her allergies, animals always seem to be attracted to her. She’s often followed by big dogs.
⋆ Inori speaks Japanese, English and French (which she mainly learned from her coach).
☆ Inori can peel an orange without breaking the peel.
Reina comes from a fairly wealthy family; due to her father running a company and her mother being a doctor. Reina’s parents would often transfer her to different schools so she doesn’t exactly have any close friends but she doesn’t mind it she likes meeting new people and hanging out with others.
She is an only child and because of her parents’ work she is alone most of the time. While it makes her feel sad, it doesn’t make her love her parents any less.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
A sweet and social first year! Reina likes to make friends and engage in activities with people but despite that she doesn’t have something such as a ' close friend’. While she generally tends to be calm and collected, she’ll get excited when something she has an interest in is being brought up.
She joined the idol club because her dream is to be a part of the entertainment industry which she thought being a school idol might be a good start.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
☆ Reina’s charm point is her soft eyes.
⋆ Reina took self defense lessons because of her father scaring her so she could be more cautious when she’s outside.
☆ While Reina is a cute-type gyaru, she prefers cool styles over cute ones but she feels the cool style doesn’t fit her at all no matter how much she tries.
⋆ Her love for stargazing became a thing when her mother gifted her a telescope for her 13th birthday.
☆ Her goal at the moment is to grow her hair long .
⋆ She has a pen she always brings with her because she believes it brings her luck.
Mami comes from a middle school where she was constantly bullied for her smarts, and was looking for a change at high school. She tried making friends with her whole grade, but a certain someone had changed her aspect of things for 2 years. She comes from a family with only a mother (dad died) and is the only child besides living with one of her cousins. Mami also owns a Gecko.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
On the outside, she’s quiet and not too outgoing, but Mami is fun and quirky with her friends, rarely ever angry or upset, but easily ‘damaged’. She never lets it show, but some of the small things can really bother her. Other than that, she generally tries being friendly with everyone she meets, and usually gets along with them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
☆ Mami’s charm point is her bright and bubbly personality.
She has a brother who is four years younger than her, and her parents work in show business - her father a theatre actor, her mother a model. Despite her family situation, Mori doesn’t see herself as interesting or unique, often calling herself “your basic, traditional Japanese girl.”
As a kid, Mori had a diary that she brought everywhere with her, writing down her “adventures” every day as she had no friends to spend time with - she made her own games and ways to have fun alone. Due to her brother being very young at the time, she couldn’t really play with him, which made her loneliness worse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
Despite her childhood, Mori is actually a laid-back person, having an aura of relaxed yet mature about her; this is easily viewed by how casually she talks with anyone, regardless of age or status. She dislikes formalities and asks students in the years below her to simply refer to her as “Mori”. She’s seen as responsible and reliable to others, but she doesn’t feel as though she suits those labels; she simply does what she feels needs to be done.
Mori doesn’t like to be alone, despite her often being seen by herself - she simply has gotten used to it. However, she makes herself approachable and is known to be easy to talk to by most people; her height is intimidating at first, but Mori does her best to distract others from it with her personality.
While Mori is laid-back, she can actually be very serious and forward when need be; she dislikes those who aren’t serious about things they like. As well as her serious side, Mori is easily threatened and gets scared frequently, mainly when Nadeshiko is involved; during these times, she can’t speak properly and gets very nervous...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
☆ Mori’s charm point is her legs.
⋆ Mori doesn’t feel as though she’s fit to lead the group.
☆ Mori is skilled at the guitar.
⋆ In school, she has average grades, yet excels in sports classes.
☆ She’s stated that she’s not good at designing.
⋆ Mori has broken multiple doors in Teien Academy.

Sora: I don't know why I started crying, but this photo shoot with Inorin makes me so....happy. I wonder how my parents will react if they'll find out I married an earthling...Ah! Nothing to worry about, I'm sure they will be happy for us!
...Hold up, Sora! Remember this is just a photo shoot!
....Eeeeh, now I'm crying again?!?!
Inori: Good to see you! Did you bring me a gift? No? What kind of guest wouldn't bring a present to a wedding ... I kid, of course. I can't really imagine what marriage would be like, comitting yourself to one person for the rest of your life. It's quite romantic, isn't it? What, Sora is crying...!? Excuse me for a moment, I have to go console her. Even though a wedding brings out a myriad of emotions, I can't have my bride sniffling on our wedding photo!
Shion: Marriage is such a beautiful phenomenon, isn't it? Usually, it's so extravagant and beautiful, today is no different of course~ Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to find love and even more get married, aha. As embarrassing as it is, even being a third year and in high school, getting swept off of my feet by the one sounds too good to be true! Or maybe I'll be doing the sweeping... Whatever it is, I can't wait to walk down the aisle one day too~
Kiki: Ehe~ To be honest, at first I was a little scared when I heard we were doing this shoot. I was like, "Whaaaat? But we're too young for that!", however I'm glad we ended up doing this! I felt a little scared though... not only for myself, but perhaps a little for Yako-chan?! She looked really amazing... and I kept thinking about how it'd be like if she got married like that, eheh~♡ Eh? I wouldn't marry Yako-chan, o-ofcourse not!
Mori: Aah... Inorin and Sora totally blew this photoshoot out of the park, and everyone else looks beautiful... Though, what really pulled it all together was the location. The outdoors makes everything seem more mesmerizing, doesn't it? Hehe, I feel like a mom watching her kids getting married and running off to live a better life. Does that seem odd of me? This is kind of embarrassing. It doesn't really suit me, does it? I wonder what it'd feel like to wear this for real one day...
Reina: Ah! I’m glad you were able to make it to Horizons’ wedding hehe ♪ eh? Of course we’re all getting married you silly! It’s Horizons’ wedding for a reason!!
....Ahaha...i’m just kidding ♪ I know it’s unfortunately impossible ahaha~ everyone looks wonderful don’t you think? Wearing a wedding dress at such a young age is kinda embarrassing if i had to admit...but it makes me happy to see everyone so happy wearing them ♡ I-I’m personally looking forward to the day I get to spend my life with my significant other if I had to be honest ehe...I wonder if it’d be one of Horizons~ *chuckles*
Miyako: Aaa... haha, wedding dresses, huh? I can't believe we get to model these..... They say having a beautiful wedding is every girl's dream. ..N-not that it's true for every girl!! Maybe not even for me..... I'm not sure if I'll ever experience such a thing for real being the way I am... But I think it would be kind of nice, standing at the alter, lovingly looking into the eyes of the man or woman I'll spend the rest of my life with..... G-ghh..! Forget I said anything!
Kaya: I never thought i would wear anything like this in my whole life. I'm sure a marriage is something beautiful but i can show the person i love the most that i care for them without paying so much money for it... ahh maybe you think i'm not a romantic when i say stuff like that but it's quite the opposite. I think with the little money my father and I have i try to be as thrifty as possible. If i do marry someday it should be something small though. I'm just happy when all my favorite people in the world are there as well thihi ~ I do think a wedding dress is pretty though. Have you seen my friends? They look gorgeous <3
Mami: A wedding? For Inorin and Sora?! Don’t you two think you’re a little young, haha? These dresses are so pretty, don’t you think? I hope when I marry the person I love, I get to wear a dress as beautiful as this. I’ll make sure to invite all of Horizons as my bridesmaids!

Reina: The theme for our shooting today was medieval Europe styled tea party! Everyone looked so pretty in their dress it made me very glad ♪ We had to pose in pairs at some shoots and...it made me very happy to be paired with Kayacchi ♡ It’s not like I wouldn’t be happy to be paired with the others o-of course... she’s the person I’m most comfortable with and that’s normal- right? She looked very elegant in the dress I made for her...Don’t you think so? We’re gonna have an actual tea party after this hehe ♪ you should join us as well!!
Kaya: The dresses that Reina-chan made are just too pretty to be true! It's really amazing how talented she is and i'm so happy to be able to wear her designs! I wish i could wear clothes made by Reina-chan for my whole life... maybe i can ? Haha if she is fine with that of course! I hope it was alright that we got paired up together for this shoot but her warm smile made me think that she was as happy as i was.
Miyako: Aaaa..... these ball dresses are so wonderful...... but hard to walk in. I tripped over myself so often when I was just trying it on..... I hope I don't make a fool of myself at such a fancy event. Oh gosh, now I don't wanna think about that..... At least on the bright side, this dress is very pretty when I'm not in motion. D-do you... think it looks nice on me?
Mori: Reina really went above and beyond with these dresses, I almost feel out of place in it... Everyone looks so beautiful, I wish I was "elegant", too. We're having an actual tea party after this, so I hope I don't mess the dress up. I have what you'd call "butter fingers", for a lack of better terms, hehe...
Shion: These clothes are the kinds of things I’d never thought I’d ever get to wear! But, you know, they got me thinking... I would be a beautiful princess, wouldn’t I? This dress does make me feel like one! Now all I need is a prince who will save me~ One day I’ll find that special someone who’ll sweep me off my feet like that~! Or maybe it’s you...? Ahaha, just teasing, don’t get so embarrassed! Instead, join me for a cup of tea, won’t you?
Kiki: Today is the day! We dressed up in these beautiful dresses and had a tea party!! Kero-chan showed me how to dance in the big princess dresses maybe by Reirei, she looked so beautiful and elegant. I wonder if I looked as pretty as her when trying it myself, b-but I'm sure I did fine! Maybe we could try dancing together one day?♡
Sora: I can't believe Reina designed all these dresses! Like, not that I think that she couldn't do that, but they are so unbelievably beautiful! I feel like a Princess in these! I used to watch all those princess movies....I still really enjoy them...but please, don't tell anyone...
Mami: These dresses are amazing.... they’re clothes I would’ve dreamt to wear as a little girl! Horizons finally gets to have our sleepover, but not until after the tea party! Thank you again, Rei-Chan for inviting us, we’ll be sure to repay the favor!”

Mami: I'm so happy we got to put on a little show for all of the grade schoolers! Their reactions were priceless! The best part was definitely putting a rabbit in Cupid-chan's hat! "How do I do it?" A magician never reveals their secrets!
Shion: Mami-chan... Mami-chaaaan.... MAMI-CHAAAAAN!! Are you not going to help me out here?! Get this rabbit out of my hat now, it isn't funny! Urrrrgh.... I'll get her back someday, that's for sure! For now, please tell me you saw how cute those kids at the show were, they were just amazed at our idol magic! I can’t say I was enamored the first time I saw it too, but it just makes me so happy seeing their faces just... Light up like that!(edited)
Reina: They say if you believe in something, it might come true! While magic doesn’t seem to really exist...it exists for those children because they truly believe in it and are so fascinated by it! Maybe I should start believing in it again too~? Anyway! Everyone was having so much fun it made me feel so happy! I hope Shion-senpai is better now tho—
Inori: I may not look like it, but when I was little, I was enamoured by magic. I studied every book and movie about magic, but somehow I wasn't able to cast even a single spell. When I told Sora this, she said she'd lend me some of her Akanarian powers, so I might actually succeed? Okay, here we go. With all my heart, I cast my magic "Liveshow is a guaranteed success" spell! I wonder if it will work?
Kaya: It's pretty sad that, when you get older, you often don't believe in magic anymore. At least that's the way it is for many of us out there! I'm so glad there are people like Sora-chan with such a huge imagination or Inori-senpai who tries her best to cast a spell! giggles I wish i could have that much imagination again but i'm sure i had as much fun as the rest of horizons!
Sora: I don't know if my powers work here on Earth, since our magic source is the 7th of the Akanarian moons, but maybe Earth's moon is a suitable substitute. But please don't tell Inorin my doubts! She looked so happy and excited when I told her I'd lend her my powers! She looked as amazed as the children in the audience. I'll remember this day forever!
Kiki: Although I feel like I'm a little too old to believe in magic, I still get blown away by it! Everything looks so cool and it makes me feel like a little kid again! Hopefully I won't be too "wow!"-ed away by my own magic tricks!
Mori: Ikemen, ikemen, ikemen... That's all I've been told since we planned this show for a local elementary school and I'm not quite sure how to feel about it. Am I too masculine? Is it my height again? Ngh... Well, whatever; this is for the kids. If to instill a dream in them, I'll do my best for them, as well as Horizons! Let's go!
Miyako: Heehee..... seeing everyone's happy face makes me happy too. I still try to believe in magic as much as I can, and I admire children who still have that innocence about them. Idols casted a magic spell on me too when I was little, though maybe not as directly as we did with our show today. ....I hope we made quite the impression on these sweet kids!
April 11 is the birthday of our beloved Inori Kisaragi! Enjoy these scan of her reminiscing at the beach.
"This is a fan from the first liveshow Horizons did as a group. Despite it being old and worn, I still hold it dear to my heart. Because it's a precious memory I made with everyone. Just looking at it immerses me in a sentimental feeling. So even if the paper begins to tear and colours begin to fade, I'll still proudly display this fan on my shelf. Because I love Horizons. Truth be told, I would have been perfectly fine with not getting any presents for my birthday. Because being part of Horizons is is already more than I could ever ask for."
☀ MARCH 2019 - Performance at the Animal Shelter (unidolized)
Click “read more” to read little comments left by our idols!
Kiki: Fufufu~ Yako-chan and I don't have bad ideas, do we? All the cute animals were absolutely adorable!!! I've been wanting to help her for a while, but helping out with your friends makes it better. Look! I even made some new friends! Hopefully they'll help me as much as Horizons did!! Ehehe~~~♡
Miyako: Uaaaa.... being around fluffy animals makes me feel so relaxed. I love dogs especially, they won't judge, they'll always just be happy to see you! I was worried it might have seemed like a dumb idea, but after I visited the animal shelter, I really wanted to perform for them. Maybe they can't buy tickets or merchandise, being animals and all, but I think seeing their happy faces is enough of a reward. ♡
Sora: I had so much fun taking care of and performing for the animals at the shelter! I was so excited for today, that I even made little Akanarian headbands for them! Seeing their antennae bounce during our performance gave me so much energy! I could do thousands of live shows now!
Kaya: Ahhhh... today was such a great day ! I love animals so much and i always wished for a little dog at our home haha. When we were at the animal shelter i even got a little lamb to sleep in my arms with just singing a little lullaby. I felt so happy when i was holding this little guy ♡ I really hope i can come over soon!
Mami: “I’m so glad we were able to perform for the animals today! I really love to see all of their adorable faces! Maybe someday we can go again?”
Mori: "We sang for the animals at a shelter today, as per Miyako and Kiki's request... Who would've thought they were such animal lovers? It was a nice experience, though, and the animals seemed to enjoy the performance. It wasn't so bad, after all. I was a little nervous handling the hamsters, though... What if I was holding them wrong the whole time? And nobody told me?"
Shion: Can I tell you a secret? I... I don't really like animals? Well usually animals don't like me actually. Dogs and cats bark when I walk by, they always seem kind of scared. But... Rabbits seem to like me! I saw a bunch today and none of them ran from me! They let me pet them and everything, they're super soft, y'know? I think they really enjoyed the performance too, I'm really glad!
Inori: I was actually quite nervous about today's performance......What if my allergies started acting up during the liveshow? It would completely throw me off...thankfully it didn't happen. I've never had a pet so hanging around animals today was kinda fun, even if-.....h-HATCHOO!
Reina: “ Today we performed at the animals shelter hehe~ all the animals were so cute!! I felt so happy and soft inside~ One pig I had to take care of couldn’t stop moving around- taking care of it was tough! But it was also fun hehe~ i’m not sure about how the animals feel but i’m hoping they enjoyed our performance! The shelter owner seemed happy too~”
